I can't recommend Al enough! Both in our experience this summer and last summer, they were kind, respectful and really took the time to make sure my partner and I had a good experience. I really enjoyed the scent we picked out and Al listened to my feedback throughout the massage to make sure it was working for me.
by Anonymous on Jul 09
Ali was excellent! Very skilled and professional! I felt very listened to and Ali was totally open to any adjustments in pressure and made it so comfortable to ask. A wonderful and deeply relaxing experience. I felt like I had spent the day on the beach after 1 hour. Only gave 4 stars for ambience because I didn't love the music.
by Anonymous on Jul 06
Always checks in in a really great way from things related to massage pressure to what I may not be comfortable with. I feel comfortable saying what works for me, without anxiety, and I really appreciate that. Massages are always 10/10 as well!
by Isaac on Jul 03
Al was fantastic. Very accommodating and skillful. They were able to identify areas that needed extra work and everything felt amazing.

Al was very professional and accommodating, making sure to communicate thoroughly about my needs and comfort. They were a very skilled masseuse and I left feeling totally relaxed.

You pass through a slightly edgy reception area to get to your massage room. There you will find a comfortable, massage, bed, wonderful, aromatherapy, and White Noise coupled with calming instrumental music. So easy to relax. So difficult not to fall asleep.
