ELMWOOD SPA REVIEWS
I had a fabulous experience here with my friend for a girls day out. We each got a few tissue massage and then spent time in the water /spa facilities. I have to say, it was probably the best deep tissue massage I’ve ever had (and I’ve had quite a few). I have recurring upper back and shoulder pain, and it truly felt like the man who massages me really got into those muscles! The pools were lovely and the steam room extremely powerful (truly felt all the pores opening). I highly recommend Elmwood Spa if you’re looking to relax, rejuvenate get a good massage. Also the location is super convenient.
Wonderful day at the spa! Great atmosphere and perfect to decompress and relax. The place is well maintained, water therapies are clean and welcoming. Staff are friendly and helpful. Lots of towels and robes to change out of wet ones. Massage therapist, Alba was amazing! And great way to end the day with a late lunch in the Terrace restaurant!
Had a wonderful half a day visit with my partner. Luba is an amazing massage therapist. Highly recommended. Staff are friendly and attentive. Service is all around great. Facility is clean. They have thought of every little detail here and there. Will definitely go back.

NOVO SPA REVIEWS
My husband enjoyed his therapeutic massage so much, he extended the time from 70 to 90 minutes. He also had a pedicure and says his feet are smooth and soft. He praised all the wonderful people at the spa. He will definitely want to go again, perhaps for Father's Day.
We had a good experience with the couples package we purchased. The experience was very relaxing - first time my partner fell asleep during a treatment. True testament to how relaxing the package was. From scrub to massage, all was good.
Amazing! I had a massage last week and my masseuse was excellent. So caring to my needs and was so professional. Happy to be going back soon.

HAMMAM SPA REVIEWS
Had a wonderful relaxing time at this location. I got their signature facial coupled with their detoxifying algae wrap. Everyone was so accommodating, warm and friendly. The steam room design was hypnotic and the lighting and music created a zen experience for a mini-meditation sesh. I wish I had the time to inquire more about the products used for my facial because we are on day 2 and my face still feels baby face smooth & hydrated.
Such nice and cozy place, I had my appointment yesterday with massage and wrapping hot water treatment. Masseuse was really respectful and professional, love the herbs smell in a studio, comfy seats and spacious hammam
My first time visiting and I absolutely loved it. The ambiance is amazing, feels like you’re on vacation. The staff is wonderful and friendly. A very special thank you to an aesthetician Tanya, she did an amazing job. Michele and Tatyana were wonderful as well. 10/10 recommend!
