Overall, our experience at Glacial Waters Spa was just average. The place itself is clean and has a nice atmosphere, and the staff seemed friendly at first. However, the massage felt pretty overpriced for what we actually received. It wasn’t bad, but it definitely didn’t feel like it matched the price point.
Another downside was how pushy they were about getting me and my girlfriend to come back and check out all the other amenities they offer. We understand they want to promote their services, but it started to feel more like a sales pitch than a relaxing spa experience.
It’s not a terrible place, but between the cost and the pressure to book more services,...read full review
I had a pedicure with Lynnae and WOW!!! I have never EVER had a better pedicure! From the wonderful welcome to the perfect pressure and perfect massaging and the best polish application, along with the great conversation. Start to finish 10/10 experience. The nail room was impeccably clean and I felt extremely safe and the space was more than sanitary. I will most definitely be coming back every time I am in town! I can not recommend Lynnae enough!
I had the most relaxing time at the spa this last weekend. I enjoyed the dry sauna, steam room, hot tub and a 60 minute relaxation massage. It was LOVELY. The interior decor reminded me of a mountain lodge with the dark wood and Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired design; it was beautiful. I wish the fire by the hot tub had been lit; it would have added to the ambiance and to my experience. However, every other amenity had been considered. The higher end Aveda toiletries were a luxury I very much enjoyed when I showered after my massage. My masseuse was Dawson, and he was fantastic. I get regular massages at all different spas, and I have to say that my massage with him was one of the most relaxing I've ever had. He communicated well and had excellent technique. I never fall asleep during massages and I almost did here - 3 times! I would definitely request him by name the next time I return. Overall I was very impressed with this spa. I sat outside in the rocking chairs for an hour afterward chatting with friends - the only thing that was missing was coffee delivery! Otherwise it was a 10/10.
