About
Cold Plunge & Sauna
This spa does not feature a sauna or cold plunge facility. The wellness experience is centered on massage and reflexology services.
Atmosphere
The Earth | Reflexology • Spa presents itself as a fusion-style venue aiming to provide a unique, creative, and multi-sensory "Heaven on Earth" experience. Guests note the facilities are clean and fresh. However, some spa-goers report that the actual experience can differ from the advertised diversity and free add-ons mentioned on the website.
Pricing
Pricing for massage services generates mixed feedback. The standard house fee is noted as $80 for an hour, which some guests find slightly higher than the local norm. Other guests report being asked to pay upfront, which is viewed negatively, and mention experiences where the final cost was negotiated or escalated to $200-$300 for services perceived as standard.
Staff
Feedback on staff is highly variable. Specific practitioners like Bob, Coco, and Lisa receive praise for good massage technique and being helpful and caring. Conversely, other guests report very sub-par massages from unnamed staff, citing issues like the use of incorrect equipment, a lack of oil, inattentiveness, and in one instance, a massage that ended significantly early. A specific incident involving inappropriate conduct with a male guest was also reported.
Additional Amenities
The primary additional amenity noted is a table shower, which guests find very relaxing when offered before a massage.
