A peaceful day in a beautiful atmosphere. The glorious visit started with a warm massage table and a cozy comforter. I would have been happy to just lie nestled between the warmth and wieght but then the 90 massage corrected the pain and discomfort of weeks of traveling. I have had many massges but this was truly theraputic. After the... More

The Spa at Essex is consistently wonderful -- I almost don't want to write the review because if too many ppl know about it then you really won't be able to get an appt. In all seriousness, you've not met a better staff, a wide array of affordable services and a nice quiet place to relax. Only issue: The quiet... More

The staff at the spa have always been extremely friendly and welcoming. I have only visited a few times, but I am waiting for a break in my busy schedule to go back! I have tried multiple massages all with different individuals and they have been fantastic. I feel my back tightening now, must be time to book another appointment! More

I will definitely go again, and hopefully soon. It is very modern, extremely well thought out building in wonderful grounds. The staff and unusually helpful and friendly. The two treatments I had were very well done. My husband was delighted with the high standard of the food (and that is extremely unusual, to say the least). I can't praise enough!... More

I visited the Spa of Essex with my sweetheart as a treat for a belated Valentine's Day. In addition to having a tranquil atmosphere, it is decorated in a chic and modern fashion. The colors on the walls are nice, great comfy furniture, and lavishly accomodated bathrooms and massage rooms. It kind of made me feel like I was hanging... More

I have been to the Spa of Essex many times for different services. Each time was a wonderful experience. The pleasure starts with the friendly staff setting you up with an appointment. Every time I was greeted with warm smiles and friendly staff. The Spa of Essex is a must for anybody who enjoys being good to their bodies. More

The Spa of Essex has not one but two relaxation rooms - one with a crackling fire and the other with dimmed lights and incredibly comfy chairs. All the staff is helpful and courteous - the other key to a relaxing spa experience. Who wants to spend $$$ on a treatment and then be confronted with frazzled or rude staff??... More
