| - I quite enjoyed novo spa despite having low expectations due to other yelp reviews.
My husband and I came for the taste of heaven treatment. This included a 60 minutes couples massage, 15 minute foot scrub and massage, and a couples shower for 20 minutes in the massage room. The total of this was $300. You can claim the 60 minute massage if you have extended health benefits.
I called in to book the appointment. The staff was friendly. They took my credit card info to reserve the spot. They said they were going to call to confirm two days before the massage, but didn't. Only mistake, I felt they made.
There's no parking on the premise, but there's plenty of street parking. Go 20 minutes earlier so you can fill out the form, change into your robe and sandals and hang out in the lounge before heading into your massage. They will provide you with a lock and locker. You can try the sauna out before going to the massage as well in the change room. I personally didn't like the sauna because it wasn't hot enough.
We went into the couples room and the RMT showed us how to use the couples shower. It doubles as a steam room so it's pretty cool.
The RMTs asked us what we wanted to focus on and told us if we didn't want foot scrubs, we can get a scalp massage instead. We both opted for the foot rub.
The massage was pretty good. They followed our instructions and the pressure was good.
After we had our treatment, we hung out in the lounge. They provided tea, oatmeal cookies, apples, trail mix, and wasabi beans. We hung out and read a little before heading to the sauna in our respective changing rooms.
The entire experience took about 2.5 hours. This place reminded me of elmwood but minus the water therapy treatments.
I enjoyed it and wouldn't mind coming back. The cost is similar to elmwood.
