Orient Retreat Spa

Purchased a facial plus body massage treatment for my better half as an anniversary gift. She loved it! She arrived 30mins early as recommended so she could use the sauna and warm up for her treatments, she enjoyed every minute of the 2hr session. Wish this is not a female only spa, or I would definitely do a couple spa with my wife.

After reading the reviews, I think everybody comes in with their mom.
My mom introduced me to this spa when I was barely out of elementary. My sister & I used to wait on the couches or sit at the restaurant downstairs while she got her facial or a massage.
The service here is amazing where they actually remember you, your preferences, and odd details about your life.
The ambiance is soothing as it is only a female spa — toning down any insecurities.
There are 2 spas — one steam sauna & one heat sauna (they even provide mini damp towels before you step in)
There are 3 showers — each providing shampoo & body wash.
The lockers have a towel, a robe and a pair of slippers for you to change into.
I get 2 things done here — the facials & the massage.
You can get them to adjust anything mentioned below:
The rooms for your treatment are always dimmed and have soft music playing.
They then place a blanket as you settle onto the bed (you may ask for another blanket if too cold)
The bed is heat adjustable.
Honestly, not bad — but then I don’t know what the prices are as I don’t pay for them.
Thanks mama :)

My Order: Full Body Massage, 1 hour
Pros:
— private rooms w/​peaceful music and dim lighting
— it’s a women-​only spa
— there is a steam room & a dry sauna, complementary of use before/​after your massage
— they have deals (as the girls have previously mentioned, where you can buy packages and get a better bang for your buck)
— complementary tea, snacks, lotions, etc.
Cons:
— they only have single-​rooms; there are no rooms for two/​more people to have massages simultaneously
My friend graciously brought me here b/​c her mother had purchased a package deal. It was very relaxing & the masseuse who helped me was very kind and friendly. The spa studio is, in fact, very small but it’s very serene and peaceful. I quite enjoyed the experience!

My experience is so very similar to Vivien’s!
My mom has been a member since the ‘time of old’ and one of the ladies (Amy) even said she still remembers me and my grade school backpack waiting for mommy at the spa…*heart*
The spa is not typical of a Western Spa where you pay per treatment. You buy packages that never expires! What this means is that my mom has accumulated over the years hundreds of treatments that she is desperate to use. Hence, my mom has now recruited me to go with her to help use… and has even told me to please go on my own. Which brings me to yesterday…
Intro. I didn’t go on my own as my mom wanted a massage. So we were immediately greeted by familiar faces and brought to the locker room. Inside you will find a robe, slippers, 1 towel and a black mesh bag (I believe to carry your things). Then, you make your way to the wet/​dry steam sauna room where you relax. I love the COLD mint towels you can put on your face (very refreshing) and the hot tea that is waiting for you (it has your name). You can also choose to drink freshly squeezed orange juice and specialty coffee’s (but you have to buy these packages as well).
While you wait in the steam rooms or outside in the Relaxation Area, an attendant will come and get you and you proceed with your treatment. This time, I had 1.5 hour Hot Stone Massage (OMG!), but I have also had regular massages, head massages, and wraps (slimming treatments). While the relaxing music was great, the banging and renovation upstairs wasn’t…but this will pass.
3 showers are available with soap and shampoo for you to use.
I really love this spa… probably because I have never paid: p Perhaps more so is the fact that I get to spend some quality time with mommy

My mom and I have been coming to this spa for many years. I think she’s been a member since 1997! It’s a nice little spa on the 3^rd floor of Times Square that caters only to females. My mom usually purchases packages (eg. 30 30min massages, 20 facials, etc.) and we come and «redeem» them.
The spa isn’t very big but is decorated in a nice and simple way. There are lockers, an area for reading magazines on sofas, an area for relaxing on lawn chairs, washrooms, showers, a sauna and a steam room. There are usually complimentary Clementines, crackers and herbal tea, in the summer there is lemon water or apple water.
Upon walking in, the ladies assign you a locker that has one of those locks you can set so there is no need to bring your own lock. Then you can change into the robe they provide you and slip into slippers. You can then relax in the sauna or steam room and someone will call you when they are ready to do your treatment. Also there is tea on the bar already poured for you with your name and locker number on the cup!
All the ladies are very nice and they treat you with respect. I think it does help to know mandarin or Cantonese if you want to communicate with them.
Overall the spa is very clean, when you’re ready to leave there is an area for you to blow dry your hair and there are products *cleanser, toner, moisturizer etc.* available for your use.
Some things to note:
— There is no conditioner there! so bring your own
— If you go on a busy day, sometimes you can hear the workers chatting away in their back room when you’re in the treatment rooms. the walls are a little too thin
