SPAVital

SpaVital has an excellent staff – they always do their best to make each guest feel welcome and relaxed. Austin has done most of my massages, and he does phenomenal work. The spa, along with the fitness facility (Pura Vida) are always exceptionally clean and well-​appointed. They validate parking, and provide thoughtful touches such as free refreshments and blankets to keep you cozy in the relaxation room. I took off one star because in order to get between the locker room and the spa, you must use the elevator, which is a bit awkward when all you’re wearing is a robe and slippers. Overall, though, SpaVital is a good place to go for a workout and massage.

This is a good spa. The receptionist is always professional and accommodating. I have had massages from Julie, Renee, and a few others and the quality of the massage is variable. Not the best I’ve ever had, but it’s certainly a relaxing, worthwhile experience.

The spa is small but nice. The body treatment I had was wonderful!
However, I broke out in hives after my facial. I called and spoke with them about it, and discovered the aesthetician had used a poppyseed scrub on my face. She said she usually asks people if they have allergies, but must have forgot. She said they would give me an upgrade on my next facial, but no real apologies, and no follow-​up from anyone including the manager. Pretty disappointing for a spa with this reputation and those prices.

I came in for a mini pedicure during Happy Hour one night after yoga. Mary did a fantastic job & was delight! I will most definitely be back to see her. The Spa is very clean & so relaxing.

So good — deep tissue couples massage with champagne and truffles… I go to physical therapy for back issues, and this deep tissue massage was amazing for my f#cked-up back muscles. Massage and overall service was so good that I’m considering joining PuraVida as a member. Superb experience. My girlfriend was super impressed :-)

Lovely. A girlfriend and I came here for a pedicure and enjoyed a wonderful time here. Arriving at the spa is easy and the staff were friendly. The spa was quiet, smelled really nice, and was a very relaxing atmosphere to be in. We enjoyed tea and small chocolates before our pedicures, and then had a private pedicure room, which was very nice as well. A great place to visit, the staff are very professional, and one of the best spas in Denver. Though it’s not quite a Vegas spa, spending a day here using the spa and the fitness center are well worth the money.

Hands down the best spa in Colorado. I recently moved to Arizona and miss this special place every day. I have had just about every service they offer. Spray tan, manicure, massage, you name it. Everyone here is incredibly friendly and helpful. The space is always clean and neat. The overall atmosphere is calming and refreshing. I adore the shop and all of the wonderful items they have to offer. They are always providing the highest quality candles, skin care, nail care and even elegant hand made jewelry. Spa vital is the first place I go when visiting Denver.

I have been seeing Alexa for facials for about 2 years now, and she is solely responsible for turning my skin around! I went in having trouble finding the right combination of products for my skin but also very standoffish about being sold whatever the spa’s product of the minute is. She really respected my opinion on that, helped me work out which products would truly make a difference and did not just push everything on me.
I have come to trust her completely with my skin. If she recommends a product, I usually go with it and she is always completely right (and I’ve come to be a huge fan of the Eminence line). She is great at tailoring the facial to what you want and what your skin needs.
The 5-​star rating goes to Alexa. For the spa itself, I would give it a 3 – 4 star rating. The front desk staff is hit or miss (wonderful or very difficult) and the facilities are just okay. You do get access to the gym for the day, but if you don’t use that, there is nothing special about the spa area. Also, the facial and massage rooms are over the exercise rooms — which means sometimes you get lots of yelling and bass, particularly if you are scheduled during a spin class. And it’s pretty darn expensive, particularly if you don’t use the gym facilities as an additional perk — I’ve paid less in Aspen for services.
Be completely confident in putting your skin in Alexa’s hands, and plan to get there a few hours early to use the gym or steam room to get a little more for your dollar.

My boyfriend and I went in for massages — I got a swedish and my boyfriend got a deep tissue. I was really pleased with my swedish massage with Austin. He really knew what he was doing and released a lot of tension in problem areas in my back. He let me choose the scent of oil that I wanted, asked about pressure and asked if I wanted the massage table heat turned on.
My boyfriend had a different experience. He got a «deep tissue massage» but left very unsatisfied. He was not asked about oil, temperature, or pressure the entire time. During the massage the girl was going way too soft and was not doing anything for this very tight muscles so he said «you can go double as hard if you want» and she responded by saying «haha if I want?» and then didn’t go any harder for the remaining hour. She made him feel really uncomfortable asking her again to go harder so he just didn’t say anything at all. He left somewhat relaxed but in no way was his massage a deep tissue and his back was in more pain than when we arrived. The massage was definitely not worth the money for him. I think it depends on the masseuse that you get here.

I looked all over Unilocal at reviews for which spa experience I wanted for my Mother’s Day gift. I settled on Spa Vital and I would say a lot of the other reviews are pretty spot on.
The treatments themselves were pretty good. Though waxing isn’t ever pleasant, Amy did an amazing job and I will definitely go back to see her. For my actual treatments, I did the massage and scrub combination (Perfect Bliss). While the scrub said 30 minutes, its more like 20 with a 10 minutes shower. So i’m not sure that service was really worth it. The massage was very nice and the pressure was perfect.
On the flip side, if you are looking for the super-​relaxing, zen spa experience, you wont really find it here. I really disliked the fact that the locker room was co-​ed. I always felt a little on edge that a guy would stroll right in. I’ve never seen a co-​ed locker room at a spa, there is a reason why. For the «relaxing» waiting room, it was anything but. I was the only person in a robe in the room with 3 – 4 others in their street clothes. I felt a little weird. It was very bright in there as there are floor-​to-​ceiling windows. Finally, there is major construction going on across the street so you could hear that noise.
Overall it was a good experience, but not amazing. If you are looking to get in and out, the treatments are good; if you are looking for relaxation and a total experience, probably not the spa for you.

I had a several treatments — muscle melt massage, 60 min facial, & manicure. The massage therapist and I discussed what I desired prior to the treatment, and the description read that special attention was to be paid to the spinal muscles and acupressure points. It was a very nice, soothing massage, however my back is still killing me and she spent very little time and with very little pressure on my spine and neck/​shoulders. I discussed with her which muscles specifically I have issues with. I worked as an Esthetician in the spa industry for eight years prior to my current career, and have a pretty good grasp on what to expect in treatments. When my therapist returned me to the lounge, she grabbed another client within 5 mins. Overall, my opinion is that this spa is very cookie cutter, and looking for clients who received gift certificates and not necessarily repeat clients.
My facial was different — I explained to my Esthetician I practiced for 8 yrs previously and was looking only for relaxation. She followed suit, however I thought it was odd she applied cold elixirs with cold hands only to my face, and not to my neck or décolleté. I don’t want to judge since my overall opinion of this place was that the therapists had to follow a strict protocol. Wherever I have worked as an Esty, massage had always been very important. I’ve never had a facial that didn’t spend adequate time on this, so I was a little let down since I felt the Esty had a really nice touch.
My manicure was nice — Jessica was great. I will be returning for her!
Also, they give you a 3 hr voucher for parking, but since I was there for more than 3 hrs, I had to pay — the machine said I owed an additional $ 8, but all I had was cash. I put a $ 20 bill in the machine and it displayed, «out of change» and refused me the rest of my money. :(

A lot of spas (when bundled with a hotel or a gym) generally offers expensive but mediocre service. Most of the time, I feel like I pay for the décor more than the end result of the service. The place is a bit hard to figure out — b/​c you go to their 3^rd floor, which is really the 4^th floor? I have no idea — it’s like going to Hogwarts. The place is really pretty — the color schemes are well thought out to evoke a soothing vibe. It’s REALLY well decorated and the rooms are big enough where it’s comfortable and small enough that you don’t feel like you’re in some vast cavern getting a service done. Nice job interior decorator. I had a spa day (massage/​facial/​mani/​pedi). The massage and mani/​pedi were good — on par, but the facial stood out the most! I had Alexa, super sweet gal. She took the time to get to know my skin before doing her magic. Why am I so stoked? I have milia (these little white things along my cheekbone) — and NO ONE has every gotten those out without a handful of machines and things that hurt. Pop pop pop — they were gone when I woke up from my facial (yes, when I woke up — I passed out mid way — she had to shake me awake). She used an organic line that smelled so good I wanted to eat it, and I’ve got crazy sensitive skin — and usually break out after a facial — it’s been a few days, and my skin is fine. It’s kinda glowing. One of the best facials I’ve ever had.

I was really disappointed with Spa Vital. Being an avid consumer of almost all the Cherry Creek shops and venues I was expecting excellent and friendly service. Instead I got snubbed by everyone I came across in this place. The spa itself is lovely and very nicely appointed, and the parking was validated. I had just gotten off of a red eye from Hawaii and was really looking forward to getting a pedicure-​mainly to get all those beach calluses off! My pedicure was less than stellar as my calluses were still there after the fact (and they weren’t that bad!). There was no scrubbing involved and I could have done my nails the same as the tech did at home. I don’t mean to be negative but it was just a really disappointing experience, I was just hoping for some TLC and it just didn’t happen. Perhaps I will give Spa Vital another chance but for the time being I’ll keep to my less fancy salon.

Went there last week and had a fantastic massage from Abby. I was visiting from out of town; if I were local to Denver, i’d definitely go back for an appointment with her specifically.
I didn’t love the set up of the spa (coed locker area, shower and «getting ready» area in closed rooms, so you feel like you’re taking up space that someone else could be using.) But, if you’re just planning on heading in, changing, and then going home after changing back, it’s fine.

I read some reviews of SPAVital on the Pura Vida page, but not these. However, I would say that my experience is somewhat similar. I booked myself a half day spa package, which was basically custom and took some work over the phone to get it done. The first phone call was not very helpful, but the second one where I actually purchased my treatments and booked them was fabulous (unfortunately I don’t remember the woman’s name). Overall, my experience was great but I did feel rushed at times, and for the amount of time and money I was spending there, I expect things to be super chill! I would say that was my biggest disappointment with my experience; it just wan’t as relaxing as some spas I have been to. At one point in time during my body treatment I could hear the yelling of what sounded like a spin or other kind of fitness class, which is not conducive to ultimate relaxation. I wan’t super fond of having to go downstairs for the steam room either. The front desk staff was friendly, but not as friendly as I would have liked. When I enter a spa I expect big smiles and calming, welcoming personalities. I kind of got the same vibe from the massage therapist and esthetician; nice but hurried. Despite these issues, my massage, wrap and facial were all great. Basically, it is all about what kind of spa environment you like. If you don’t mind one that is part of a gym, then I am sure this will be a great option for you. However, if you are looking for more of a serene and natural spa experience, then you might prefer somewhere else. Again, this review is particular because of the cost involved and the expectations that come along with it.

A great spa for men in Cherry Creek North with complementary 3 hour validated parking in garage. Fantastic staff and great facilities! This spa is always voted the best in Denver and my morning here could not have been better!

I’m new to Denver but not new to massage. I had the rejuvenatipn deep tissue massage with Stephanie and it was awesome. It’s evident Stephanie knows what she is doing. I have a herniated disc in my neck and she did a great job working around it and helping it. I already made an appointment with her for next week! The only reason I didn’t give the spa 5 stars is because I wasn’t find of the co-​ed locker area which requires individuals to gather their things from the locker to take to a changing room not a big deal but enough to keep me from giving a perfect score.

This is a review of the Spa only of Pura Vida’s experience. There are more reviews on the Pura Vida’s page as well.
In my opinion, do NOT get your nails done here.
DO get a massage or facial here.
I enjoy a rare treat at a spa and expect a great experience for this kind of expense. I researched other reviews and thought this would be a great place to try.
First off, I had a complicated experience in which I tried to schedule a spa day for three of us. It took a lot of effort on MY end to communicate with their staff. I am talking weeks of phone calls and asking to talk to the manager repeatedly.
They were finally scheduled for the end of the day on a Thursday and the staff was rude and made us feel super rushed — NOT AT ALL RELAXING.
The manicures and pedicures left a lot to be desired, they left out some of the features explained in the treatments on their website and in the pamphlet right next to me while I was getting my toes done. And the bench you sit in for a pedicure is rather uncomfortable for what I want when going to a spa.
My stepmother had a great facial however. But the intense rudeness of the front desk staff leaving was ridiculous! I was quite upset and called the manager Jessica the next day. As I had spoken to her so much she was familiar with me and did her best to correct my situation.
I returned for a massage and the two experiences were night and day! A warm welcome at the front desk, a thorough tour of the locker area and an AMAZING massage! I went for their signature massage quite hesitant, but hopeful. Wow, it was fabulous! I am still in a daze of hypnotic relaxation as a result of the treatment. I was well taken care of upon exiting and it was very evident that they listened to what I had to say about my first experience and improved upon it greatly.
I can’t say that I recommend getting your nails done here, but I loved my massage experience and definitely recommend that! Plus, they have some tasty cucumber ice water, various teas, and a variety of calming spa music. And it is possible that my bad experiences may have just been rare. But, neither time did they say ANYTHING about the supposed free access to the gym with a spa treatment. Not that I would work out or anything but they do claim to have this bonus and it was not mentioned.
The signature massage was of such high quality that this coupled with the manager’s efforts turned what would’ve been a 1 star review up to a 4!

What a fantastic splurge. I got a mani and pedi done for a wonderful price. It is 5 floors of bliss. I worked out in their gym, than recovered in their relaxation room, and spa tub. Ask for Renee Humes she did wonders for my footsies they are soft, sensual, and glowing.
