Croydon Rose Spa & Apothecary

I just experienced an incredible prenatal massage from Selena Belisle and I had to jump on Unilocal to recommend both her services and particularly her prenatal massage. She had an amazing array of pregnancy pillows that allowed me to lay on my stomach and have my back massaged. It was heaven and a real treat when I had accepted, prior to my arrival, that this massage might not be that great because of that limitation.
The spa is lovely and the aromas from the lotions and soaps they used during my facial were just wonderful also. I will certainly be back!

My wife and I stayed two nights as we were passing through MIami. Very small boutique hotel that seemed to be just right for the two of us. Staff is friendly. Parking valet is pretty flaky. Had called down twice during our stay to have our car brought around and both times we waited at least 30 min. What was irritating was that the staff takes their smoke breaks 30 feet from the front door so while your waiting you get to observe their antics. Shocked when one of them was a female manager. If you don’t have to deal with a parked vehicle, your visit should be great.

Here is where I had the best massage of my life. The masseuse (Selena Louise Belisle) was beyond impressive and extremely knowledgeable. After telling her about the recent pain I’ve been experiencing below the knees, she explained why I may be having the symptoms as a possible side effect to a past surgery and recommended me to see a physical therapist. Thank God she did– I am so glad I booked an appointment here, it has been life-​changing. I received more than just a massage.
This was worth every dollar spent.

I have worked with many healers all over the world. Annette’s massage and energy work was the most incredible. I am so grateful to have had her work with me. It was not just a massage but more of a life changing treatment. I will definitely return.

Absolutely the best in Miami we did a full body massage, facial and foot scrub. I did yoga for an hour prior. The energy work was off the charts. Last night in Miami and the best of the trip.

If you are visiting Miami and want an awesome massage– do your self a favor and visit Annette at the Croydon Rose on the 7^th floor at the Croydon hotel (a great boutique hotel to stay at if you want something other than generic). Don’t waste any time looking anywhere else — this is the place to go!
Part spa & part yoga studio — the atmosphere was blissful and full of serenity. My wife and I both agree that this was the best (couples) massage we’ve ever had, period.

I am forever ruined for other massage therapists after booking a service with Annette. As the manager and founder of the spa, she is certified in everything from massage therapy, prenatal and postnatal and other types of yoga, reiki, Ayurveda and everything in between. And it shows in her technique. I truly felt as though she was imparting her healing energy to every cell of my body. She really took her time to work through my areas of tension when she found them, never rushing and giving them proper attention so I left feeling completely restored. I found a stillness in her care that is hallmark of a true healer. Everywhere I was cold, she made warm. She had an intuitive knowledge in regard to amount of pressure and problem areas. I suggest the 90 minute as opposed to the 60 minute treatment, so you can get a deeper, thorough level of restoration. It was a very nurturing and holistic experience. Highly recommended. And I know she hand selects the other therapist she employs there, so I have no doubt they are all amazing!

Great spa treatment! However, parking was a beast and I wasn’t too keen on paying the $ 35 fee for valet. I probably wouldn’t come again for that reason alone but I’m glad Miami Spa Month gave me the opportunity to experience their luxuriant Ayurvedic Abhyanga Massage (I had to copy and paste that)!

The Croydon Rose spa is inside a little boutique hotel on Collins, and if you didn’t look carefully, you would miss it. Entrance is on the side street.
The spa is also hidden on the 7^th floor. If you want the locker rooms and soaking tubs and amenities, this isn’t for you. However, if you’re looking an incredibly relaxing massage, yes do step in.
I came for Spa Month and got the coconut rose massage with foot scrub. Annette is very kind, has a soothing voice, and knows how to apply the correct amount of pressure to deliver a relaxing full body experience. The rose water at the end — yes.
They were a little late getting the massage started but we got the full hour. It was just a bit confusing at the start as to what to do and where to go because they were late, and the hotel front desk didn’t really assist. But massage quality made up for it.

I am a massage connoisseur. Annette gave me the absolute best massage ever. I have not seen her talent in many years on the beach. The additional spa special foot scrub was amazing. July andAugust is spa month. Specials! Hotel Croydon offers yoga, massage, etc. No lockers, or steam rooms like a typical spa. Instead you get a warm relazing place to have special one on one attention with the highest quality I have seen. And I am a local on South Beach. I have seen them all.

Yoga Under the Stars was a wonderful event. It was organized by Annette Figueredo and the class was led by 2 wonderful instructors Silvina and Bethany, all from the Croydon Rose Yoga Spa. What a beautiful location to do yoga on a rooftop as the sun was setting. And, Silvina and Bethany were so wonderful; one led the class as the other demonstrated and walked around giving everyone individual attention. I’ll go back for sure.

I stayed at the Croydon hotel only to find out that the spa had recently opened. There was a discount for hotel guests so I thought why not. I booked a session with Anette, and she was great on the phone and very friendly. The setup was very professional and the ambient sounds/​smell/​lighting was great! The sheets were practically new and the table was comfortable. Anette has strong hands and I feel asleep twice in an hour, I highly recommend her, she is a very friendly and a great masseus.
