XpresSpa

Linda just gave me the best chair massage I’ve had in years Would go here any time I had 30 min! I only wish I had more time!

The best thing about this place is you can get a manicure/​pedicure/​massage at the Airport! How awesome is that for all you who have arrived early! Checking into the amenities at the Orlando International Airport (MCO) and learning there was an XpressSpa right on the way to my gate, I decided to do just that-​arrive early and get a manicure. My nails were much neglected, and I myself was very road weary; so even though the price tag was $ 30 dollars (almost twice the cost of a land-​based mani!), I decided to plot down my money and my tired ass in the big massage chair and let the über efficient Yolanda have at my fingers. What I received was mediocre «Xpress“manicure. It looks fine, yes, but a big «meh» on the experience-​especially for the big price tag. The foot elevating, calf jigging, back rolling massage chair was honestly the best part. Bright side — I love the color, and I managed to board my flight without wrecking my new polish. Can’t say I won’t ever go back but, I could buy lunch and two glasses of airport bar wine, watch some sports, and talk to interesting fellow travelers for the money.

Great, relaxing experience in a clean spa. I never leave reviews but was so impressed I feel the need to after an excellent foot massage at the XpresSpa near gates 30 – 39.
I just finished a Disney trip where I spent 4 full days walking in the parks for an average of 12 hours per day. My feet were very sore and my plane was delayed. I decided to take a chance and indulge in a 20 minute foot massage. I sat in a «relaxation lounger» for the first 20 minutes since there was a wait. You can lay at a flat 180-​degrees if you wish. Yes, there is a lot of ambient noise because you are in an airport, but it is obviously more relaxing than sitting at the gate.
My massage was fabulous. The masseuse spent a lot of time on one spot kneading out a knot. I was shocked that afterwards my feet felt brand new. It made my delayed flight much easier to bear and my feet are grateful!

Great idea, modern décor, VERY, VERY poor execution! Spent 30 minutes TRYING to relax in the massage chair. Hair dryer noise blaring away, a kid throwing a tantrum in the hall and the staff talking. There’s nothing relaxing about stressful noise going on around you. AND I did have headphones on and could hear all this all over my music! The floor plan and staff needs vast improvement before I Would spend my money here again.

So yes, it’s a touch on the pricey side (you are at an airport after all) but I have to say this was one of the most pleasant surprises of my vacation! My boyfriend and I had some time to kill before our flight and were having a touch of the «blahs» as we waited for our plane home. We stopped by for the dual wellness package (2 15 minute services for $ 50) and it may have been the best money we spent all vacation! I get massages on a regular basis back in DC, and this was by far one of the best massages I have had in years! The therapist (male, but didn’t catch his name) was sooooo good and got me all nice and relaxed before my flight home. Great way to end our trip!

I had a terrible experience with a brutally rough massage therapist who didn’t respond to feedback to be gentler, and pushed me around so much that the massage chair lifted off the ground several times. I left in quite a bit of discomfort, and the therapist was very curt when he couldn’t get my card to run and I didn’t leave a cash tip. I’ll not be back, although I’ve had great experiences in other locations.

I was a massage therapist for 10 years, and trained massage therapists for many of those years. I’ve had 1000’s of massages. I believe the woman’s name was Linda. She did a kickass job for full body 30 minute session. She had a pleasant, warm personality and a great touch. Just the right amount of pressure and exactly what I needed. I am really surprised that I had such a great session at the airport… but I did. $ 65 and worth every penny.

Jim just gave me the best neck and shoulder 15 minute massage. Loose in places I did not know were tight! Wish I had more time b/​c all else below stands out now. Would go to Jim regularly if I lived here! He has a lovely energy about him, too. Go for it!

Good Swedish and deep dish choices for chair massage.
Didn’t have time to try the manicure or pedicure this time around.
Highly recommend

This is a review of the spa next to gates 1 to 9…
Given this is in an airport, it is no a surprise that the spa is pricey given the convenience. They have facials, mani, pedi, chair massage, recliner machine massage, and a full body massage.
I did the full body 30. min $ 65 which is clearly posted on the menu.
I am being truly honest to say that Hector gave me the best massage of my life. He was amazing. It was almost a deep tissue massage with no additional charges.
I would absolutely recommend it, but I suspect that Hector is the key to my rave review.
Ask for him, and wait for him if you have to. By God, camp out overnight if that is what it takes.

My chair massage was the perfect way to unwind from a work trip.
I got to the airport with plenty of time to spare so I headed over to express spa. There was a bit of a wait but since I wasn’t in a rush I settled into one of their leather massage chairs. Wow, those chairs are amazing, I NEED one! I have sat in many before and perhaps my judgement was clouded by my stiff back and exhaustion but this one just seemed just a little better than all of the rest.
After 15 minutes in the chair my masseuse was somehow able to to convince me to leave my little slice of paradise for the real massage. I had a chair massage and he was very good, the perfect amount of pressure and no talking. Although there was the typical airport din in the background I was able to completely escape and forget where I was, it was a great experience.
The prices are higher than a typical spa but they are clearly stated so you know what you are getting yourself into.

When you have a long time to waste at an airport, it’s irritating to me to just sit around. I walked around a lot and decided to get a pedicure. First of all, the pedicure starts with a long body massaging chair before they even touch your feet. I loved it! It was better than any of the spa massage chairs back home that I go to. This was a better massage chair that also massaged my neck, head and calves.
I feel so guilty for forgetting the girls name that did my pedicure. She was a lovely girl from Haiti. We had a great conversation and I had her pick my color (which she picked a great dark fuchsia).
Will be coming here next time I’m at this airport for a long time. Fantastic experience!

Whoever thought to put an express service salon inside an airport was/​is a genius. Let me preference my review by reminding you that THIS SALON IS IN THE AIRPORT, and everything in the airport is more expensive than normal. Now that I’ve set the expectation…
I had about an hour to kill before my flight and was, unfortunately, hung over like a motha, so drinking was out of the question. I was in desperate need of a pedicure, and thankfully the Xpress Spa was right near departure gate, so of course I stopped by. There was one lady finishing up her pedicure, and then it was my turn.
I didn’t get the name of the woman who did my polish, but she was so nice and did a good job. I saw some negative reviews from previous patrons who had a negative experience, but I was more than happy with the final result. My toes were also happy :-) I didn’t do any other treatments, but if I had more than an hour I would’ve tried a massage. The bill is a bit pricey– $ 45 for the Xpress Pedicure– but considering my other choices for airport entertainment, I’ll gladly take a pedicure any day.

This place was pretty pricey. $ 65 for a 30 minute full body massage. The chick who did mine was using WAY to much pressure, like hurting me! But she softened up for a little bit when I asked but then I think she forgot. I was trying not complain. She started out the massage talking, then I was interested in what she was talking about so I did engage. Bad idea. The 30 minutes was up and I had zero minutes of silence in there.
The best part about this place is that because it’s first-​come, first-​served, they do let you wait in one of the massage chairs. I got to sit there in peace for 25 minutes before my massage so all in all, this was a great way to kill the 1.5 hours before our flight. A quick bite to eat after, and I was on my merry way to boarding! Would I use this service again? As much as I hate to say no, I just can’t rule it out.

15 min refresher was just what the doctor ordered!
Clean, Friendly and Therapist was skilled!
Bit on the pricey side…15min@35 bucks

Meh is a good word. Got a 30 min foot massage and soak before my flight since I had a bunch of time to kill (Holiday travel sux). Everyone was very nice and they clearly explained their First Come, First Served policy. They do not take down your name — you must wait for a technician to be available.
Pros– great massage chairs while you wait or get a foot massage. Reasonable prices considering you’re trapped in an airport. Friendly staff. They have a surprisingly good and cheap selection of spa stuff for the plane like pillows, blankets, etc.
Cons — my therapist clearly had no idea what she was doing. I’ve received better foot rubs from my unwilling, untrained spouse. She basically moved her hands around in the general area of my feet and legs for 30 minutes with minimal pressure and clearly no real plan.
And just so you know, almost all treatments other than facials are conducted in full view of the terminal, so don’t go expecting privacy or a ton of relaxation.

Can an airport spa get any better than this?
I couldn’t have been happier to spot this spa after a long, sleep deprived week working convention hours.
I waited just a few minutes (in a massage chair no less) before my masseuse (sorry I didn’t catch her name…) worked her 15 minutes of magic! The massage was pricey but worth every penny. I left refreshed and ready to face a plane full of screaming children :)
I will definitely return when I’m in town again.

There’s really only one thing I expect when I get a manicure at places like this one: that it look better than what I would do myself.
Oh, how this one failed. The filing was uneven, there was polish ALL OVER MY FINGERS (even after she «cleaned it up»), and she just slapped on the bottom and top coats with complete disregard for full coverage. She even smudged my nails a couple of times and had to do mini touch ups in the middle of the manicure.
And then there’s the price. DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU DO GEL POLISH. They charge $ 20 for gel removal (on top of the $ 35 standard manicure fee). Seriously – they sit you alone with your fingers in acetone and charge you $ 20 for it. Ridiculous. And the worst is that I didn’t realize this until AFTER the process had been started.
So why not one star? Krystal was absolutely lovely to talk with, and the massage chairs are pretty killer.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! THIS PLACE WAS SUCH A RIPOFF. My manicure was $ 36, and all they did was soak my hands, «file» my nails (which are still uneven, fyi), and slop lotion on my hands. The polish is uneven and I don’t know who in the right state of mind would even consider this to be a manicure. Did this woman even have her cosmotology liscense? Not too sure.
Honestly, my dog could have given me a more relaxing, soothing manicure.

If I could give you no stars I would! During my third legged flight to Colombia, I stopped in for a neck and arm rub. The newly minted masseuse was fresh out of school. Although, everyone was pleasant. The actually massage was a nightmare.
In 10 minutes flat, he applied enough pressure that black and blue marks appeared the next day. The bruising and soreness lasted for 3 days, not a great start to a vacation. Obviously the staff is inexperienced at the Xpres Spas. They had a great business idea but failed to follow through on decent staff. Massage training requirements vary state to state and there is no spa manager ensuring quality. I would rather wait until I get to my destination or home for a proper masseuse.
