VH Spa for Vitality + Health

I have had massages at the VH Spa in the past, my first massage ever was actually at VH while visiting on vacation and staying at the hotel. Since, I have moved to Arizona and I enjoy coming back to the spa for treatments. I had the new stone massage «rock & roll», which is far more than just «hot stones» lying on your skin. The therapist uses them as tools and modalities to your massage. It was extremely relaxing and the heat just penetrated right to the muscle. I will definitely do this style again, hopefully it’s not just a temporary special!
My therapist — Kerry was excellent! It isnt always easy to find a skilled therapist who also makes your feel comfortable and relaxing (doesn’t talk too much and doesn’t make it awkwardly silent). Kerry’s primary focus was ME and making sure I got the most benefit out of my session with her. Again truly surprised at the quality of the therapist especially since I booked last minute :)

Went here for a couple’s massage. It was extremely relaxing and I felt incredible for the rest of the day. Probably the best massage I’ve had.

Had three treatments in two days during our recent stay at Hotel Valley Ho. All three treatments and both technicians were A++! The pedicure by Kati was simply the best pedicure I have ever had the pleasure to experience! No nasty soaking tubs here!
Ask for Karen for a remarkable massage! She’s very knowledgeable and did a fantastic job working out the knots in my back and neck! The shower and locker rooms were spotless!

My friend and I both took a spa treatment and we both LOVED it.
the service, the actual massage, the place, the extra hot bathrobes etc.
Do recommend it.

Four stars for a decent massage, good customer service and affordable prices. We had a couples massage that was nice. The girls at the front desk were very pleasant. And they have a midweek discount that we were able to take advantage of. If you’re planning on staying for the day bring your swimsuit and go to the pool. The spa doesn’t have the amenities to just relax and hang out.

Laying down for a pedicure is weird… but I indulged them. Paying $ 65 for a pedicure I’m expecting something awesome… especially when it is an hour long. Though the pedicurist definitely worked well on my nails there was NO MASSAGE… Just repeated slathering of different creams on my feet and then wrapping them. I had to undress for a relaxing hot towel wrap bit halfway through the towels are cold and they aren’t removed.
I was SO disappointed by not only the lack of foot/​leg massage but by Tue fact that the bottoms of my feet are rough a day after my pedicure. And my feet weren’t that bad to begin with. This is a lot of money to spend on something so lack luster and poor quality.
I had originally rated this 2 stars… but noted how rough my heels are and felt one star is way more appropriate considering the cost.

My hubby surprised me with spa treatments on our Anniversary weekend at the Valley Ho. I was so excited when he told me where we were going only because I have had friends rave about their treatments there. The staff was very friendly, unlike other spas in the Scottsdale area where some people can act like they are better than you. We had a couples massage and I also had a facial which were awesome. And even though the womens lounge only had a steam room I feel that the treatments and the overall experience made up for it. I am so planning a girls spa day there for my Birthday…

I had a great massage and my husband and two daughters said the same.
I have read many of the other reviews so that being said…
I have stayed at the VH several times and have also stayed at destination spas in the Scottsdale area. These are not the same and should not be compared.
When I go to a «spa» in the area it is a completely different experience. Yes there are multiple spa treatments and relaxation and tranquility. That is what I pay for and expect. The fun factor of the Valley Ho is not what is expected at these places.
The massage was great and the fact that i could get a massage at the Valley Ho was the bonus.
If you are looking for a «spa» experience go to a spa but if you want a great treatment in a cool hotel then go to the Spa at the valley Ho.
Love the hotel, love the spa.

I booked the 90 minute winter facial with Amanda. I didn’t expect the whole robe, slipper and locker routine, but there was a nice, clean little area stocked with fresh lemon water, magazines and comfy chairs to wait for treatment. It was nice and very quiet.
The actual treatment was beyond words. I was fighting to stay awake so I wouldn’t miss a second of this wonderful experience. I have had many facials and the aesthetician has either been super chatty, snobby or just aloof. Today was just that, an «experience». My girl knew exactly what she was doing, was informative and not overly talkative. I don’t remember the last time I was so relaxed. She was professional and cool. I will for sure return for another treatment from her.
As my 7 year old would say «Best day ever!»

I have to say, usually a spa is a spa is a spa. Some are fancier then others, but what really makes a spa fantastic is the staff — and this place has got phenomenal staff! I booked in for the honey ginger salt scrub with massage. It was 90 minutes in total and on special for $ 120 plus taxes and tip. The salt scrub with first, followed by the massage. The salt scrub was really neat although I kind of felt like I was in the bottom of a martini glass all covered in salt! Then came the massage, it was relaxing when it needed to be, invigorating at times and really work out my knots and kinks. Afterward I felt amazing, absolutely fantastic, it was exactly what I needed. Wesley is so professional and just fantastic at what he does. The change rooms are very nice and I really like that they have unique teas at the front to try. I would 100 percent come back next time I am in Scottsdale and I recommend to anyone looking for really, really good quality massage to try out the VH spa!

I have to give my praise and appreciation to the owner/​manager who genuinely had concern for my experience. This proves an absolute professionalism and integrity for this place of business for both his employees and guests. Thank You, wishing you continued success.

I just had my second Spa appointment and I must say, it gets better and better each time! The staff is so friendly, the waiting room always so clean and the service is extraordinary! Everyone should partake in what the Spa has to offer!

Holy crap I had the best massage of my life here. I have some serious SI joint issues that is the bane of my existance. I got a travelzoo deal with some girlfriends and tried it out. Karen was my therapist and this chic flipped me all over that bed. dug her knees into my butt and completely released the tight muscles that plague me. Not only that but she showed me at home deep stretches I could do for relief. She really educated me on how to work on deep stretches to alleviate my constant pain. I felt amazing and I felt as if she really knew what she was doing with my very specific problem areas.

I have wanted to try this spa for sometime now and what better time to do so is Spa Week where services are discounted.
I made an appointment for a massage and was not disappointed. From the Valet to the receptionist to the therapists, this spa met all expectations. Westley, my masseur was fabulous, making me feel like a brand new person.
Having such a wonderful experience with my massage I asked if I could also get a facial. The therapist examined my skin and explained what type of facial would best benefit my skin. I glowed as I left the spa!
*oh and by the way, after each treatment your robe is given back to you warmed for a very cozy feeling. Great way to end your treatment!!*

Came here with my girlfriends for their Sunday Spa special — 60 minute treatment plus a 30 minute mini treatment for $ 99.
They have a steam room, shower facilities, a small waiting room and allow you access to the gym. You can also hang out at the pool if you want to make it an all day event.
The locker area is a bit small but not a big deal.
After the treatment, they bring you a moroccan oil treatment you can use in the steam room and then a glass of champagne or chardonnay.
The massage therapists weren’t overly talkative and the treatments were performed well in my opinion.
For $ 99, price point is fair.
Front desk was friendly & prompt! Breanna the spa manager managed to get all 5 of my friends appointments at the same time so it was a great girls spa day.

I went to the spa a few weeks ago for their Sunday special — 60 minute treatment + 30 minute treatment & a glass of champagne. You also are able to use their facilities — the pool, work out room, or just lounge in the waiting area. I came a bit early and laid out by the pool. Make sure to get a key from the front desk prior to heading out. They have a lot of good food options at the café you can order from as well.
The waiting room isn’t lavish like other spas in the area — it’s got lockers, showers, and a couch and two recliners to relax in.
I started with my 60 minute massage with Karen. She is hands down the best massage therapist I’ve seen in Phoenix since moving here. I’ll definitely go back to see her. I picked a mini facial for my 30 minute treatment which was great & felt much longer than 30 minutes.
Once you’re done, the front desk brings you a glass of champagne /​wine so you have some time to relax after your treatments.
I ended up buying the neck/​head stabilizer Karen used on me during my massage from the gift shop. Be sure to check in on Unilocal — I got a free travel kit with my purchase.
Overall, I had a great experience & will definitely be back to take advantage of their great Sunday deal!

I really like this place. I have been here a couple of times, for different things. This last time was for an aromatherapy massage ($ 50 for an hour! It was a special). The masseuse was on time, attentive and did a great job. You get a nice warm robe when you are done and can use the sauna, shower etc in the spa. Apparently, you also have access to the pool for the day, however, I have not ever taken advantage of this.
They have a nice morrocan oil mask for your hair available for when you use the sauna, which comes with a little eye mask. The red flower products are the best! I thoroughly enjoy coming here, it is a smaller spa, which is something I like. The staff have always been very friendly and not one bit pretentious. I recommend getting on the email list, they always run some great specials. Also, they will add gratuity automatically when you pay, which works perfect for me, but is something you should be aware of.

I wouldn’t consider this a normal «spa.» It doesn’t have the relaxing atmosphere that most spas have, but it is nice and the Red Flower products are great.
The receptionist is wonderful and very attentive.
Massage was ok. He was too light and didn’t focus on the areas I asked him to.
Facial was fantastic.

This is hands-​down the best place for a massage or facial in the valley. Every time I go here, I leave saying it was the best massage I’ve ever had. There are always great deals on their webpage; last time I went was during Spa Week. I had the most amazing aromatherapy massage for $ 50; it was this crazy «pick a flower» thing but worked perfectly for what I was needing that day. You can also use the hotel pool whenever you come here, which is off the hook on the weekends, but quiet and mellow through the week. I usually come on Wednesdays when it’s $ 75 for an hour of whatever you want and then spend a few hours in the pool and jacuzzis.
My sister-​in-​law had her bachelorette party in the spa a week before her wedding. There were like a dozen girls and they all raved about their day doing massages and mani-​pedis and facials. They even did a bellydancing class and then had cheese plates and wine on the spa deck (compliments of the cool new brother-​in-​law, of course). The staff treated them like family, which is one reason I really love this place. No noses in the air, no snotty attitudes… just big smiles all the way around.
Check it out… a sweet little place!

I would give it zero stars if I could.
Sigh.
My old friend was in town, and we hadn’t seen each other in years. We planned on getting together, having facials and massages, then laying around the pool all afternoon before a fancy dinner.
I had a gift certificate from spafinder and thought that the spa at the Valley Ho seemed like a great choice!
We arrived 15 minutes early, were checked in, showed our robes, given lockers, and told to wait in the waiting room for our technicians to fetch us.
We waited.
And waited.
And waited.
After approx 40 minutes (which went by fast as we’re old friends and had a lot of catching up to do), I poked my head towards reception and was told «We forgot you were here, we’re sorting it out»
Another 20 minutes pass, and employees start trying to devise plans to accomodate both of us and both of our appointments.
The hour long wait cost us our much anticipated pool time, they put my friend in a hotel room with a mobile table for her massage, and my afternoon of relaxation turned to extreme anxiety and disappointment.
They did not apologize, simply took our money and turned their noses up at us.
The worst of it is, I used my birthday GC on this piece of crap spa :(
Such a waste.
