Incredible treatments that care for your body as well as mind and spirit

by brittanymoyer

The owner and staff at Portland Spa and Boutique have an incredible heart for service that I have not experienced anywhere else. They truly understand the art of serving their clientele and making time stop for a moment in our busy lives where it is "All About You!"

Thank you for an amazing experience! The massage and facial were fantastic and definitely will come back.

• Pros: Warm and relaxing environment with wonderful treatment options. Easy valet parking and a fantastic location.
• Cons: Wish they were located in Washington.

First class spa

by harworth

I just want to say I had a great massage at the Portland Spa. With the stress of the holidays and the weather it was just what I needed. Park at The Riverplace(they comp your parking).No need to worry about parking is a great start to a wonderful experience.

The spa is classy and cozy at the same time.The staff was very nice and helpful.

Relaxing waiting room. The massage was right on time, and very relaxing.

I will be back!!!

Manicure/Foot Massage? What massage?

by calplay1

I had a similarly horrible experience at Portland Spa. My boyfriend bought me a gift certificate for a level one foot massage, which was really nice since my feet had been hurting a lot and I never pamper myself. Before my scheduled appointment, I received a voicemail from the spa that was slightly intelliglble, offering me a pedicure if I wanted to upgrade from a foot massage. I never called the person back as I was only interested in the service I had booked. When I arrived the receptionist informed me that I was in luck because the pedicurist had stayed late and I would get a pedicure at a $65 value for no additional charge! That was fine with me, as I assumed I would be getting the service I had reserved and expected. I went into the waiting room, and the ambience of the spa was really nice and relaxing. When I went into the pedicure room, I had a foot soak, then very passive foot rub, no cuticle care, minor nail trimming and she painted my nails. The massage portion involved her softly rubbing some lotion on my feet for a couple minutes. I have had other $20 pedicures that were much more thorough and left my feet feeling much smoother and well cared-for. I had prominent calluses on my heels after the treatment, the black dye from my flip flops hadn't even been rubbed off, which is easy to do in the shower in a couple minutes. She was done in 20 minutes after the 10 minute soak... and I was basically out the door. I am really surprised that they could reasonably charge $60 for this service. I left her a $10 tip, as is customary in these places, but definitely felt slighted. I was especially disappointed because I thought I was getting a 15-minute foot massage. I will not be recommending this spa to anyone and will not be returning... parking was also a disaster.

• Pros: Nice atmosphere in the waiting room.
• Cons: The entire service I had was awful and expensive.

This is certainly disappointing to us that communications were not clear and that your service was less than satisfactory. I understand that you have stated that you would not be back and for that we are sad. I still would like to extend the offer of a foot therapy service, which is what you were seeking originally. We would like the opportunity to learn from this experience and ask that you call me, the Owner and share your experience in detail. We truly are a team of individuals who really care about giving the best experience to our customers, so we hope you will give us a chance to show you this. Thank you for your feedback.

Great place. Honest.

by divinelady

Wow, I bought my mom a body scrub and a massage for her birthday and she totally enjoyed it. She said she has never felt so great after leaving the spa. Her massage therapist was a male but she managed to be comfortable because she said he was super nice and polite and he had amazing hands and pressure! I forget his name, but she said he was a pro! She also enjoyed her body scrub she found it to be very relaxing also. Overall, she said the place was beautiful and the service was very attentive. Thank you for giving my mom a fabulous spa experience! You guys are sooo...not over rated! Thank you for living up to my expectations! I will be coming in with my sister and my mom in a few weeks. Your guys are worth every penny! Thanks again!

• Pros: Great serivce!

great location right near the water! great spa feel and an amazing massage therapist

by katzfish1

I went to the Spa yesterday for a massage. Within minutes of walking through the doors my mind felt more at ease. The people there were so nice and caring. The spa was spotless and the rooms were big and well lit. My massage was divine! It felt like Molly new every spot that needed work (kneeded work?). She was excellent. I would recommend going there for anyone who wants a no bs high quality massage in a great location. The Portland Spa and Boutique couldn't have done it better. Thanx!!

• Pros: Great Massage. Great Relaxation Vibe. Great Staff
• Cons: Wish it were next door to my house!

Best Treatment!

by danielsdarlin

I recently got a microdermabrasion treatment and loved it! My skin felt so smooth. They even give you a mini facial afterwards. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and most importantly not PRETENTIOUS!! I am recomending this spa to all my friends.

• Pros: Ambiance, awesome staff, and excellent treatment.
• Cons: I wish I could have stayed all day!

i heart this place!

by curlybean

I had my first facial at Portland Spa and was pleasantly surprised to find how relaxing and rejuvenating the experience was. Adriana was personable, calming and professional. I felt so relaxed that I had a hard time not falling asleep! Adriana showed me a simple daily skin care routine and 11 months later I've had maybe 1 break out! Very impressed.

I also had a pedicure done by Ashley, who also takes great pride in her skill. She was charming and reassuring. She even expressed concern on where I wanted more focus in my pedicure. I felt very comfortable. My nails looked perfect and natural and the polish lasted over a month! Highly recommended.

I also had a waxing done by Erin, who, again was very personable, relaxed and proficient. The waxing was quick, clean and painless.

The entire staff is professional, friendly and personable and eager to make your visit the best. I wish I could hang out at Portland Spa and boutique all day every day.

I cant wait for my massage!

• Pros: comfortable, tranquil, qualified, sophisticated
• Cons: eventually had to leave

Our massage therapists work hard to give the best massage targeting the areas you need focused on. It's wonderful to hear that you had great results, but even better that we get to see you again! Thank you!
