"I’ve gotten a massage from here twice and both were great experience. Really great massages. This last one, I told the person massaging me that my main concern was neck and shoulders and she reaaaalllyyyy worked my neck and shoulders, absolutely try it out. Thai massage is also just a bit different than regular massage bc it focuses on like flexibility so you’ll get stretched out a little bit too. All in all service is great, massage quality is great, and the inside is really homey."
"I’ve been here many times now. The place is very easy to find, just around the corner of the intersection. Free parking might not be that easy to find as it is near residential area, but pay parking is always available at a fair rate. I’ve done both Traditional Thai Massage and Thai Hot Oil Massage, and I did most of my sessions with Channy. She is very professional and would always ask for pressure and pain spot during massage. The price is fair in Vancouver. I would usually add a 15% tip on top of the price as I’m very happy with my massage here. The experience is also quite similar to what I had in Thailand during Christmas, so I would definitely recommend anyone who wants a Thai massage experience or just general massage to go to this spot!"
""I’ve always received excellent, professional service from my previous therapist, which is why I regularly book with her. Unfortunately, after trying a different therapist recently, I was very disappointed. She didn’t ask about my concerns and focused on the wrong areas. I felt so uncomfortable I had to ask for my previous therapist. This was really unprofessional and not what I expected.""
"Massage by GiGi was great as she knows the best pressure points and isn’t afraid of putting pressure! Body scrub could’ve used warmer oil/water as it was a little cold in there"
"Phenomenal thai massage by Mia!! Always inquiring to make sure that pressure was to liking. She was always able to identify the spots that needed the most work. New techniques that I have never experienced!"
"This spa is amazingly good. Convenient location with clean, large rooms. They practice traditional Thai massage and Channy is great at making you feel relaxed and rejuvenated."
"I've been. going here for about a year, with great massages and experienced practitioners. The last two times the massage practitioners have been very young, and this last time obviously pretty inexperienced. The time before last, the practitioner tried to upsell me a head massage, and neither time was the massage practitioner I requested when I booked actually the one I got. Something has happened here, I won't be back."
"I had an excellent 90min Thai massage from Sugar today. First the place is very higyenic, clean with the right setting and mood. I settled in heated briefs with a towel and I almost fell asleep as I was so confortable. I told Sugar I had a stiff shoulders and neck and walked a lot this week, so she really worked those areas. I left feeling relaxed and clearly better. I recommend!"
"I recently visited Urban Retreat for a therapeutic massage with a head massage add-on. While the overall experience was okay, it fell short of my expectations. The therapist was professional, but unfortunately, I didn’t receive the head massage I had paid for, which was quite disappointing. I appreciate the clean and relaxing environment, but I’d suggest better communication to ensure clients receive the services they’ve requested."
"Serena was amazing. She listened carefully to my issue's. Her care, professionalism and concern for my individual needs was obvious. The ambiance, treatment and follow up was second to none. I will be seeing Serena on a regular basis. I highly recommend her. UPDATE: I have been to see Serena again and the experience only gets better. She builds on what she did previously and remembers where she needs to take it the next time. Very well qualified and knowledgeable."
"I always have excellent massages here at Urban retreat. The atmosphere is very quiet and exactly what I like, calming. Everyone is also very kind! I normally see Tara whenever I book an appointment! Tara is an amazing massage therapist and I was look forward to visiting."
"Had a 45-min massage session with Claire today which is the best massage therapy I’ve ever had. Claire is very communicative to understand my needs, checking on how I am feeling during the session. My lower back pain feels better after the massage. Will definitely go again."
"I had an incredible experience with the 1 Hour Massage + Cupping session at Urban Retreat Massage Therapy with Alorah Goodfellow. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was calming and welcoming. Alorah was not only professional and knowledgeable, but she also took the time to understand my specific needs and areas of tension. The massage was the perfect balance of relaxation and deep tissue work, and the cupping added an amazing layer of release that I hadn’t experienced before. I left feeling lighter, looser, and completely rejuvenated. Alorah has a true gift, and her intuitive approach made all the difference. Highly recommend this treatment and especially Alorah if you're looking for healing, stress relief, or just an hour to completely unwind. I’ll definitely be coming back!"
"Sarah is very knowledgeable in both massage and anatomy and was able to target my problem areas and provide relief to my ongoing pain. Highly recommend her!"
"Had a 45 mins therapeutic with head massage with Tara. It was the most relaxing massage ever. She had different techniques to engage and relax my mind and body and I left feeling so much lighter. The ambience of the place is also very calming with mind relaxing music in the background. I love that they have heated blankets as my feet usually gets cold during massage. Would definitely recommend this place and will come back!"
"One of the best in the city. I have tried different places in HRM and by far Urban Retreat was one of a kind experience. Very welcoming and friendly front desk staff. Clean and no hygiene concerns. Amanda is something else! An expert by definition, quite, respectful and is definitely recommended. Time & money well spent and well deserved 5 stars rating."
