I adore this place!!
by bettiegee at Citysearch
I have been going to Thousand Waves for about 5-6 years now. I used to go to a few other places on occasion, but now I am true to what I think is THE best place to relax and get a massage.

Never Again
by dimples002 at Citysearch
I was treated rudely the moment I walked in and thought maybe they were having a bad day so I went for my massage which was very very poor. My husband did a better job. When they asked how everything went on my way out I said I was not satisfied and the receptionist, well thats too bad, that will be $80 please. I will never go there again.
- Cons: Bad Service, No Parking, Non Caring

Nice Spa.. But don't go on a Saturday!
by jessicaleigh45 at Citysearch
I made the mistake of getting a massage on Saturday afternoon. The staff was great - very friendly and welcoming, but the other patrons were RUDE!! I was unable to use any of the amenities such as the whirlpool or the sauna because a few groups of 45-ish women were monopolizing the whole area. When it was time for my massage all I could hear was slamming lockers and people standing outside the door talking. I'll go back, but on a weeknight.

Check in an hour before your treatment to soak in the Jacuzzi or relax in the steam room or sauna. Afterward, spend as long as you like in the relaxation room. (The Jacuzzi and steam rooms are for pre-treatments only.)
Modest Concerns:
The changing room is not private, so head to one of the spacious restrooms if you prefer to change without the possibility of company. The use of swimsuits in whirlpools is optional.
