Lemon Tree Spa Suite 1

Maybe I had high expectations based on the reviews but I was underwhelmed by my 90-minute massage here this week, which is unfortunate because I work full-time and rarely get a day off that does not also include my toddler being home from school. I will say that everyone was nice and the spa seems clean. Linens were luxurious feeling and table itself seemed comfortable overall.

The first thing that surprised me is that I arrived early as requested, and my massage started at 10:15am and was over at 11:30am. That is really just a 75-minute massage, not a 90-minute massage IMO. I would have said something to the therapist, but the massage itself was underwhelming and I was not in the mood for a confrontation. Not unpleasant but also not really therapeutic and felt incomplete.

The best part was the $10 dry scrub add on. The massage work itself did not include any focus above the knee, meaning no quad or hamstring/IT band or glute work. Like she pressed on my butt cheeks through the sheets a few times, but that was the extent of it. I kept waiting for her to come back to those areas but it never happened, front or back. Session also did not include any focused hand, face or scalp massage.

Really struck me as strange as 90 minutes is certainly plenty of time for all of the above. I've had dozens and dozens of massages in my life, all over the globe, and never had these areas glossed over during a full body massage. The hand and arm massage received during my facial from the esthetician here was better than the attention I received from the massage therapist in these same areas.

I don't know if this was a communication issue or what, but it was kind of a bummer. Since this is more of a "what could have been better" review, I'll throw out a couple more ideas because the spa has potential. Some complimentary "serve yourself" spa water (lemon slices in carafe water since it's called Lemon Tree?) and fruit would be a nice addition in the future, but I get the potential precautions around Covid. Darkening the rooms more for massage treatments and offering a weighted eye pillow (particularly during aromatherapy add-ons) or a warm neck pillow under the head when client turns onto their back would also be nice therapeutic touches, but those are just some nitpicky suggestions that I'm not factoring into my rating here. The presence of some of those little details likely would have helped soften the disappointment of the treatment length and focus.

Love this spa! The facials and massages I've received here have been perfect. I live about 30 mins away but it's totally worth the drive.

Great, relaxing location. Clean facility and great masseuse! My husband and I are on vacation it was a very nice couple experience! Highly recommend!

Truly professional and inviting! The care that the staff took for the smallest of details made it delightful! I've done massages around the world at some pretty upscale spa locations and this one was equal to them all! Badrutt's palace, four seasons Serengeti, ngorogoro, Norway, Sweden, Barcelona, and now lemon tree spa. Well worth the trip and the money

I'd give them more stars if I could. Went in with 4 people all getting 90 minutes. Was so great. Afterwards we all could not get over how we all were in massage comas after. Will come back when in this area

Scheduled last minute appointments for my mom and I on our vacation and we were able to get our desired services and time with no problem! There were lots of service options, but I got a wonderful facial by Hannah. She was very knowledgeable and helpful when it came to my skin concerns. Great atmosphere and staff, would recommend to anyone visiting the area!

My mom and I had the Bliss Package. I had Jesse and my mom had Carissa both did an amazing job. Best massage we have had in years and just what we needed. Thank you so much. We will definitely go back when return to St. Pete's.

I was quoted over the phone $75 for a one hour full body. I asked for deep tissue and the menu stated that there was an up charge but did not indicate how much it would be. They offered me CBD oil for an up charge but again did not indicate how much. It was $30 for a tiny little tin. The massage ended up being $95 and my total with tip was 140 so nearly double what I was quoted. IMO poor business practices and bait and switch tactics.

The masseuse was very nice and did a great job but I will definitely be asking what the prices are before agreeing to anything here. I don't like feeling duped when I am in pain and need some healing while on vacation. I will not use them again if I am in the area again!

Lemon Tree Spa is Amazing! My wife and I visit the area quite a few times a year and we try to make it there for the couples massage as often as we can! So very relaxing and the staff is great as well! We will most definitely be back the next time! Until then, thanks again Lemon Tree Spa for always making our vacations that much more relaxing!

I scheduled a last minute massage while on vacation and everyone there was super accommodating and fit me into the schedule. The massage was super relaxing and the therapist (I can't recall her name) listened to all of my concerns and needs and customized the massage to me which was perfect. Would definitely recommend!

It's quite difficult to review The Lemon Grass Salon. I had made an appointment for my Wedding Anniversary, Tuesday 10/19/2021. I did call and request to change to Wednesday 10/20/2021, which they were able to do. Being diabetic is unpredictable. During our 30th wedding anniversary week, we had to deal with my DKA. Always a challenge. Me nor my husband put a thought to this appointment as my DKA became our focus. Had I understood when making the appointment, there would be $150 for zero services - would never have even made the appointment.

Upon our return (Yes, I was quite sick)- it made us both sooo happy to they promptly charged us $150.00. Glad they got their $$, I certainly wouldn't want them short changed

We just moved to Saint Pete and after spending a week unpacking boxes I thought I would treat myself to a day at the spa. I booked a one hour massage and a facial to follow. I chose Lemon Tree based on the reviews that I read on Yelp and they were spot on. My massage was done by Kelley who has the strongest hands. I was so grateful because I desperately needed a deep tissue massage which is exactly what I got.

My facial was done by Hannah and she is amazing. My skin has not been this clean, ever. I was absolutely glowing when I left today. I highly recommend these two awesome ladies and this wonderful spa!

My husband and I were on vacation celebrating our wedding anniversary. The spa at the resort we were staying at was closed so we opted for Lemon Tree, and they delivered! The staff was welcoming and professional. Unfortunately the couples room was booked for the day so we were in separate rooms. Frank was phenomenal! He focused on my knot filled back and even gave me tips on how to reduce such tightness. I was able to unwind, relax and recharge. The vibe was crisp, clean and calm. My husband said his massage by Carissa was okay. Overall we had a pleasant experience.

Amazing! I had a massage with Keondra and it was one of the best massages I have ever had. When you ask for deep tissue massage this is what it is supposed to feel like! Clean, friendly, wonderful service and well worth every penny spent. When visiting I will be sure to always book an appointment! Thank you!

While on vacation this week I was away from my shoulder PT and regular exercise regime that I'm already terrible at and sleeping in a hotel bed aggravated my neck and back so given my family might be doing other activities I booked a deep tissue with Frank F. He was hands-down (no pun intended) the most intuitive and informative masseuse! It was a fate that our paths crossed so I can start to heal myself! motivation comes from odd places. nice place and calming.

Went this morning and got an hour long massage and deep pore facial. Best 2 hours of my life! Meg was amazing and so talented! My husband also had a massage with Stefan and was very relaxed and happy! Thank you guys so much! I highly recommend booking at this spa.

This place has wonderful massages, and a nice vibe inside. Staff took extra safety precautions due to COVID, which I appreciated as well.

I've never written a review before, but the service was so good at the Lemon Tree Spa that I wanted to share about it. Debbie was my masseuse and she gave me the best massage I've ever had (and at 53 I've had a number of them). It was a very personalized experience and her use of hot towels and aromatherapy was perfect. She was very calming and peaceful yet gave a very therapeutic massage with just the right pressure. I can't recommend her services highly enough! I plan to schedule another appointment the next time I'm in St. Pete.

Incredible healing experience. Highly recommended. The BEST spa in all of Saint Petersburg. I've tried them all and this one has soul.

This was a wonderful experience! Kendra was perfect! I booked the Bliss package and it did not disappoint!

This place is great! My wife and I were on vacation in St. Pete Beach and we booked a 90 Min couples massage. The massage was absolutely awesome! They were extremely kind and accommodating. Highly recommended!

I treated my mother and I to massage treatments at Lemon Tree today. The staff was kind, welcoming and expertly completed their services. I selected the Bliss package, as did my Mother and they really packed in the services for the dollar. A peaceful, rejuvenating experience that I wish I could do again tomorrow

I had a facial and brow tint with Summer. She did a fantastic job, she asked me about my skin care routine, which is very basic. She also listened to my concerns about chemicals in products, I use a lot of natural cosmetics and oils, and stay away from synthetic fragrances. Summer is very knowledgeable and had great recommendations about holistic skin care.

The product line this spa uses is pretty clean, I ended buying a face cleanser. I was really impressed, I was expecting a tourist trap of the place, but Summer is the real deal, a great esthetician. She also did a great job on my brows. The spa itself was surprisingly quiet and relaxing, considering it's near a busy road. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but very cute inside. I would definitely recommend to a friend, and will come back. Thank you, Summer.

I try to make it here once a month for a good facial. I love booking with Summer because she's very gentle and detailed. I've had several kinds of facials here but so far I've been loving the Micro-current facial that helps tighten your muscles. I've noticed that each esthetician does things differently which I'm not a fan of but it's okay.

Mostly why I book Summer is because I like her style of doing things. The beds are heated and also very comfortable. I've also noticed sometimes my neck hurts from laying straight down so I request to have it a bit elevated which they are fine with. The prices are about even with most competitors in the area and I've learned not to go for the cheapest when it comes to skincare.
