value
78.5699987411499% positive
  1. The price was reasonable and it was clean and very calming.
  2. There aren't enough "extras" to justify the prices, but I had a good experience and Jessica was extremely helpful w/home care w/o pushing their product lines too much; will try to save for another by the end of the summer.
  3. tried the Classic French facial, which is a little expensive but worth it.
  4. think the services are an excellent value.
  5. The facial i got wasn't that great, the receptionist was rude, and a $42 lotion was pushed on me w/ out a price.
  6. do not have a lot of money so I generally avoid the spa experience, however, I received an email from Dolce Vita Day Spa offering an incredible special to clients that, I assume have not been in a while, as it has been a while since I have been there.
  7. Still for proximity and price I would have to recommend the massage and they tend to have more openings for last minute massage.
wait time

  1. The front desk made sure to book me with a very knowledgeable massage therapist who had a background in sports medicine, and after 75 minutes I knew that it wouldn't be the last I spent there.
  2. Still for proximity and price I would have to recommend the massage and they tend to have more openings for last minute massage.

Wonderfully relaxing experience.

by JamesLL

Dolce Vita Day Spa is a tranquil environment where you are always welcomed with a smile. They offer water, wine or a glass of champagne before your treatments. My wife and I both enjoy coming here once a month; it’s a relaxing date and gives us something to look forward to on a regular basis. Getting a massage every month has improved my sleep and tension headaches. It also keeps my muscles and joints loose to help prevent injuries. I’ve been seeing my therapist, Naomi, for the past year and she is always very accommodating, listens to my needs and is always concerned about my well being. I’ve even gotten last minute appointments from her for sudden aches and pains that pop up and need immediate attention.

Great Massage

by AmyKH

I usually like to get a deep tissue massage. Often it is a painful experience. While I might feel like I was sufficiently "worked on" I do not necessarily feel relaxed. This massage was excellent. I thought the massage therapist applied the perfect amount of pressure. It had exactly the result I wanted.

The BEST spa experience you will ever have!

by kimchopra

The entire experience was AMAZING from the time I walked in the door. I was warmly welcomed from the sweet and friendly spa director, Sarah and enjoyed complimentary champagne as I waited for my appointment time. The ambiance was relaxing and charming and the spa room was quaint with soothing music in the background. My massage therapist remembered me from my previous visit and applied the perfect pressure and checked throughout the massage to ensure the pressure was appropriate. This is the only spa that I have ever truly enjoyed and will be the only place I return to. I cannot wait to go back and have recommended to my friends and family. Thank you to all the staff at Dolce Vita!

WORD! Come check this Gem out!!!

by lissamy

I just fell in LOVE with this spa, it is a true Gem, they give u complimentary mimosa's and they are unlimited...But more IMPORTANT is Miss Fox, she gave me the best massage I have EVER had!!! She knew exactly where my problem area's were and she had good firm pressure. She also threw in some stretches which was most needed since I work out 3 days a week. I will definitely be back for Miss Fox!!!! Ask for her and trust me you will not be disappointed!!!! The front desk is very personable!!!!

Highly Recommended!!!

by hyderevelation

I went there for the first time today, and I have to say, without a doubt, that this is the best spa I've ever been to! I can't recommend this place enough. I've been to quite a few spas around the Galleria area and River Oaks over the years and my skin has never felt as good as this.
