I decided to treat myself to a thapeutic massage. I checked other spas and hotels in the area. I asked the front desk person for a tour after reviewing other comments on this site just to make sure what I can expect. I was pleasantly surprised the facilities and amenities available. I am from out of town and wanted to... More

Lack of attention to service and a lot of attitude make this a big disappointment More

This is a lovely spa in a somewhat unassuming hotel. The hotel is nothing special from the outside (have never stayed here so not sure about the rooms) but I have used the spa services a few times and have been pleased each time. Good staff, nice atmosphere, I have had massages, manicures, pedicures here and been pleased with all... More

I went with friends for a massage and pedicure. Massage was OK . However, I learned too late that none of the 3 massages were performed by RMTs so nothing could be claimed on my health plan. Admittedly, I should have asked first. The change rooms and waiting rooms were very worn. The floor in the change room was covered... More

I love this spa. When I went I was led to private change room, they give u a rob and sandals and a locker for your belongings. You are next guided into the relaxation lounge where they have tea and coffee and lemon water and cranberry juice. Also they have cold cucumber slices for my eyes so I could lye... More

I made an appointment at the spa for myself for a microdermabrasion treatment and for my nephew for a massage. I booked the day off work and was so looking forward to a much needed break. I was immediately disappointed when we were led into the dingy basement for the grand tour. The change room and locker area are outdated... More

I wanted to treat my sister-in-law and girlfriend to a relaxing day at the spa. My friend recommended Absolute Spa at the Century Plaza Hotel because she had heard good reviews and that many celebrities are spotted at this spa. I had been to another Absolute Spa location (Hotel Vancouver) and the experience was wonderful... so I took my friend's... More

I wanted to surprise my g/f w/ a couple's massage and let's just say, it's the wost massage of both our lives. I even filed a complaint to the store manager and the president of the company, and it was pretty sad in what their response was...if you want to read the actual emails fired back and forth, please visit...

I treated myself to a birthday massage at the Absolute Spa at the Century. The prices are higher than at other Vancouver spas, but I thought it was worth it because of the extras the Century promised, like an oxygenated pool and a eucalyptus steam room. My plan was to get there an hour in advance, use those two facilities,... More
