Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

One of the best spa experiences I’ve ever had. We had a couples massage and from the moment we walked in the service was amazing. The therapists really listened and delivered a massage tailored to us individually. The spa is well presented and the products used were Devine

While I was trying to decide which massage to have, LM Spa advertised a Blissful Package. It certainly was! I arrived stressed by work and left balanced and reminded just how beneficial having me time can be. Thank you Giulia for a sublime afternoon! Loved your efforts and wishing I lived nearby so I could do it all again.

Best massage ever from Angela and I’ve had many massages. The other three people agreed that their massage was one of the best if not the best they had ever experienced. Found the entire staff helpful and accommodating.

Therapist was lovely and performed a very relaxing and nurturing experience.
Unfortunately the Spa itself is VERY tired/ outdated / run down; on par with something you'd find in Bangkok or similar walking off the street services. It was sooo surprising to see just a dark and uninviting space in such a stunning location as Palm Cove/Alamanda. As soon as I walked into reception I was in shock.
After the treatment we were taken up to a private rooftop pool for a cup of tea and a relax. You would think this would be a lovely complimentary addition however the space was so grim and run down we sipped out tea and left after 5 mins even though we were given 1 hour in the space. The pool had loose wires floating in it from a dislodged/lost old light bulb or similar, if was just off.
We can't believe we paid in excess of $200 each for our treatments with the spa in such a state. I would highly recommend looking else where is you're after 5 star service because that's not what you get here.

I had a great experience at Alamanda Spa.
The package I booked included body exfoliation, an outdoor shower facing the ocean, massage and facial.
The beautician Emily was very professional and had great attention to detail. The products they use, Eminence, are organic and I enjoyed every scent and texture.
The experience ends with a nice tea while enjoying the view on the rooftop terrace.
Keep up with the good work!

Now this day spa is the benchmark by which all other day spas in Palm Cove should model themselves.
After a most unpleasant experience at another equally priced but sub par quality spa down the road, I was rewarded with a sublime experience with the lovely and talented Aleesha. I rarely ever fall asleep during a massage but under her magic hands I lost count how many times I dozed off. I’ve never felt as relaxed for so long after a massage which was administered exactly how I asked for it to be.
When you’ve had as many massages as I have you get to understand that some therapists treat their work like a job while others are truly passionate about making their customers feel amazing. Aleesha definitely falls into the rare second category.
The icing on the cake was being taken to a peaceful and relaxing area which looks out to sea to drink my tea after the massage.
I can’t compliment the service and attentiveness I received from Aleesha enough! Hang on to this one Alamanda! I’ll definitely be back.

I was gifted a 90 minute Glow package and it was the most relaxing and wonderful experience 🙏 the body polish scrub made my skin so smooth and smelt amazing and my masseuse was incredible, I had so much built up tension and left feeling so relaxed and relieved of any pain or discomfort. The spa itself is beautiful, I loved the outdoor shower looking out to the ocean . I went solo and highly recommend to anyone who needs real time out or as a gift to someone special, they’ll love you for it ❤️

Lovely spacious appartments right on the beac however the attention to detail was pretty bad and let the whole resort down which is a shame. The bedrooms smelt musty and aircon unit in main bedroom was just a gaping hole blasting out air at us all night - and you need aircon at night! Kitchen was dated and needed a refurb. The staff we're nice and tried to be helpful but again forgot stuff a lot so we had to chase up pretty much everything the whole holiday. The room service was poor! Unless you wanted a chicken burger and crisps you had few more options that were available. The rest were unavailable. Ours was not a 5 star experience unfortunately, nowhere near. It's a shame as the bones for it to be nice are there!

Loved our massages yesterday at Alamanda, a perfect way to end a holiday. The massage was amazing, however, theres a few things that need attention.
-the lady that did mine is obviously quite new and although a good massage, needs to practice how to speak to people
-we booked the pavilion upstairs (highly recommend post!) however, urgent repairs required. I ended up with a massive cut through my foot from the wooden floorboards, fence pails are falling off and there was significant algae build up when you look over the pool.
The complimentary champagne for my 30th birthday was a really nice touch

My three hour spa package, glided smoothly and serenely through my spa treatments. My therapist was supremely professional and thoughtful, her expertise was evident with every stroke during my massage. I was so relaxed, I fell asleep several times. This was my 1st ever spa visit and I know it will become a regular gift to myself. Thank you.
