Exhale

Fabulous experience at the spa with quite possibly the best massage ever received. I’m only sorry to know that the hotel is closing on September 1^st. This was a first class experience with professional staff who made the experience worthy of the money spent on the services. Also the dining at Amada was first class with amazing tapas. Again only sorry that this place is closing because it was a glimmer of light in this seedy town.

Amazing spa! I’ve never gotten a massage before, but loved my experience with Katrina, who guided me through the whole process. My only regret is that we did this the day of checkout, so we had to leave the spa to go pack up. We sadly missed out on the salt room and saunas. Learn from our mistake and book your massage for after check in so you can enjoy everything until 9PM!

My husband and I had an amazing experience here! We went for a couples massage to celebrate our anniversary. I am a relative spa newbie, and he has never been to a spa or had a massage before, and I’m afraid now we’re spoiled! It wasn’t clear how to book a couples massage online, so I booked over the phone about a month in advance. We went with the signature «Flow» massage.
Upon arrival, I took care of the bill and tip with the credit card they had on file for me, so I didn’t even have to worry about payment or bringing my card with me. We were told to bring IDs, but they were never checked. They also suggested we arrive 20 – 30 minutes early, but I now realize we could have gotten there much earlier and enjoyed some of the amenities before our massages.
We split up to be taken to our respective locker rooms. Each of us received a tour, and it sounds like they mentioned different amenities to each of us, when we compared notes later. The place is huge and a bit maze-​like, but even with my horrible sense of direction I was able to find my way around. We met up again in the co-​ed lounge. The room was relaxing, and there was hardly anyone else there on a weekday morning, but I was maybe slightly disappointed in the offerings there: green tea, water with fruit in it, and like three kinds of whole apples (no bite-​sized snacks). There were two worn-​out magazines, and a TV that played an ad for Exhale on a loop.
Katrina and Kate came to retrieve us and bring us back to the room. After discussing the massage, aromatherapy options, and any trouble areas with each of us individually, they left for us to take off our plush robes and get into the heated beds. The beds were kind of awesome, as different areas adjusted for different parts of the massage.
After this point, the room was dark and my eyes were closed, so I don’t know if we each got the exact same treatment, but I can confirm that Kate was awesome, and Katrina also seemed to do a great job on my husband. I could tell because he periodically stopped chattering and just relaxed: o) There are intentionally no clocks around, so I don’t know exactly how long the treatment was, but it was long enough, and when I did get to a clock later, I was surprised to see it was later than I’d expected. The treatment started with a face and scalp massage, followed by a heated face mask; went on to neck, shoulders, and arms; then legs; then I rolled over and she massaged and stretched my legs and feet before wrapping my feet in heated towels; and then of course my back.
They gave us a few minutes to get ourselves together before walking us back to the lounge and making sure we got a drink of water. Then we showered off in the well-​stocked locker rooms, before meeting up at the co-​ed mineral pool area. We tried the salt room, which might have been relaxing to sit in if we had a book or something to read. Then we hopped into the pool and hot tub, which was nice because again, there was really nobody else around, and the room is beautiful. You actually have access to the facilities to come and go as much as you like all day, but we ended up not being able to make it back in the evening.
Overall, it was a fabulous experience. My husband went from being vehemently anti-​massage (the spa was actually a surprise for him), to saying that if I ever wanted another couples massage, he wouldn’t say no: o)

Be sure to check in ahead of time to enjoy the facilities. It is so spacious! Jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, relaxation room, and a co-​Ed jacuzzi, mineral pool, and salt room. We spent over 2 hours jumping around these places before our sessions.
The men’s facial was thorough with post session advice. My husband loved it and his face was sparkling! The glowing scrub was a little gimmicky, but it also came with a gentle all body massage.
I left utterly relaxed.

The spa itself is nothing short of AMAZING and is over 5 stars. It is beautiful from the dressing rooms to the waiting rooms to the actual spa and so clean. Went during a week in January, and it was pretty busy, but like most of Revel so big to look crowded. Really felt special though!
The massage included an all day access pass to the spa. I wish I knew this before and I would’ve came prepared with a bathing suit and more time and stayed all day! Before the massage, I was greeted by a friendly staff. Then showed where to change into a robe and sandals, and got a locker for my belongings. Waiting room included magazines, a TV, fruit, water, and coffee. Even had fresh flavored waters!
I visited the cool breathing room (so nicely decorated with stone tiles), the sauna, and steam room before/​after the massage. There are unisex jacuzzis and pools that don’t require clothes, and then a bigger jacuzzi and pool that does, but I decided not to do either. Would definitely come prepared for that next time.
The massage was unfortunately why I gave this 4 stars. I love intense massages, but this one was too weak for me and the masseuse’s hands were honestly so rough and cut up that it felt like sandpaper. The oils and room was relaxing though. The experience was still nothing short of amazing, but just a bit disappointing that the massage wasn’t that great for the high price.

Went there to use the amenities, which were great. I’m giving one star for the lack of staff attentiveness also the makeup session I requested was not professional at all. It was $ 128, very expensive and The lady that was doing my makeup is not a makeup artist, I found out she does pedicures at the spa, she’s not even an outside vendor. the makeup and brushes she was using were cheap, smelly, dirty and old. She kept asking me if I have have certain makeup she can use which is perplexing, shouldn’t she have the makeup she needs if she is a professional makeup artist? She was a sweet lady but The makeup experience was not pleasant because she really did not know how to apply makeup, not worth the $ 128, I don’t want to give any stars but with Unilocal I have no choice. The manager was kind enough to give me a refund but honestly he could of offered more given the fact that I wasted 2 hours of time. I later headed straight to room and washed my face. It was a total waste of time, never again.

After reading mixed reviews we decided to try out this spa for ourselves. I was pleasantly surprised how wonderful everything was. I was greeted by very friendly front desk staff. At the time of check in I received a full tour of all the facilities as did my husband. The staff was fully attentive and super nice.
I received an amazing massage from Kate Middleworth. After my massage I was told to drink lots of water, but they have cucumber water, and I’m allergic to cucumbers. The girl taking care of the locker rooms got me regular water, and brought me a new water whenever she saw me. We really enjoyed hanging out in the coed spa area. Most spas have separate areas and you don’t see your spouse durning your time at the spa.
So all in all try them out for yourself. I hope you won’t be disappointed.

Deep Tissue with Kathleen was amazing. She dissolved all of my knots. (Be impressed).
Receptionists were nice enough and polite but they didn’t seem like they wanted to be there (xept the guy at the front).

Lori is a magician with her hands! I’m a hairdresser and suffer from constant upper back pain, Lori completely loosened me up I felt super relaxed… Totally worth every penny!

Went there twice in my visit. It had every amenity you can ask for to include 2 saunas both dry and steam., a men’s, women’s and co-​ed section.
I actually got lost in the place
The deep tissue massages were average and probably not worth the money but I’m a guy who needs a real deep tissue massage and not a girly massage.
Maybe I just had the 2 girls who were not strong enough.

3.5 Stars. Exhale at Revel is a great spa experience. The service and attentiveness of staff leaves a bit to be desired, but overall a great facility.
The BF and I stayed at Revel during a 3-​day weekend and I surprised him with a Couples Deep Tissue Massage.
The facilities are very spacious and nice. There are single-​sex saunas, steam rooms and hot tubs. There is a co-​head salt room (it’s still unclear to me its purpose) and also a hot tub and a luke-​warm pool with jets throughout. The massage rooms are dimly lit, with automatic beds. The locker rooms are like most other exhale facilities, spacious and well stocked.
Our massages were very good. My masseur (don’t recall her name) was friendly, asked questions, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the massage. She concentrated on my tigher areas and I had some soreness the next day. Exactly what I wanted. The BF, who is more used to sports massages, was also very impressed by his experience.
The price is a bit steep at $ 425 (inclusive of gratuity), but the all-​day access to the spa facilities makes up for it (a little).
My main gripe is the lack of staff attentiveness. There were a few times when it was unclear where or what I should be going or doing next. We weren’t given a true tour of the facilities. It would have been awesome if staff was generally available in the bathhouse area. There appeared to be some type of bar area, but it was not staffed even though the facilities were fairly packed with patrons.
Also, we were a little late with check-​in and meandering unsupervised in the facility, so our massages ended up being about 45 minutes, instead of 60 (I checked the time). It would have been nice to have known that they intended to shorten the massage time.

I love going to the spa and getting pampered… I think everybody likes to get pampered! The place is really pretty… I like the envorment… the staff was very friendly… this spa has two sides… men’s on the right and women on the left… they show me around the area on where everything is… at the end of the tour they gave me a locker to put me stuff. Inside the locker there is a comfy white robe… The spa offer a day walk in pass which is fifty five dollars… Hot tube… Pool… salt room… sauna…and steam room… I got an hour facial which Iv been dying to do… from all the stress Iv been having… The facially was good its deff not the best facially but it was great to get one at least once a month… the hot tube was always packed… I don’t even know why this place offer only one… The salt room is just weird I don’t see the point of that… they offer you complimentary foods such as water. apple…and grapes… there’s a lounge area where after you finish with the activities you get to sit and relax on the couch… This place is open around nine am– nine pm… I would actually give this place four stars but after coming back from a horrible dinner and half of the stuff not working it made the end of this spa experience going down hill… Will I come back… NO!

I am a super spa junkie… I get massages regularly, and I get massages whenever I travel. I’ve had massages from Mandarin Oriental ($ 250+) to Massage Envy ($ 45) so I think my review of 2 star is pretty honest and accurate for the price this place charges. I booked a Fusion couples massage, 60 mins.
We checked in the guest counter and then my husband and I split up. I was told to go over to the women’s waiting area, where there was NO ONE to greet me at the counter. When someone finally showed up, she rudely asked me «What shoes sizes are you» and told me to follow her. No greeting, no hello, welcome, how are you? She did ask me if I’ve ever been here before and I said no. She rushed to show me how the electronic lockers worked and then left. SHE DID NOT GIVE ME A TOUR OF THE FACILITIES or tell me where to wait to be picked up for my massage. My husband and other people got a tour of the facilities, but I was left to wander.
The co-​ed bath house is nice, and the only reason I give it 2 stars. The lounge area offered only cucumber infused water, tea, and apples. No nuts or a bigger selection of snacks compared to similar priced spas I’ve been to. The lounge area had barely any reading materials. Amenities were very lacking as well for a $ 155 per person massage. No shower caps?!! No cotton balls? No razor blades? Maybe I’ve been really spoiled, and even if I don’t need a shower cap, how much would it cost to offer it? When it was time for my massage, I was in the sauna room and my masseuse screamed my name really loud from OUTSIDE the lounge area. If I was another guest relaxing, I would have been super annoyed if every time a guest was due for their appointment, I’d be hearing name screaming.
This is the killer: my masseuse Latoya Jones had finger nails that dug into me! Omg, Isn’t that the cardinal rule of a masseuse to file down their nails? I couldn’t believe I was being pinched and scratched… and the massage was so lacking I had to ask her to use more pressure which barely helped. I felt like I was just being rubbed with lotion but at this point I gave up because this whole place has been such a disappointment. So 18% gratituty for poor service and being scratched up. The massage itself was very dissapointing… the technique compared to a massage at Massage Envy. The red door spa at Harrah’s has amazing signature massages, despite much smaller lounge area.
I do have to say, my hubby thoroughly enjoyed his massage by Tyesha German, but then again, he’s a massage newbie and he was so sore from running, he was desperate for a massage.
I had a horrible experience for total $ 387.50 spent, so 2 stars is very generous.

The total ambiance was magnificent. I’m a big spa junkie and this was one of the best spas worldwide.
Checkin was a bit disappointing but it was also Christmas day. I was irritated that my Amex gift cards were not accepted by their database.
Nevertheless, Katrina was INCREDIBLE. I had a flow massage done which was medium pressure and Katrina nailed it. I felt rejuvenated and reborn when it was all over. After an incredible 60 minutes we then proceeded to the fabulous amenities including the pool, the jacuzzi, sauna etc. You can pop in and out all day until 9pm so take advantage.
I would HIGHLY recommend Katrina, I cannot wait until my next visit to see her!

Great service, large open and gender neutral. There’s a co-​ed waiting room in case you’re there for a couples day at the spa, and the locker rooms are very comfortable and well laid out. The inner maze can be a little bit confusing, but the ever present staff is always available to show you to the room you’re looking for.

Bask Spa was one of the more difficult places to review.
I gave it five stars, mostly because the massage I received from Karen Logan-​Graham was really amazing.
I got a gift certificate for my birthday for Bask. I got it last year. I was very confused by the Bask registration system, which needed a credit card. The products and pricing were equally confusing to me. I had to navigate way too many pages to piece together what my options were and how much they cost.
There was a special on the Flow massage. It had a coupon code. However, the registration system asked me for my credit card so I could reserve things but there was no mention or hint about how the gift certificate would be applied, if it could be, when it expired, how to get the coupon code in. There was no real true intuitive online shopping cart. If not for the belief that my certificate would expire after a year (the certificate did not list an expiration date and was blank in that space), I would not have ever booked a massage at Bask, even though I had a credit, because the process of booking led to more questions then the website could answer.
I called during a week I would be close by for a meeting. They booked the room for me. When I got there, they were pleasant, applied my discount without me having to remind them, and used the certificate to offset the price of the Flow massage which was on sale. Ironically, if the web-​product was as on point as the front desk was, I can assure you that more people would probably book massages.
I subsequently received a tour of the space, which consisted of several lounges, a shower area, a locker room, and several hot tub options. There was also a lounge chair seating area near the hot tubs. Strawberries, blueberries, apples and oranges were complementary along with lemon water. I received flip flops and a towel. You must bring your bathing suit. There is a cool bathing suit water extractor in the locker room which is very useful. The facilities were smaller than many other spas I have seen (the place is beautiful and huge, but most of the place seems to be massage rooms).
My massage with Karen was great. It started out with her introducing herself, letting me smell oils, and her discussing the massage. Then she discussed the fact that I could tell her if I didn’t like anything. Initially, I was sitting on the table and stressed and I was not into my massage. As the massage went on, it got better and better and eventually I was able to relax. The room was dimly lit, there was music. There was some stretching and lots of other stuff like heated towels and face masks, which were changed as heat wore off. There was emphasis on each part of my body, including the feet. At each point one aspect of the massage ended, I thought the massage was over and it continued. Karen really put in an honest amount of work and did an amazing job. The irony is, she was picked for me, and after the massage, I felt as if I had been really lucky to get her. She gave one of the best massages I have ever had. It was not to hard or too soft. She was responsive and was a true professional. I would recommend her without hesitation.
If you are using spa services, I would say arrive two hours early to enjoy the facilities and budget time afterwards as well. The day I went was pretty empty, but I am told it gets crowded. There is a Himalayan salt room. They explained what everything was on my tour. My tour guide Taj was entertaining, honest and pretty encyclopedic. The lounges are nice but the screens full of massage type images were vanilla.
If I had to give Bask a hard core rating, it would get an honest four. However, the staff was exceptional and despite all of the kinks in the online system, the fact that the magazines were limited (at least there were decent magazines), that the lounge chairs don’t encourage napping, and that I went into the experience with a frustration for having received a gift that was extremely difficult to use, I had no choice but write this run on sentence and give the last star back. Karen was great.

LOVE the Exhale Core Fusion Barre workout class!
Day spa facilities are on the smaller side. At least it makes it easy not to get lost! Good to come as a couple as most areas are for both guys/​girls. Loved the steam room and salt grotto. Relaxation rooms are unisex and co-​ed as well, with great teas and apples. Showers are awesome.
Very relaxing day if you come early on a weekday you might luck out and get a lot of the space to yourself!

I looooved this place. Burke Williams in LA is my all time favorite spa, The Pearl in Fulton MD is my second favorite, NuStaa in DC was my third. So I’m changing my line up & making Exhale #2, bumping the Pearl down to #3, lol! Before my salt scrub and massage, I spent around two hours here, chilling with the hubs. We spent time in the whirlpool, the mineral pool, and my absolute favorite: the Himalayan salt room. I don’t know if it’s true that the salt helps relieve sinus and allergy issues, it just felt good and relaxing to read my book in there. The service was great, my scrub & massage were superb, and the place was very quiet and peaceful. I wasn’t crazy about Atlantic City, but I will go back to stay at Revel just to lounge all day at Exhale.
Oh yeah – since we were there on a weekday, we paid half price for our services. We paid no more than $ 300 for the two of us. Super cheap for a half day at a spa like this one.

My opinion of this spa is mixed.
At first the facilities of this spa seem amazing. But on closer inspection the spa falls short—
–the chairs are uncomfortable and cheap
–there aren’t any comfy padded chaise lounges to wait for treatments
–the music blaring was terrible– not relaxing
–the spa was actually pretty filthy– the dust in the salt room was horrifying with thick billowy cobwebs all over the walls. And the women’s shower drains were all clogged with hair.
As for the treatments themselves–
I got a massage that I absolutely loved! Craig had magical hands and seemed to read my mind– working out all of my knots. My mom had a massage with another therapist and she really enjoyed hers too.
My facial fell short of my expectations, and my mom said hers was the worst facial she had ever experienced– on a scale of 1 to 10 she said a 1. Very clear that it was an inexperienced technician, she apparently kept turning the lights on and off and walking around the bed too many times, and showed up late for the appointment, and did not address the 2 areas that my mom had mentioned because she «forgot.» This technician’s name is Julissa.
Overall, I would definitely return but I hope that there is more consistency, and that they step up the cleanliness. The treatments were priced right–
midweek special– $ 105 for 50 min massage and $ 125 for facial.

This spa is absolutely amazing. First of all, for only $ 70 you get a full day pass into the grotto area, the saunas, the In/​Out pool, the Himalayan Salt Room and an exercise class. We didn’t see any private rooms while we were there but the open grotto, sauna and In/​Out pool were so gorgeous.
This would make a great deal for someone with asthma or lung problems. The Himalayan Salt Room and Banya sauna are designed specifically to help with respiration. And with such a great price it would make a great Christmas present! Plus, Revel has a ton of room deals right now.
