Tree of Life Day Spa

Tree of Life Day Spa is a small, clean, well-​kept, orderly retreat. I attended with my wife for a couples massage.
I was assigned to Tabitha as my masseuse. Tabitha was quiet and did not have a lot to say. My only instructions were to apply a lot of pressure in the massage and she delivered. It was only a 60 minute massage but she really covered all of the bases. The massage was well thought through and coordinated and one of the best ones I’ve ever received.
I came out of The Tree of Life completely relaxed with my back feeling ready to take on the world! I highly recommend this as a place to take a quick break and reset your mind for a great time in Bar Harbor.

Great couples massage!

My girlfriend, Jess, and I went in for the couple’s massage that was performed by John and Heidi, who were very friendly and pleasant. We got to the spa early and they let us hang out and enjoy the tea which was in the waiting room, which was quaint and comfortable. When we got there we requested hot stones and, we had not previously requested them and they apologized for not having them prepared. Jess and I explained that we were not worried about it and that we were really glad that they were able to even get us an appointment because most of the other places in the area were booked. Heidi joked that we were «lucky, because this was the best place in the area.» While she said it in jest, I can’t imagine a better experience.
The massage experience was very comfortable and incredibly relaxing. The two masseurs were very professional and very skilled. We had a short amount of time this weekend as we got up Friday and left on Sunday, and we were really hoping that this was going to be a special experience and it was.
Thanks and appreciation to John and Heidi for giving us such a special experience.

My mother and I visited the Tree of Life Day Spa in May of 2008. First, the service that we had — a Hot Stone massage for me, and a facial for her, were good. However, I wouldn’t really consider this business a day spa in the sense of being able to hang out and relax and enjoy the facilities as well as your service. I think the owners (who are also the service providers) must live near by, as I believe they only open the shop when they have appointments booked. The visit was okay, but not what I was expecting.

Worst spa experience that my boyfriend and I have had. Ive been to spas in NYC, where I live, and on vacations. Never had to write a review like this, but just got off the phone with the owner who was very rude and wanted to make sure people were informed before going here.
Heres why:
–the store was closed when we showed up so we had to wait 10 min
–our appointment was 15 min late to start on top of that
–they shorted us on by almost 30 minutes of our 90 min massage
–when I tried to explain my disappointment to the owner, they were really rude
–the massage was very bad and whats worse was that it was the owners who massaged us
–they rushed us immediately into the massage from the waiting room unlike other places that let you change and relax for a few minutes
At the end of the day, I really wish I went somewhere else because this was a disappointing experience on a really nice vacation. It cost my boyfriend and I for $ 500 between service and tip.
