The Spa at Hammock Beach

Everyone leaving their massage appointment didn’t walk out of the spa… they floated away! The hot stone massage was extremely relaxing and the staff was very friendly and professional. You’ll find yourself in a high state of relaxation that will have you drifting multiple times. Highly recommended!

Being the «spa bugs» that we are, we had high expectations and mom was excited to check out the Salamander brand, as a huge Sheila Johnson fan. She treated me to a Back to School spa day!
Service– 4
Jamie (my masseuse) was EXCELLENT and gets a 5!
My mom felt that she got shorted for time by her masseuse (she couldn’t remember her name). She says she was very nice, and gave a decent massage, but gave her a 3.5 as she was waiting in the relaxation area for me when I finished. She was on the chase, reading a magazine, and drinking her herbal tea as if she’d been there for a while. When we compared notes JAMIE totally won!
Donna gave great customer service and was helpful, even though we either interrupted her balancing her checkbook or cleaning out her purse when we got to the front desk to pay and check out. (4 rating)
Facility– 3
We were underwhelmed by the amenities as the steam room was out of service, the «whirlpool» was more like a luke warm jacuzzi outside of the children’s area. We walked past the children playing foosball and ping pong in our spa robes. When we arrived, one jacuzzi worked, and the other was out of order. The pool attendant was called and couldn’t get it to work. Our time in the jacuzzi was cut short as rocks were either falling from the roof or they were being thrown– we’re not sure, but after about 5 minutes of that, we took off!
Ambiance & Cleanliness– 3.5
Clean and relaxing. Great supply of teas, granola, lemon water, cucumber eye towels, and the usual! Nothing stood out as stellar.
Overall, we left the HB Spa underwhelmed and went to the beach, but mom says we haven’t given up on ol’ Salamander yet. We’ll try others and let you know!
