My husband booked a couples massage for my Valentine's Day surprise (I know, lucky me!) and he chose Escape Away spa since it was near our dinner reservations at Blue Sage Vegetarian Grille.
He made an excellent choice because this is the best spa I have been to in a long time!
When you arrive, do not be put off by it's location...sure, it's on top of a Cold Stone Creamery, but once you enter the premises you are transported to another world.
Soothing music, dim lighting, and whispers greet you as you leave the hustle and bustle of Northeast Philly behind and enter this serene locale.
Relax in the waiting area with light snacks and some wine before being whisked into your private massage sanctuary.
Our masseuses, Julia and Alex, had hands of steel and got out even the deepest musles with the spa's Signature massage (deeper than Swedish, so be warned!)
My one complaint is that, as a plus-size lady, my robe did not quite fit around me and I had to do some "improvising" with a towel. Still, had as much fun and was just as relaxed as the skinny divas strolling around!
We will be back FOR SURE!
Pros: Soothing environment for even the most stressed-out workaholics
Cons: Those robes!
