    Perfect Spa Day
    I was surprised with a spa package at The Awakening Spa for my 60th birthday. My children couldn’t have chosen a more beautiful and relaxing place to celebrate my birthday. The staff went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and each of the therapists were unbelievable. I have visited many five star spas in the past, and The Awakening Spa at Anderson Ocean Club is definitely worth the trip.
    Score one for the kids! We're so glad they chose us for your Spa Day. We acknowlege that time for self-renewal is precious. The synergy of our team endeavors to deliver a precious experience for our guests. Thank you so very much for such a kind review Eileen. Please allow us to take care of you (and maybe the family?) again!

    Exceptional experience
    What a wonderful experience. I’m not easy to relax and enjoy being pampered, but I truly did at my spa experience. The Sea Mud Body Wrap was so enjoyable and Michele was very nice. She made me feel comfortable, which is probably why I felt so relaxed. Everyone was kind and friendly and engaging. A very nice way to spend my birthday.
    We're happy to know you enjoyed your birthday experience at Awakening! Michelle is an amazingly talented massage and body treatment specialist, and, we agree, exceptionally easy to relax with! Thank you for this wonderful review, we'll share it with Michelle.

    Truly amazing experience!
    I took advantage of the Spa Special which included a facial and massage. oh.my. goodness. Both were amazing! I would rate both the best massage and facial I have had. So relaxing. Both techs were amazing, friendly, personable and professional. Lakyra was my massage therapist and Kimberly did my facial. The calming/relaxing feeling started as soon as you walked in the door. Then continued from the front desk to the back. This spa thought of everything. Nice dressing area with private restrooms PLUS showers to use, if you want, after your spa day. They really thought of everything, even the smallest of details like having fresh brushes and combs to use after your shower. I added a peppermint oil scalp treatment to my massage (go ahead, add an add on, treat yourself, so worth it). I took full advantage of the shower to wash out the oil in my hair before leaving. Truly the best spa experience I have ever had from beginning to end. If we come back to Myrtle Beach, this will be on the agenda.
    Your review put a smile on our faces! We strive for every guest to have a seamless experience with us, and so appreciate your taking the time to write this. Thank you so much!

I’ll start with saying our masseuses and facial clinician were AMAZING!!! There services were the best we’ve ever had…The Grove Park Inn included! However, if the front office can’t orchestrate and verbalize the prices, it’s all lost. I spoke with the front desk less than 24 hrs before our spa appointments and specifically asked what our total amount would be so I was prepared for a smooth check in/out process. I was told $696. I knew 20% was a mandatory charge for service, then that’s part of the cost, which I’m fine with… Quote THE TOTAL COST. Not a derogatory number that doesn’t apply. Then when we were checking out I was told around $580 and I said “is that for everyone” because I was planning for $696. Then another women came over and said “no, it’s $848”… ok, what?!
Long review short, quote the actual price when asked and have a front office staff trained and equipped with services provided and cost associated because it definitely takes away from the amazing spa treatments provided.

Your compliments about our services are appreciated! We're so glad you were pleased! That being said, we apologize for any miscommunication with our quotation of prices over the phone. The service charge should be included when quoting over the phone, but is on our website, and all published materials. Unfortunately, when checking out, I was unaware that your husband hadn't taken care of his service on his own, so the total I gave you was for your daughter and yourself only, including the service charge. So sorry for the confusion, and again, thank you for your compliments on the services. We hope you will consider visiting us again.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary and booked the couples retreat. Great day for us! They were very professional and our time in the sea salt soak was perfect followed by a massage. Lenora and Shereen gave a great massage! It is a do over for sure!

Lisa is the perfect front desk associate at the Awakening Spa. She is so friendly and accommodating!

As best friends we thought it might be odd to book a couples massage and spa experience; however, Lisa must have read our minds because she offered it to us right away!

When our massage day arrived, Lisa (and I forgot the other front desk woman's name) welcomed us, got us all set for our massages and passed us off to the couples room where Lanora and Lakyra took over to provide our amazing massages!

Thank you for such a wonderful experience! We will definitely be back when we visit Myrtle Beach again!

Lisa and the rest of her front desk team are a huge reason why clients are so happy with our guest services, and our veteran LMT's Lakyra and Lanora provide exceptional services. So glad that your experience with us makes you want to return! We'll be looking out for you! Thank you!

I had the best facial I have ever had from Helen and she suggested products to help my completion. My facial was followed by a deep tissue massage by Maria and man did she hit it out of the park! I would highly recommend both of these services. Everyone in the spa was nice and very helpful. I felt very pampered. I will definitely book an appointment the next time I am in Myrtle Beach!

My husband surprised me with spa treatments for our anniversary. The experience was AWESOME! The staff was extremely nice, welcoming, and pleasant. The spa ambiance is very relaxing and inviting. My husband and I did a couple's massage and a couple's relaxation bath - both were AMAZING!
I would highly recommend visiting this spa.

Went to Myrtle Beach for vacation when cruise was canceled. we didn't stay at The Anderson because it was booked. Treated granddaughter to a massage and facial. The day before they called and canceled the massage do to a death in the family of the masseuse. Could not reschedule booked till we left. She did have the facial and said it was wonderful. People were very helpful. Sister had both the next day and said it was the best she ever had. Hope to stay there next time we visit Myrtle Beach.

Amazing experience! Had the couples massage and a private salt soak. Perfect ambiance, caring staff. Plus they have a locker room with towels and comfy shoes to wear for the duration of the visit. I will be back and you should too!
