Raphael's Spa — Local services in Palm Springs

I recently had an exceptional experience at Raphael's Spa. From the moment I stepped foot into the spa, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff members were friendly, attentive, and ensured that I felt comfortable throughout my visit.

The massage therapists at Raphael's Spa are true professionals. They demonstrated a deep understanding of various massage techniques and customized the session to address my specific needs. Their skillful hands worked wonders, relieving my muscle tension and providing a truly relaxing experience. The therapists had excellent communication, regularly checking in to ensure the pressure and techniques were to my liking.

I left Raphael's Spa feeling completely rejuvenated, with a renewed sense of well-being. The positive effects of the massage lasted for days, leaving me eager to return for another session. I highly recommend Raphael's Spa to anyone in search of a top-notch massage experience. You'll be treated to a blissful journey of relaxation and rejuvenation that will leave you...

Not sure if the parlor is under new management after going there for 3 years once a month (hiatus during covid during which ushered in a raise of $20 more per hour, but still a great massage), but it seems they are cutting off about 7 mins. from the total time from when they start.

This evening my husband and I went to Raphael's Spa. I had a 30 minute foot rub, you couldn't say it was reflexology! The girl doing this had no English whatsoever and was difficult to communicate with her. My husband had a 30 minute massage.

They then stood over us for a tip before they would...
