If you want to know how great Raintree Spa is, try to get an appointment!
Raintree being busy is not a bad thing at all. When you call and if they are booked, they will do whatever is possible to get you in, no matter what. Great customer service!
Honestly, it's hard to write this review because it will only make Raintree more in demand. Raintree is a fabulous spa with amazing services and a great staff.
I have never been disappointed and they are always my first choice when I need that special spa somethin'. -

I've been to the spa a few times and for me, it is one of the nicest spas I've been to. I've had two full body wraps, waxes, manicure/pedicures and massage therapy. This is the place you think of when you think of a luxury spa.
When I enter the calming environment of the spa, I'm offered tea/water and a warm shoulder wrap. When I change in to a robe, I have a locker and a very plush change room. All of their technicians are friendly and warm, always offering tea/water and they make sure all of my needs are met.
With massage therapy, the massage beds are heated so you never feel cold, like in other clinics. The light in the rooms are dimmed so that I never felt exposed, especially during the body wraps when I had to be naked.
I highly recommend any service that includes the Vichy shower and if you use massage therapy, buy the 3-pack. You save a good amount on each massage. -

As promised, I want to give an update on my 2nd time at Raintree Day Spa.
Barbara, the owner, was there this time, and was just as pleasant and customer friendly as I remembered her to be. She greeted us with tea and gave us forms to fill out. I brought my two cousins with me and as all had 1 hr Swedish Relaxation Massages. While we were filling out forms, our massage therapists brought out warm shoulder wraps for us, which was brilliant! Such a cheap but effective way to show that this spa pays good attention to detail!
The massage was pretty good, but not mind blowing (I think it's because we did not get RMTs. Apparently, all their RMTs are booked on weekends until 2011....!). I liked how they were flexible with our needs. For example, my cousin needed someone with a firmer hand, and I wanted a scalp massage included in mine, and they satisfied both our requests. Another little detail is that they would use hot towels to wipe off excess oil after their massaged each section (for example, after a 15- min long foot massage, they would wrap our feet in a hot towel for a minute and gently massage so that we weren't covered in grease by the end of the appointment).
I had a wonderful experience at Raintree and would definitely continue to recommend it to anyone who is looking for a decent spa with great service! Try to book in advance for an RMT!1 Previous Review: Show all »

Pretty good services but they forgot to note on my account that I was supposed to get a discount and overcharged me, and then would not reverse the charges. Receptionist was pretty passive-aggressive. I'm not going back but you may have better luck.

History
Established in 2004
The Raintree Wellness Spa opened in 2004 in historic Steveston, in South Richmond. The design is based on owner Barbara Bell's experiences on the Westcoast of Vancouver Island, in Tofino. Barbara wanted to capture the feeling of coastal serenity...and decided to recreate the experience as Raintree Wellness Spa.
Reminiscent of a walk in a rain forest, the spa's custom colours are natural - from warm woods, natural gray granites, fresh greens, and calming earth tones. The Westcoast theme is carried throughout the spa - from its healthy non-toxic paints and finishes - to the natural skin and body care products used at Raintree.
