The Spa at Boar's Head Resort

"After 2 years of holding on to a birthday gift certificate for the Boars Head Spa I decided to make a weekend out of it & stay at the Inn. We had to switch rooms as the air conditioning was broken in the first room, no big deal. the rooms are out dated and really need some general maintenance. I was really looking forward to my massage the next day. The interior of the spa is very nice. However, the staff left something to be desired. After a short wait I was shown to where the locker room was & given a locker/instructions on how to use it. What I didn’t realize is no one told me if the massage therapist would come get me or if I should go to another room. I went back out to the front desk to ask the lady there & she looked at me like I had three heads. The massage itself was probably one of the worst I’ve ever had. The therapist didn’t apply any pressure even tho I paid for a combo service.(several different types of massages in one session). I voiced my concern about this just to have it ignored. Through out the whole 90 min massage the therapist would pause for minutes at a time & “breathe” wo out touching me. It was very weird and out of at least 100+ massages I have never had this happen. I realized at checkout that the tip is not based upon quality of service but is automatically added based on the cost of the service. No wonder the therapist didn’t feel like she had to do her job. Will not ever return to the Boars Head, definitely will not return to the Spa or recommend them."

"A Heaven-on-Earth spa day!!! Each service had so many extra attentions to detail!"

"LOVE getting facials with both Meredith and Melissa! They are both extremely sweet, knowledgeable, and talented. I always feel so taken care of and pampered. Embarrassingly, I also keep falling asleep — I just feel so relaxed lol!"

"This is by far the nicest spa I’ve experienced in the cville area! The women’s lounge, common area, locker room and steam room are all great. There are spa robes and sandals. The pool opens May 1st, 2023 so I couldn’t go out there but the gym is available if you book a spa service. There is complimentary tea + snacks. My pedicure was lovely! Thanks."

"My massage and pedicure were wonderful!! However, I was changed $25 plus gratuity making it over $30 for gel removed without being asked or told it would be an additional charge. When I told the manager about this she said I had to pay the additional charge (even though I was never informed) because it caused the girl to do my pedicure to get behind. I sat down the same time as my friend and we finished one moment apart. I realize $30 is not the end of the world but it was frustrating to spend on something so minimal that I wasn’t aware of having to pay. I’ll take my business elsewhere in the future."
