I joined Hawaiian Experience a couple of years ago, and it's honestly been one of the best things I've ever done. Coming in once a month gives me the opportunity to recharge. As the month progresses, stress starts to build up, but it all just goes away with a lomi lomi, and that relaxation lasts long after my treatment.\n\nI usually go to the Chandler location now, but occasionally will go to their other location in north Scottsdale. Both are beautiful spas, but Chandler may have the edge, with the lake view from the lounge.\n\nThe facilities are great - saunas, multi-jet showers, a steam room, a relaxing lounge, and comfortable treatment rooms.\n\nTherapists - I've had treatments from several therapists, and every one of them has been outstanding. But from my first treatment, Nikki has been my favorite. She has a very caring touch, and I find it easy to relax and let the world melt away in her hands.\n\nTreatments - The lomi lomi is their specialty, and for a good reason. It's by far the most relaxing massage I've ever had. Stretch it out to 90 or 120 minutes, or go crazy and do a 4-handed lomi, for ultimate relaxation. I have tried some of the other treatments as well, like the chocolate/chocolate/chocolate, the hot stone, and a few others. Everything was always great - hot stones are awesome for sore muscles, but nothing relaxes quite like the lomi.\n\nPricing - The membership fees are very close to the popular chains, but the quality is just so much higher here that I would never go back to Massage Envy. Their standard membership gives you a higher quality massage for less money than the other guys. Upgrade to the \"Royal\" and get an incredible lomi or other premium treatment every month for just a few bucks more than standard massages at the cheap places.\n\nService - Unlike big national chains, this is a family owned business, and you get personal interaction with them. Over the years I've had a few questions about treatments, billing, even questions asking for advice on a Hawaiian vacation I took last year. Steve or one of the other owners or managers always responds to my emails within hours, and they're always happy to help.\n\nI'd highly recommend Hawaiian Experience for anyone - if you're currently going to a big chain, or if you've never had a massage before, you'll be amazed at the difference this kind of place can make for your life.
