Reviews
I recently had the opportunity to experience the new Resonance Recovery Therapies at Elmwood Spa Toronto and it was genuinely one of the most thoughtful wellness experiences I’ve had in the city. As someone who works with the body and nervous system professionally, I pay close attention to how recovery spaces are designed and Elmwood truly created something special here. The Resonance circuits combine contrast water therapy, floatation, red light, vibration and sound therapy in a way that feels intentional, immersive, and deeply regulating for the nervous system. You can feel your body begin to soften and downshift throughout the experience. What also makes Elmwood stand out is that it’s not just one treatment, it’s a full reset day. Access to the water therapies, massage and facial services, beautiful spaces to unwind, plus their prix-fixe lunch experience creates the perfect environment to actually slow down and recharge. Everything felt elevated, calming, and incredibly well curated from start to finish. Highly recommend for anyone looking to support recovery, stress management, nervous system regulation, or simply reconnect with their body in a deeper way.
Everything was very simple and outdated. The water treatment area was very small, and the changing-room lockers were too small. The refreshments were below expectations, with only apples and water available. I would prefer to go to a downtown hotel spa instead, especially since the treatment price was the same. I also had a massage, but while I was in the room, I could hear staff noise from outside, which interrupted my relaxation.
We really enjoyed elmwood spa. My husband and I had massage with Carolyn and Eric which was great. Food was excellent. The only part that could be better was the swimming pool. It was small and noisy. People working here are so friendly and above expectation. Overall experience was great.
I spent the day at Elmwood Spa (going on a Tuesday morning was the best decision!) and overall had a really lovely experience. One of the first things I noticed was how welcoming the staff were. Everyone I encountered was friendly, helpful, and attentive. As a woman of colour, I was pleasantly surprised to see so many staff members who were also PoC - it immediately made the space feel more relaxed and comfortable. The women’s change room and Water Therapies area were clean, well laid out, and peaceful. The noise level was pleasantly quiet, which made it easy to fully unwind. I also stopped by the Juice Bar where I enjoyed a delicious Mango Mimosa and great conversation with Paulina - she was warm, engaging, and added to the overall experience. My treatment was the Invigorating Detox Body Treatment, and it was absolutely divine. The therapist was exceptional, and the included mini facial was the icing on the cake. I also loved that you get to keep the dry brush used during the treatment - such a nice touch. The only downside of the day was the food at the Terrace Restaurant. While the bread and the XL cookie dessert were great, both the corn and coconut soup and the braised beef were quite under-seasoned and really needed salt. That said, my server Tehani was very efficient and incredibly sweet when I shared my feedback. Overall, a relaxing and enjoyable spa day with wonderful staff - I’d definitely return for the treatments and water therapies.
