The Dragontree -ecommerce

This is by far my favorite spa in Portland! From the second you walk in the door until the moment you leave, each minute is an unbelievably relaxing & magical experience. The spa is gorgeous and always smells yummy! The staff have always been professional, welcoming, and attentive. If you have the time and $$, I would suggest one of the luxurious packages that are offered in the extensive spa menu. If not, I also love relaxing in the Sangha Room with a cup of tea and an amazing Sweet & Simple treatment! The owner is so lovely and always so professional. I will be back again and again! Pros: beautiful atmosphere, skilled & professional staff Cons: none! more

The Dragontree is such a special place. Just walking in the front door I feel I'm invited to let go of my daily stresses and experience peace and healing. I have had massage from Roxanne, Joy, John, Chrissy and Serena and they are all so gifted and present in the art of massage. When I started working out again I was of course sore and needed a soothing and gentle massage, and they do that so well. I typically however have tension headaches and postural problems which requires deeper massage and more knowledge and skill. I am so impressed with the quality and expertise of the therapists at The Dragontree. Each time I go, where ever I am physically, mentally and emotionally, each therapist has been receptive and attentive and I get exactly what I need. When I just have the time or money for a little bit of nurturing, it is amazing how much I benefit from a head, neck and shoulder massage or foot massage in the Sangha Room. The Sangha Room is a community room with big cushy couches, floating ivy, and the sound of flowing water in the background. Another gift The Dragontree has to offer is it's Acupuncturist and Chinese Medicine Doctor Peter Borten. Receiving acupuncture a few times in the past I felt like the change must be subtle and not something that one is necessarily conscious of. I realize after seeing Peter that the healing available from Acupuncture and Chinese medicine is tangible and powerful. Peter is conscious, wise and passionate about the art and precision of Chinese medicine. I am so grateful to have him as a resource in my growth and healing. more

I live in the Seattle area, and have had the opportunity to experience several spas in our area. My sister-in-law and I were headed to Portland to see a show, and decided to make a weekend retreat of it. After reviewing many spas online she chose The DragonTree... we opted for a full spa package for our first day in town, and had a wonderful experience. The massage was terrific and after my first and only facial, I swore I'd never do it again, but it was included in our package, so, what the heck... What an amazing experience. I admit, it may have been the best part of the day. Yes, a few things were less than perfect... our lunch orders were completely fouled up, and my massage therapist asked if I would mind if he left to grab a glass of water as he was feeling light-headed in the middle of my massage (strange!), but all in all, a completely delightful day! more

What a hidden gem in this city. If you haven't experienced the Dragontree yet, you must-- do yourself a favor. You walk in to a serene, zen-like atmosphere, with rich colors and candles everywhere, and are greeted by the sweet beautiful girls at the front desk. Last time I was there I took a moment to check out some of their retail too-- pretty neat products that fit in well with their holistic theme (thanks for suggesting the Livia cleanser, Cassie!). I've had a few different massage therapists here and all have been great. I want to recommend the abyhanga (sp?) massage-- what an experience! I really like spending time in their Sangha room, which is their communal space with big red couches, where you can receive foot massages, neck and shoulder massages, hand, etc etc... not to mention their foot baths... sigh :-) I've frequented a number of spa's in Portland and this one definitely stands out as a beautifully unique sanctuary. I also really liked the Clearing Cafe next door (same owners of the spa) for their yummy nourishing bowls and fresh squeezed juices. I also like to take advantage of Dragontree's monthly special packages, they're always a nice bargain for what you're getting. So happy I have found "my" spa here in Portland. Thanks Dragontree! Pros: kind staff, great services, gorgeous interior Cons: none! more

We have been very pleased with the services at the spa, until now. We were very disappointed in paying a 50% fee for needing to reschedule an appointment because it fell within the 24-hour penalty window. Unfortunately, illness is not always predictable, and we consider your rescheduling penalty unreasonable, unfair and incongruent with the spirit of your business. As a result, we are discontinuing our patronage of The Dragontree Holistic Day Spa. more

It was my first time being at Dragontree and the moment I walked in the door I was greated with a smile. Sometimes I get uncomfortable going into spas because it can be intimidating, but I felt really comfortable the second I walked in. The spa is very peaceful and relaxing. Serena was my massage therapist and she was AMAZING! She was very thorough and made sure I was getting what I needed personally and focused on the areas I was concerned about. I have already recommended her to 5 people and I just had my massage yesterday! I will definitely be back and will be sending all my friends. Thank you Serena and all of Dragontree staff for making my experience great! Pros: great customer service, very peaceful Cons: none, loved it! more

Most people love this place, and I can see why. The atmosphere is lovely, and some of massage therapists at this spa are really talented. If you end up going, I would recommend Joy. However, it's unfortunate that some of the staff is careless, pretentious and rude. It really ruins the atmosphere. That, compared with the noises in the background constantly (there seems to be a kitchen in a back room, one can hear water running and constant thumping around. The communal massage room with couches is at first amazing, but quickly looses it charm when 5 or 6 others clog up the space, chatting, sharing drinks, and staff walk through the room while you are trying to relax. All in all, I think it depends on the day you go if you have a good experience. If it is a slow day, the front desk is organized, the staff and owner are all in good moods, you will probably have a great time. If not, you may just leave irritated, and feeling like you wasted your money. more

Any trip to the dragontree is an escape from reality. I have gotten full body massage there that was AMAZING and recently just stopped in for a foot bath. Even that simple treat made my whole week better. The ambiance they've created there is out of this world. I'm planning a girls day out trip there when my sisters are in town and can't wait!!! Pros: service, variety, atmosphere more

It has been a while since I have gotten a massage-- mostly because I'm new in town and I wasn't sure where to go. A friend recommended the Dragontree and I loved it! It has a very peaceful and relaxing vibe and everyone is so nice and helpful. I had the best massage I've ever had and will definitely request Glen again. He did nice, deep work that left me feeling so calm and relaxed. Overall, I loved this place. Thank you! Pros: Great massage therapist, relaxing atmosphere, helpful staff more

It was my second time going to The DragonTree. They have added the showers and the sauna which was really nice. I had the September special which was a great value. My day started with a lavender foot soak and exfoliation and I received a super yummy berry smoothie. I ended up drooling during my massage and by the time my facial was over my therapist had to come back in and wake me up. All that being said I needed to relax and rejuvenate and The DragonTree delivered. It was all great. Thank you. 8-15-10 Update. I have to say I have been to The Dragon Tree many times and every treatment and experience has been better than the one before. It is obvious by the care and thought that goes into each service that things here are well thought out. I always walk out sighing with relief and pure relaxation. I love spa treatments and wouldn't go back time and time again if it wasn't great each time. I have just read the last two reviews and it just doesn't reflect my experience at all. I really think this place is lovely. Thank you for the great experience. Pros: Super Relaxing Cons: nothing more

Last Saturday evening was great! The space puts you right in the mood for serious pampering. The foot soak was presented so nicely. The cool towel on the neck was ideal given the hottest day in Portland this year. The massage from Morgan was epic....deep tissue w/ a Thai touch....wow! Pros: Location, ambience, staff Cons: just can't seem to think of one based on my exper last Sat night more

I went to Dragon Tree with 3 friends for massages after reading the positive reviews on CitySearch. We were all extremely happy with our experience and had excellent massages. The staff was friendly, the facilities very relaxing but not overly posh. We loved that we got fluffy robes, and we sat in the sauna on and off for an hour before and after our massages. I've had 3 other massages in Portland and none even remotely compared to the great experience at Dragon Tree. I will definitely be visiting again! Pros: Ambience, service more

I received a lovely gift certificate for a bundled packaged: foot, body, and facial. The person who serviced me for the foot and body massage was amazing. The facial was mediocre, but the person was very kind. Although I will not be using the facial service, I will continue with the body massage. All the knots around my shoulders are 80% gone after one session. I will be returning as long as the masseuse is around. The ambiance was not really my style but the sauna room was very modern and seemed very clean. The staff was very accommodating and I have recommended my friends for to the masseuse. more

This spa is a wonderful retreat from the hustle of everyday life. I have been there a few times and found the experience to be peaceful and relaxing. I was uncertain of the foot soak but it really transcends you to another place. The massages I have received have been wonderful and the staff is incredible. The only downside was the facial I received. I would try someone other than Kendall. She was not as skilled as the others. She finished about 15 minues before the scheduled time and left me in the room to "relax" for the rest of the time. She used the wrong products than what was described and when I brought it to her attention, she was insistent about the type of facial I was supposed to receive. I checked at the front desk and she was incorrect. I told her I loved my skincare line, she quit talking to me seemingly because I was not going to buy something. This was an unusual experience for this spa. I strongly recommend any of the other services or staff as neither I nor any friends have had anything but a wonderful experience other than this one time. Pros: Wonderful experience Cons: Request staff more

I wanted my skin to glow for my birthday, and that's just what it did after my facial with Cassi. She was absoulutely amazing! I have had a number of facials at several different locations. None have compared to the one i received at the dragontree. My entire experience there was fantastic. I highly recomend it to anyone looking for a calm and soothing spa experience. Pros: everything Cons: thin walls more

My best friend and I decided we needed a regular spa day and went to several different places before we tried Dragontree. We have been back several times and this is our spa of choice. We usually pick a package of some sort and haven't had a bad experience yet. The environment is tranquil and calming. The spa smells wonderful. Everyone I have worked with is considerate and friendly. The music is not obtrusive but definitely makes you relax. I am on their mailing list and love their monthly specials. There are pitchers of water everywhere so you can keep hydrated, and comfy couches to wait between services. Pros: quiet calm environment, nice dry sauna for before services Cons: first appointment of the day, make sure and inquire about the sauna and get there early to use more

i recently visited the Dragontree and was in aww. i don't know what they use but that place smells amazing! it was soooo relaxing! i recieved a facial while my friend got a massage and we were both VERY pleased. cassie, my esthetician was great! i felt so relaxed, and my skin was glowing afterwards. plus, they have a sauna. a spa is not a proper spa without a sauna. like i said, wow. we both floated out of there, and can't wait to find an excuse to go back! Pros: everything Cons: parking more

My friend recommended this spa couple of months ago. I came in for a treatment that included a foot bath, massage and a facial. The food bath and the massage were ok but I particulary loved my facial from Ginny and since then I have been coming in regularly for facials, waxing and more. When I called to schedule an appointment couple of days ago I was surprised to hear that my esthetician Ginny had gone somewhere else to work, and even more surprised that they would not tell me where she had gone. I was dissapointed to say the least. The receptinist told me that the new esthetician could get me in and that she was very talented. So I went ahead and made the appointment and went in. I was not impressed with my facial, the new esthetician seemed stressed, annoyed and overall not very happy to be there. I did not at all feel relaxed or even welcomed, instead I felt like she was just trying to rush me out of there so she could go home. It did not compare to my previous facials from Ginny. I don't think I'm going back. more

My boyfriend and I recently spent a weekend in Portland, and an incredible afternoon at the Dragontree! The warm atmosphere, courteous staff and attention to detail cannot be overstated. It proved worthwhile to arrive for our appointments early -- we were able to take advantage of the Dragontree's sauna rooms and tea service prior to our heavenly footbaths and massages. Our masseuses were quite professional and knowledgeable, and we left our massages feeling like new! The Dragontree is a spa sanctuary. I recommend it highly. Pros: Atmosphere, staff, sauna, unique spa treatments, tea list! Cons: none more

The experience that I had with the Dragontree staff was beyond my expectations. The girl that took my reservation when I called was sweet and very helpful. When I arrived I was greeted with smiles and lead to the sauna to relax before my appointment. The massage was the best massage I have ever had (I think my masseuse was Kim?)\r - she was very informative and had great deep pressure. I will definitely be back. more
