Best

Compared to the big city spas of Houston we were entirely pleased with our experience at the petite retreat. The little tucked away spa was quaint and personal. The staff profess...

Worst

The massage was adequate but why 80 dollars for a modect palce with no special perksa 5 dollar bottle of unchlled wien and filthy sheets. No thanks I won't be back.

A most excellent massage! 6/28/2010

This was my first time at The Petite Retreat and I wasn't sure what to expect but when I walked in, the atmosphere was warm, relaxing and comforting with wonderful soft music playing.. The massage I received was extraordinary. It was amazing! It was pure bliss. After the massage, I felt so relaxed,so much better. I felt like a gentle leaf just floating in the breeze. That's how good this massage was! The Petite Retreat is a hidden Oasis in Houston! Will I be going back? You betcha! Would I recommend The Petite Retreat? Absolutely! Pros: very relaxing, welcoming ambience Cons: None more

Excellent Treatment/Customer Service 6/25/2010

My girlfriend and I decided last minute 'cuz we were kid free for the night, to book a couple's treatment here. We were so impressed by the owners professionalism and attention - we will definately be back. We booked the 2 hour instructional massage where we learned to massage each other. It was so much fun! My wife is begging to go back soon. Thanks Christie! We had a great time. Pros: Had a one on one with the owner, awesome Cons: none more

The Coolest Secret in the Heights 6/16/2010

We recently visited this quaint spa after doing a google search and discovering it was right down the street from my husbands office! I booked a couple's massage for us apparently on the night of the property's open house mixer. We arrived in the front house and sipped on some wine and enjoyed live music and mingled with some neat people from the Heights Chamber of commerce. The owner of the Historical Mansion was hosting the party and we just lucked out to book on this particular evening! We then moved on to the back guest house where The Petite Retreat is located. The waiting area is beautifully decorated with local artists pieces which were stunning. After enjoying another glass of wine and admiring the art, we were escorted to our massage suite which was candle lit and very romantic. Both of our massages were excellent and we left feeling amazing! My hubby and I are so busy, it was great to have this date experience and reconnect. I highly recommend this place. Pros: Awesome art gallery/spa, Fantastic Massage, Great Ambience Cons: None more

above and beyond professional 5/15/2010

My husband and I had a sitter scheduled for date night and I got a migraine that night. Not wanting to cancel, I asked if we could do a couples massage. He was able to book us that night at Petite Retreat and it was one of our best dates ever. Why did I wait for a migraine to do this? The environment was comfortable and inviting. They served us wine and appetizers and gave us to time to cozy up in chill out and then we had an hour long massage together. It was superp quality and I even got a chiropractor adjustment at the end :). I was so relaxed that I accidentally left my purse with my wallet, I-phone and personals in it, and didn't realize it till we reached home 45 minutes later. Christie and Dr. Nettle (think that's his name) offered to bring it to me that night, but being late, we decided to get it the next morning. They drove through nasty rainy houston traffic on a Saturday morning to return it to me. I think that is definitely going above and beyond the norm. We will definitely go back for more!! Pros: outstanding service Cons: parking more

Best Massage in Texas! 3/18/2010

In my opinion Christi is the best massage therapist, EVER! She has continued to provide me with not only great massages but her level of customer service is beyond most. Always has a great atmosphere for a private massage and or a couples massage. I have and would highly recommend!!!! more

Incredible Date Night 3/18/2010

It seems The Petite Retreat moved into a temporary location that did not work out but has relocated into a Historically deeded Mansion on Heights Blvd. It's sad the management of the temp. location seemed to greatly work against such a great concept spa. WE LOVED THE NEW PLACE!!! My boyfriend and I received the 2 hr Instructional massage and then opted to get the hour long couple's massage and foot treatment. My boyfriend had the owner as his therapist and I had an excellent therapist as well. We sipped on wine, had hor's douvres and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will definately be back. We fell in love with the owner and will continue to leave positive reviews here, as we would love to give back and see her flourish after her horrific experience in her last location. Thanks Christie - we love you! Pros: EVERYTHING more

Valentine's Day Disaster 2/28/2010

My Valentine's gift to my boyfriend was ruined. I made an appointment for he and I to receive massages on Valentine's Day. I was so excited because he had never received a professional massage. My appointment was confirmed the day after I called in the request (1 week prior) and everything seemed okay. We arrived at the M Towers 20 minutes before our appointment and were confused because we were unable to get into the lobby. We called and heard a recorded voice say that the mailbox was full. I figured they were in an appointment and would wait until 5 minutes before our appointment to call again. Called again 15 minutes later, still nothing. I thought I had the directions wrong so I went to a gas station to check the phone book for an address, but could not find the business listed. We proceeded to call every 2 minutes for the next 45 minutes thinking there was a mix-up with the time, and wanting to make sure I wasn't going to be charged for the appointment unless a service was provided. We were unable to get through. This all happened 2/14/2010. My boyfriend tried calling 2/16 and still, no one answered and the mailbox was full. This spa is very unprofessional. Not only did they not confirm the appointment the day before or even the day of, they did not have someone available to let us into the building, they did not provide the service they promised even after taking my credit card information, and they did not provide an apology or even a reason for not keeping the appointment. Cons: Did not keep appointment more

VERY DISAPPOINTING!!! 2/21/2010

I own a Spa in Austin & I think these owners need to be more professional. My best friend is turning 40 years old & I wanted to treat her to a day at a spa. Even though they don't to mani' & pedi's I thought they reviews sounded great. We would just get the body services here & go some place else for mani's & pedi's. So, I scheduled appointments for she and I do have two 2 Hour Ultimate Massage, Body Wraps & facials. I spoke with the owner herself on the evening I made the appointments. I gave her my 2 contact phone numbers & my credit card information to reserve my date on Thursday, Feb. 17th at 10am. I drove all the way to Houston so I could finally pamper myself & my best friend. Even though I own a spa, I rarely treat myself because I am busy & I have little ones at home. So we were really looking forward to our spa day! I tried calling a few days before our appointment because no one called to confirm our appointments & me being an owner of a spa, I thought that was "odd". Nonetheless, the day of the services, I called at 7:30 & every 20 minutes thereafter to confirm our time & make a final decision on which body wrap we would each have. But, when I called the voicemail wouldn't accept any message because it was full. She drives & meets me and then we drive to 5400 Memorial Drive & go into the lobby & we can't go up the elevator because the spa is suppose to come down & get us (this is according to the management company in the lobby). We waited for 45 minutes downstairs. I kept calling & calling, but nothing. I was on the phone calling my assistant to try & help my find another spa in Houston that could "fit us in" for services. I felt awful that we waisted more than 3 hours going there, waiting & then trying to find some place else to go. If an emergency had come up, someone should of at least given me a call to let me know. But, I doubt that is the reason. I believe we were "blown off" and I am very disappointed a professional would do that to another professional. I would not have any confidence in ever scheduling any appointments at this place because you may waste your time, like we did. Cons: The owners never showed up for our scheduled services more

Left feeling Amazing 2/2/2010

We booked a couple's massage to escape away from the kids! This place totally focused on only us while we were there (I understand they never see more than two couple's at a time, which makes it a quiet place to relax, not to mention the attention they gave us...) We even decided to upgrade to an adjustment after our treatment. Apparently it is the best time to get one after a massage! We left feeling taller, and I know my back felt the best it has ever felt in over 15 years (I'm not joking!) Thanks so much. We really enjoyed our experience and look forward to when it gets to be summer time so we can come back and enjoy the pool! Pros: Expert Staff, Ambiance, and Location Cons: Nothing more

Reignited the Romance for us after 10 years! 2/1/2010

We did the 2 hr instructional session and had a blast learning to massage each other! We then opted to have the date night couple's massage together and left feeling amazing and like we had been on vacation for a week! Thanks guys, everyone made us feel like celebrities! See you soon, and we will tell all our friends about you. We topped off the experience by having dinner at Brennan's which is only 1 block away! Pros: Incredible massage/private and resort like setting Cons: none more

We had a great time 12/23/2009

I thought it would be a great idea to have a couple's massage for our anniversary and I googled to find this place. It is hidden and you don;t even know it is there if you haven't found it online. We found this place quite unique and one of the best time we have had in a long time. Being so busy, it was hard to connect and we found our time here wonderful and most enhancing our intimacy. Next time we will do the instuctional massage session so we can learn to massage each other. Thanks Cristie for making our time at your spa so memorable. Pros: Nice They totally catered to us Private Location - Cons: None more

Great Private Location 12/23/2009

We just had a fabulous couple's package which included massages, facials, and japanese foot treatments. The staff was awesome and they completely catered to us. It was so cool because we had the place to ourselves and really felt completely special. I just read the previous review and they surely could have not visited the same place. The space was beautifully decorated and everything was 5 stars all the way. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AND IT'S SERVICES. Thank you to the owner for caring and keeping such a fine establishment. We had a great time and I plan to buy a gift certificate for my girlfriend and her husband. Pros: Best Massage I have ever had Cons: none more

Totally Disgusting Place 12/22/2009

It was our one year wedding anniversary and I decided to plan something romantic for my hubby and I. I made an appt. for the couples massage, facial and the mud body mask which was around $550.00. The website is nice and is nothing like the place at all! The place is a residence where people actually live and they are making money from home but its not a good idea because the place is ugly. They should really invest in remodeling or re locating. The home has a cold feeling and there is nothing soothing about it. We brought our own wine and hors d'oeuvres but the setting where we ate and drank was awful. The facial was not done right and the mud body mask consisted of wrapping us with a clear shower curtain!! Who does that? Inappropriate and so not worth almost $600.00 of my money at all. I could have done this at home. Overall, we were very disappointed with the service and the environment and WILL NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO THIS PLACE MUCH LESS RETURN... Pros: None what so ever! Cons: All of the above... more
