Lilly & Raul

Despite the past reviews I thought the place wasn't to bad looking at all.They even had a robe for you to put on.My Masseuse was Judy,she was quiet and knew where my knots were without me having to tell her.I have heard about this place through the grapevine and was very surprised at how cheap it was.Their is no shower and you need a key to go outside the office to a hallway bathroom...which i wasn't to happy about.However everything else was fine and I nearly floated out of there!!!... Sidenote:I had left another spa because it was kinda run down ..and came here and was happy with the decor.No it isn't a 5 star spa,but it is way better then some of these spa's charging alot more!!

Pros: very good cheap massage in a pleasant setting

Cons: outside hallway bathroom

I have been going to Lily and Raul's now for several months now. I try to get a massage every other week. I am very greatful to them for providing these wonderful massages for the price they do. I have all kinds of pain and stiffness and so I am able to get massage more frequently amd it has really improved my sleep and mobility. All the therapists I had have been good but I usually ask for Judy because I like a hard massage and she has great hands. They do have a standard routine that they do so you know what to expect. They seem to know when there is a problem area and will focus in on it -- I think as with any massage if it is too hard or not hard enough you need to say something. I have had terrible massages from other high priced spas and great ones as well so Iknow the difference. Thank you LIlly and Raul!

Pros: Value for your money, good therapists-- and theraputic massage

Cons: if you are looking for a "spa" atmosphere go somewhere else.

I've been going to Lilly and Raul's for 4 months now, I am hooked. I moved to New York City this past summer and things are a little tight as I get my life together and this place is such a great savings. I was introduced to this place by my girlfriend Evelyn, who swears by their work. We went together and I was like, this place doesn't look high end, but she told me to shut up and undress. I've been to spas in miami and they don't look like this place. Evelyn told me that New York has everything and this place is one of the best. My god, after 60min of rubbing and thumping, I felt like I was in heaven. I was instantly hooked, my masseuse Angela, is the best and she is so sweet. She asked me what I wanted, hard or soft, but I said medium and she said I will take care of you. She knows how to knead out those knots and the tension I felt on my shoulders. After we were done and were ready to pay, out comes some tea and cookies. I tipped angela what I felt was good, according to their sign, which states 25%, a little odd but their rates is so cheap so I understand. High end Spas are where you go once a month but here I can do this every two weeks if I can. I setup and appointment for me and my current boyfriend for next week (wink/wink), so I hope everything goes well so we can have a romantic evening. Ciao everyone..Luv you Angela :) xxooxx

Pros: Great Service, Better Price

I've been here several times and also brought my boyfriend once for a couples' massage (men are only allowed to go there as part of a couple - a nice touch, I think). The massages are very good and strong! They really work out the knots. (But they ask if the pressure is okay and respond accordingly). They give you snacks and water, are easy to schedule an appt. with, and always ready on time. Also they don't try to make annoying conversation with you like some places (like one time a therapist couldn't stop talking about her problems!) Highly recommended.

Pros: Cheap, easy to schedule apt, good location, very effective massage

I have been to this place twice. My second massage was not as good as the first. Definitely not a spa. For a spa experience, go to a spa.

Pros: price

Cons: noise and distraction

I was there last weekend with my husband. First of all, the price iz amazing. I was kind of expecting to get what i was paying for, but it was much much better than my expectations. Soothing atmospehere, large couple rooms, friendly staff. We're planning to do this couple massage regularly on a monthly basis now...

Pros: great prices, clean, friendly prefessional.

Cons: located midtown in an office building.

I did a couples massage and the massage wasn't bad, if you like the kneading type. I was a little sore for the next couple of days. What I didn't like is that during our massage here the masseuse were talking to each other. That kind of took away from the whole relaxing and romantic aspect of the massage. Other than that it wasn't bad for the price.

Pros: Really good price

Cons: They talked during the massage

I've been meaning to write a review for this place for a while. I've been going here for over a year and I have never been let down. Not only are the prices amazing but it's literally the best massage I've ever had. Why spend over $100 when you can go to Lilly's and get a phenomenal massage for less than half the price!!! It's a very comfortable environment, clean, and relaxing. I go at least twice a month! And I've had probably every girl there...they are all equally great. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Pros: Excellent massages, friendly, relaxing, inexpensive

Cons: NONE!

After reading the reviews on this website, I made an appointment. My back was in knots, and they fit me in the very same day! I've had several massages before, and this was one of the best. My massage was fantastic. I didn't even have to say where my problem areas were - my masseuse knew exactly what to do. I plan on making this a regular occurrence. Don't miss out on this fantastic massage. And you can't beat the price.

Pros: wonderful atmosphere, great price

Cons: none
