This is a great place if you are looking to espace the busy streets of ny then this is the place to go to. if you are getting a colonic make sure you book your appointment with sharon, she is great she makes this "embarassing" experience very comfortable.

Pros: Sharon

Cons: a weird receptionist..

Highly recommend...I'm totally hooked now! I have had one colonic before and it was so so...this time I was totally comfortable b/c of the atmosphere in the spa and the experience of the therapist. I felt sooo much better afterwards and I have been back three times since.

Ready, set, go and you don't want to stop; it's that good an experience. It's everything they say it is and more. After my colonic I felt lighter and my back felt better than it had in years. Then I had an acussage - apparently, a unique treatment developed by La Casa - combo massage and accupuncture. I was so blissfully relaxed that by the time she put the needles in, she could have performed a labotomy on me - truly, no pain whatsoever - actually, the needles felt quite pleasurable. I'm planning to make both colonic and acussage part of my staywell regimen.

Pros: lots of pleasure

Cons: makes me forget what I need to do afterwards

I walked in the door and felt like I was in another world far far away from the noise and hassle of New York City. I knew immediately this was going to be a very special experience. I had signed up for one of the day packages and what a day it was - heaven on earth. It all started with this very nice elderly man who reminded me of my father. He was very reassuring and made me feel right at home. After all, I was about to have my very first colonic. The colonic made me feel like a new person, although not as pleasurable as the massage I had afterwards, it was not unpleasurable. But the most exquisite experience of my visit was the float. I'm planning on repeating the whole day next month.

Pros: pleasant & experienced staff - takes you away to another world

Cons: up a flight of stairs but great for the quads.

When you think of the worst possible thing that could happen to you while having a not so pleasant procedure well it did! the fabulous therapist everyone is referring to managed to not do something right because i was left lying on a table while i don't want to be too graffic my "stuff" was coming out and not in the tube. i complained without even an apology. i am scared for life!

Pros: none

Cons: everything

I disagree with the above reviews. I have been a customer for over 10 years at this Spa and the last 2 times I went the service was sub par. When I arrived they switched the masseuse to an older in-experienced person who was nervous, talked too much, which made me feel very uncomfortable. The other time I had a body scrub, and I had a terrible rash when I was through. I find the accommodations outdated and run down. I would not recommend this spa to anyone.

At long last, I found THE day spa that will be mine forever! Not only did I have a colonic with a professional named Cher - who proves to be the most talented there is - but I have now introduced my very conventional, conservative boyfriend to this therapy...and he's made it his own. (Thank you, Cher! ). I also tried the oxygen/ozone bath to deal with the wound on my foot that would never close and heal... and following that treatment, and then an "accusage" with a pro named, Jenn, well, it's finally healed! (I'm back in my Manolos!). Thank you for all of your steep knowledge and expertise and a great "day at the spa", LaCasa!

Pros: Expertise, professionalism

La Casa Day Spa is a gem. It is like a diamond in the rough but without the rough. The waiting room is spacious, light and airy and looks like a tropical garden. I sipped my tea pleasantly – which was offered and served by a nice, balding man named Gregg who seems to own, or manage the spa. I was picked up by my therapist and escorted to my treatment room – and there the real delight began. I had come for a massage and a colonic: the pain first (not really); then the pleasure. The colonic was – believe it or not – totally relaxing. My therapist – whose name was Cher – had a non-stop running massage on my calves and my abdomen as she was gently encouraging (through various gentle manipulations) my bowels to release themselves. It was absolutely sanitary – and when it was over, I got up feeling lighter and my back that had been aching for 3 days felt infinitely freer and less achy. The massage was soothing and deep – and somehow the therapist knew when to do which. I’m a convert. More colonics; more massages for me. La Casa is my new home.

Pros: Service

Cons: None Noted

La Casa Day spa was a great escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. I had the Day of Detox package with the massage, float, and colonic and the therapists Jenn and Cher were great. The girl at the front desk was so nice and everyone made me feel welcome. I will definitely be back for more treatments.

Pros: friendly staff, interesting treatments

I am a southern country girl from the back roads of New Orleans Louisiana. NY was a bit overwhelming to me at first - until I found La Casa. It was like coming home. the staff was so friendly, I thought they were family. the ambiance looked like my back yard - filled with plants and trees. I had signed up for a massage - and it was exquisite - but while I was there, they were running a special - I could get another treatment with a $25 savings if I got it that same day. I opted for the supoer-enriched oxygen steam bath. Although it wasn't exactly fun - because I was sitting for a half hour in a steam cabinet, they assured me that it was a powerful de-tox treatment. While I was having the therapy, I watched a CD about it - and learned a lot about the beneficial effects of the activated oxygen that was being pumped into the steam cabinet - and thus into my body. I learned that this is a frequently used form of therapy in Germany - as well as a lot of other countries. I felt cleansed like never before - from inside to out. My skin - everywhere on my body - smelled fresh and looked terrific. I ended my visit by buying a face gel that they make at the spa - it takes 3 weeks to infuse the gel (a combination of coconut, olive and macadamia oils) with the activated oxygen - and then they add over 20 essential oils to it. It had an amazing scent; it felt amazing on my face. I am going to make a visit to La Casa part of my life now. It's a great part of my new life in the Big Apple (as opposed to the Big Easy).

Pros: great attitude of staff; unusual and lovely treatments; best place for de-tox in the city

Cons: oxygen bath was behind screens
