2/5/2010
We are here for Mich's Birthday!!! We love it here! Thanks, Kristen Moffitt
I
don't know where to begin. I love this place. Frankly, I can't
really afford it - or any spa - at this time in my life but I
make it work about 3x/year (and my husband knows to get me gift
certificates there!) because what it does for stress is SO WORTH
IT. I always get the 80 minute massage and then sit in the grotto
afterward. The price of the massage may be a tad higher than at
other places, and I almost put that down as a "con,"
but the grotto is included which makes it waaaay worth it for
what you get, since I'd pay just to use it! It's like being transported
to another place and time - a very roman baths feel or maybe it's
an ancient tomb feel (nice dim lighting too, which can be adjusted)
but whatever it is, it's amazing. You sit in this very large (small
pool-sized) jacuzzi next to a beautiful tiled wall with tea candles
and they bring you wine or champagne or tea or a few other options,
with appetizers, and the ceiling above slowly changes colors and
has stars! Bordering cheesy? Nope - it's fantastic. For my 40th
b-day last weekend, 11 of my girlfriends and I split the cost
to rent out the grotto. We got treated like royalty and everyone
was giggling hysterically about how we can be so stressed out
one minute as moms living in chaos, not a 5-10 minute drive away,
and the next thing we know we're at this insanely relaxing other
world being spoiled to death. Everyone had different-shaped and
sized bodies (we all wore swimsuits) and some were a little self-conscious
about it/hesitant about coming but suddenly no one cared anymore...thanks
in part to the wine? ;) and we just had a blast. The lavender
smelling steam room is another real treat - as is the sauna, cooling
bath (up to your neck, standing) and the light-therapy room w/
warm sand to lie on! It's also nice to go alone, as I do on Mother's
Day, or with just one friend. And one of these days I want to
bring my husband and do the couples massage!
My
only real complaint is that they're not open for massages later
at night. But then I suppose most places aren't. I just like a
good massage before bed and it seems that can only be found in
big cities or fancy hotels where they come to your room. I think
they'll stay open late for large groups though - or maybe those
special nights when they have live music?
The
spa is absolutely wonderful! From the moment you walk through
the door, you are totally transported to a different world. I
have frequented spas all over the world and this is at the top
of my list of favorites. The treatment rooms are soothing, comfortable
and very well equipped. I have been quite pleased with each of
my service providers; they are always very caring and quite knowledgeable
in their field. The crowning jewel of this spa is, for me, the
wonderful grotto area complete with roman tub (including snacks
and beverages poolside), cool dip pool and large steam room. Do
yourself a favor a schedule a treatment as soon as you can!
Pros:
Service, environment, ambiance
Cons:
I can't go every day of the year!
This
is absolutely your best bet if you are going to the spa. From
products, to services and staff, this is where you will get your
money’s worth. They exceed my expectations every time and I'm
sure you will have the same experience! This place has been my
sanctuary and escape from the busy and chaotic world for the past
year, a great escape, relaxing indulgence. You owe it to yourself
to visit. My favorite is the grotto experience. Every time I visit
I am the only one there, they make sure your experience is private
and personal, every time. They even serve appetizers by the pool;
the staff really treats you like royalty. I love the sand and
sun room; it's like a mini vacation!
Thank
you Terra Del Sol staff for always being so sweet and going above
and beyond!
Pros:
variety of services, personal and private experience,
atten
Terra
del Sol was not my first choice when it came to getting a haircut
in the Portland area. I originally thought they were just a spa
that catered to expensive women. But many rave reviews about their
employees, atmosphere and overall business led me to them. What’s
more, after receiving what can only be described as the greatest
haircut of my life, I can think of no other business I will ever
go to. I recently moved into the area after spending the previous
four years visiting just one hair specialist whom I thought to
be irreplaceable.
Oh,
how wrong I was. I plan on returning every three to four weeks!
I was also recently gifted a massage gift certificate – if the
masseuse is anything like the woman who cut my hair, I am most
certainly in for an unparalleled treat!
Now,
after seeing some of the not-so-positive reviews on this site
I am incredibly perplexed. Just because a building used to be
utilized for something else in the past means it must stay that
way? In today's real estate market (especially in larger cities!)
it is simply not feasible to rip down a perfectly sound building
just to rebuild. I could think of nothing better to cleanse the
bad memories of a building than by creating a place where people
go to feel better.
Conversely,
some of these “reviewers” appear to be ex-employees. They claim
to know other employees who show disdain toward their (former)
employee? Perhaps they were let go (much like I can only assume
the “review”-writers were) because they failed to meet the high
standards an upper-echelon spa like this requires?
Needless
to say, they're really going out of your way to denounce such
a respected, reputable and one of my favorite businesses in the
Portland area. I take it personally when people lie about something
I love. I can only assume these are disgruntled former employees.
Pros:
great staff, awesome service, attention to detail
Terra
del Sol spa is a thoroughly enjoyable oasis in the center of Portland
, a place where you can relax and de-stress in a caring, tranquil,
peaceful environment while feeling pampered and cared for.
The
decor of Terra del Sol is a lush and whimsical amalgamation of
vacation locales. Safari, Riviera, Ancient Greece, and a little
bit of Vegas opulence combine to make you instantly feel you've
completely left the world outside...especially when the weather
outside is cold, rainy, and gray. The staff is doting, caring,
and seem to all genuinely love what they do...a rarity in many
spa/salons.
This
is the special-occasion spa my husband and I choose, to treat
ourselves or each other when the opportunity arises. The owner
and staff take great joy in providing a singular exceptional experience
for you and/or your loved one. To be able to unwind in the swimming
pool-like hot tub before or after treatments is magnificent and
restorative.
A
Terra Del Sol visit is perfect if you want an escape, a vacation,
but can't realistically take one due to time or budget. You leave
the Spa feeling as if you've been gone a few days, rather than
a few hours. I have highly recommended this spa to bridal parties,
soldier's wives, first-time spa goers, veteran spa goers, athletes,
elderly people, and the Ultimately Stressed, and never heard a
disappointed word back.
Pros:
Fantasy decor, caring staff, excellent treatments
I
have visited Terra del Sol on several occasions over the past
year with a pleasurable experience resulting each time. In getting
either an independent or couples massage, I have been happy with
the treatments received. Having only been to a half dozen or so
other spas in the Portland area my comparison base is somewhat
limited, however, with that said, the treatments were on par to
those offered elsewhere. Where Terra del Sol shines brightest
is in the service and facilities it provides. From my initial
entry into the building the employees were very polite and attentive.
In not feeling rushed or over oversold services, I was able to
have a truly relaxing treatment. Although I did see other visitors
while at Terra del Sol, I did not feel overly crowded or have
to wait for shower and/or a locker to become available, a situation
I unfortunately experienced at one of the other spas in town.
It
is quite apparent that a significant amount of detail went into
the design of their facilities, in particular the grotto area.
Soaking in the pool with an adult beverage while taking in the
color adjusting sky ceiling, unique color palette chosen by the
painters, and travertine enriched grounds makes for an immersing
experience. Overall, I have been pleased with my past experiences
and intend visit Terra del Sol again.
Pros:
Service & Facilities
My
spa experience at Terra Del Sol was by far the best I've ever
had. I was kindly greeted by the front desk staff with a cup of
tea before my massage with Alex. I was led down to "the Grotto"
with Alex, which was beautiful. In the grotto area I was taken
to a massage an extremely comfortable massage room with a warmed
massage table. Alex gave me a fantastic massage and focused on
areas where I needed it the most. I nearly fell asleep! After
my massage I was able to spend some time in the Grotto, where
I was served wine and utilized the steam room, the jacuzzi and
the cold plunge. The Grotto is such a unique space and it was
incredible. I had a wonderful experience at Terra Del Sol.
Pros:
Impeccable service, wonderful massage, THE GROTTO
Best
place to 'get away' without getting on a plane!
Thank
you Terra Del Sol, for making me feel like a new woman! Thank
you Julie, for my AMAZING massage, which sent me to a far-off
place. Thank you Emileigh, for allowing me to doze off a few times
during your soothing facial--Never have I felt like I was melting
into the bed and never have I left a spa with such a glow. Thank
you Rebekah for making my hands and tootsies as soft as silk!
The
spa chair, the music, the Grotto, the luxurious robes, the cheese,
the wine, the olives, the sweets--are you sure I was in rainy
Portland and not on my favorite island, Santorini?
Thank
you Terra Del Sol for your attention to detail, for making me
feel like a princess or better yet, Cleopatra or Persephone. Most
of all, thank you Christi, for showing me what being 'pampered'
really means. I don't have just one reason to come back, I have
a hundred. I will be back sooner than you can say 'spa'.
Pros:
Great services, wonderful staff, incredible atmosphere
Cons:
Can make one unproductive, for one wants to stay all day
My Christi,
Thank you
so much for the transformatively glorious day you and your staff
gave me this past Saturday. It was just perfect in every
way. You are a loving person who's really been able to effectively
share your caring and beauty in a positive external way and I
think you're just marvelous.
With love

Ok, here is
my review on my TDS experiences. See you soon.
Seth
I regularly frequent Terra Del Sol Spa for
their intoxicating treatments,
warm professional service, and soothing environment.
From the time
I walk in the door, I feel completely at ease. I have
experienced a variety
of the massage treatments, facials, and their hair
removal laser technology.
The therapists are well in tune to their clients' needs,
and give the correct
level of attentiveness without being intrusive.
The pool area located on the lower level is soothing
on all levels with an excellent
hot bath, cold dip, and steam room. The soft lighting
and gentle music also adds
to making the environment absolutely exquisite.
For those looking for professional laser removal, I
would like to recommend Terra Del Sol
for this specialized service. I have shopped around
a bit, and I have not found another spa with as reasonable price
offerings for this service. The therapists are highly trained
and professional helping alleviate any concerns anyone may have
with this treatment.
Overall, I am super pleased with my experiences at
Terra Del Sol, and I recommend the Spa to anyone who enjoys blissful
pampering on all levels.
Christi,
Ma is a new
woman!
For the first
time ever she's been pampered.
Her poor little
feet....she says she feels like, "I'm walking on air."
She was excited
to show me the new look on her toes and nail polish on them.
Thank you from
the bottom of my heart.
In her 88 years,
Ma has never had the kind of personal time that you've provided
her with.
Sh adores your
staff.
I do too.

My friend treated
me to a massage today- oh how wonderful it was. I used the
grotto and steam room first which I highly recommend. Julie
was my massage therapist and she did a deep tissue which was heaven-
the spa is so relaxing and all were very pleasant and helpful-
Thank you so much.
Ann C.
I visited
Terra Del Sol a few weeks ago for a "Signature ritual &
Moroccan Mud Wrapsody" treatment. It was AMAZING.
I left feeling so relaxed and my skin was incredibly soft and
glowing.
The spa facility
is beautiful, extremely tranquil and truly relaxing. I would
high ly recommend using their grotto and sauna areas (included
with facials and massage treatments).
As others have
mentioned in their comments/reviews, appointments don't seem to
start on time. I arrived about 20 minutes before my massage but
wasn't taken to the changing area until right when my service
was about to start. This didn't bother me at all, as I had
blocked off my entire afternoon and my services weren't at all
shortened. I would recommend telling the staff when you
arrive if you have to leave at a specific time.
Terra Del Sol,
Thank you for
your incredible sponsorship and support of the Miss Oregon USA
program. I look forward to experiencing your exquisite services
and getting to know you all!
With deepest
gratitude,

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! My sister Julie and I had the most fabulous time tonight! Terra Del Sol Spa was such a wonderful experience for us! They were so nice, and accommodating, we felt like royalty. We even got to meet Miss Oregon-who is a super nice person, too! We arrived early, since we were coming from Camas, WA , and didn't want to get stuck in traffic. The spa welcomed us with champagne, and a mini-pedicure. Following tht was a 5 minute chair massage, which was soooo nice and relaxing. After purchasing some much needed nail polish, we were whisked off to get our eyebrows and upper lips waxed. We wondered downstairs and sat by the inviting soaking tub, and had another glass of champage. after that, we walked to all of the stores that were on lour "treasure maps" and had a wonderful time browsing the stores in the Pearl District, and were warmly welcomed by super-nice people. Again, we were treated to strawberries dipped in chocolate, cookies, wine, champagne, red-bull (a little pick me up!) Our evening ended at the very trendy Bay 13, where we were treated to a pomegranite (and something) martini, while we waited for the very courteous staff to set up a table welcoming all of us that were with the "Girl's Night Out" group. The food was very yummy. We ate some things that we had never tried before, and liked it. It was relaxing, festive and very comfortable setting. We hated to leave! (I had to pick up my son from his baseball game, otherwise we would have stayed longer). My sister and I definately will be heading back to the Pearl District very soon. We had no idea what cool shops were there. It's like a whole other world. We also received nice gift bags from the spa, (I recieved one from K103 as well, thank you!). We both had our names drawn at the spa. I recieved a $30 gift certificate for Terra Del Sol and my sister received a cute leopard bag filled with spa goodies. What a treat! So, again, I just want to thank you so very much for sponsoring such a fun event for us. Portland Rocks! K103 Rocks! The best thing is, it's only 25 minutes from Camas, where we live. My sister has never been to a spa/salon before, so this was extra special for her. Please send our "HUGE thanks" to all the stores, and bay 13, as they were the best hosts. It truly was an awesome night for us!
Sincerely, Peggie Scott(and my sister, Julie Brown)
AMAZING Spa! I love the people 03/04/2009 Posted by jihaneF
Regardless of what these other moronic women might think, Terra Del Sol is fantastic. I have been to many Spas in town, Terra Del Sol Spa is a unique place for relaxation, excellent facials and massages. I love the people here, they know exactly what they are doing. Clean, friendly, always open, reasonably priced for an upscale salon. The service was very nice, before I even made it downstairs for my massage they offered me a cup of their amazing tea. For something special and different try the socking pool and the steam room. This was an amazing experience and I would recommend Terra Del Sol to anyone who wants to sneak away from their crazy schedules for a moment of relaxation. Don't knock it before you try it.
Pros: Amazing place, Friendly people, great service.
Don't waste your money on other Spas, You can find it ALL at Terra Del Sol!!!!!
02/24/2009 Posted by NRoss85
I've been going to Terra Del Sol since it opened and not once have I left feeling disappointed! The staff is always friendly and professional, the massages are TO DIE FOR and you can't beat the relaxing atmosphere! The grotto is beautiful, especially the Sun and Sand room which is PERFECT for people who have Seasonal Affect Disorder (SAD,) like myself. The hot tub is a perfect place to relax while you wait for your appointment, glass of wine in hand and food plate to devour. Today I had an awesome 50 minute massage which left me feeling very relaxed. I always go to Terra Del Sol for all of my massages, waxing, hair, and facial treatments. There is nothing that compares!!!
Pros: Aweomse Massages
Cons: There are none!!!
AMAZING ATMOSPHERE, INCREDIBLE SERVICE, BEST SPA EXPERIENCE IN PORTLAND! 02/24/2009 Posted by Steve82
I have been to many spas in the area, and Terra Del Sol Spa is truly a unique experience! It features everything you could ever ask for in a spa and much, much more! The interior and exterior of the building are totally amazing! The Grotto has a wonderful jetted hot tub that sits beneath fiber optic stars! It is filled with Greek columns, waterfalls, and gorgeous tile work. You will really feel like you are relaxing in a high end Mediterranean resort. The owner hasn't spared a touch of painstaking detail anywhere. From the moment I first arrived I was greeted by friendly, smiling staff and a relaxing environment. The massages are all amazing. The owner and staff are extremely accommodating in every way. Like anything else, you get what you pay for. Each of my experiences have been worth every penny. Tired of the Portland rain? The Sun and Sand room is a special experience unique to Terra Del Sol. It has a heated sand floor, bright, re-energizing lighting, and incredible hand painted walls. I love sitting in the hot and cold tubs before and after my treatments, as it is included. My treatments at Terra Del Sol have been the most relaxing of my life! If you visit one spa in Portland, you owe it to yourself to check out Terra Del Sol!!! You will NOT be disappointed! Thank you Terra Del Sol!!!
Pros: Amazing overall experience, beautiful building, friendly, accomodating staff, central location. Very special, unique experience!
Cons: None
Best Massage in Town, Hands Down.

I just had the "Moroccan Mud Wrapsody". If you have been thinking about getting a full body massage, the Moroccan is the one to get. I was washed with sea salt, painted with basaltic mud, steamed under a canopy, and then massaged with oils, all for over an hour! The feeling of my skin being so clean and healthy with my muscles being relaxed from the massage was pure heaven. And all of this was done in a dimmed private setting with very soothing music flowing through the room. My tired feet were also treated to the Cinque Terra Footbath. First my feet were washed from a fountain that showers down from the ceiling, and placed in a hammered copper tub filled with very warm stones. Next I had an exfoliating scrub from the knees down, mud painted on, then wrapped and covered in hot towels. Afterwards the mud was washed away and I chose a mint oil to be massaged in. I can't remember a time my feet felt finer. Total Luxury. I can't say enough about the incredible employees and owners of Terra Del Sol. Everyone goes out of their way to make your time spent the best it can be. I love this place!
Pros: Quality of service, Ambience, Cleanliness.
Cons: None, It was amazing.
Awesome facial!
02/19/2009 Posted by scoobarugirl
I went to this place with a recommendation from a friend. It is BEAUTIFUL! I didn't realize it the first time, but you can sit in their hot tub before or after your appointment. Awesome. It The girl who did my facial was so sweet! She did an awesome job and my skin looked and felt like a babies butt after she was done with it! She also did my eyebrows, which needed a lot of work... I got quite a few compliments on them afterward! It's kind of a spendy place, buts the services provided are well worth it! I was very surprised to see the bad reviews. I've been back twice now and have always had a great experience. Can't say enough good things!
Pros: Skills and atmosphere are great!
Cons: Kinda Spendy
The most relaxing Spa I've ever been to!

I definitely give this spa a full 5 star recommendation. After a long work week I found myself needing a day to relax so I made an appointment at Terra Del Sol Spa and Salon. Christi and her staff were absolutely wonderful. I've never seen so many nice smiles. Everybody there was in a great mood and I felt like a King for my entire stay. Drinks were available and that was a very nice touch as well. I went for the back facial first, which I had never had done before, and it was amazing...like a facial for your back with steam, hot towels, and a great massage mixed in. Afterwards I headed to "The Grotto" where I proceeded to relax upon heated sand at the beach, lean back in the jetted hot pool, melt away any remaining tension in the steam room, and finally cool down in the Atlantis Cool Dip...cool pool. Lockers, thick robes, big towels, and sandals were provided. Everywhere you look in this building, the cleanliness, design, and craftsmanship is just amazing. It's not just another spa, there's something extra special about Terra Del Sol. It's luxury and I will definitely return.
Pros: Luxury, Service, Quality, Cleanliness
Cons: None, I had a great experience.
Well, my experience was GREAT!!!

My girlfriends and I have been going there for months and can't say enough about it! I've been to many spas in my life, but never have I experienced such a relaxing atmosphere in a place as luxurious as TDS. The services are wonderful and at a fair price, especially if you pair it with the grotto(if you don't know what it is, you gotta go see it!). Aside from the services and the building, my favorite part about this spa would be the ladies there. You would think at a place as nice as this, the staff would be cold and stuck up(exactly what I've gotten from places like Dosha and other "high end" spas in the Pearl). Bottom line, this place is great for new mothers like me who don't much time to devote to taking care of themselves. It's nice to know that I have an exotic getaway only blocks from my house where I can FINALLY be treated like a queen! Thanks Christi!
Kauia is a Rockstar!!!

Kauia is always in a great mood and always does exactly what needs to be done to my hair. I have such faith in her that I tell her she can do whatever she likes and when I go out after it's done I get tons of compliments! I would never go to anyone else. Another positive is that the new spa she works at is BEAUTIFUL and AMAZING!!! This is a must see place!!!
Pros: relaxing!!!
Cons: none

Baccalaureate Party Bliss!
When we started planning our 5-girl weekend extravaganza to celebrate our amazing friend, Caitlin's engagement, I hadn't imagined we'd find a dream land! All five of us girls had such an amazing experience from start to finish. After speaking with Christi (owner) about how special this was, she went above and beyond to make it PERFECT! We were greeted with fun champagne jungle juice, then escorted to our individual treatments. The atmosphere in the treatment rooms takes you out of the city and transplants you onto your own, private Greek island. All five of us met up in the changing parlor to compare experiences/treatments, and we were all in a trance, maybe even hypnotized! Three girls received massages, and two of us received facials. Each therapist had a gentle touch and a calming aura. This isn't it though! They made sure we stayed hydrated with plenty of water and had a complete set-up, with fresh rose petals, chocolates, bite-size snacks and champagne to celebrate. We reminisced for 2 hours migrating between the steam room, sand room, cold plunge and of course the heated pool. At the end of our outrageously, special weekend, we all agreed our time at Terra del Sol Spa was the highlight!
We can't wait to come back!
Thank you Christi and your amazing team!

Dear Chrisi and Staff,

Terra Del Sol Spa,

“You really should check out this new spa in NW Portland. My girlfriends and I arranged for a once-a-year “spa weekend” together, and this year serendipity intervened with a snowstorm at the coast, canceling our trip to a spa & stay out there.
We were fortunate to have heard about Terra Del Sol Spa, and even more fortunate that right now it is a hidden gem, because we all 4 got in for massages with quick notice.
The owner was great; she gave us a tour of the whole facility, which has been beautifully renovated into the spa. Massage treatments include access to the lovely whirlpool tub and cool soak tub as well as the heated “sun room” complete with sand floor, light therapy and a beach mural.
I’d like to go back for a pedicure, as those facilities look great as well. We were pampered the entire time, with wine, tea, and snacks.
Check it out before it gets too booked up!”
Christi & Staff,
Thank you for an enjoyable & relaxing experience. We loved every minute of it.
All the best to you & Terra Del Sol.

Your service was completely incredible! I can not stop talking about the most amazing birthday ever! From the moment you walk in the door and after each treatment I was greeted with a smile and can I get you anything. You all made me feel like such a queen. It was so unbelievable I am still pinching myself. Did that really happen? Love it! Can't wait to see you on Wednesday!
