Botica Spa

I had an amazing deep tissue massage with Andrena from Venezuela. It was honestly one of the best spa experiences I've had in life. The services are personalized and she took the care to ask my allergies and removed that product from reach to not grab it by mistake. She prepared for me a salt scrub to be used in the shower prior to my massage and it was truly wonderful. I want to fly back to Playa just for another service with Andrena. This spa is quaint and in a safe, quiet area. There was a cup of hot freshly made tea waiting for me at the end. So glad I saw the review for Botica Spa on a YouTube travel vlog!

I’ve been visiting Botica Spa since 2017 and it’s by far my favorite spa in Playa del Carmen. In fact it’s the only one I visit, and I’ve tried quite a few other places, but not one even came close. The place is small and cozy and you can feel the love put into all the little details. You are received with warmth and offered water or tea. The products used are all 100% natural and homemade. Before your massage you take a warm shower with a personalized herbal scrub and you can choose between different essential oils. Everything is really private, music is perfectly relaxing, ambience is soothing.
Gina, the owner, is absolutely lovely and knowledgeable and every treatment I’ve received by her or her team was perfect!
I recommend the Botica massage, Herbal Body Wrap and Renewing Facial.

Had THE best massage here last week. The experience was great all around. Very calming and private environment and attentive and informative staff. Would highly recommend for anyone needing some stress relief and talented masseurs. My back is so much better for it! 10/10

Botica Spa is amazing! My experience was truly wonderful and started with a home made scrub to shower before my massage. I got to choose from several aromatherapy options, and The massage was just fantastic. Best deep tissue massage I've had in a long time! Botica is a beautiful spot as well filled with lots of plants and natural light. Highly recommend and will definitely be back next time I'm in town!

This place is amazing, the vibe in there is great from the moment I entered I could feel it. Definitely this place is a place for relaxation and to pamper yourself. The personal working in there is super professional, I really enjoyed the massage I received. Hands down, this is one of the best places I have visited for a good massage! Thank you so much!

My husband and I had an amazing experience at Botica spa. When you first walk-in you are met with an inviting atmosphere and beautiful smells. We were provided water and got to pick out a perfect scent for our massage. My favorite part was showering all the impurities we had on our bodies with a special made scrub. We received a full body massage and facial at a reasonable price. It was amazing! We highly recommend! I will continue to book with this spa when I return.

Botica Spa is a delight. They give you a home made scrub to shower before your massage & you choose your aromatherapy based on your needs. The massage itself was done wonderfully and after she provided a sound bath & tea. It was everything I needed after a long drive. The ambiance of the place itself is beautiful filled with plants and natural light. I will definitely become a regular here.

This wasn’t just a massage, this was a full customized experience. We were scheduled for a massage and facial, and let me say- this was above and beyond! I have paid significantly more for far less.

We were the only couple booked for that time, so the entire spa was quiet and peaceful.

We were greeted with ice water and then they discussed our health concerns and issues and tailored our experience based on our individual needs.

We were provided a shower and given this homemade (great smelling) oil/exfoliant to use. Amazing!

We received a 90 minute massage which included hot pads, reflexology, deep tissue as well as working on specific isolated areas. (I am trying to keep this brief, but there was so much more)

Then onto our facials which included scalp and facial massages.

This is now our ONLY spa and we will definitely return! Do yourself a favor and give them a try! You will not regret it.

We wanted to booked for a group of 8 girls, and the team was so accommodating, organized, and responsive. They were able to schedule us 4 at a time, and were able to securely pay online in advance for our deposit, and the rest after we finished our services. They are so talented, have such beautiful energy, and will know what you need to let your body and mind relax and unwind. They also really took care to create the most tranquil and lovely space. They paid attention to every little detail to create the perfect environment for us. We each had 2.5 hour sessions with a massage and facial, and EVERYONE loved their treatments. We flew in from Los Angeles and New York City, and love to get massages, so when we say these massages and treatments were some of the best in our lives, we really mean it. If you have a chance, book a session with the team.

I really enjoyed the relaxing massage. Everything was perfect, the service, atmosphere, handmade scrab 😊 I would definitely go again and take my husband with me. Thank you!

Botica Spa was able to accommodate my friend and I at quite short notice. The level of service and attention was second to none. From entering the spa, until leaving, you really feel their complete focus is upon you having a perfect experience. The massage was amazing. We both left feeling totally revitalized and rejuvenated.
We’ll be back for sure.
Thank you!

Botica Spa surpasses every massage experience I have ever had! We have visited more than once, but every time we go the experience gets better and better. We have had massages with Nere, Bella, Andrina and Nadia. My most recent was with Nadia and it was the best massage I believe I have ever had. (Although I have experienced Bella’s massage and said the same thing, and my husband swears by Nere, Andrina and Bella!) the entire appointment was custom based on our needs, likes, comfort level and preference for pressure. I guess what I’m saying is… it doesn’t matter to which therapist you are scheduled- you will leave feeling pampered, relaxed and totally zen. Amazing, amazing, amazing!

Such a lovely atmosphere. Calming and so relaxing. I had 2 massages while I was visiting and they were some of the best massages I’ve ever had. Highly recommend Botica spa to anyone visiting the area!!

This place was so good! There were 4 of us that had all different treatments - massages and facials. They were so accommodating to get us all in at the same time. The treatments were amazing and we all loved it! So relaxing and these ladies are very skilled at what they do. Highly recommended!

This is the 2nd time I've been to Botica Spa, and they never disappoint! My brother and I had 90 minute custom massages which were incredible - so relaxing and done in such a calm, rejuvenating atmosphere; a welcome escape from the busy Playa street. The price is so reasonable for the 5 star treatment you receive. Can't wait to come back again soon!

Gina gave me the most relaxing experience I believe my soul left for a moment and came back. The ingredients were so fresh and natural hands down the best massage and the best facial in playa del Carmen… look no further! This is your place. I will be sending my parents there next year and will also hope go back myself as many times as I can.
Now I know where to get the most impressive treatments… and my skin feels and looks great! Thank you Botica spa and Gina! I shall return. Adrienne from Canada

I just had absolutely ecstatic experience at this salon. Wow wow wow. 80 min of absolute bliss. I chose cleansing facial, and my session started with the shower with the salon made rosemary gel. Then as I laid down I had cleansings/exfoliation, massage, masks, a bit of manual pore cleaning and nourishing treatment. And the last - the sound treatment with the bell. Ecstasy!! Highly highly recommend

We had a great experience at this spa. It is small spa but the ladies are very professional! They also give you an herbal scrub made for you to take a shower with before the session! Highly recommend this place !

we got lovely couple massages! The massage therapists were very skilled, I got an amazing deep-tissue massage and released a lot of tension. Recommend them wholeheartedly!

A lovely little place to have a couples massage, which is entirely reserved for you so it’s feels personal and undisturbed. We were quite hot when we arrived but a wonderful rosemary scrub and shower help us cool down and feel clean for our massage. We got to choose from a range of blended of scented oils which was a nice touch. The massage itself was amazing, great continuous contact, pressure was perfect and it felt like the therapists gave you the best treatment of their lives. I will definitely return when back in Playa Del Carmen. Thank you ladies.
