I visited in Feb 2012 - after a very long day of travel delays and diverted flights I arrived at 3:30 am to a wonderful front desk greeting and my room was warm and felt like home. The staff is AAA+++! So helpful and friendly. The FOOD is DEVINE! The spa was INCREDIBLE! The local attractions were soo much fun. On my return home everyone remarked how relaxed and refreshed I looked! I will definitely visit again asap!

My new home away from home!
By DanielleP | February 4, 2011

I've been a guest at The Essex Spa for just over a year now, and I'm so excited that it's finally on Spafinder! To me, there's no better spa in the area. Not only is it a spa (in the sense that it offers massages), but it's also got saunas, steam rooms, an indoor pool, a hot tub, and and outdoor pool, which you get free access to whenever you come in for a massage. The service is always great (as a frequent guest, they know me by name-- which is nice) and I haven't had anything less than a great experience yet. Their 'menu' is pretty extensive, but I'm a big fan of the hot stone massage, so that's what I usually get. The rooms are all nicely decorated, as is the lobby area. I actually became a member about six months ago, so I come in frequently to swim a few laps or to use the fitness center (which is small, but it has everything you would need...). I highly recommend The Essex Spa to anyone locally who is looking for a place to get away from it all. If you're a tourist, I suggest the hot stone massage. And be sure to set aside some time so you can really enjoy it. This is not a 'day' spa. It's a day-long relaxing getaway. Love it! (and kudos to SpaFinder for picking you to join!)

Rooms & Dining

Designed with comfort in mind, Essex's 120 guest accommodations create a tranquil atmosphere. Rooms reside within the resort's Main Building, Mansion, and Manor and come in a variety of layouts, from traditional guest rooms to suites to studios. Select accommodations feature gas stoves, kitchenettes, fireplaces, and Jacuzzis; high-speed Internet access is also offered.

Diners have their option among three on-property restaurants. At Amuse, guests are introduced to regional, farm-to-table fare and a wine menu that won the prestige of Wine Spectator magazine's 2009 "Best of" Award of Excellence. Amuse also offers a Chef’s Table option, where diners can enjoy watching their meals be prepared right before their eyes. The inviting pub-type Tavern, popular with guests and locals alike, is a good choice for a laidback lunch or dinner and features live music on Thursday and Saturday nights. A spa menu is offered at each eatery, and specific diets can be catered to upon request.

In addition, the Essex's Cook Academy inspires guests to find their inner chef in an intimate classroom-kitchen setting.
