The most amazing experience. My daughter wanted to treat me to a spa and boy, did she hit the spot!!! Relaxing, unwinding, just what you need to unplug. The foot detox was great and surprising, the infrared sauna very comforting and pain relieving and the salt cave was out of this world wonderful. Do not hesitate about this place. Next time I go to Denver again, this is my one stop i wont miss for sure. Now to put the cherry on top of the cake was Maria and the so heavily massage. I had never in my life experienced such amazing hands operating miracles in my body. I had been to different massage therapists, but NOTHING compares to this. Honestly, you cant get any better. Definitely 100% recommend. Loved everything ❤

We love the salt cave! It’s awesome and relaxing, but then again, we always go last minute when we see that there’s no other people booked. So we never had noisy people ruin our experience.The reason for the low rating are the owners, who are also the reason we will not return.When we first started going they had friendly front desk employees, who made the place inviting.At some point over the last year, the owners took over front desk duty and made the place really uncomfortable, kinda military. No smiles, no welcome, just mild disdain that we didn’t book in advance. She always acts like, oh, let me see if I can fit you in, you should’ve booked online, when we know the place is empty. I go there to relax, not to deal with her (and his) absolute lack of customer service skills.Do yourselves a favor, and hire a friendly front desk person, because you are alienating a lot of clients.

Cool experience - relaxing and the inside of the salt cave is very unique. Great find for a “me” day to de-stress! I was also able to book a spot the day of, which was really nice.

A fantastic experience - wish I had booked more!First, customer service was extremely accommodating after I wasn’t able to make my salt cave appointment. They applied the $40 to my massage since I’m from out of town and wouldn’t be able to use it later.Second, Alex gave an amazing massage! I told her I was tense from weight lifting and she didn’t hold back. The perfect amount of pressure to relieve my muscles yet still allowed me to relax. I’ll have to come back!

We ended up having the cave to ourselves midweek. The staff was friendly. The place was clean. It was very relaxing. I have no other salt caves to compare it to, but suspect its much the same everywhere. The floor is salt grounds, so its like walking on sand. And the lighting is dim for relaxation purposes. Now, I personally like all of that, but think about my mom who is a little unstable on her feet. Would not recommend for anyone with a balance issue, unless they have someone to help them to their beach chair. They did offer blankets, since it can be a little cooler and youre not moving around. I loved it, but not sure if I received any benefits. My guess is it would need to be a regular thing for benefits.

Amazing healing sanctuary in the city! The salt caves are magical. I am in complete bliss after a session. Recently, I attended their Sound Bath and also Breathwork workshops in the salt caves, both were amazing! The facility itself is very clean and inviting. The owners Marcus and Stephanie are lovely, very welcoming and professional. They go the extra-mile to make sure patrons have an enjoyable experience. For anyone looking for a little Zen while improving their heath....the 5 star salts caves are definitely worth checking out!

This was my first time to visit this heavenly spa. My friend and I were gifted a day at the spa for my birthday. Everyone was so kind, genuine, and friendly! We started with the ionic foot bath, which was wonderful and very insightful! Next was the sauna, which was so relaxing!! The salt cave was an amazing experience, it was so relaxing and I cant believe how much better I am breathing! We finished the visit with massages! I am so happy to have found this magical place and cant wait to schedule another visit! Thank you!

The 5 Star Salt Cave Wellness Center was absolutely fantastic. I had just gotten over a sinus infection and a round of antibiotics and a session in the Salt Cave was absolutely incredible. I felt 100% better immediately after my session. Highly recommended and I will definitely be back. Such a healing experience.

I visited the Salt Caves Wellness Center for the first time today, I did the Detox Package, and I feel so great. The infrared sauna was amazing, the foot bath was so cleansing and the salt caves was a great way to wrap up my day. I will definitely be visiting again.

This was my and my daughters first experience going to a salt cave, and I wasnt at all sure what to expect, but it was wonderful! We were given clean, soft blankets to wrap in which made it all the more relaxing as we reclined in the quiet, darkened cave with soothing music lulling us into what I can only describe as meditative bliss! We followed the salt cave with an ionic foot bath - also the first time weve experienced this. I dont understand the science behind it, but was amazed at what I saw and felt - it was so cool! The staff were friendly, and the facility was immaculate. We will definitely go back, and hopefully will get to try the infrared sauna too.

Would have been nice. I received this wonderful gift of massage for mothers day from my adult children. After my appointment was made online, using my gift code, I proceeded to go about my day, yesterday, Saturday, July 17th 2021 which was fully packed due to a family party we were hosting at our home. I got up this morning, Sunday and proceeded cleaning up the after party and completely spaced my 10:00 massage. The Salt Caves guy called me and left a message, this is how I remembered my massage; unfortunately, it was too late. It would have been nice to get a text reminder. They sent an email yesterday, I dont have this particular email connected to my smart phone; I never had time to get on my, at-home-computer to check emails. Now my gift is obsolete; I dont get another opportunity to reschedule. I feel completely cheated. :-(

Been coming here for years and this place is amazing. I recommend everyone try the cave especially if you have breathing issues and with how bad the pollution is in Denver it is so helpful. Foot detoxes are also great. Last time me and my husband got massages and was impressed with their therapists. The people who run this place are super nice and have great energy which makes this place super special.

Customer service is absolutely amazing and this is the most beautiful place in all Denver...the salt cave is a dream!I needed to find a fully vaccinated massage practitioner and the owners Markus and Stephanie went above and beyond to help me with my request.And then Ive had the great pleasure to receive a wonderfully relaxing massage by the very kind and fully vaccinated Alex.I highly recommend this place - it feels like a holiday at the sea.

We just love coming here 2 - 3 times a year to do their detox treatments. It is a great time to spend it with a few friends or family. I fall asleep every time I do the cave. The foot detox takes the toxins out of my body and I feel so much better afterwards. I highly recommend coming here.

Enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere at the 5 Star Salt Caves. There is so much Himalayan crushed salt on the floor, its like walking at the beach. The salt cave that has over 13 tons of Himalayan salt in it making it a little oasis to rejuvenate. Loved the shop that they have at the front of the store. Make sure to check out the lemongrass & Himalayan salt soap, its the perfect gift!

In looking for something to pass the time away before a flight I decided to check 5-star. I was able to get a same day appointment (I recommend doing it advance). The staff was very welcoming upon arrival and prior to leaving. They were also knowledgeable in providing information about the benefits of salt. I was very relaxed during and after the visit. I felt great before my flight. Check them out! Good vibes and good energy.

First, I am so grateful for such a kind, lovely staff who answer the phones and operate this salt cave. I so appreciate their customer service and accommodations! The experience in the salt cave is amazing. My first time in their salt cave was for my and my friends shared birthday celebration in April 2019: we reserved the room for our private party, and our guests were impressed and had a relaxing, healing experience: almost all of our 12 guests have returned on their own to enjoy this experience again in the last year. I have my next appointment booked and am excited to bathe in this wonderful environment that includes thoughtful, nourishing staff and little touches. Thank you! I highly recommend a visit, solo or with friends. Calming, inviting, healing and just-what-I-needed.

My review on the 5 Star Salt Cave Wellness Center incorporating a sound bath of crystal bowls.I gifted my husband a special singing bowl event for Christmas! Heres how it went...A bit of background: Halotherapy (salt therapy) clears pollens, viruses, pollutants, and toxins out of the lungs, and nasal passageways, preventing illness. Your respiratory tract will feel rejuvenated with the regular use of halotherapy.While in the cave, I definitely noticed I could breathe more easily and it seemed to have been like magic because my nasal passages opened right up so I could breathe deeply and fully.Sound baths use repetitive notes at different frequencies to help bring your focus away from your thoughts. Generally, these sounds are created with traditional crystal bowls, gemstone bowls, cymbals, and gongs. Each instrument creates a different frequency that vibrates in your body and helps guide you to the meditative and restorative state. Similar to how a yoga class works, each instructor has their own way of creating the flow of a sound bath. Essentially, a sound bath is a meditation class that aims to guide you into a deep meditative state while youre enveloped in ambient sound played by a sound therapist.I did some research on this before, and studies proved that music (in general) can lower blood pressure, decrease pulse rate and assists the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for digestion and some metabolic processes. By using particular combinations of rhythms and frequencies, it is possible to shift our normal beta state (alert, concentrating, reacting) to an alpha (creative, relaxed), and even theta (meditative state) and delta (deep sleep; where restoring and healing can occur). This was our first time, and it left me feeling calm, relaxed & recharged.When we walked into the salt cave at 5 Star, it had spots set up for us with blankets and reclining chairs. It looked like a professional napping set-up, and I was instantly in heaven. The first 15 minutes were filled with breath work and I kept getting distracted by the performance of the instructor. Then I started focusing on the sounds, the environment, and my breathing, and something changed. By the last hour, I felt like I was asleep but was also fully aware of my surroundings. It was wild — I tried to get into a meditative state, and quiet my mind.Not all sound therapists use the same instruments, either. But they should all share the goal of leaving you feeling refreshed and relaxed. Take your time finding the right sound bath for you and treat it the same way you would find your favorite exercise class: through trial and error.The Bottom Line (and the Small Print)Sound baths can be an excellent way to meditate, especially if youre in a rut with your usual self-care routine.However, not every sound bath, nor every persons experience, is the same.Some people find sound baths challenging, and it isn’t unusual to feel frustrated the first 20 or 30 minutes as you work to clear your mind. But as long as you try to focus on the sounds, your breath, and being present, you will likely experience some level of relaxation, even if you dont reach a meditative state.By the end of the session, I wished it was longer, like when you go to a good massage session. It was worth the cost & I would definitely do it again! 👍

Pretty interior and nice staff, but I had issues with the rushed experience using their Infrared Sauna. First of all, they book their sessions back to back, with no time to change (or properly sanitize) the sauna room. I arrived early as I was told to, but the previous sauna users were running behind (understandably - there is no transition time), so my sauna session was cut short. I watched the timer in the sauna, I didnt sit down until 28 mins, so Id already lost a minute. Then, when I had a full 8 mins left on the timer, they adjusted to 0 (or maybe it happened automatically). Regardless, customers shouldnt get skimped because the owners refuse to provide 15 mins transition between customers. I paid for 30 mins, but only received 20 mins in the sauna :(

A peaceful oasis in Denver. I didn’t know much about the benefits of salt, but my first session was guided by the owner herself. There is nothing but a vibe of peace and wellness in this establishment. A wonderful way to renew and set intentions for the week ahead!

Review №34

Neat ambiance. Very relaxing. I have a cold and after 2 minutes on the salt cave I could breathe through my nose! Don’t worry...from my research, salt absorbs bacteria and creates an almost sterile environment. Germs can’t survive in a salt cave:) Will definitely be back!

Enjoyed a unique and enjoyable experience in the salt cave. It was very calming and relaxing. The cave is smaller than I expected and each session can seat up to 9 people so you most likely will share the room with other people. There were 4 other people during our session. They dim the lights and provide ear plugs and cough drops (for some reason the salt seems to make people cough). They provide you with a blanket. I got really, really cold during the session so was happy to have that blanket. They play relaxing music but part of the music sounds like running water which, yep, made me feel like I needed to use the restroom 1/2 way through. Not really able to relax after that. I did bring my own music to listen to which helped a lot. I did feel like I could breath better afterwards and felt calm but not sure if there was any other noticeable benefit. But the price is decent and I would recommend people to try it at least once. I will most definitely be back to do the foot bath and maybe try the salt cave again.

I seriously cant say enough good things about this magical place. As soon as you walk in, the atmosphere is so welcoming... and all the beautiful salt lamps leave the air feeling SO good. The team were all friendly, warm and kind. And the salt room... WOW! This was one of the most relaxing, profoundly still moments Ive had in ages. I felt like I was on another planet, surrounded by the salt and the starry ceiling. It was simply magical. They were so kind to squeeze my friend and I in for a last-minute session today, and Im SO glad they did. We were both enchanted. I cant wait to go back with my boyfriend for a meditation session in the salt room, and try out some of their other treatments as well!

5 star experience. Our family had a bit of a cold, so we all went to the kid time in the salt cave. It was great, our 5 month old seem to be happy there, she does seem a bit healthier today. Our 5 year old did seem to light up a bit in the cave. We also got to have about 1 hour of uninterrupted family time, which was worth it! My Wife and I both noted our sinus felt better and so I think it is very medicinal. It is worth a trip here!

Relaxing and amazing sound healing experience in salt caves. Some prior reviews mentioned noises from other participants during silent meditation time. The place gives you ear plugs and you can hear relaxing music, so this was not an issue at all for me.I also treated myself to an infared sauna session prior to salt cave session. Very nice value for spa treatments.

Im so glad to have 5 Star in my neighborhood! Such a gift. Ive tried the foot soak, sauna, and salt caves and left each of them feeling clear, grounded, and totally reset. It is hard to put into words how refreshing they are. I hadnt had experience with any of them and now plan to go back monthly to get my dose of a good, holistic reset. The owners are also incredibly helpful, warm, and friendly. Theyll explain how everything works to you and will set you up for your sessions so you feel comfortable and ready to relax.

Review №54

We went there for the infrared sauna and arrived right on time. The receptionist was not there and did not come up for a few minutes. We thought no big deal these places usually buffer their time between sessions. After 5 minutes of waiting she finally thought to look up front and brought us back and then took a few minutes off our session because they had someone booked after us. They also do not have a shower for you to clean off after you sweat, which is gross because then you have to put your clothes on after youve been sweating. Its also not healthy if you are doing it for detox reasons. Wont be going back.Edit: 2 stars because the atmosphere was on point but would suggest for them to add a 15 minute buffer between sessions and to either install a shower or not offer the sauna as it can be detrimental to your health not to not shower afterwards.

The cave is really clean and makes you feel like you are literally in a safe cocoon. However, the room was full and somebody started to snore. Since it’s a small cave you cannot ignore the sound. I didn’t come out as relaxed I thought I would be and didn’t notice the before/after difference. If I had to do it again, I would probably try a yoga session instead of laying on a chair doing nothing for an hour.

Wow is all I can say! I moved here for California and have not felt well for my first winter due to the cold dry weather. I did the salt cave and feel so much better with no pressure on the sinuses anymore. I just had to buy the salt for my house. I cant wait to go back again as it was so relaxing and the owner very friendly along with his staff! Im going to look into other services as well as its worth the hour drive to get there :)

Heard about this on the radio and there was also a Groupon so I decided to try it. In addition to the salt cave, I also chose the foot detox. Did the detox first and it was very relaxing, but rather alarming to see the water change! There were 2 other people in the room with me and when our time was over and they came to tell us the meaning of the water color we were told to refer to the chart.Next into the cave. It is very cool with salt walls and you walk through salt, almost like beach sand. Everyone had a blanket to use if we liked. Once everyone was set, the lights went down and the music came on and we settled back to look at the stars on the ceiling. It was quite enjoyable with 2 small exceptions, and these have nothing to do with the actual cave or the people operating it, several people in the room fell asleep and snored and the lady next to me decided she wanted to take pictures. Since the room was very lowly lit, her flash kept going off.I will definitely go back and maybe bring earplugs!

Extremely difficult to get to and find parking. They never mention that to you so unless you live in the neighborhood directly surrounding it, plan on at least an hour to get to it if you have to cross town. We had trouble finding parking last time, so scheduled a later appointment this time in order to find parking within a block. Took us an hour and a half to cross town. Very frustrating. They told us we had to bring socks and since I was already on my way I did not have any with me and had to stop for some. They are not very understanding when you’re bringing a child from the Children’s Hospital.
