Sights and fun experiences abound in Nova Scotia, and there is a little bit of something for everyone. Soak up the beauty and serenity to be found in the Annapolis Royal Historic Gardens, or head to Cape Breton Highlands National Park for the stunning landscape and wildlife.

Love coming to the summit spa to see Lindsay, she is so friendly and makes all of my waxing experience so comfortable. Along with everyone in the spa, the moment you walk in you are greeted with friendly faces.

Started the day off with an amazing massage by Don. Participated in one of the rituals in the dry sauna. Many trips to the cold and hot tubs. Afternoon was spent in the heated hammock :) Favourite part would be the wet sauna with salt scrub after. Tip- stay the whole day

During lockdown, I bid for their ‘self serve facial bar’ for myself and 5 friends. All monies raised went directly to staff. I think this was very generous and thoughtful of the owner and I was very happy to help, while enjoying the service. Upon arrival, the staff greeted us and were very friendly. She gave us the rundown of their COVID procedures they have in place. The spa is licensed so you’re welcome to order a cocktail, but in our case, we opted for water. Staff: the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Our aesthetician, Cassie was fun and very interactive with our self service facial. We all had our individual spot at their bar, and it was a neat hands on approach facial, while being supervised and best of all, included lots of hot face cloths! Location: the recently moved to their Spring Garden location and wow is it ever beautiful! The spa is spacious, clean and relaxing. Also a bonus if you’re a Starbucks fan, as it’s located just at the bottom of the stairs from the spa! Parking however isn’t great but that’s also applied to most places downtown. Services: I can only speak on our service with Cassie. Although it was a self serve facial bar, the attention to detail and the wealth of knowledge that Cassie provides for my daughters was just amazing. It’s never too early to educate teens the importance of a great skin care routine. With so much emphasis on bougee brand make ups, the skin care routine often gets lost. Overall, I highly recommend Remedy Facial bar and spa. Whether it’s with your family, with girlfriends or just on your own, I have no doubt that it’ll be pure bliss.

Had a lovely couples massage here with my boyfriend. It was a relaxing atmosphere and the therapists were very professional. After doing so much walking around the city my feet were sore and the massage therapist did amazing feet work. Felt like a million bucks afterword, would highly recommend.
