Botica Spa Massage Playa del Carmen

"Visited the second week of October 2026 while staying at Palmaia in Playacar. After experiencing an overpriced and underwhelming massage at the resort, I decided to look for alternatives outside of Playacar. I found Casa Botica. If you’re using Yelp, the information for Botica Spa (Casa Botica’s predecessor) is dated, meaning the owner, Gina, moved operations to a location a little outside and southwest of PDC central (Quinta Avenida) in May 2026. The location is a multi-story mixed residence and retreat for massage treatments, yoga classes and other activities. I opted for a 2 hour massage and the cost was less than 3x what I paid at the spa at Palmaia. And the massage therapist was much better at Casa Botica. The environment and massage room is quiet and relaxing. Private shower and bathroom. Highly recommend."

"The experience was wonderful. My boyfriend and I were staying on 5th avenue in Playa del Carmen and took a 15 minute ride to the spa. It was so relaxing and just what we needed. We tried out a few other popular couples massages in Playa del Carmen and this was by far our favorite! We highly recommend! 🩵✨"

"Found this place online after realizing the resort's massage prices were kind of insane - so glad we skipped the hotel booking. The resort doesn't let outside massage people come to you, so the spa just handled it: Maria, a driver they trust, picked us up and dropped us off, about 30-60 min each way. Super easy to deal with, too - they mostly do everything over WhatsApp, and Gina (the owner) had it all sorted out for us. Before we started they had us fill out a quick little survey on what we wanted worked on, and they actually stuck to it during the massage. The place itself has this industrial-but-cozy, zen vibe going on - very chill. They've got a shower to rinse off before you start, and they even give you your own little scrub for it, which was a nice surprise. The therapists were seriously amazing, some of the best massages we've ever had, and they use a little sound bowl to signal when it's starting and ending, which felt like such a nice touch. We got the 2-hour massage, and after they brought out tea and a fruit tart - felt way more like a retreat day than a spa appointment. Can't recommend it enough, especially if you're staying nearby and want a good excuse to escape the resort for a few hours. Thanks Gina and Maria for a great experience!"
