    60 min whole body massage on class pass is actually reflexology combo- misleading
    Annie S.

    I've been coming here for over 8 years, and the therapists are consistently excellent. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was frustrating due to scheduling issues and how they were handled. Work ran over, and I arrived 18 minutes late to my 6pm appointment. I fully take responsibility for being late. Initially, the front desk told me my session would be canceled and I'd be charged a no-show fee through ClassPass, but they later agreed to let me use the remaining time. When I got to the room, there was a bucket prepared for foot washing. I questioned it since I always book full-body massages, and they told me I had booked a body + reflexology session. Given the limited time left, I asked if we could skip that portion. Another 10 minutes was spent going back and forth with management, only to be told no--leaving me with less than 30 minutes remaining. At that point, the experience already felt stressful and rushed, so I chose to skip the massage altogether and keep my ClassPass appointment. After getting home, I double-checked my booking and confirmed that I had actually scheduled a 60-minute full-body massage, not a reflexology combo. If this was a combo, the service name was very misleading.

    I like to wear loose fitting clothes and a soothing fountain is heard along with relaxing music to escape from a hectic day!

    Amazing! I come once a week as I can't get enough of the wonderful massages at Bao Spa. I highly recommend the combo of massage and reflexology that lasts 90 minutes.

    I don't think I'll ever be coming back. The massage was painful and felt rushed. The reviews made me feel like it would be worth the $70 but I quickly learned that it wasn't. I still tipped $15 but it wasn't deserved.

    How much do 30 minute and 1 hour massages cost?

    Why do you require a vaccine card when no one else does?

    I don't know if they still do. Maybe site not updated. Pls call them directly to ask.

The Santa Monica location has a soft spot in my life as this location was my first Burke Williams experience and I have returned many times, always pleased with the service and kindness of the staff. The initial greeting is warm and professional and I appreciated the tour as I had forgotten where the ladies area is located. The ULTRAfusion facial is heaven and my complexion has never looked better! Every esthetician has been very consistent and I can expect the same protocol at each location and I can't pick a favorite...either spot or person providing the service. I had the pleasure of meeting the manager who took the time to talk for a moment. He must be really busy but I didn't feel rushed. The spa area has charming amenities and I like showering before a treatment and taking advantage of all the goodies in ample supply: mouthwash, cleansers, lotions, etc. Don't forget about the delish tea in the waiting area. Every area was very clean and supplies such as towels were freshened up and always in ample supply. The staff could not be more kind and helpful. The Santa Monica location is easy to find and as an added bonus parking is ample and it's fun to walk to lunch afterwards!

The spa is private; the only people in the entire space are you + the amazing esthetician, Heather. The lobby space is beautiful, green, and inviting. They only use Organic to Green brand products which have very clean ingredients (a huge plus for sensitive skin)! Upon arrival, Heather explained the treatments and we started with body dry brushing + coco oil body treatment. Then, she gave me a scalp scrub + hair mask. This process was probably around 20-25 minutes. Then, I was given one hour total to enjoy the private lounge, infrared sauna (set to 133 degrees F) and steam shower. I spent 25 minutes in the sauna before taking a cold shower using their products, including a lovely body scrub. I also ate a few complementary snacks (mini KIND bars and fruit bars). After that, we concluded with their Signature Facial (~60 minutes) that included steam, aromatherapy, extractions, microdermabrasion, face mask, and much more. All throughout, Heather was very kind and answered all my skincare questions. Would absolutely recommend. I look forward to coming back! Not to mention, the price is really good if you buy the Groupon for the Bungalow Experience. For a total of $160 (Groupon was about $85 with the summer promotion, plus a $75 tip based on the full treatment price), I had 2.5 hours of pure relaxation. I started my day stressed out, and now I feel so much better. TLDR: amazing private spa experience using organic products at a reasonable price! Highly recommend!

I have visited countless spas all over the country, so I write this review with plenty of other good experiences to compare it to. The good: Scheduling was a breeze. I thought it seemed a little unorthodox to not provide a phone number (it seems that appointments are only scheduled via an online form), but I was able to secure the services I wanted on the date/time requested. My husband and I scheduled 90-minute deep tissue massages and facials (60-minute gentleman's for him and 90-minute oxygen for me). Just before we began our massages, a staff member let us know that the esthetician who was supposed to perform my husband's facial called in sick. We were disappointed, but they offered us some products to make up for the last minute cancellation. This was unnecessary and unexpected, but we were touched by the gesture. Additionally, my massage therapist was very sweet. It was an effective and relaxing service. The bad: The spa as a whole simply does not meet the standards of the rest of the hotel (the spa is located inside of the Casa Del Mar). In fact, it feels like the spa was a complete afterthought. The space is super tiny. The relaxation lounge is so small that it feels like you're walking into a closet. The locker room situation - absolutely embarrassing. There is only one restroom, one shower, and no designated area for changing, unless you want to change right in front of the door that could swing open at any moment. Because of this poor locker room design, another guest was changing in the restroom, which just so happened to be the only women's restroom on site. I needed to use the restroom, so I asked a staff member if there were any other ladies' rooms nearby. The only option presented to me was to enter the men's locker room and use the men's restroom. Gross. It probably goes without saying that all of the other basic spa amenities you'd expect to find at a hotel of this caliber, (such as a steam room and sauna, hot tea and so on) are also missing from this establishment. I could've overlooked these issues if the rest of my experience on site was top-notch, and as previously mentioned, my massage was very nice. However, my facial can only be described as hellacious. The esthetician was so aggressive during extractions that I actually burst into tears when I couldn't take the pain anymore. Keep in mind that I receive facials regularly, and have done so for many years. I am familiar with the process. I have NEVER experienced extractions so forceful, and an esthetician so unsympathetic. My skin was unbelievably irritated and inflamed afterwards. Two days post-treatment, and I am still experiencing not only redness and inflammation, but also scabs from the extractions. Unacceptable. I'm shocked and disappointed. I don't want a refund. I don't want or expect anything from the spa or Casa Del Mar in an attempt to make up for this terrible experience. I just wish I hadn't scheduled anything with Sea Wellness Spa in the first place, and believe that other guests should know what they're getting themselves into before visiting.
