    I'm used to getting massages at actual spas so this was a horrifyingly terrible experience. I scheduled a Swedish massage with hot stones for myself and a deep tissue with hot stones for my husband. We when arrived, we had to wait 10 minutes which wouldn't have been so bad if it weren't for the employees whispering and peaking around the corner at us while we were in the lobby. They put us in a room together which we didn't ask for, like a couples massage, they just assumed. I asked for the masseuse to be more gentle when she started and I'm not sure if she understood me well because she wasn't that gentle. The worst part was the hot stones. They were too hot for the masseuse the handle but they tried to put them on us anyway. We had to have them remove it on our bill because they were too hot to put them on anybody or anything! They even left burn marks on my back. The spa is also covered in dust, the fish tank is disgustingly filthy, and had a musty smell in the rooms. They also refused to give a refund for the horrible service that was provided. The owner and employees will not take responsibility for their actions and inactions (see the owners response below). I have also updated my pictures with timestamps of the burn in question. I still have the mark 2 weeks later and it didn't show up right away, before we left the spa. I am also not from California nor do I live there to have the time to go back. I would never recommend this place.

    You are greeted with beautiful decor.

    Fast forward to Jan 2026... Oh Cascade Spa, how we've missed you!!! Came here once again to spend quality time with my nearest and dearest just because...every month should be Galentine's Day, LOL! We enjoyed the Jade Package this time, which is similar to the Ruby Package we did last year, except there's a whole body exfoliating salt scrub. Give it a try, your skin will feel baby soft! Same wonderful service with friendly staff directing you where to go next...totally impressed with their efficiency, and we didn't feel rushed at all throughout the treatments. Thank you Cascade Spa, we're already looking forward to the next time! CHEERS till then...

    Very disappointed by this place. PRO: the place is heavily decorated with unique, dark, Asian furniture and items. CONS: no relaxing music, no heated pad, massage felt rushed and my skin felt like it was being tenderized and moved up and down with no purpose. Masseuse doesn't speak a word of English, couldn't explain to her how to slow down or adjust pressure. Very disappointing.

    Been here twice . The first time was in 2021? And it was nice but the rush you so no time for you to feel relax The second time, we assumed maybe if we went before they closed, they wouldn't rushed us . It was the same . We haven't been back since . My only favorite thing are the cute little sandals they give you to wear . Wish I could take em home. Don't forget to grab some tea ! That is the best part as well

    I came here with my mom for an afternoon of massages and it was delightful! From the steam room to the foot massages to the full body massage, they treat you like royalty and it's such a relaxing experience. Tip: parking is tricky so make sure you park nearby in this lot: 3841 Fourth Ave, San Diego, CA 92103.

    I really needed a massage so I started looking for spas on yelp. I was able to find some good packages at cascade spa. I was a bit skeptical about going into the town because of parking, but I decided to give it a shot anyway. As soon as I reached, to my surprise, cascade spa had reserve parking. This was super helpful. As soon as we entered the spa, we felt like we were in another world. They have some really beautiful wellness themed decor. While we waited for our appointment, we were served some complimentary champagne. The wait time was not a lot. The rooms were relatively clean. The massage itself was very good. My masseuse did not speak a lot, this did not matter a lot to me. It was truly a relaxing experience. I liked how everything was efficient overall. Next time I'm hoping to try a package with most services bundled. The prices are affordable, and the service is good. If you are looking to get pampered, I highly recommend this spa.

    Cascade has not disappointed me yet! My husband and I have done the Couples Staycation package & Couples Hot Stone Massages individually. Both priced extremely fair and honestly you won't find it much cheaper compared to a lot of spas out here in San Diego. For the quality of massage, relaxing aura, and friendliness from front desk and masseuses, Cascade has been really lovely. Another plus for me - Alan also listened to me when I asked for medium/not hard massage and was extremely respectful with sheet placement which I appreciated so much!

    We enjoyed our jacuzzi time, body scrub and polish and 60 min body massage. I felt like I was in Asia because of the beautiful, authentic decor inside from the waiting area to the hallways in the back. It is a big place and it kept on going. The employees were accommodating, professional and kind. We got the CASCADE SPA SPECIAL PACKAGE: JACUZZI AND BODY MASSAGE 110 min: $175 I recommend it!

    Dirty floors
    Klaudya Y.

    We've been coming to Cascade Spa for a few years now. The massages themselves are good, that's the main reason we've continued to return. However, cleanliness has been a consistent concern. The showers are often visibly dirty, with hair and debris on the floors. The showers don't appear to be cleaned regularly, the walls are dirty, and basic amenities are frequently missing. On our last visit there was no body soap or conditioner, only an almost empty bottle of shampoo and no hand soap available, which is unacceptable in any facility, especially a spa!! The shower / locker area tend to smell musty, and the furniture looks worn and not well maintained. The steam room also appears poorly cleaned and gives the impression of infrequent sanitation. Considering the prices are not inexpensive and the spa is consistently busy, it's reasonable to expect a much higher standard of hygiene and upkeep. With proper cleaning protocols and attention to maintenance, this could easily be a 5-star experience. I'll look for a better / cleaner spa!

    Entrance area

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! My partner and I booked the couples staycation and we had a relaxing time. Staff was helpful and friendly. Can't wait to come back!

    So peaceful in here!

    Ask the Community - Cascade Spa

    Am I able to pay for and book the staycation couples package over the phone?

    Yes

    For the Cascade Couples Staycation/Vacation Escape - is the $298 price total or per person? Also,…

    Thank you for reaching out. Yes $298 is for the couple for $20 more you can have. Prenatal massage. As part of the package you use either the jacuzzi or the steam room. We can ask give to you Himalayan salt sauna ( not too hot) during tea time

    Does a massage include sauna or hot tub?

    Look like it does not cover cost - separate charges (per comment below) - deal breaker for us - went elsewhere

    Do you all have a steam room?

    Yes

    Does the massage come with use of the jacuzzi and sauna? If not, what is the price for using only jacuzzi and sauna?

    Hello, unfortunately we do not offer this by its self, it how ever is included in many packages and can be added to a massage service for $25 each item and due to it being private we do limit the time.

    Can I purchase a gift card online for a friend to get a massage or call in and pay?

    Sorry we don’t take the payment over the phone but you can call pay with zelle

    Is the couples package priced per person or total?

    Total

    How long does the couples package last?

    Ours was about 2 hours

    If we do the couple's package, will we be able to use the jacuzzi together or is it separate?

    Together

    If we wanted to do a spa day with group, what recommended services are suggested?

    My friends and I did the Ruby package about a month ago and it was perfect. Started with a lavender steam room, then we showered and went to get a reflexology massage and ionic detox with a facial mask and shoulder neck and head massage. Yes all… 

    How much with the cash discount is the staycation package, tried calling but couldn't get through to anybody?

    $285

    Is the pricing for the couples massage per person or total price for two?

    It's for the couple & when you call they will give you more details on how to save if it's cash. We loved our experience!

    Do they offer gift cards/vouchers?

    I'm interested in a prenatal massage, is there a special table that allows pregnant women to lay flat or is it a side lying massage?

    Side lying

    Is your steam room and suana open?

    I just went and it is currently open

    I live out of state and would like to purchase a package for a friend's birthday. How can I do that? I was told they could not take my credit card over the phone. Please advise! Thank you!

    You can find a Groupon online!

    If you purchase a spa package do you still have to pay the general admission of $20?

    You don't have to

    Is the steam room and jacuzzi available for use by anyone getting services or only those who purchased a package?

    I believe it's a package deal

    Is there showers to use after your massage?

    Yes. They had us shower after out foot and facial treatment. And you can shower after the main massage. Its located in the same area as the lockers.

    Can I pay with a credit card?

    Yes

The front desk gal is kind and they give a short form to fill out before the massage where you can circle areas to focus on. The massage therapists are professional, kind, and give very good quality massages. They're not rough or hurry through them. We got the combination massage where we started with the 30 min foot soak reflexology and then moved to another room for a 60 min full body massage. I noted on the form I wanted a massage on my tummy so my therapist worked on that without being asked or reminded. The place is located in a shopping center with plenty of parking. It's not a new bldg or have modern spa-like presence but the place and the sheets feel clean. The AC was not on but they had fans in the room. There is about a 10" gap between the walls to the ceiling so you can hear all the slappin', flappin', and clappin' but otherwise the noise level is fine. They also give a punch card where you get a free 60 mins massage after the 10th visit. Highly recommend!

    I've visited Happy Budda reflexology many years ago and lately have been wanting a treatment to…read morefocus on pressure points on my feet. Long time staple in the convoy area, Happy Buddha has been there forever. Here's the basic info you need to know... They offer Reflexology and regular massages. Reflexology massages are not your normal spa treatment. There is a large community room with reflexology chairs. They don't have flat treatment tables, you don't take off any clothing, and there are no women giving any kind of massage, only men. Regular massages are dung in the back. The reflexology massage starts off with soaking your feet in a warm water bath. Treatment starts at your head and neck working towards your shoulders. They work on your upper back and both your arms. Finishing off with your legs and feet. Very quiet and relaxing you can't beat 60-90 minutes for $35-$50! A minimum 60 minute massage is a must, 90 minutes is even better! Calling to schedule an appointment is the best to make sure it fits within your schedule. Walk ins are available if they don't have any appointments. If you see a guy sitting outside, he's available for a walk in treatment! Don't let a male giving you a massage bother you from giving this place a try. I have received some of the best massages from males... why? They are stronger and can apply more specific and overall pressure! A few other things to note... cash is preferred, but credit cards are accepted. Very limited English is spoken and understood. The parking lot is usually crazy packed. Bring cash for tipping. Enjoy! 2026: 41

    Nothing "Happy" About This Experience…read more This was my second time coming to Happy Buddha. My first visit was an okay experience overall. The only odd thing I remember was a staff member snoring while it was slow, but it wasn't enough to keep me from giving this place another chance. After what happened today, I will not be returning. We came in on September 6 for a 2:00 p.m. appointment for two people for the 60-minute reflexology service. What was supposed to be relaxing ended with me feeling angry, embarrassed, humiliated, and completely disrespected because of my therapist, Tom. At the end of our services, we had tips prepared for both therapists. We simply didn't know which therapist was which and were trying to figure out who the tips belonged to. Instead of giving us a moment, Tom aggressively snatched the money, became visibly upset, and started speaking angrily in another language. I genuinely could not believe his reaction. Why act that way toward customers who were literally trying to tip you? And he did this in front of other customers and employees. That was probably the most humiliating part. I was being publicly embarrassed over a voluntary gratuity when there shouldn't have been an issue in the first place. I immediately approached the front desk because I was so upset. The front desk employee looked shocked that I was even coming to her about Tom's behavior. I told her directly that his behavior was rude and completely inappropriate for someone working in the service industry. I asked her if Tom was always like this, and she told me he behaves this way "sometimes." That honestly made me even angrier. If this type of behavior isn't completely unexpected from him, why is a customer still being put in this position? I asked for my tip back and specifically requested an apology from Tom. He returned the money, but he never apologized. Not once. Instead, he continued saying things in another language in an angry manner and became even more aggressive and unpleasant toward us. I couldn't understand what he was saying, so I won't pretend that I know what was said, but I absolutely understood his tone, body language, and attitude. I did not appreciate being treated that way. The front desk employee told me she would speak with the owner about Tom and have his behavior "corrected." I'm sorry, but I don't feel like that's enough, especially after being told he behaves this way "sometimes." I work in the service industry myself. I understand that sometimes you may be disappointed or frustrated with a customer. But you keep that frustration to yourself and remain professional. You don't aggressively snatch money, openly display your anger, embarrass a customer in front of other people, and then become even more hostile when they speak up about how they're being treated. And your behavior doesn't just reflect on you. It reflects on the entire business. A gratuity is voluntary, not mandatory. Whatever someone's expectations may be, they do not have the right to treat a customer aggressively or humiliate them because of a tip. And for a business called "Happy Buddha," there was absolutely nothing happy, peaceful, or welcoming about this experience. The name honestly feels ironic after the way I was treated. I am genuinely angry and holding back while writing this review. I came here expecting to relax. Instead, I walked out embarrassed, humiliated, angry, and extremely disappointed. I have formally reported this experience because I don't believe this type of behavior should simply be brushed aside. "Happy Buddha"? There was nothing happy about my experience today. I will absolutely not be returning.

So I booked the earliest appointment that worked. I saw a lot of other reviews pointed out that it's inside the Westin, which is true. But they texted me very clear instructions on how to find them so I had no issues there at all. The establishment was impeccably clean. The staff was extraordinarily professional and well trained. Because of a scheduling hiccup, I ended up having two different massage therapist, but both of them were amazing. Truly. I have a regular massage therapist I see at home in New Orleans, so I try not to vary too much. But I end up traveling a lot for work. They did not disappoint. But knots in my shoulders and neck are much improved. If and when I come back to San Diego, I would go out of my way to book with them again
