I was left completely gooey and needed to wash my face, neck, and shoulders when I got home. A hot towel wipe down would've been nice. I agree with another reviewer that this is not a relaxing facial. Sabine is witty and funny but will talk the entire time about how great she is at waxing, skincare, etc. It was slightly offputting. I am absolutely furious with my eyebrow wax. I declined multiple times because I prefer to do my own. She insisted she would not change the shape and would just clean up. My eyebrows are completely ruined. She overly thinned them, shortened them, they're different lengths from the center, reduced my arch, and have completely different angles. After crying most of yesterday because it's my face, I'm just livid every time I look in the mirror. I'm mostly angry at myself for letting her pressure me. I'm just hoping that they grow back nicely and not patchy so I can fix them. Now, I have to deal with months of the awkward growing out phase if they grow back properly with any luck.

The Welk does not provide bathrobes - for the pools or for spa use. As another reviewer mentioned, no one is at the reception desk, you can't just stop by if staying on property, and there are no online bookings, so you have to call and it is routed to a therapist's personal phone. Ok, third party, I get it, all can be forgiven if my actual experience/massage is good. I arrived about five minutes early to my appt. to find the door was locked even though it was after opening hours posted, that is when I figured out it is because there is no one working at reception, so had to wait for my therapist to see me standing there and let me in. Spa has no amenities, no locker room, no bath robes, slippers, showers, whirlpools, saunas, sun loungers, pool, etc. The Welk should really build out next to their existing such facilities down by the gym building to make it a full spa experience. So be prepared: it is in and out, put your own clothes/shoes back on after being all oiled up. Facility was nice inside, you fill out an in take form and then your therapist reviews it with you, what kind of pressure you want, any areas to focus on, all in the relaxation room, all pretty standard, so I still had high hopes. Nope! I asked for deep tissue and also had the hot stone "special" and really feel she just used the stones to spread oil on me, used the flat side, not the stone edge to make it firm pressure. I don't remember my therapist's name unfortunately. They do charge your credit card morning of, so no check out experience besides leaving a tip. Big miss for me and I think The Welk overall.

I enjoyed my day simply because I was able…read moreto relax by the pool kid-free and enjoy good company, but I don't have a ton of great things to say about this spa. I will start with my pros, then cons. Pros: 1. Their Froze was delicious and refreshing. A nice treat for a warm day! 2. The landscaping and grounds themselves were really pretty. 3. The massage I had was nice. Was it the best massage I've had? No, but I was relaxed and I can't complain about it overall. Cons: 1. SERVICE AND FRIENDLINESS. From the start, the vibes were just off. The demeanor of pretty much all the staff was prickly, to say the least. We were celebrating my birthday, so my mom brought a small box of five cupcakes for us to celebrate my day. She had called ahead and was told this would be fine. However, she was told they do not allow any outside food and drink despite her calling previously. So, they took them and we had to collect them when we left. Fine, no big deal if that's their policy. They should make sure everyone is aligned on that fact though. Then, we asked if it would be possible to shift an umbrella so all of us could have some shade (it was sunny and hot and we are fair skinned). We were told we are absolutely not allowed to move any umbrellas or chairs whatsoever. Again, we are paying close to 1,000 for our day and we can't even shift an umbrella to make everyone comfortable? Wild! Overall there were several small instances of this nature where the staff wasn't very accommodating or friendly. 2. Facilities. WAY too small for the amount of people they book for services. The locker room is incredibly tiny and not large enough for everyone to comfortably change. There are only two women's bathrooms and they are located in the spa locker room. Not close to the pool and there were lines for the bathrooms at multiple times. Overall some of the facilities were a bit run down and cramped. In my opinion, if you're considering a spa day, go to Rancho Valencia. You'll get your money's worth there. Friendlier staff, nicer facilities, better food, and an overall better experience. Will not be booking again at RB Inn.

Julie went above and beyond in every way... from her skill, care, and attention- it was all l exceptional. On top of that, their pricing is incredibly competitive, and the service overall is nothing short of 5 stars. I'm so impressed, grateful, and I can't wait to come back.

But honestly, it turned out to be fantastic and one of the best experiences I've ever had. Ling started with a scalp analysis to check the condition of my scalp before and after the treatment, and the improvement was amazing. I chose the stress head spa treatment, and it was incredibly detailed and deeply relaxing. Joann performed my service, and she was absolutely wonderful--my scalp felt fresh and my hair felt so smooth afterward, and the tonics and products she used smelled incredible and felt even better. Beyond the scalp treatment, she also included a neck and back massage along with some stretching, which was far more than I expected. My mom had a facial with Lily, and we both also got massages from Ling--she was absolutely thrilled with her experience. I can't wait to book my next session. The environment was peaceful, clean, and welcoming. The service was immaculate, and their equipment is modern and top-of-the-line. If you're looking for a truly relaxing and high-quality experience, this is definitely the place to go!
