Descanso Garden Spa

What is the typical tip on a 110 scrub massage? It's my first time, and I don't want to seem cheap.

I usually tip 20%, as they do a lot of hard work-scrub from top to bottom!

Are any scrub wet rooms private?

I'm not sure but call them!

Can I wrap a towel around waist in the spa area or is it fully nude?

You can use towel in the wet area (:

How much is the one day pass?

$30 and well worth it.

Do you go barefoot or should I bring flip flops?

Per their policy online: "Take your shoes off after Check-In and take it with you to your locker and store it IN your locker."

Can you be naked for your massage? I'm male. Prefer female masseuse.

I dont think you have a choice. But, there is an option to purchase a disposable bikini, you may be able to wear that

She was so specific with her application of the cleansers, and creams etc that I realize I need to tone down the way I treat my own face by aggressively taking off my make up and cleansing and hopefully, helps keep my skin amazing. My skin feels super clean, and has been glowing all day! Ill definitely be back monthly for a facial here. I dont think Ill be a monthly member however (even if I have to pay more for certain up grades like green light or diamond facial) as the spa itself needs a facelift and does not give off 'high end spa' vibes. (chandelier at front desk had many globes with bulbs out, bathrooms were dull and NO clean or bespoke scent common with spa's)

This review is long overdue…read more I have been going to RA Organic Spa for over 20 years. I have visited other resorts and spas, but I'm always grateful that I found RA and can keep coming back. The feeling of comfort and serenity is abundant the moment you walk in. They greet you by name when you arrive and again when you leave. The lobby is small but very welcoming. They offer plenty of products for purchase, but they never hard-sell you. When you check in, there is a small waiting area where you can sit with hot tea, water, and small snacks while you wait. Please make sure to turn off your cell phone--this is a quiet zone, so whispering or no talking is encouraged. The dim lighting really makes you feel like you've stepped into another world. There is also another waiting area in the back if you need to change into a robe for your service. There is actually a lot of space back there to relax while waiting. The treatment rooms themselves are warm and comfortable, and each room has a closet for your personal items. In the back area, they also have changing spaces and lockers. There are two changing areas, along with a room that has chairs specifically for foot and neck massages. I highly, highly, highly recommend the foot massage. They take it to the next level because they start with your neck and arms before moving to the foot massage. I dare you to try not to fall asleep by the time they're done. I have seen the spa when they are busy and when they are slow, and I have never seen it dirty or unkempt. The level of cleanliness and the standards maintained by the staff have always been excellent. I've never had trouble booking an appointment. I've also given gift certificates to family members and friends, and three people I know now go there regularly because of those gifts. Their prices are by far some of the best in the industry. You simply cannot find a facial at the price they offer at RA. I've looked, and I can't find anything comparable. If you want a facial, I highly highly recommend Maria. She has truly turned back time on my skin with the facials she gives me. She listens to your needs and walks you through the products she uses to make sure they match what your skin needs and what you're looking for. She genuinely cares. Under new management, they have recently added online booking through their website, which is wonderful. I'm looking forward to another great 20 years going to RA--ugh, I just aged myself! A few additional notes: they do have a sauna, bathrooms, and one bathroom includes a shower. Parking can be a little tricky. There is structure parking and street parking, but the street parking is timed. I do have a great parking spot that I like to use... but I can't tell you where it is. It's my secret spot. Sorry!

My day started with being shown where the changing/locker room is, what to do next and where the lounge area is. There are waters and cups and plenty of seating to choose from while you wait. The fireplace really elevates the lounge. Lana did my CBD oil massage. She was very kind and made sure I was comfortable. I'm not experienced with massages so I had a bit of trouble letting go control of my arm at one point, but she reminded me to relax. Afterward she brought me a drink which is probably normal for them but it was really nice lol. Again I'm not a seasoned spa goer. I really enjoyed the massage though. Next I tried out the sauna for a few minutes which was clean and very relaxing. Up next was my copper bath. When I stepped inside, I felt like royalty because it's set up so pretty with candles and flowers, it's a really nice tub with jets as well. I didn't want that to end haha. Next came my clarifying facial with Arely. This consisted of chemical exfoliation, extractions, an LED mask and a peel. She massaged me a bit as well which was nice. I wasn't sure if the extraction process did anything however because she applied no pressure to extract, it felt like just tapping on areas of my face but it's not a big deal. I can extract at home. The rest was relaxing! I finished the day off with Danielle, who was absolutely phenomenal. She told me exactly what we're doing and made me feel comfortable. First was the scrub, then she got a shower ready for me to rinse off and then brought me fresh water for after. Next came the body melt which smelled fantastic and felt really moisturizing. Danielle went out of her way to even give me a scalp massage and she sent me home with some of the body melt she used. I finished my day feeling at peace, soft and in a great mood. I do think I accidentally left my socks in my robe pocket but it's ok. No pictures because this was a total unplug day for me. No devices, no social media, just being present in the moment. Highly recommend this spa! I already decided that I want to make this an annual thing that I do each year for myself. Thank you Larchmont Sanctuary Spa!

We called and asked for a couples massage and when we got there it turned out they didn't have a room that could fit two so we were separated into separate rooms. Which is about 5or 6 curtain style rooms. Would have been nice to know that it was singles. Massage wise: I had the deep tissue and noc definitely earned her tip. I have an extremely tense back and prefer a harder style and when her fingers couldn't get in there, she asked if I wanted her to step on my back. I accepted and she was extremely delicate and gradual on applying pressure which was really nice. My girlfriend got the Swedish because she has a sensitive back. She was able to adjust pressure and liked the kneading pressure. It was right down the middle for her experience wise. Price: The menu that says 60-70 (a month ago) on here Is old and it's now 70-80. So that was shocking. Overall: She wished for better rooms and ambience and you can definitely hear the other patrons. Good if you're in the area and don't mind that.
