    Relaxation room
    Amanda G.

    Decent hotel spa with friendly, helpful and accommodating staff. Liked that there is amenities such as robes, sandals, steam room along with refreshments and delicious macaroons in the waiting room. Came in before my treatment so I could relax and sit in the steam room for a bit. After my treatment, we went out and sat poolside and had a bite to eat and grab a drink. My facial with Stephanie was excellent. She was thorough and her facial, neck/ shoulder and scalp massages felt wonderful, just what I needed! My skin is on the sensitive side and the products used were gentle yet effective... and smelled really good! I like that she used different facial devices as well. My skin was glowing and looked gorgeous! Improvement recommendations would be to have soft spa music playing in relaxation room and treatment rooms. Was also disappointed in the smaller shower in the women's room-- it had very low water pressure and it didn't heat well. I was looking forward to a nice long luxe spa shower and ended up rushing through quickly because it was uncomfortable. Overall, good spa for chain hotel and enjoyed our relaxing day and especially my treatment!

    Massage time! Super practical entrance through the pool club into the Hilton. There is access to convenience store, deli-bakery-shop, restaurant, and gym on the first lowest level, with access to bar and conference rooms on next floor up. Staff members at Eforea Spa are extremely kind from front desk service to masseuse, Maria. Many options of fragrances from sandalwood to eucalyptus plus many in between are available to choose from to be used as oils for massage treatment. Lockers, bathrobes, spa slippers, and endless toiletries and towels are available to change out of/into. Maria was beyond sweet and instantly had a glass of champagne ready upon exiting door post-massage with her. There's many goodies of fruits and macarons available to pair with champagne offered. Such a relaxing and great experience..absolutely recommend!

    THEY SOLD ME EXPIRED SKIN CARE. NOT OKAY!!

    STAY AWAY! This review is way overdue. Came here earlier this year when my bf and I went to visit SD. I was super excited to have a spa day. Called Eforea since it is conveniently located in the Hilton Bayfront Hotel. We called for a couples massage and was scheduled to come in around 11. Started making breakfast plans and getting ready for the day then got a call from the spa stating that the women's side of the spa was getting remodeled and the couples massage is not available. Oookay, I get it. So, he scheduled for me to get a mani and pedi instead while he got a massage. The lady who did my mani and pedi was very sweet. She took her time and served me champagne while I was getting pampered. She had great conversation, but boy were they big on their up-sell game. She kept on pitching their Image Skincare products to me, which sounded great, so I thought why the heck not. She kept telling me about how it cleared her daughter's skin up so I was sold. I was very excited to try the new skin care products just to find out that THEY WERE EXPIRED. That is NOT OKAY. Expired skin care is like selling expired food if you ask me. This is something I was going to put on my face and she was okay with selling it to me just to make an extra buck. UNACCEPTABLE. On top of that, the skin care products expired back in 2018 and we got our services done in 2019. SHADY!!! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. THEY'LL DO AND SAY ANYTHING TO MAKE AN EXTRA BUCK OFF YOU. Plus, how does the front desk not know to not schedule women's massages when it was being renovated?! Come on! Way to get a girls hopes up and get her pockets empty! They were not cheap products either! Sooo upset.

    I had a massage today with Freida. The spa is inside the Hilton Bayfront on the 1st floor. The atmosphere upon entering is calm. There is a boutique style area with lots of tempting things for sale, from clothes to lotions to jewelry. It's all quality stuff. I bought a romper and some shower enhancer. First I was brought to the "relaxation room" to wait for Freida. This room has comfortable loungers as well as refreshing drinks. Then I was taken for my massage. I bought a 50 minute gentle massage with yoga balm. It was perfect thanks to Freida. She was truly exceptional. Afterwards, I had a nice shower, with eucalyptus shower enhancer, NICE!!! Then I dressed and used their generously provided toiletries. I had a Wonderful experience. I recommend this spa and Freida highly for the future hotel guests And the local community.

    We came here to celebrate a bachelorette party. We had 5 girls in our party, and this was the most recommended "day spa" in the area so we decided to book on a whim. 4 of the girls bought a Groupon for the 50 min massage which comes with the day spa, massage and 3 hour parking. We parked in the structure and headed to the spa. We were greeted by the staff, and the staff led us to the back to give us a tour. You have access to the gym, but I totally forgot my gym shoes, socks and attire. I did bring my bikini for the pool. The pool and jacuzzi is located outside. The pool is cold, so we just hopped in the jacuzzi for an hour. There is a small sauna that is next to the "relaxation room". The relaxation room is where people can hang out, sleep, or wait for your scheduled massages. I went in to sleep, but found that the chairs don't even recline. So basically I was trying to squish myself in a hurled position to be comfortable. There is a small candy dish with nuts, apples, hot water, tea and water. The water was not refilled so basically it's ice. It didn't feel it was crowded at the time we were visiting. There were probably a dozen women we saw come and go, but it was never a time where we felt like invading each other spaces. I didn't see the staff come around often to check on the water, and take the dirty towels/robes. In fact, the towels were overflowing and the towels on the walls were not replenished. There are only 2 bathroom stalls and 2 showers. Also 3 vanities with 2 hair dryers. The lighting is horrible in the vanity area and it was hard to tell how much make up we put on since we had dinner plans right after. The locker area is super tiny with about 20 lockers and 1 small bench. What I noticed that when we checked out, there is an "automatic" 20% gratuity, unless otherwise specified. I didn't care for that, but all the girls paid it. I don't think this spa is good for larger groups as it's a small facility. We only spent 2 hours "spa-ing" and 1 hour getting ready for our dinner.

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.

She is a true healer, and is very gifted in treating lingering injuries. I've been grappling with arthritis in my hands, and have an old shoulder injury that keeps dragging me down. Itzel does great pressure point work and also active stretches that have been very beneficial to my healing. She is professional, courteous, and superhumanly strong! I'm very grateful to have exceptional care at the Knotstop with Itzel and Ryan! Pro tip, treat yourself to the membership.

The first time I came here over a year ago, the front desk guy wasn't friendly and it didn't start my massage in a relaxing headspace. Today, the front desk had two people there and after I was checked in, neither of them thought to tell me there's a lounge that I can sit in while I wait. I'm very obviously nine months pregnant and it's hard to walk down the block at this point. After you check in, you're in this tight spaced gift shop area with no seating and I wasn't sure what to do until I saw a guy in a walker make his way through a room that said lounge across the top. After my massage was done today, I was back in that little gift shop area waiting to check out and pay for my massage. The lady checking out before me took a while so I was just standing there, exhausted with nowhere to sit. I very clearly remember giving the gift card number I was given when I reserved the appointment online, so it was also annoying that when I finally got up to pay, they dint have any of this information. These seems like small things, but they all add up to me having to put in more effort when I'm paying to set time aside to relax.
