I had the most amazing experience at Hawaiian Rainforest Spa (KBR). From start to finish, everything felt peaceful, healing, and truly rejuvenating. Christina is the BEST therapist--her touch is intuitive, her presence is calming, and you can feel her good soul in every moment of the massage. She has a rare gift that goes beyond technique; she creates a safe and transformative space where you leave not only relaxed, but renewed in spirit. I highly recommend this spa and especially Christina if you are looking for a therapist who brings both skill and heart to her work. Mahalo for such a beautiful experience! M.L read more

My husband tried this spa this morning. He did the 80 minute lomilomi massage. He enjoyed it very much and said he felt like Jello. He gives them 4 stars because he said the masseuse didn't give him a scalp massage. Although I regretted not getting to do a massage this time, I'll have another chance later. They have alot of merchandise for sale. Very attractive shop area. They do have a 10 percent off kaamaina rate. read more

Hawaiian Rainforest Spa - Entrance to the spa. - Day Spas Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

First time going to a spa with my wife and didn't know what to expect! Had a great experience as we were guided by Mikela and Christine. We did the honeymoon ritual and I informed to work on my back while my wife wanted to get more shoulder support. Felt very serene and relaxed with the music in the background. Time to Just flew by and we felt completely rejuvenated. It's definitely going to be hard to top this experience, but overall felt great. Highly recommended! read more

Booked a massage on super short notice. I got a wonderful 80 min Lomi Lomi massage. Perfect balance between a feel good and deep tissue massage. The staff was very accommodating despite us showing up about 5 minutes late. The facilities were nice and the sauna was a great finishing touch. read more

I've experienced many whole body massages from different spas. The customer service and care from the receptionist thru meeting our masseuses were professional and comforting. They were extremely careful throughout the massage ensuring that I was receiving the massage in the areas of concern. I can tell that every stroke was being with done with concentration. My masseuse was Isha and highly recommend her! Her voice was very soothing and I wish I had more time!! Thank you Isha, you made my weekend get away a memorable experience! read more

When I checked in at hotel, came straight her to schedule a massage. Therapist was Harley. Spa- for the price I think I expected a real spa experience, such as a lounge you could sit at before or after the massage, a wade pool/hot tub, or seating outside to enjoy the view, a tea cart/stand. It wasn't really a spa. I didn't get any tour of the spa/amenities upon arrival, so maybe they had those things but I just was shown it? I wanted an outside massage on the beach, they informed they had a cabana outside for massages. They stated they had wedding to set up for the day i was scheduled. Of note, I saw the wedding completed and taken down before my massage time. Disappointed they were not able to accomdate me. But the 90 min inside massage wasn't bad by Harley. It was mostly became a therapeutic massage I guess because he found so much tension in my body, but I really wanted relaxation. read more

Dawne, the receptionist, was so accommodating. She made sure to call me right away if there were any cancellations after I requested a day-of 90 minute massage. Not only was Dawne great, but Machiko was the BEST masseuse I have ever had. She went the extra mile to make my massage perfect. It is because of them that I am off to great Birthday weekend. Thank you Machiko and Dawne! read more

The therapist, Isha, was excellent. The wrap and massage combo was relaxing and I felt great after the experience.

I had a massage today with Christina. She was amazing. She paid close attention to what I needed, and they had a nice package of the items that I wanted included. I would highly recommend read more

The receptionist Dawne was outstanding, helpful and funny. My wife and I walked in, not expecting to get in. However, Dawne was able to work her magic and get us both in one after another for a 90 minute full body massage. We both had Ryan, who was phenomenal! I have broken my collarbone a couple of times. Most massage therapist can't get my shoulder and neck to loosen up. Ryan focused on the area and was able to relax it. I'm grateful and we both highly recommend Ryan! read more

I booked a 90 min massage for my wife and was in turn given a 90 min massage and the therapist Mikela was nothing short of fantastic. Top 3 massages of my life. While the price seems a bit steep for the amenities provided and the small size of the spa, the actual massage makes up for it. My wife agreed that her masseuse was equally as experienced. read more

After leaving me review about how my masseuse kept receiving notifications during my massage I was told I would get a gift basket and either someone stole it or there was a delivery issue tho it's marked delivered I didn't get a notification though I set them up however there was an attempt to make it right so I want to make that known. read more

Everything was first class! Angela was professional, personable and excellent at her job.

My partner and I got a Honeymoon Ritual (body massage, scalp, foot, hand treatments). Both of our practitioners (Mikela and Angela) were wonderful -- communicative and thorough. I felt like I was floating afterward! read more

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. It was exactly what my husband and I needed to end our vacation; so relaxing.

What a perfect massage experience. The service is amazing from the front desk to the expert massages from Mikela and Amelia. We felt truly relaxed and valued. read more

It's typical for my wife and I to get a massage while on a vacation or cruise. This time we were celebrating 10 years of marriage. Each of us booked a 90 minute with Angela, and each of us was delighted. I personally booked a deep tissue massage, and the service did not disappoint. Would recommend. And would return myself. The only trouble is, I live in the Midwest... read more

I spent the last hour with Keltie. She performed my first-ever Lomi Lomi massage and it was PERFECT. I cannot say enough good things about the vibe of the spa, Keltie, and Dawne, who helped get me in and out. The music, included extras (dry sauna anyone?), and quality do the massage were amazing. Oh- and there are these amazing eucalyptus cold towels included with your visit- top tier! read more

Had a Deep tissue massage that knocked out some deep knots, and also some unique treatments with my wife as a honeymoon special. Great experience! Jesse was awesome! Absolutely reccomend stopping in during your vacation. read more

The best massage I've had, hands down. Jesse was attentive and took direction incredibly well, and their whole team were able to provide a wonderful experience. If on the island, but definitely, if at the hotel, a massage is a must! The sauna was a lovely way to start things out, and closing out with their front desk team to relaxing cup of tea and lotions was jus the right touches. 10/10 must for a relaxing Hawaiian vacation! read more

Stayed at Kauai Beach Resort and Spa for our honeymoon, decided to treat ourselves and booked a couples massage. We had a great experience! I'm also pregnant and they were able to accommodate with a pregnancy foam insert that allowed me to be comfortable lying down without any pressure in the front. I was looking for a gentle relaxing massage focusing on neck and shoulders and my masseuse Machiko was super! Gentle and effective and checked in with me throughout the massage. They also have a hot sauna patrons are free to use before and after, as well as a variety of tea for after the massage. Didn't have any issues with loud banging noises from the fitness center mentioned in previous reviews. I recommend the rainforest spa if you are staying in Kauai! read more

This spa is located in the Kauai Beach Resort right across the lobby. They required a credit card when I made my appointment. I was hesitant when I saw the negative reviews about Hawaii Rainforest Spa but saw that the reviews were written several years back. I decided to give them a try anyway since I was staying at this hotel while on vacation and wanted to treat myself. Massage 4/5 Jodi was my masseuse and I enjoyed my massage a lot. I loved that she put heavy pressure on my back. A lot of times, when I get a massage, the masseuse doesn't put enough pressure for fear of hurting me. I also appreciated that she wasn't chatty during my massage. She would ask me now and then how I was doing and asked if the pressure was ok but that's it. I can't stand when masseurs talk to me during my massage. Not relaxing at all! Scalp Treatment 2/5 Traci used a coconut oil for my hair and scalp. The massage was fantastic and relaxing but the coconut oil literally took days, almost a week to completely rinse out and even then, my hair wasn't as soft as they claimed it would be after the treatment. Ambiance 3/5 They have a small waiting area with mellow music playing. As soon as I walked in, I could smell soothing fragrances coming from the massage rooms. While I was getting massaged, they had some light, relaxing music playing and I was grateful not to hear any outside noise coming in. There is a locker room and shower available as well. I would return to Hawaii Rainforest Spa to get a massage if I visit Kauai again. The customer service was overall good and their masseuse, Jodi, took good care of me. P.S. They offer a Kama'aina discount! read more

Hawaiian Rainforest Spa - Locker room - Day Spas Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

See all

went with my wife for 60 minutes massage, they recommended the lomi lomi over Swedish. Massage was good, therapists were super nice and good at giving massages. the weight room is next door and was distracting. with 20% tip it ended up being nearly $400 and i don't think it was worth it honestly. read more

I booked a 90 min lomi lomi massage with Angela in a cabana right at the beach. I could hear the waves and feel the wind off the sea throughout the treatment, and that fact in and of itself was incredible. The resort is beautiful, the waves are turquoise, and the air is fresh and clean. Angela talked to me about how lomi lomi is different from other treatments and I found it incredibly relaxing and very meditative. The environment really could not have been more beautiful. Angela recognized I had an issue with tension in my neck (sleeping on the plane) and I decided to add on a deep tissue service during the lomi lomi. So glad I did because I was 100% better after the massage. I really wish I had booked it right when I got to Kauai to get the vacation off to a really relaxing start. I believe in building experiences like this into my travel budget instead of buying "things" that don't always make you feel better. If I ever go back to Kauai (planning on it!) I will undoubtedly head back to this spa. True, it is not a large spa but the service I received was a once in a lifetime memory by which I will measure all future spa experiences! I have been to several high end spas, and this experience was my favorite. Highly recommend the cabana if you can do it. (it is weather permitting) Dawne helped me get checked in, settled in the spa, and led me to the treatment by the beach. She and Angela are both super sweet. Thanks guys! read more

First of all, the front desk concierge gal is amazing. She was so welcoming and helpful. My masseuse Angela, bar none, the best massage I've ever had. She is so knowledgeable and in touch with your muscles. The dry sauna before and after is a bonus. I will definitely be back. read more

From the minute I walked into the spa, I was warmly welcomed and checked in. They two kind receptionists took great care in ensuring a great visit. As for my massage, Mikela did a wonderful job and instantly made me feel relaxed! I will say I think that was the most relaxing full body massage I have ever received! As soon as I returned to the lobby after enjoying the steam room post massage, I eagerly said, "Okay, when is your next availability? Because I could do that everyday!" Truly, take the time to treat yourself and get a massage from this lovely spa. You will feel so rejuvenated and relaxed. Your body and mind will thank you! read more

Booked a couples massage for our 15th year wedding anniversary as we were advised to do. Only to get a phone call later that day telling us they don't have anyone available to do our massage! My husband explained why we booked with them since it was for a very special occasion just to be let down! We felt like we were given the runaround with no effort to help make the situation better! We had no choice but to cancel feeling very frustrated about the whole thing! I wouldn't recommend them since it seems like they want you to book an appointment to come in just to be told they don't have anyone to see you! Very unprofessional! read more

Great Spa! My husband and I booked an appointment the day after arriving to Kauai! It was just what we needed after a day a travel! The massage was great! We got package and had a scrub and wrap as well! read more

Best massage I've had! Ask for Mikela, she knows what the heck she's doin lol. I got a lomi lomi, 90 mins. 10/10 recommend. The manager is also a total sweetheart, definitely coming back - thank you read more

We did the honeymoon ritual with Mikela and Jesse. Great massage and experience. Highly recommend!

My husband and I did the honeymoon massage! It was so worth it! Amelia and Mikela did such an amazing job! They even customized my massage for a prenatal experience. Definitely worth the experience if you're staying at the Kauai Beach Resort! read more

This was my first spa experience, and now I wish I could go every day! Amelia was amazing! I have neck and back pain, and she was so gentle I was able to completely relax. Go see her. You won't regret it! read more

Wonderful massage. Very pleasantly greeted. Calming music. My wife and I both give highest ratings. Amelia and Mikela were great. Our first massage. Won't be our last. read more

My husband and I booked a much needed couples massage. We were greeted warmly upon entrance. They closed the cabana due to strong winds, but it wasn't needed. Both of us requested a Swedish/Lomi hybrid massage. After filling out the forms, we were led into a room. The room was dim and had soothing music in the background. It was probably a better selection, anyway. After we took off our clothes, they came back in and started. Primary focus was on my shoulders, which have been tight for years. The other parts were nicely massaged without pain. I requested a foot scrub and it left my feet soft. Afterwards, they hung around to discuss the session, and gave us tips to stretch out the tight areas. I liked that extra discussion. I obviously won't be back, due to a one time Kaua'i trip, but I highly recommend booking a massage here. read more

I got a massage while staying at the villas next to Kauai Beach Resort on vacation. I had Alicia, I believe, as my massage therapist and she was wonderful. Very polite and I felt completely comfortable with her. I got to experience a massage with hot rocks for the first time. I also added on the warm coconut hair treatment with was extremely relaxing. The locker room was very clean and the front staff was very friendly. Definitely recommend. read more

We booked our massages before arriving to the island so we could have them done within a couple days of arrival to work out the stiffness from a very long day of travel. We have come here for many years due to the high quality of the therapists and the excellent customer service. Upon requesting an appointment on line, we were called within 10 minutes. Dawne was delightful and welcoming at the front desk when we got there and made the check out experience easy. Therapists excellent in tailoring the massage to our needs and requests. We chose the deep lomi lomi couples massage which never disappoints. Lots of needed stretching to tight muscles and fascia. Lovely oils used. Calming ambiance. Isha with 30 years of experience did the best massage Mark has ever had! Ryan with 5 years of experience (and growing up on Kauai) loosened all the tight spots and relaxed the muscles for Alexa. Both were so present, focused, delightful, and had our needs top of their lists. Thank you for helping us to start out our vacation in great shape! read more

Thank you to Dawn, Sophia and especially Harley who gave me a wonderful massage! I was so relaxed after leaving. The spa is so beautiful and calming, if you are at KBR, I would highly recommend checking out the spa, you will not be disappointed! read more

Machiko was great! Very friendly and gave a really relaxing massage. She also did a great job working the whole office alone, since everyone else was sick. I was glad that she was still able to give us massages! read more

I would have given this spa an overall 5 stars, but I had to take off a star because of the fitness room next door to the massage room I was in. My therapist, Machiko, was awesome! She really took the time to understand and tend to my physical needs and issues I was having. I learned a lot from her as well as I received helpful information about my self care until my next massage. Now for the negative. I would have given 2-3 stars overall had it mot had been for Machiko being so awesome. The fitness room next door was a major distraction! The guests that come to the resort have use of the fitness room and not always know what they're doing. A couple of guys kept dropping weights and hitting them against the adjoining wall which was extremely distracting and startling. One time the bang was so much, I was totally in a relaxed mode and my therapist felt me jump. I paid $250 for 90 minutes (including tip) and seriously wanted some of my money back just for the distractions alone. It got to the point that Machiko stopped abruptly and went next door to ask them to stop dropping the weights. It wouldn't have been so bad if the weights weren't against the adjoining wall. Whose "great" idea was that? Try moving the weights, or better yet, the entire fitness room away from what should be a relaxing experience. If it weren't for Machiko, I would strongly suggest not going here. Mahalo! read more

I'm not sure I can express my disappointment accurately enough in so few words. My husband and I were on our honeymoon and decided we would splurge a little on a nice massage. The couples massage was $250 or so for 50 minutes. Expensive, yes. But we figured we would be getting a quality massage so we didn't worry about it so much. We arrived on time however, we needed to fill out some paperwork ahead of time and the massage therapist needed to finish getting the room ready. Therefore, after getting changed and doing the paperwork, we didn't start until about 10 minutes after our appointment time. Not a big deal--until I realized that counted towards our 50 minute massage. Oh and let me tell you about said massage. The therapist literally rubbed my back (with very light pressure) with her forearm the ENTIRE time. I asked for more pressure and got it....for about 30 seconds. Then right back to the crappy massage. I was hoping after a 10 hour flight to Hawaii, my husband and I would at least be able to get some knots rubbed out and feel refreshed for the rest of our honeymoon....that did not happen in the least bit. Now, let me get to the part where we had to pay. I got my bill and realized they do not include tax (normal) to the prices listed on the website. Fine. However, what was not fine is they automatically include a 20% gratuity. Therefore, the massage therapist can literally do the bare minimum (which is what happened to us) and still get a $50 tip. So our bill came to $400. FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS, for the worst massage we have ever had. Honestly...back home we have had $30 massages of better quality than that. So please, do not make the same mistake as us and get a massage at this resort! I promise you will regret it. EDIT: Although I stand firm about what happened and our experience, I will say that as soon as the owner read this review he was extremely courteous and wanted to do whatever he could to make it right. Therefore--I am adding a star from my previous review. He listened to my feedback and decided to refund the tip we gave and also sent us a very nice aloha gift for our trouble. I wholeheartedly believe he will take action to make sure this does not happen again to other customers and am very impressed by his level of professionalism and customer service. read more
