Great people great massage I'd do it again and again. I'd recommend it for yourself or a gift read more

I was very disappointed walking in. I had heard nice things about the spa but what hit me walking up the grade from the lobby was an unpleasant rancid oil smell, definitely not my previous experience with upscale spas. The private shower where I undressed was out of order, not a good sign and when I asked to shower after my appointment I was directed back down to the lobby and into the gym. No thank you. I did receive a good massage, but not worth what they are charging. Very pleasant equally skilled people right down the street and it smells better. I planned on tipping 20% anyway, but would prefer for that to be my choice. I won't be returning. read more

I arrived with an incredible amount of back pain after sleeping on a soft sofa bed. Meghan was really amazing, she found the many areas that were seized up and methodicallly worked out each one, being careful not to overdue it and rotating from area to area. I could barely tie my tennis shoes when I came in and she really worked hard to send me home, pain free. I can't recommend her highly enough. The 80 minute, deep tissue with Meghan will cure all that ails you! read more

New owners drove out a lot of members. This place used to be the best but they removed pickle ball, the weights outside, quality staff, pool use, then jacked up prices and insane amount. You're not mayacama or fountain grove in beauty and scenery. You don't even have as nice of equipment as a planet fitness. If you're a member, you are getting scammed out of hundreds to thousands of dollars. Most of these reviews are from the hotel guests. Do not bat an eye at this place if you're thinking of becoming a member. read more

I was staying at the Flamingo Hotel and a week before I came I booked an 80-min deep tissue massage. I wasn't able to see bios of the therapists or pick the one I wanted. At the time of booking I filled out a form & provided extensive information about my current health and areas of my body that needed attention. I was frustrated that the therapist hadn't read any of it and I had to repeat it all during the massage. But then she didn't seem to take any of it into account in how she did the massage. And it wasn't deep tissue in most areas. Unfortunately they automatically charge a 20% gratuity which is frustrating. I also wish they had told me in advance there's a sauna & hot tub I'd have access to - I didn't know so couldn't plan for it. $252 total for a medium experience. read more

I have been thinking about my experience all week so I finally decided I should write a review. I booked 3 massages for me and my two girlfriends for one of their birthdays. I booked a 80 min deep tissue massage and was warned by the therapist that it may be really intense and that they like to tell people not to "try to be a hero." So I agreed to let them know if the pressure was too much, but reiterated that I did want deep tissue. The massage was definitely not even close to deep tissue. It was what I would call medium pressure swedish massage, which was confusing especially because of the warning. The therapist did check in with me twice and both times I asked for more pressure and got a very slight increase in pressure but still nothing close to even a firm massage. They also didn't massage my neck at all when I was face up which was disappointing. I wasn't going to say anything but when I got out of the massage one of my friends had a similar experience. She asked for deep tissue and got a very light massage. We decided to tell the front desk staff and she did take off the $10 charge for deep tissue which we appreciated, however we were still pretty bummed that we didn't get the massage that we were looking for. I would only reccomend this place if you like a light/med swedish massage. If that's what I wanted, then I would have been satisfied. read more

A Very Talented Massage Therapist I recently visited the Flamingo Hotel and stumbled upon the Spa at Montecito which is located behind the Hotel adjacent to the tennis courts. My shoulder had been bothering me due to an injury and I thought that a massage could help. OMG! I had the good fortune to find myself under Elyse's skilled hands. Within a few minutes of answering her very astute questions and addressing my concerns, she went to work on me. I should rephrase and say that "we" went to work on me. Within that 80 minute session under Elyse's guidance, I found that I was breathing rhythmically, completely letting my stress go and as she put it..."being here now." Her touch was focused and adjusted to my level of sensitivity. Her knowledge about anatomy and how it works and...MY SHOULDER !! So much better!!! But there was more. After our massage ended, Elyse asked that I sit up on the table for the last few minutes we had left and assisted me through a few movement exercises. They weren't easy and I was asked to breathe "through any discomfort." I did and I walked away pain free!!! She informed me that my work wasn't done and that if I didn't continue on my own with the exercises she gave me, I'd be back soon with the same problems. Weeks later, I'm doing my homework diligently, keeping my pain under control and I'm STILL going back even though I'm no longer in pain :) I can't wait. Montecito is fortunate to have on their staff, Elyse Briggs, a very talented therapist. read more

I really loved Maria. She is strong and caters to the needs of your body. After getting the massage I was able to access the locker room and use the steam room and hot tub which was amazing. They have lots of services here. I purchased an 80 minute Swedish massage and was in heaven. The facilities are small but if you take advantage of the attached health center it's basically a spa day that is surprisingly affordable. I like the pricing because it leaves room to tip without breaking the bank (for Sonoma County). read more

My friend and I both got gift cards here as birthday gifts, got appointments at the same time, and both really enjoyed our experience! Pros: -Everyone was VERY polite and friendly. -Loved how they gave us comfy robes and then also slippers to wear back to the massage area. -No waiting time...they were very prompt! -We went during spa "Happy Hour", where you get to choose discounted mini services. Fun for if you want a couple different things done. -You get a complimentary glass of champagne if you go during spa "Happy Hour". -Very nice shower room with heated towels for you to use after a massage. -Give you a locker with a key to store your stuff. -Didn't rush us out afterwards. We hung out in their relaxation room (with a nice outdoor patio) and drank our champagne and talked for a while after. Really nice and relaxing! -Liked my massage lady (Marni...if I spelled that right!). She was friendly and did a great job! I especially liked the hot stone part of the massage. -Great atmosphere. Cons: -Luckily we went early, because it took it quite a while to find the actual building, even using gps! It's located behind the Flamingo, and we ended up having to drive through their parking lot and around their buildings to get to the spa parking lot. Kind of weird. -For some reason we couldn't get a facial, even though it was an advertised "Happy Hour" service. Maybe they were booked already, I'm not sure. But that would have been nice to do! -Price. We got it for free this time because of our gift cards, but I probably won't go back very often because they are pretty expensive. We also found out that we could have been able to get our massages in the same room...next time we'll have to ask! Overall it was a very relaxing and lovely experience, and if the prices were a little cheaper, I would most definitely be back!! This place is a step above many other massage places though, with extras and the amenities, the atmosphere and the service. So I think they charge the correct price for what they do. :) read more

Very relaxing and calming atmosphere and facility! Friendly and knowledgeable staff to assist and guide you. I had the 80min essential wellness swedish massage - Austin was great and catered to my needs and comfort rather than doing everything standard.. one of the best Massages ive had and already book my return appointment. Included use of the lovely sauna, steam room and jacuzzi to help wind down prior. Highly recommend. read more

the only reason I'm OK with giving this place 1 stare is because the guy that did my massage was good.... but that dose not make up for how rudely i was treated by the older women working at the front desk. She must have been some part of managment because she was rude not only to me but to the younger women working with her, It was uncomfortable and embarrassing to put it lightly! As i was walking away the older women yelled around the costumer standing at the desk... "Did you care to tip?!" i said, i did tip $20... she rolled her eyes and said so split $20 between everyone that waited on you today?! I just said WOW and walked away! you couldn't pay me to go back to this place. read more

I had my first facial with Shawnee and it was AMAZING. My skin glowed and was so soft and flawless afterwards. She uses a lot of steam (love steam) and I was highly impressed by how much hydrated my skin looked afterwards. Will definitely be returning! read more

My husband and I were gifted a couples massage and had a great experience. We were able to use the health club amenities as well. Feeling thankful and very relaxed! read more

Health Spa Montecito - The Spa - Massage Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

This is a high quality pedicure! I normally go to Coldwater Creek but seeing as how they've been sold & all the good employees are jumping ship I decided to try something new. I'm happy I did! The "Montecito pedicure" came with the works- nice ambiance, oil massage, and paraffin treatment. It is different than Coldwater in that you're not reclined & sent off to slumberland. It's more traditional so you are sitting up & may converse with the pedicurist, if you'd like. My pedicurist was Tina & she was great. She was so knowledgeable & interesting, I feel like I learned a good deal about nails & nail care. My toes look beautiful & I look forward to me next visit. *Prices seem comparable to Coldwater. read more

I just have to say Laura was amazing! I did some waxes with her and she was super fast but also listened to me and really paid close attention to detail. I'm super picky with my eyebrows and she made them look the best I've had in a very long time! So grateful to have found her! Highly highly recommend. read more

Very clean high quality products are used at this spa! My skin is so thankful every time I go in! The front desk is always helpful and patient! The therapists and estheticians are professional, knowledgeable and comforting! Honestly this spa is the most bang for your buck in Sonoma County! You will not regret going here! read more

DO NOT BOOK YOUR MASSAGE HERE. I was back home in Santa Rosa on vacation, and decided to stay at the Flamingo Hotel for fun with my best friend. My first mistake was booking a deep tissue massage online, without any information about the therapist available, other than their names. I will assume responsibility for this. Best friend booked a massage with Eyan, I booked my DEEP TISSUE with Gigi. My second mistake was not walking out of the massage when I realized she didn't know how to give deep tissue, the way that my best friend walked out of her very awkward massage with Eyan. Not only did Gigi give me a strange version of a Shiatsu massage, which I would never pay so much for, but she also had no idea what golfers elbow was, a very common condition improved by massage. Gigi is the MANAGER of this establishment, and did not care to speak with me when I requested with the front desk woman to be contacted about my experience. Knowing that Gigi does the hiring for this place, it's safe to assume that there's not one competent massage therapist working out of that space. Complete waste of $110, and actually gave me more of a pain in my neck than I went in with. I've been receiving massage for years, and I'm just blown away at how terrible my experience was here. I highly advise taking your money elsewhere. read more

I've gotten massages here and the staff is amazing! All the of massage therapists I've seen have been extremely knowledge about the body especially when I had an injury. They are great at listening to your needs and cater the session to you. I am a dancer and very picky about who I get massages from since I need my muscles in top shape for performance. This is my go to place for all my massage needs! read more

2nd visit to this lovely spa! I had to book a last minute brow wax a while back and after one visit with Michelle I was hooked. She is fantastic! Went back for my second appointment and my brows look great, she takes such amazing care of you while performing her magical talent. I have no redness when I leave. Zero, Zero, Zero! She is so gentle and it's so relaxing (a brow wax relaxing, I did say it was magical!). The spa staff and manager are so awesome, check in was prompt, you feel taken care of the moment you walk in. The spa lobby is filled with sparkles and baubles and wonderful products very beautifully displayed. I wish I could leave 10 stars for this great spa! A great place to take care of yourself or treat a loved one to some much needed pampering! Make sure to check this place out! read more

Just had an awesome hot stone massage from Ramon - a gifted healer and massage therapist. He is a gem, and treats your body as if he knows it thoroughly inside and out. I'm much more than just relaxed - I'm alive and rejuvenated! read more

I have had pedicures at many salons and spas and this was by far one of the worst. She was very sweet but the massage was short and weak and she spent more time cleaning the polish off my toes than trying to put it on my actual toenail. Also, the receptionist was less than gracious. i won't go back. Sad face read more

I am giving it 5 stars for the atmosphere, the friendly and helpful service and the incredible massage I just got from their newest practitioner, Randall Saulsbury. This was the best I ever had, intuitive, the right amount of pressure and a real feeling of being "de-toxed". I never write reviews, but I will just to encourage you all to try him. read more

Thank you to the wonderful team at Montecito Heights Spa who helped me look absolutely fabulous on my wedding day this past weekend. I was staying at the Flamingo Hotel for my wedding weekend and was looking for a hair/makeup team that was both convenient and reasonably priced. Gigi, spa manager, totally came through with an amazing hair stylist from Revive Hair Salon and a fantastic in-house makeup artist. Shelly, makeup artist, was a dream to work with spending tons of time on my trial to make sure we achieved the natural look I was going for. The day-of, Shelly had such a great energy and spent time showing my friends how to touch me up later. All of this and at an amazing price! Seriously ladies, this is the best place to go for wedding hair/makeup around Santa Rosa. Five stars all the way. read more

I've had 2 pedicures here, with Tina. Very comfortable and an excellent long lasting service. Not much massage but feet and nails cleaned and smoothed so that polish really lasts . read more

I go to the Santa Rosa fairly often. I discovered the Health Spa Montecito about 2 years ago when my back was bothering me (too long in the rental car driving up from Oakland). I booked a massage at the Montecito and it was, honestly, the best I've ever had. I've been back 4 or 5 times since, and each time it was fantastic. The environment of the spa is perfect -- it's quiet, relaxing and very nicely appointed. The staff is friendly and welcoming. There's also a very nice restaurant across from the pool in the Flamingo hotel, with which the Montecito shares space. The stars, though, at least for me, are the massage therapists. I've gotten massages from Elyse and Sandy. They're both wonderful, but Elyse is my favorite. She is simply the best, a true therapist. She's helped my sciatica, as well as my perpetually tight neck. I recommend the Health Spa Montecito without reservation and, particularly, their highly skilled massage therapists. I only wish it wasn't so far from Newport Beach where I live -- I'd be there every week. read more

Amazing is all that comes to my mind at this time. I have been to many spas all over the world and this place offers all I could need at the right price. Overall ambiance was relaxing and soothing. Front desk was very helpful recommending my treatment and therapist. Randall was incredible. So technically skilled yet so relaxing. I will definitely come again and again. Oh sauna and steam made my experience that much better. read more
