    Lymphatic drainage suit
    Rebecca E.

    The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Made sure I was comfortable and explained the benefits of lymphatic drainage. During the treatment, I fell into a deep sleep (yay recovery). This is a fun wellness activity to try.

    This place is heaven! I first went back in 2020 and haven't stopped since. You can choose from a sauna cabin, lymphatic cleanse or Infrared body wrap to get your sweat on. I love all three, but I prefer the body wrap. It is super clean, inviting and sooooo relaxing. The owners are very friendly and informative. You are provided with a cold towel, entertainment (tv) and water during your session. It feels good and refreshing to get all the toxins out and get your blood flowing. My favorite part is the Zen Den, a place to chill after that is so serene and peaceful to decompose before you leave. You are provided with more water and optional salted nuts as you relax and take it all in!

    Came here for the infrared body wrap not really knowing what it was. But it was AMAZING. Its basically an infrared heated sleeping bag that they wrap you in for 55 minutes that makes you sweat like crazy. They give you sweat pants, shirt and socks to change into and they will be totally soaked when you're done. While you're in there for 55 minutes you get to watch netflix or other streaming shows. After its over they take you over to the "Zen Den" its very tranquil; salt lamps, scented infusers, iced herbal tea, nuts, cold orange wedges for recovery, soft music playing. Very relaxing I felt so relaxed and chill for the rest of the night and slept like a log and my skin feels so soft too! Sean and Jenica provide excellent service, are super nice and explained everything. There is a paid parking lot across the street but also lots of metered parking in front and surrounding streets, but there was lots of free parking on 6th ave too. I felt amazing after doing this Infrared Body Wrap! Very reasonable for $50 and they also have packages or membership options that bring the price down too. Tips: drink water before you arrive and when you get home after too. Don't wear lotion on your skin. You should not do it if you have high blood pressure, metal implants, are pregnant or is "your time of the month"

    I was impressed from the start. The entire place is super clean and maintained. I was guided throughout the entire process seamlessly and that made my experience that much better. I did the lymphatic cleanse massage and I felt so energized and relaxed after. I will be coming back for another one... or 5. The zen area was Super relaxing as well I loved the salted nuts after my massage:)

    Got to relax in this cute lounge after my body wrap

    I am a personal trainer and do bootcamps 5 plus days week, so you can imagine how sore my muscles are everyday. Came across hot haven on class pass so I decided to treat my body to an infrared body wrap. Best way to describe it is that you're Netflix and chillin in a super comfortable heated bed while you sweat off 800 calories and detox. It almost felt like I pressed the reset button on my body, muscles felt better than post massage. After I was treated to some delicious iced tea and orange slices by the super comforting staff. They did not make me feel rushed and explained every step of it. Definitely going to be treating myself to hot haven once in a while. Thank you.

    This is the area where you get to chill and relax after everything

    OMG BEST THING EVER!!! The place is beautiful inside and the person that helped me with everything is named Jen ( I hope this is how you spell it ) and she was sooooo sweet and so attentive and soo helpful and honestly made the whole experience soo smooth and amazing! And You feel sooo amazing after and then once I noticed all of the sweat I was sooo surprised! Everything was just soo thought out and great! I have 0 complaints, Honestly something you definitely have to do at least once and honestly I would do this easily once a month!!

    Went to their sauna last week, and it was great! Small private sauna where you can watch Netflix or movies. There's plenty of water with lemon, lavender cool towels, really well thought experience. The temperature inside is adjustable, the seating is covered with a towel.

She was super gentle but really got in there and gave me a nice scrub. They have two different areas separated by men and women with a common area that we both share while wearing their provided uniform. They have a privates wet area that is separated by women and men. That's the area where you can shower and enjoy the Jacuzzi or the cold Plunge pool while being completely naked and getting the body scrubs. In the common area, they have a lounge where it's dimly lit calm and peaceful and you can just chill on the sofas. They also have 3 different saunas in the common area. They have light snacks, candy, water, and tea available. But would love to see more fresh fruits. Even though they share a large parking lot with the other businesses around them, it's very hard to find close parking nearby since they only have a few in front of their facility. Highly recommend getting there at least 30 minutes to an hour prior to your massage or body scrub time so that you can enjoy the wet area with the sauna and the Jacuzzis prior to getting your body scrub. I spent a good 3 hours there and I felt so relaxed after I was done.

The staff is where this place shines. Every single person we interacted with was kind, genuine, and attentive in a way that felt personal rather than scripted. The relaxation room set a great tone with complimentary tea and a lovely granola offering. Our therapists paid close attention to our needs throughout the 60 minutes, and the massage itself was exactly what an anniversary afternoon should be. To top it off, they surprised us with glasses of prosecco as we said our goodbyes. My only critique here was the locker room. Compared to other luxury spa experiences, the locker area felt noticeably small including the lockers themselves. The amenity offerings were quite basic -- shampoo, conditioner, body wash, a nail kit, and spray deodorant. Missing were the details that elevate a spa stay: shave kits, body lotion, face/hair products and toothbrush/toothpaste. For a property at this level, these extras matter. Overall, a wonderful anniversary experience and a solid 3.5/4 out of 5 from us. With a few upgrades this could easily be one of San Diego's best spa destinations.

I believed the new owners were using the extra funds to upgrade the spa, buy new equipment and pay employees better, at least according to their emails. Sadly, there's been a rapid decline in the business. The spa now looks dingy and neglected, and there's a foul odor throughout. The quality of facial and massage services dropped so much due to the constant turnover that I had to stop coming altogether. I had been seeing Chelsea Bowman and the master facialist Ami Sheneman for years. Both left, and no one contacted me to let me know I wouldn't be seeing them for my next appointment. I only found out when I showed up and discovered I'd be seeing someone else. The new girl Kendall, bless her heart--she tried her best, but it just wasn't the same. On top of it when I asked the girls at the desk where Chelsea and Ami went, each time they looked scared and uncomfortable answering. For anyone wondering where Ami went: I found her! She's now at Pier to Point down the street at the other end of Voltaire. I've already been there and signed up for multiple memberships. I highly recommend you do the same. It's such a shame about this spa since it's been part of the community for so long. Edit in response to the owner's comment: Thank you for your response. I want to clarify that my review was written in good faith based solely on my personal experience as a long-time client of your spa. I did not create my account with any intention of coordinating negative reviews or promoting a competitor. I have never had a Yelp account prior to this, which is why it is new. I've also never left a Google review prior to this either. My intention was to share my honest disappointment about the recent changes and lack of transparency when my preferred practitioners left, which significantly impacted my experience. I understand privacy policies, but as a loyal client, I felt it would have been more considerate to inform me prior to my appointment that my practitioners would no longer be there, enabling me to make the decision if I wanted to see someone new or not. This would have allowed me to cancel, so I could continue my services with the professionals I had established trust with. I stand by my original review and hope future communication with clients will be handled with greater openness and respect. Thank you.

She massaged me from head to toe and her hands are magical. I told her my problem areas and she really honed in on them with just the right amount of pressure. Honestly, the combo of the comfy warm bed and Gwen made me nod off for a while, it was so relaxing. I definitely recommend giving this place a try. The massages and other services are quite pricey, but they offer an affordable monthly membership which offers a free service monthly!

While I appreciate the management's attempt to rectify some issues, the current quality simply does not match the premium price point. My friend and I booked our treatments at specific times online to maximize our time together, only to be told days later that the times were unavailable. In trying to resolve this, I discovered the spa had also changed my friend's appointments without notifying her. It took a 45-minute phone call and multiple follow-ups before a director finally stepped in to provide a day pass and an acoustic vibration meditation session to make amends. While I was grateful for the gesture, the meditation beds were unfortunately quite uncomfortable and didn't live up to the "state-of-the-art" description. For a spa that charges $200+ just for facility access, the upkeep was surprisingly poor. There were used towels strewn about the common areas, overflowing trash in the bathrooms, and when trying to locate an unused locker, myself and the staff member assisting me had to open several before finding a robe. The steam room was barely functioning with minimal to no steam produced. A large group of women in the solarium was incredibly loud (screaming and laughing) for a long period. While I'm glad they were enjoying themselves, multiple staff members walked by and never once stepped in to maintain the quiet, relaxing environment guests expect. While not part of the spa itself, the poolside service was notably slow; my friend waited an hour for her food and had to rush through it before her treatment. We were served without utensils and had to wait several more minutes for a server to return. I have long considered this one of the top two spas in San Diego, but after this experience, the value is no longer there. Management's effort to make it right was appreciated, but a luxury spa shouldn't require that much effort from the guest just to have a basic, clean, and coordinated experience. I'll be enjoying the other local luxury spa options moving forward.

She was a friendly and helpful presence throughout our visit. I got the 60 minute relaxation massage, and it was worth every penny. My masseuse, Jasmine, was excellent, from the moment she greeted me to when the message was over and she bid me farewell with a tiny cup of their fresh-squeezed orange elixir and a warm towel. Speaking of towels, so many towels everywhere--all cloth. Nary a paper towel to be seen, even in the bathrooms. Their robes were fluffy and luxurious, and the slide sandals were nice quality, no cheap flip flops here. On our visit there weren't that many other guests (we did get there later in the day), so it felt very tranquil and private. We availed ourselves to the steam room, sauna, and whirlpool before and after our treatments, and hung out in the well-appointed ladies lounge with some of the available snacks: almonds, dried apricots, and housemate oat bars that were really yummy. It was a rare treat for me and I enjoyed every minute! Don't forget to get your valet parking validated before you go.
