    I messaged Ideal Spa today around 6:00 p.m. for a last minute massage because I was having terrible shoulder pain, and they were able to squeeze me in at 6:40 p.m. Some reviews mentioned trouble with parking, but when I arrived, there were 3 spots available in the designated lot. It is small though, so I could see how it gets crowded later. Pros: -They take credit card -Room was clean -Designated parking lot -Was able to communicate well -Good pricing (I had a 60 minute massage for $55.00, but that included a $5.00 discount for it being my first time there) -Even though they make you pay for the massage before it starts, which is a bit unusual, you can tip afterwards, and you can tip using Venmo, which makes it easy -They used hot stones My massage itself was with Cassie, and she was great. I often get massages and struggle that they do not do enough pressure, but that was not an issue with Cassie. I explained to her before the massage began that I was experiencing significant pain in my right shoulder and would like her to spend most of the time working on that, and she did. She was able to squeeze in the rest of the body at the end and incorporated the hot stones into the massage. Pressure was great, and I felt better when I left than when I came, so I will definitely be back! Only odd things I noticed were that the sheet you put over you was folded up when I entered the room so I had to unfold it and figure out which was the long way and put it over me all while half naked lol. Also, I am fine with scalp and face massage, but I know some people who prefer that be skipped, so it could be a good idea for them to ask people if they want that before doing it in massages.

    I got the couples massage deal on Groupon. I called the number to book a massage later in the same day (it was a Friday). They said they can match prices on Groupon in person if paid in cash. Good to know. I got there, gave them my Groupon voucher and it took a good ten minutes for them to finally see us. They said they had to confirm the voucher, understandable. They were still iffy of my voucher, told me they will contact me in a few days if it does not go through. I literally bought the voucher the same day. They took us to the back, the rooms were small, the walls were paper thin; you can hear everything that's going on so we couldn't fully relax with the massage. Other than that the masseuse were great and the hot stone was nice. I don't think I will be coming here in the future. Very limited parking, they share the lot with multiple businesses.

    I have been coming here for about two years now. They all take such good care of you. Last night I came again and let my lady know I have been having major shoulder and back pain -- She really took her time massaging through my spine, back, and shoulders to find tension and knots and she really put in so much love and work into giving my body exactly what it needed!! The Hot Stones feel amazing as well. Parking is VERY limited. But I do recommend coming here for your self-care and relaxation needs!

    This was one of the best massages I've ever had. Bought a Groupon for a couples massage, super easy to schedule. The room was pretty small but the masseuses made it work. Looks like a small hole in the wall but the massage itself was fantastic. My masseuse was using techniques I've never had before. She targeted the knots and had perfect pressure. I was so sore coming in and felt so much better and relaxed leaving. The tables and face rest are extremely comfortable as well. I loved how they massaged my whole body as well and took there time on the spots we needed most. Absolutely amazing and relaxing massage I can't wait to come back.

    Amazing

The face pillows had a paper towel to lay our face on which was not comfortable at all. The main reason for the low stars is we had a couples massage and our masseuses were talking to each other the ENTIRE TIME. There was even a few moments of them just laughing. It was extremely uncomfortable since it was all in a different language and not relaxing one bit. A more quiet session would make the price almost worth it but how uncomfortable we felt we decided it wasn't.

The room was warm, great temperature, clean sheets, and lights dimmed for a better massage experience. You would have to undress to your underwear, lay face down first. They start with your head, neck, shoulders then work their way down to your back and legs. I like that they asked before doing anything and applying oil. I asked for a soft massage, he was very gentle. My cousin asked for medium hard. Before you flip over, they use the hot stones to massage you. It was very nice. I loved the head, shoulder, arm and calves massage. The hot stone helped with easing our muscles. The whole time, my masseuse was massaging me, he was very careful to cover me at all times. Very respectful. After the massage ended, they waited outside to give us water and walk us out. I will definitely recommend this place. They have limited parking in the back of the shop. Thank you to the two masseuse that worked on us, I appreciate you guys and the job that you do.

Although we needed a reservation, Sofia, the manager, was incredibly accommodating. She made sure she had enough staff available to take care of all three of us and was prompt with both her calls and text messages while coordinating our appointment. When we arrived, Eddie and Judy greeted us with warm smiles. Since Sofia wasn't onsite, they easily connected with her over the phone to help us redeem our Groupon, and the entire process was quick and effortless. My spouse and I were escorted into our room and immediately felt relaxed. The massage included warm essential oils and hot stones, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Eddie was my massage therapist, and I initially thought his pressure might be a little too strong. However, after I asked for a medium-pressure massage, he adjusted perfectly. Whenever I requested a little more pressure in certain areas, he listened carefully and customized the massage to exactly what I needed. He was attentive, professional, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire session. My spouse thoroughly enjoyed his massage as well. We both walked out feeling refreshed, relaxed, and much better than when we arrived. They even offered us bottled water before we left, which was a thoughtful finishing touch. If you're in the La Mesa area and looking for a quality massage at a great value, I definitely recommend giving this place a try. I also love that they're open late, making it the perfect spot to unwind after a long day at work. As always... you can thank me later!

I have visited both alone and with my husband on numerous occasions, and we have always returned. The staff has consistently been kind and professional, and I have always appreciated the quality of service. Unfortunately, my most recent visit on Saturday, March 21, 2026 at 10:45 AM was not a positive experience. I called at 10:00 AM to schedule a 90-minute couples deep tissue massage with hot stones for my husband and me, as he was treating me for my birthday. I specifically requested a shared room so we could enjoy the experience together, as we have in the past without any issues. I was told by the receptionist that they had availability and that we were welcome to arrive within the hour. We arrived at approximately 10:45 AM. While my husband's massage went very well, I did not receive the deep tissue massage we paid for. About 30 minutes into my 90-minute session, I noticed there was no firm pressure being applied. The therapist primarily used very light lotion strokes and circular motions on my back and lower back. The pressure felt like applying lotion to the skin. While the sensation was not unpleasant, it did not reflect what I specifically booked and paid for as a deep tissue massage. At one point, tiger balm was offered, which I declined; however, the pressure consistent with a deep tissue massage never began. Aside from briefly standing on my back at the beginning of the session, the treatment remained extremely light throughout. At around the 30-minute mark, I asked if I could end the session early because I was extremely unhappy with the service. I was told by my husband's therapist that I would need to continue until the session reached one hour in order to be charged appropriately. I agreed because I felt I had no other option in the moment, and I also requested that the hot stones be removed from the charge since I was no longer willing to continue the full service as originally booked. I completed the 60-minute session, but I did so unwillingly and left extremely disappointed and emotionally upset, as this was a birthday gift experience that did not meet expectations and genuinely left me hurt. The business did offer a complimentary massage once they realized how unhappy I was, which I appreciated; however, I declined, as the purpose of my visit was to share the experience with my husband, and that opportunity had already been lost. I hope this feedback is taken seriously. My intention is not to be harsh, but to clearly communicate the impact of this experience so it can be addressed appropriately in the future, especially when clients explicitly communicate that the service is not what was requested or expected.
