Now, they do offer private massages for those who are uncomfortable being in the nude. I opted for the body scrub & massage afterwards. You can enjoy the dry or wet sauna, hot tub or cold plunge before they call you in & afterwards. Just remember to shower first before taking a dip in the hot tub. But if you're comfortable enough in your own skin & don't mind being naked around other women, go for it! Note: If "Aunt Flo" happens to arrive, you don't need to cancel your appointment. You can wear your undies with tampon throughout your visit.

Liz has completely transformed my skin. it is the clearest, healthiest, and most radiant it's ever been. Her knowledge, precision, and care truly show in her results. I trust her completely with my skin. She's been my go to for the past 2 years. And Ronald... he has a truly magic touch. His massage work is next level. He has his own technique that is unbelievably healing. It's deeply relaxing, intentional, and incredibly effective. You leave feeling reset in both body and mind. The atmosphere, professionalism, and quality of care at Whispering Day Spa are unmatched. If you're looking for real results and an exceptional experience, this is the place. Highly recommend.

Meanwhile, Sarah took such thoughtful and attentive care of my mom during her massage, which meant a lot to me. The whole experience felt calm, personalized, and genuinely rejuvenating.

The person making the appointment spent a great deal of time with me trying to figure out which one of the services would work best given the time of day and who was available. She may be worth more than what she is getting paid. In any event, this was a good experience and by the time I left, all effects of the too much caffeine had been vanquished. I was genuinely sorry I didn't have time to schedule another visit.

STEPH JUDGEMENT: You get what you pay for…read more I don't get a lot of massages, and even when I do, it's not at places like this, as in, VERY fancy and very expensive. But when a special occasion arose with a group of girlfriends, I resigned myself and just handed over my credit card. Kyoko, the main spa attendant, greeted us warmly and showed us around. 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.

I have visited the Fairmont Grand Del Mar spa 6-7 times and have generally had positive…read moreexperiences, but my most recent visit was so disappointing that I feel it is necessary to share my experience. 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.

A nice spa. Came here 10 years ago for my 40th birthday and then again 10 years later for my 50th…read morebirthday. There have been some improvements from 10 years ago yet still kept its nice Italian feeling vibe. The only negatives were: 1) That some of the umbrellas over the cushioned seating by the pool wouldn't lower so even if you had an umbrella over your head it didn't lower enough to actually give you shade. 2) My massage ended up being 20 plus minutes late and then also was less than a 50 minute message. My therapist ended the massage abruptly and said our time was up. It didn't feel like 50 minutes so I checked my phone when I got up. It was more like 40 minutes at most and I knew because I had sent a text to someone when I was in the waiting room 45 minutes before and I hadn't been called back yet. When I asked the therapist if it was a full 50 minute she said yes. Yet the Spa made it right and gave me 20% off for the confusion as their computer system was not working, the delay and for the shortened message. Besides all that, my massage was very nice so they can keep their 5 stars. Parking is free but there is a little walk. Lunch was delicious. We both had hamburgers with a blueberry lemonade. Very nice spa overall.

Honestly, for the price, I expected much higher quality. I enjoyed my day simply because I was able…read moreto relax by the pool kid-free and enjoy good company, but I don't have a ton of great things to say about this spa. I will start with my pros, then cons. Pros: 1. Their Froze was delicious and refreshing. A nice treat for a warm day! 2. The landscaping and grounds themselves were really pretty. 3. The massage I had was nice. Was it the best massage I've had? No, but I was relaxed and I can't complain about it overall. Cons: 1. SERVICE AND FRIENDLINESS. From the start, the vibes were just off. The demeanor of pretty much all the staff was prickly, to say the least. We were celebrating my birthday, so my mom brought a small box of five cupcakes for us to celebrate my day. She had called ahead and was told this would be fine. However, she was told they do not allow any outside food and drink despite her calling previously. So, they took them and we had to collect them when we left. Fine, no big deal if that's their policy. They should make sure everyone is aligned on that fact though. Then, we asked if it would be possible to shift an umbrella so all of us could have some shade (it was sunny and hot and we are fair skinned). We were told we are absolutely not allowed to move any umbrellas or chairs whatsoever. Again, we are paying close to 1,000 for our day and we can't even shift an umbrella to make everyone comfortable? Wild! Overall there were several small instances of this nature where the staff wasn't very accommodating or friendly. 2. Facilities. WAY too small for the amount of people they book for services. The locker room is incredibly tiny and not large enough for everyone to comfortably change. There are only two women's bathrooms and they are located in the spa locker room. Not close to the pool and there were lines for the bathrooms at multiple times. Overall some of the facilities were a bit run down and cramped. In my opinion, if you're considering a spa day, go to Rancho Valencia. You'll get your money's worth there. Friendlier staff, nicer facilities, better food, and an overall better experience. Will not be booking again at RB Inn.

I also did ear seeding for my lower back, hips, sciatica, and piriformis muscle. I also got chocolate samples, some had mushrooms in them. I also got a sample of red light therapy, which was relaxing, but the wine didn't mix well with it because I got a little nauseous afterwards.
