Masseuse: Star Massage: 75 minute lomi lomi Oh my. Star is an extremely talented masseuse. Walked in with back pain from an aggressive pickleball session and walked out on a cloud. Just wish I booked for 90 minutes. She was highly communicative, went straight for my problem areas, and had me wincing and groaning in the best way possible. She checked in with me throughout to make sure I was comfortable. The room was tidy, smelled nice, and outside noise was effectively blocked out. Parking was good too. Overall, 10/10 would recommend! read more

Great Place for Locals and Tourists too. The Therapists are well qualified. Great for Massages and Facials too There Is a room on the very top of the lighthouse It overlooks the ocean and parts of the mountain side too read more

Just called them and setup a same day appointment. Not exactly cheap but worth the money. The masseuse they called is Nicole and she has magic hands. Definitely request her for a session. I have been driving from Hilo to Kona and stopped by Mauna Kea for sunrise. By the end of the day, my back hurts so bad that I really need some relief. I asked for a 75 mins deep tissue. I got so much better after the session. I would recommend for anyone need 1 for relaxation. read more

I had gone to another hot yoga session in the morning at the teacher humbled me in so many ways. My body just didn't feel right after my last session so I searched for another. Unfortunately most locations on the Big Island don't work on Sunday's and with the new restrictions, fewer and fewer were available. Luckily, I was persistent and found Body Rhythms near the back of the suggested places on Yelp and they still had appointments late in the afternoon. Setting up the appointment was easy peasy. A quick phone call and I was in. The only tough part was deciding which type of massage and for how long. Ok, not so difficult, but had to use my brain a bit to look over all their options. A short 15 minute drive and I was walking up the steps to a Victorian style house. I was greeted by Karen, my therapist. She showed me the restroom and then to the room the treatment would take place in. The moment Karen started, I knew I was in good hands and had made an excellent choice. I was jello in a matter of minutes and almost fell completely asleep. She had verified the style and the pressure and it was all exactly what I needed. Unfortunately, all good things must end and my time was up. After dressing I was met in the lobby by Karen and Kush who helped check me out. After taking care of the bill, I was able to shower before hitting the road. Such a great find, which I will definitely be back the next time I visit the islands! Keep on Yelp'n! read more

I booked a mini package of a 60 min massage and 30 min facial. The place is very small but clean. The Massage was with David. ( I think I was so blissed out I forgot names) the massage was wonderful. He paid lots of attention and to my neck shoulders and upper back since I told him those were the areas I was hurting. I loved that I didn't have to change rooms and the Women that came in and did my facial was wonderful too. I love Eminence products they all smell amazing. I left feeling great. read more

I had an absolutely amazing massage while on vacation here. Our group kept running more and more behind but they were flexible with shifting my appointment multiple times. The masseuse I had was a master of his craft - great at communication, incredibly attentive, and focused on my requested problem areas (shoulders, back, scalp). Wish I could come back all the time! Tip: The stated phone number on Yelp and the linked website didn't work. I got through with booking on their site and then emailing read more

The booking was so smooth and it was so easy to find the facility. I had an AMAZING massage. I would rather go local than at the hotels and this place proved me right! I will definitely be here again! Thanks for an amazing, relaxing experience! read more

My mom and I got much needed massages & facials here and we LOVED them! The service was excellent, they made us feel very comfortable, very relaxed, and our skin felt better than ever. They even were able to take us the same day that we called. I have nothing bad to say about our visit. Definitely worth the money! read more

AVOID. The massage was awful and I didn't get what I asked for. I was up-charged, and because I'm polite, agreed and was told it was for extra time that I did not request. $400+ when it was all over! I felt pressured into tipping the usual 20%. You are required to fill out a form before the service, stating your objective. I wrote "STRESS RELIEF" and left in pain and added stress. The masseuse HEATHER asked if I wanted to try an EFT treatment without explaining the full scope of the process, I was miserable the entire time and gained nothing from it but a much lighter wallet. The massage part was lousy at the end, not sure if she cared. read more

Mutu is amazing! Best facial I ever had, and so willing to schedule me last minute. Best massage - and so professional. Customized my facial to help with my dryness and pigmentation. Wonderful, I highly recommend!!! read more

My deep tissue massage with Brandon was heavenly! Booked massages for myself and my mother and sister for the morning of our flight home. The spa was more than accommodating helping us get simultaneous early morning massages and was extremely communicative and responsive. The location was cute and easy to find. Brandon really worked wonders I'm going to be so relaxed on my 5 hour flight back to the mainland! Huge Mahalo! read more

Fully appreciate the services received from Janaki and Lindsay today. We did a 90-minute couples massage and were very satisfied with everything about it. My deep tissue massage was great and the standard Swedish massage my girlfriend received was too. read more

Quick and easy booking and that is needed when it's a last minute request. Price is comparable to LA prices, but the ambiance isn't quite the same. The walls here are extremely thin, so while you're trying to relax from your massage, you can hear every creek and noises/talking from outside. I requested a deep tissue massage and it was pretty good. Not the best, but still good. Like most folks, had to knock down a star due to the prices being a bit high, but I needed the massage due to all the activities I was doing on vacation. read more

Made an appointment for service 5 days in advance. Site says 24 hour cancelation required. Received an email day before to confirm my reservation. Confirm my reservation online. Night before service at 8:30 PM. They called me to cancel my appointment because the aesthetician would be available only on Sunday. Very poor service if I was to call them at 8 PM the night before they would definitely charge me a service fee. Very poor service. read more

If you need a wax, ask for Sandra. Hands down the best wax I've ever gotten. Super clean, painless, and she got my ingrowns out too and has great tips and advice for post-wax care. Would go back just for her! read more

Fast. Painless. Immediate appointments. Not cheap. Nothing in Hawaii is. Nice. Clean. Great waxer! Easy park. Easy check in. You'll like it! read more

My gf chose this place because it was so highly rated, but was only left disappointed and physically hurt. I'm guessing the positive reviews are from their massages, but their waxing services are not it. The entire session was unusually long from what it normally is at other spas and extremely painful. To top it all off she still had pieces of wax on her body after leaving. Very unprofessional. Here we are a day later and her skin is peeling and a bit red (which has never happened with a wax before). Perhaps their usual wax specialist was gone or the waxing services are new.. either way we will not be coming back and do not recommend. read more

Booked a couples massage for the wife and I last Saturday and had a very nice experience. They started off with a foot bath and quick foot massage. Then we had our massages that included hot stones. I was a bit sunburned from going snorkeling the day before but surprisingly it didn't really bother me during the massage. John and his staff are great. Body Rythyms isn't the cheapest massage on the island but you get a good massage and get a lot for your money. Give them a try. The wife and I have been to numerous massage places, Burke Williams, Massage Envy, etc. and she said that Body Rythyms is one of the best massages she's ever had. read more

We came here for a massage for my husband & a facial for myself as a surprise for our anniversary. Both ladies did a truly fantastic job. My facial was very relaxing, & my skin was glowing & extremely soft afterwards. According to my husband, Amber gave him the best massage of his life, & he's received many all over the world & has pretty high standards. We will definitely be back. Regarding ambiance, I noticed some reviews mentioning it being noisy, we couldn't disagree more, it was a very relaxing atmosphere with pleasant, calming music. read more

It's becoming a tradition to come here for a massage before my trip back home. I love how easy booking is, especially with how busy we are sightseeing and adventuring right up to the last day. We tried the Lomi Lomi and it was out of this world - I felt so relaxed, even through a full day of flights the next day. Pure bliss, and I love the setting. read more

Hands down the best massage I've ever had. I have sciatica issues (see physical therapy review) and after a lot of traveling, it started to act up. I had a old spa finder gift card rotting away in my email so i decided to see if I could hit two birds, one stone and find a place that would accept it. That's how I stumbled upon body rhythms. I booked a 90 min sports massage for the next day and was matched with Preston. To say Preston knew his stuff would be an understatement. In that 90 min massage, he was able to significantly alleviate my sciatica and loosened some knots in my shoulder and neck to boot. I ended up booking 2 more times with him while on vacation and am glad I did. As a spa, body rhythms is fine. Simple but pleasant and offer heated stones and aromatherapy for all massages. read more

I hate to give a bad review but it wasn't a good experience from start to finish. The facility is very small but clean. I was looking for a place to get a massage as I am recently new to this area. I just had a baby and my back has been killing me. I booked via yelp since it offered that service. I thought the prices sounded decent ($120 for 90 min hot stone)- not the actual price come to find out. When I arrive they told me I requested a male. No where on the request form was there even a place to do that. I was confused but luckily there was a woman therapist available. The therapist was very nice and walked me into one of the two rooms. The room was very basic. It's almost like an old office space. I could hear cars going by, people in the reception area and basically any noise the entire time. I am a new mom and I never do anything for myself so it was a bummer. I have had many massages before as I am in the hotel industry for sales and marketing, we often recommend spas. This was not a normal relaxing experience or a place I would recommend. The hot stones were super hot. I had to tell her multiple times it was burning me. The stones also didn't seem like a seamless experience as she was constantly digging and clunking the stones. It was hard to relax from my back and arms literally feeling like they were on fire to the constant noise. When the massage was over the receptionist was missing so I had to wait a bit to pay. Not the most professional. When I did pay she gave me a price of $157. I thought that was weird but I thought maybe I read it wrong on the price sheet. I reviewed my confirmation and sure enough it said $120. I text the number that confirmed the appointment and she said the prices changed. I showed her a screenshot of my confirmation and she said she would refund me the difference but that price has not been updated on yelp and please use the main website to book in the future. I'm sorry, do not offer a booking tool if you aren't going to update it. The response should have been I'm sorry we must have forgot to update that, thank you for notifying us, we will refund you the price difference. It's been 6 days and there has been no refund. Lastly, when I got home, I had red burn marks all over my body. I don't have sensitive skin and this shouldn't have happened. Luckily they weren't too bad and went away in 24 hours. I would skip this place in the future. For the price point, you are paying a good amount of money for a noisy room with thin walls and not even a spa experience. read more

really wish I knew if the lady who gave the massage was Darlene or daisy (blonde haired woman working sep 11). The massage was so wonderful that I felt as if I was in a state of shock afterwords. I deal with sciatic pain and the masssuse was able to address all areas that gave me pain. From my arms, hands, back, butt, legs, feet, she hand managed to work out all tension. It was damn near life changing. It was like she knew every single area that hurt and how to relieve it perfectly. She asked if I fell asleep during the massage, but I just had my eyes closed. I closed my eyes to focus on relaxing my body and maximizing the massage to its fullest. I was at peace. I left and for two hours after I finally felt the relief of not having that tension and stress in those areas, and while I felt the massage was very expensive, I would pay it again in a heartbeat to experience that state of relief and bliss again. Absolutely have a gift from above with her hands. Mahalo from Andrew and Julie. read more

Just booked and received a couples massage and it was a top massage for us and all expectations were met! Definitely recommend!!

I just wanted to share a big mahalo to Pua And Lilian. My husband and I had a couple hours of free time today and they were both able to accommodate us on such short notice. My husband got a Swedish massage and I got a prenatal massage. Both of us left relieved and satisfied. Most importantly they made us feel very comfortable. If I had more time to spare I would've asked to extend. Thank you again for such a great massage and getting rid of all my pregnancy pain! read more

Valerie is Amazing!! I came for the traditional Lomi Lomi massage and requested very firm pressure, I never wanted the session to end! Not to mention the spa is adorable and very inviting. I'll 100% be coming back on my next visit :) read more

My least favorite massage experience. My reservation seemed to be lost (I had booked a massage and eyebrow waxing). After calling someone in last minute to do my waxing we were making progress. We started the massage and within 5 minutes the guy is picking up and answering his phone while giving me a massage. Then about half way through my massage leaves to go down and check in other guest and I didn't get anything extra for my lost time. Very veryyy unprofessional. read more

I love this place. I've been going here for a few years. Daisy is the greatest. She works out all my tension in my back and I also have problems with my legs and knees. By the time im done with the massage I feel like I can take on the world. I recently booked a massage for my daughter and I. My daughter is in love with massages now. She said she could have fallen asleep. and she had a great experience. and it was her first time getting a massage and I must says it was awesome. Thank you Daisy you're awesome!!! read more

I live in Hilo but received a certificate for a massage from my brother in Dallas, who was impressed with the reviews. It was worth the 2 hour drive over to Kona, because Sienna was right up there with the most skilled massage therapists I've experienced. read more

This is a fantastic little spa. The treatment room was very clean and cute. I had waxing services and massage. Both were top notch.

I had a slight headache, tight shoulders and hips. Daisy, the manager of the Spa, gave me a wonderful massage and I left feeling like a different person! Their spa is located on the second floor of of the "Lighthouse" on Palani. There is parking in the back of the building-- but missed the narrow driveway on my first try The lighthouse is a quaint building with a Beauty Salon on the first floor and around the side are steps up to the Spa. The interior and furnishings are well-appointed and the massage beds comfy. Daisy will find all the knots and work them out and and give you a much better outlook on your day. A great experience! read more

Booked a massage for my boyfriend last minute. There was so much availability and so many options, so I got him a Lomi lomi. My boyfriend was in awe, he said it was the most relaxing massage ever while still getting work done. Thanks guys! read more

My sister and I booked two massages and they were great! Daisy was awesome! I highly recommend her esp if you have any knots in your back or other muscles! Best massage I've had! We are visiting and will be back again the next time we are on the big island! read more

Worst spa on the island. I was a former massage therapist here and I quit because I was getting verbally abused and I was never paid on time. I also had to witness the spa manger get mistreated on a daily basis. The owner does not treat women well. read more

Overcharded!!! Signed up for special on line and was not given the rate, I was offered differnt types of massage and not told deep tiisue was an up grade. it seems they were banking on me not wanting to upset my vacation. after considering it for a day I am even more upset. Buyer beware!!! Although the techs were nice that was not a deep tissue massage, would be a good swedish. do not trust this vendor. read more

Please note that, despite the owner's message, I was NOT asked to upgrade my massage and would have gladly done so if that was an option given to me. I'm sure the receptionist lied her teeth off to avoid reprimand, but the fact is, the owner's statement is a lie. Also, NO. I have never had only deep tissue massages, and that is another lie. Why would I book a Swedish, if I've only ever had deep tissue? I booked a package so it's not like I'm trying to save on a $20-$50 difference here, and would have happily upgraded. Nice try to mitigate the lackluster service. Pretty clear point on the fact that my masseuse just didn't deliver, is that my BF did NOT have that problem. A relaxation massage does STILL include improving circulation to trouble areas, not skin stroking. I have NEVER had a problem anywhere else with a Swedish massage and yet other reviewers have commented on this. And no, they did NOT reach out to me, only "responded" on Yelp and Tripadvisor to defend themselves. I was never contacted about my reviews, they only responded TO my reviews. Owner also tried to say I was late on Tripadvisor and that's why I heard the loud client. (15 minutes cause it's hidden from main street and I couldn't find it, and I called to let them know) Look, it was a 2 hour long package and the woman arrived early for her appt. I was only 30 minutes into the whole thing, so the disruption STILL would have been in the middle of my session. And they DID ask me to tip $20 on the hour. I thought that was reasonable, but worth commenting because a lot of people don't like surprises. I don't know why the owner is recanting when that WAS what I was told. Some syncing is needed with the staff, it seems. After that huge disappointment, I got a great house call massage (Swedish again) from Coconut Girls, days after to get the relaxation I wanted. I highly recommend them instead! Original Review: I booked a reservation after seeing great reviews on Trip Advisor, especially after seeing one from an athlete who was worked on by one of their masseuses after Ironman. Well, I was disappointed. I booked a Nenewed Spirit for two people. It's a 2 hours long package that includes a salt scrub, hot oil scalp massage and an hour long massage. The salt scrub was lovely, and certainly the best part of the package. It felt great to get all the dry skin from the previous days scoured off! The hot oil scalp massage was very lackluster and actually doesn't get out of your hair easily even with the shampoo I used in their shower (to wash off salt) The scalp massage itself felt featherlight and could have been relaxing if there was more pressure. As a previous reviewer had said, I couldn't get any pressure. It felt like someone was just stroking my back in very light circular motions and none of my knots were addressed either. I did ask for more pressure, but the difference was indecipherable. I'm not really sure why they had us fill out the diagrams where we were feeling trouble spots if none were going to be worked on. It was relaxing to have the oil slathered on, but my shoulder was still sore and knotty as ever. It was a long session, an hour of scrubbing and head massaging before the massage itself... perhaps she was tired? Maybe they should have an assistant or something to do scrubs and minor massages like scalp massages to save energy for the main massage. My boyfriend's massage was excellent, according to him, so I think it's a hit or miss. Also, a huge downside, I was startled out of my restful reverie by a customer coming through the door and loudly exclaiming she was early for her appointment. She continued to talk without any interruption from the receptionist, so you'll hear every conversation. Not quite so relaxing. hint: look for the big light blue lighthouse building on Palani Rd. The entrance is behind the building, and not glaringly obvious. They also ask you to tip $20 per hour, rather than based on the rate itself. read more

Was looking fora same day massage on a Sunday. They were able to get us in late in the afternoon which was perfect. I had Thomas for a 75min deep tissue. I have an ongoing lower back problem and he really addressed the issue and I have felt amazing for the past 2 days. Room was a little too warm and the room isn't completely partitioned off so you do hear some noise but I would definitely return here. read more

I very much enjoyed my treatment with Angela. All the relaxation I needed along with getting some stuff worked out in my neck. Really nice and so accomadting to my massage preferences. The place is cute and clean, staff so warm and friendly. Also I was able to get a same day appointment, a plus when you are visiting. I will be back. read more

First and foremost, if you're looking for a "spa" experience, as in one you would expect a high end resort, that is not what you will get here. This is a tiny little, no frills place and I thought it was perfectly awesome! Thanks to a very generous friend of mine, I was given a $150.00 gift certificate to this establishment for my birthday. I was in dire need of a massage so I decided to research the comments about the therapists here. After reading so many positive reviews about Daisy and how she knows how to give a good deep tissue massage without feeling the pain, normally associated with that type of massage, I decided to book the 90 minute session and I requested Daisy, via their website. I found the online booking experience very easy to navigate, which isn't always the case. I was also pleasantly surprised when I got a phone call from Daisy to let me know that she saw that I had requested her but my requested appointment time was past her shift so I would be with a different therapist. I asked if she had any appointments for the same day, during her shift, to which she replied she did. I told her I had read so many positive reviews about her deep tissue work and I really wanted her to be the one who worked on me. When I walked into this tiny establishment I was greeted by my name with a big smile from Daisy. I appreciated that she introduced herself and shook my hand. Her energy and the vibe in the reception area was really nice. There's a giant water feature at the reception desk which I found to be quite pleasing, not only to the eye but to the ears as well. You start out with a lovely foot bath filled with some fabulous smelling salts, which was a nice touch while I filled out the questionnaire. Not only did Daisy take the time to read what I had filled out, she took the time to discuss in depth what my expecations were and what had caused me the back and neck pain I was experiencing. You would think that would be a given, however, I've been to many spa's where that wasn't the case. Turns out Daisy and I shared 2 common passions; cats and food! She considers herself a foodie and her 3 cats are all rescues.....UMMM....DITTO! I told her she and I were sisters from another mother, as she's also Asian. LOL True to the comments I read, her massage was incredible! I forgot that my session included hot stones so I appreciated her announcing when she was about to use the stones. She checked in frequently to see how the pressure was and if everything was okay. I don't recall ever talking as much while I got a massage, as I did with Daisy. She's so easy to talk to and she stayed totally focused on the task at hand. If you are ever in Kailua-Kona or if you live here, don't miss this experience as it's truly a great value for what you get and be sure to ask for Daisy! read more

This was my first visit to the Lighthouse Spa. Lovely experience with Darlene for a wax. Highly recommend!
