    Wonderful experience. I booked for the day after my arrival after a long trip from North Carolina. What a terrific way to unwind and relax!

    Best spa experience I had on the Big Island. Just driving around Hilo I just came upon the signs…read morefor hot tubs and cold plunges. I checked it out got a day pass and used all their amenities before and after my massage. I loved the extreme hot and cold temperatures they kept. They have a nice and hot jacuzzi, infrared sauna, steam sauna with eucalyptus with temp of 110. Nice and hot just the way I like it. Cold plunge tubs are 45 just cold enough to benefit a real cold plunge. It was great. My massage therapist Habib was amazing he used a technique called body tempering to soothe my aches and pains from chronic tendiopathy. He uses a steel bar bell. If you don't mind a little pain and like getting your facia scraped and rolled out then this technique is just for you. One of the best spa and bathing experiences I ever had . I have been to many spas and bath houses around the world. It was really great. Tips bring your own towel or it will cost you 5 bucks. If you do get a massage come prior and stay after your massage and soak in the tubs and you can shower after. If you are ever in the island and want to soak your body and recover after a long hike or swim check out Sento House. Thanks January Dakota and Habib Mahalo

My massage from Chris was one of the best massages I have ever had, and I have been getting massages for over 30 years to help me with physical challenges I experience. The spa is located in an old, funky building and isn't some super fancy, high end looking spa inside, so don't expect that. But it does have a wonderful feel and the ammenities are fantastic, inlcuding alkaline water, soap, shampoo, conditioner, self-facial tools, and more. And the quality of the experience is beyond, beyond.

    I almost don't want to write this review because I'm selfishly worried that everyone is going to…read morebook Michelle and I won't be able to get an appointment next time! I was visiting Hilo and decided to take a chance on Sea Bird Massage & Spa, a place I had never heard of before. I booked a 90-minute deep tissue massage with hot stones and cupping, not knowing what to expect. When I arrived, I was greeted by Michelle, a petite, warm, and professional therapist who immediately made me feel welcome. The intake process was simple--a single page with a few questions--and within minutes I was led into a peaceful treatment room with relaxing music and a calming atmosphere. For context, I'm 46 years old and get a lot of massages--often one or two a month in California. As an overnight nurse, I carry a tremendous amount of tension in my neck, shoulders, and upper back from years of charting and poor posture. I've experienced the full spectrum of massage therapists: the ones who barely touch you and leave you feeling like you paid to be petted for an hour, and the ones who go so deep that you spend the entire session trying not to crawl off the table. Michelle was neither. She was PERFECT. When I asked for medium pressure, she somehow delivered exactly what my body needed. Not too light. Not too deep. Just right. It honestly felt like she could read my thoughts--or at least hear what my muscles were telling her. She knew exactly where to focus, how long to stay in a tense area, when to ease off, and when to gradually work deeper. I've had countless massages over the years, and Michelle used techniques I had never experienced before. At one point, I genuinely felt like six people were working on me at the same time. I later noticed the bamboo bar above the table and realized she may have been using it for some of her bodyweight techniques. Whatever she was doing, it was incredible. There were moments when she was using her hands while simultaneously applying pressure and stretching in ways that completely melted years of tension. The session included deep tissue work, stretching, cupping, hot stones, hot towels, percussion techniques, scalp massage, face massage, jaw work, neck stretching, and even an eye mask when I turned over. My joints were popping and releasing. My muscles were letting go one by one. I was so relaxed I think I may have been drooling at one point. I kept telling Michelle she was magic because that's honestly what it felt like. She checked in frequently about pressure, was attentive, polite, and incredibly intuitive. Her understanding of anatomy and body mechanics is obvious. Despite her petite size, she has remarkable strength and control. By the end of the session, I felt lighter, looser, and more relaxed than I have in years. My body was practically thanking me. I don't know how long Sea Bird Massage & Spa has been in Hilo, but it is truly a hidden gem. From the outside, you would never guess that one of the most talented massage therapists I've ever encountered is working inside. If you're considering booking here, do it. And if Michelle has an opening, grab it immediately. Thank you, Michelle, for one of the best massages of my life. I only wish I still lived here so I could become a regular. 10/10. Five stars isn't enough.

This was unfortunately my second frustrating experience with Hale Ho'ōla. The first was in September 2022, when Suzanne left me hanging for three days before eventually telling me she couldn't accommodate a couples massage. I decided to give Hale Ho'ōla another chance this year. On September 1, I arranged a couples massage for September 15 to celebrate my wedding anniversary with my husband. Suzanne told me she had availability from 4-8pm, I selected 4pm, and provided my email address as requested. On the morning of our appointment, I realized I'd never received the confirmation email or any instructions, so at 9:54am I texted Suzanne to make sure we were still on for 4pm. She read my message but didn't respond. Around 2pm, as we were preparing for the 2+ hour drive from Kona, I followed up again. She read that message too, but again didn't respond. Suzanne finally called around 2:30pm, after we had already been driving for about 30 minutes. She explained that she'd been dealing with power outages over the previous few days, which I completely understand. However, she also admitted that she had forgotten to put our appointment on her schedule and couldn't see us until after 7pm. I asked whether the following day would work better for her. She said yes it would, but needed to confirm with her other therapist and would get back to me. She never did. I followed up again that evening, which she read without responding. It wasn't until around 4:30pm the following day that she finally texted to say she couldn't make it work. Mistakes and unexpected circumstances happen. What I find unacceptable is the repeated lack of communication. Had Suzanne responded to either of my messages, we never would have started a 2+ hour drive for an appointment that wasn't actually on her schedule. What makes this especially disappointing is that we had specifically planned this couples massage as part of our wedding anniversary celebration. Her lack of communication and organization threw a wrench into our plans and wasted precious vacation time that we can't get back. Instead of enjoying that time together, we spent it driving toward an appointment that didn't exist and then waiting around the following day to find out whether she could accommodate us. As a small business owner myself, I understand that running a business isn't easy. But communicating with customers and honoring confirmed arrangements -- or promptly taking responsibility when something goes wrong -- is basic professionalism.

What a way to run your business Lawrence. I do not recommend this place nor will reschedule with this place. Horrible customer service! In addition, for a business owner, this is poor practice!
