I booked a deep tissue massage at Santa Cruz Spa with Adrian, and it honestly exceeded every…read moreexpectation. I get massages pretty regularly (refuge, Monterey plaza etc), and this was one of the best I've had. Adrian had that perfect balance of pressure--strong enough to actually make a difference, but never crossing the line. He checked in a couple times without breaking the flow, and targeted the areas that have been tight. Easily a 10/10 and I'll definitely be booking with him again. As for the facilities, the staff were super welcoming and professional and everything was insanely clean/well maintained. My wife had a massage at the same time and her experience was the same. It's great to have a place in Santa Cruz at this level as I'm over driving to Monterey/Carmel for an amazing massage.

Terrible experience. They cannot communicate, they are rude. The massage was extremely rough…read more Almost as if the massage therapist was angry. The sheets looked so old, I wondered if they washed them. Even if they did washroom, they still looked awful. I had second thoughts the moment I walked in, but was in a bit of a desperate situation with my shoulder. You almost get this feeling that this is a human trafficking situation, and that the people that work there are forced to work there. I seriously wonder if that's the case.

We specifically asked for 2 females but one of us got a male. Rooms were dirty, cluttered and linens looked used. Dark and musky. No mood lighting, aromatherapy or anything to help the vibe in this rotten place. The massage was honestly terrible. I was never able to relax. Just kept wondering when it would be over so I could put my clothes back on and gtf outa there. So awkward. My friend and I always have a good laugh when we talk about our experience here.

Terrible massage and then forced to tip extra…read more Where to even start, horrible or no technique for the massage at all it was just random rubbing not intentional or intuitive. Most of the time she used no pressure and just grazed her hands over me, i dont actually know how someone could give a massage that felt so bad no only was it extremely light pressure somehow it was painful. She would be tugging and knocking and all sorts of things to compensate for the no pressure. It also felt like her hands were just going over my body no finger work or skill al. Also both me and my friend felt like the next day we felt worse than before our massage, back/neck pain wise like they used very improper technique The worst part: what completely took me out of spa mode. I tipped 20% and they demanded i tip more, it was very awkward and uncomfortable and i felt pressured to tip more even though we hated our massage.

Yelp certainly did its job highlighting this beautiful establishment. It's so quaint that they run…read morethe business out of a Victorian home. It smelled so good when I walked in and the gals at the front desk were very nice. When I filled out my new client form I got to sit in the cute waiting room. Afterwards I was able to pick out the different combinations of scents to go into my lotion. I chose to have Lisa do my massage. I got the 80 minute 5 senses massage. Lisa had great reviews, so I felt like I would be in good hands. She made sure my bed was nice and warm when I first laid down. She was very thorough asking about the sort of pressure I needed and any additional special requests. I have really bad knees, so she worked around them and her pressure was just perfect with all of the areas she massaged. I loved getting my hands and feet wrapped and the heated neck rest was really a nice touch. I walked out of there feeling like I was on a cloud. Lisa is the best! I'll definitely be back.

I've had two 2-hour massages and one 60-minute session here, and every single one was excellent--incredible technique, perfect pressure, deeply relaxing, and truly therapeutic. Aida is magical.

Thank you a million times. This place is something special.

I went in to try a 60 minute massage for the 1st time yesterday. I texted the main number the day before to make a 2pm appointment on a Thursday for a deep tissue massage. My therapist was Noni. Overall, it was a good massage, but it was more of a swedish massage with some hot stone treatment thrown in. Pressure was good, and my therapist did regularly ask if the pressure was right. She did cover my full body, worked my back and neck really well, and included some stretching in the full 60 minutes. However, it did seem a bit frantic and rushed and not quite as relaxing as I prefer. Will probably give them another try and request a 90 minute deep tissue sports massage without the hot stones. Currently $60 cash/$63 credit card for 60 minutes. Almost all the therapists are female.
