I got an hour massage with Rose and she really gave it her all. She was totally working my muscles and getting into the tight spots. I felt like the whole hour, she did not slack off once and it was relaxing, but also effective. I found the place to be clean and quiet and for $55 you really can't beat it. read more

I received a massage a couple of weeks ago as a walk in and it was great! I came when they opened so the woman was still preparing some things in the back. Im sorry I dont remember the woman's name but she was able to see me right away. I wanted a full body massage and though there is a language barrier she understood. Many of the reviews criticize the lack of English but still want a Asian massage from this business and it is embarressing to read. Those who did not like their massage were also ineffective in communicating what kind of massage they were looking for. I am disappointed in the amount of negativity there is towards the employees based on their English. If you wanted an Asian massage, who did you think was going to massage you? I typically let the masseuse do what they think is best and can tell them with MY inability to speak their first language if I would like to change the pressure. I look for firm massages to relieve hip and lower back pain as well as release tension from my shoulders, neck, and upper back. I find strong pressure is BEST for these things. I was able to get the massage I was looking for here. I am happy with my experience and the massage I received. I slept better that day and felt less tense the day after as I typically do with a good massage. Having had multiple Thai massages which I think fit best for what Im looking for, this massage was perfect for correcting the pain I had in my body as well as slightly correcting my posture so I sit/stand up straighter. I do not recognize which dialect they were speaking but I hope to learn some phrases to help them feel more comfortable when working with me as well as communicate my preferences read more

First, let me start by saying I have never rated a business or restaurant less than 3 stars while being a "Yelper". That is until our experience at Moonlight Spa the other day. You could not pay me to go back. It's honestly hard to describe the experience we had (girlfriend and I) because it's so shocking. I've tried to summarize our experience below so you don't make the same mistake. We got a "1hr relaxation massage." #1). Very hard to understand. My gf said she understood what everyone was saying, but I struggled at times. Everyone did seem friendly (in the beginning). We had a couples massage. #2). The massage bed you lay on was a bit firm. Forget the bed though, when you put your face in the chair your chin was resting on a metal bar! The entire time my chin and my gfs chin were up against a metal bar. Super uncomfortable. #3). Massage technique was the worst I have ever experienced. No joke, we almost got up and left after 15 minutes but thought that would be rude. It felt as if they were trying to Speed Wrestle with us. Very abrasive technique and rushing from one strange maneuver to the other. #4). Both ladies were literally hopping on top of the bed and off the bed constantly to get leverage. Up and down up and down... so not relaxing. #5). More elbow than I've ever had in my life. That is not relaxing and doesn't feel good. They were constantly on the bed grinding their elbow over our bodies. It was so unpleasant. #6). No attention to customer experience. Constantly banging into the bed and jolting the bed so you could never get comfortable. Felt like mini earthquake after mini earthquake. Again, even if they hadn't bumped the bed continually, nothing about the massage was comfortable or relaxing. The lights seemed to be on full brightness the entire time. Spotlights on you. #7). They are not afraid of the butt massage. Literally they pull your underwear down and massage your cheeks. I'm Not opposed to this, but think about an elbow just grinding into your butt cheeks... again just terrible. #8). About half way through the massage they said something (I didn't understand) and left the room. I was hoping the 1 hr massage was over, but turned and looked at my gf and asked her what was going on. My gf translated for me and told me they were getting "hot towels". I asked my gf at this point in time if any part of her massage was enjoyable and she confirmed it was not. She said she was hoping it was over also. #9). The ladies return with hot towels and throw them on our backs and then just start scrubbing us up and down. These must have been 10 thread count towels because sand-paper would have felt better. Worst part was they did this technique on our entire body scrubbing up and down with scratchy towels. What the heck is going on? 10). This was the cherry on top... after surviving the towel rub of death, the elbows in the back and butt, terrible massage technique, the deal was sealed when they literally took my arm in a stretching motion and then violently jerked it and pulled it. What the heck is going on? She literally started tugging on my arm like that was relaxing? #11). After my arms felt like they had been yanked out of my socket, they then proceeded to do the same thing to our fingers. Yanking on our fingers!!!! My gf thought they were going to rip her nail off. Again... what are they even thinking? I guarantee you these women have no massage experience. #12). It gets better... they literally started hitting my wrist. They bent my wrist and then smacked my wrist two times (not painful, just startling and weird). #13). They then bent my arm back behind my body as if I was being handcuffed and grinded into my shoulder blade (ouch). After that they bent my legs back as if I was meditating. #14). To end the massage they soak your entire face in some oil rubbing it all over (chin, nose, cheeks, mouth, eyes, etc).... nasty! #15). When the worst massage either one of us has ever had finally ended (if I could have paid to leave early I would have... again without being rude), we dressed up and went to pay. #16). They charge you a $1 service charge to use credit card. Then it's like a pack of wolves emerges. The two ladies that gave us a massage plus the lady up front ask about TIP? Not only do they ask, but the one lady that beat me up the last hour starts telling me "$20 tip both us. Yes. $20. We work hard." I said, "no thanks." She said, "yes have do $20 tip each work hard." I've never felt so awkward in my life. Please don't make the same mistake we did. Seriously there is no price worth this experience. The massages were $50 a piece by the way. You'd be better off taking that $100 and have someone ride a bike over you, take a pogo stick to your back, and then kick you. Save your money. read more

What a bad experience. Obviously, you book a massage when you need to relax a bit.. and I felt anything but relaxed. When I arrived the woman behind the desk greeted me and I had no idea what she was saying, I let her know I couldn't understand her but that I had a 5:00 appointment and my name was Jamie. She kept saying, "call"? I responded, "Yes, I called" She showed me her iphone with the name Amy at 6:00. I said, no, Jamie, at 5. She then walked me back to a room with 2 beds, thin sheets and a bit brighter lighting than I would have expected and motioned for me to take off my clothes. She shut the door and I waited for a massage therapist to enter- no one ever did. I came back out and asked what was going on and I don't think she understood me. I asked her, "can you understand what I'm saying?" She couldn't. I hate to post such a bad review- but it was an awful experience. I went behind the desk myself to get by groupon paper back. This was anything but relaxing. read more

I needed a massage so bad and I'm so glad I found Moonlight Spa! I had a full body, 60 min massage and it was SO GOOD! What a cute place, and the girls were wonderful. I will definitely be making this a regular thing because they've made me feel so much better and this place is great. Finally some relaxation and relief! Thank you Moonlight! read more

I was feeling super stressed and I was looking for a place.. I go in to try. The girl who has long experiences for massages. She is professional. Gave me the best massage ever and seriously my neck and my back pain went away..I was so happy! Will back see her soon! read more

I made an appointment last Saturday afternoon with my favorite Massage Therapist, Anna. As usual she was waiting when I arrived and asked me if I minded waiting two more minutes for a bigger room to be cleaned. Of course I don't! While I was waiting another lady sang a Chinese song to me which mellowed me out even more. Anna cleaned the room and changed the sheets and since I always go in freshly showered we were ready to go. I always do two hours with Anna because she is such an excellent masseuse that: 1) its worth the money to get the best service 2) gives her time to address trouble spots (I have a very bad lower back and left shoulder) I've met most of the girls here and here and yes, their English isn't perfect. They also took a few minutes to figure out my groupon. And I say......SO WHAT, you're there to get a massage and maybe relax a little. Those women lock themselves in small rooms with big men or help you rub your (smelly?) feet, and for not a lot of money. So..... give 'me a break. I will criticize their English when I speak better Chinese than them. Have some patience. 'Nuf said. As usual, Dr. Anna, as I affectionally call her, gave me two hours of hard massage which loosened me up and alleviated my pain for the last two days. I appreciate what she does for me and I reward her for her work, just as I would do any other professional. Oh, in case your thinking anything else, Anna is a pure professional. So, make an appointment, hopefully with Anna, go in with a chill attitude and leave feeling like a new person. Oh, and tip well!!!! read more

I had a gift certificate so I was excited to give this place a try. I made an appointment in advance and got in within 24 hours. I got the full body massage, and my therapist found all of my knots. She also used hot rocks and a warm towel to finish it off. I was going to give this place a 4 or 5 star review, until I went to leave a tip. I had a $20 bill and needed change. She asked how much I wanted back, and when I said $15 she told me the minimum for an hour massage was a $10 tip. Since when is there a required minimum 20% tip?! Even though I enjoyed the massage, I will not be returning due to this experience. Very disappointing! read more

They were running a Groupon so before buying I called an asked if there was availability today. There was and she asked if I had already bought the Groupon and I said no and she asked that I don't buy it but pay them directly. I generally don't have a doing what is best for a local business. I have the massage and it was fine but when I go to pay she says I have to leave a $20 tip. I told her there was no disclosure to that affect and she said that is what the charge is. Fine left the tip but buyer beware if I had to do this through the actual Groupon I would have been given credit for the full amount. Not a good way to start a new local business. No recommendation from me read more

I purchased a Groupon in hopes that I would find a new massage place. Before scheduling my appointment I checked yelp and got worried at the most recent reviews. I called to schedule my appointment 2 days in advance. They didn't ask for my telephone number only my name. I arrived 10 minutes early anticipating filling out paperwork but when I came in the woman looked confused. I told her I had an appointment, she asked for my phone number and I informed her no one took my information when I booked over the phone. She told me I was late (for an appointment she didn't have me booked for) and I politely informed her I was 10 minutes early. She brought me back to a couples room, didn't have me fill out any paperwork, didn't ask me what type of massage I wanted just told me to lay face down. Upon expressing my concern regarding no paperwork or consult with the therapist she respond "you can fill paper out if you want" I just said no and stated I wanted a firm upper body massage. Back and neck only. Even before the massage started, I noticed the face protector had makeup from a previous client so I took a picture for proof. The massage was very fast, not slow and steady like the many massages I've had prior and she kept trying to massage my legs. On top of all of that the walls are paper thin, you could hear the other workers loudly conversing and the therapist was talking to them, in another language, while she was massaging me, through the wall. She left to get something and took a long time and kept asking if I had a hair tie. I will not be going back to this location and warn anyone going here or purchasing a Groupon. Worst massage I've ever had. Gave my tip and left confused. read more

Moon Light Spa - Used face protector prior to starting my massage..... - Massage Near Me - Encinitas, California

If only I could give zero stars I went once before and had Gina who was amazing with full body and cupping. I took my husband and friend and between the three of us, we all stated how bad it was. I was in a couples room with my friend and they couldn't even figure out to cup where the cupping kept coming off. I told them repeatedly. My friend Bruises beyond and she doesn't have any marks bc they didn't even suction. We told the front desk and she simply shrugged. We will never return and may dispute the credit card. read more

The luxury looking environment is much better than any other Asian massage place. Very reasonable pricing and very good services! the massage therapist I got was really fun to talk to. He has really strong hands took care all the knots I have on my back! Awcome place to go in town ! read more

Life has been coming at me pretty fast lately. I was in dire need of a release. A friend in passing mentioned Moon Light Spa to me, and I couldn't be more thankful! I was greeted by friendly professional staff upon my arrival, immediately relaxed by the soothing ambience, and felt super refreshed after my session. The question isn't if I'll be back, it's a matter of how often I'll be visiting. So glad businesses like this exist. Thanks for everything Moon Light! read more

I came in today for a 90 full body massage. The spa seemed peaceful and clean, and the treatment room was too, so I thought I'd enjoy my experience. I went about 15 mins of my massage with no music, hearing who ever it was talking outside of my massage room so I asked for some music. She hurried and got some, but by this time I got the impression she was either very new or not trained. Not just because of the music but because of how she approached my body as though she was unfamiliar with the muscular and skeletal systems. She continued the "standard" compression up and down each side of he body while the drape was still covering me. This went on a good half hour, until I asked her to use oil as the friction of the scratchy drape was starting to be uncomfortable. Then I thought, finally! I can relax into this massage. She through the drape off me loosely (which is unprofessional to say the least,but I didn't care) Minutes later a vacuum or blow dryer went off.... I lifted my head up and looked at the clock, it was just under an hour, it went off and then immediately on again. I told her I'd be leaving and got up. She went out and had words with whoever it was outside the door with the vacuum. She came back in and I told her I was discontinuing my massage and leaving. I went up and paid for the 60 mins (which I probably shouldn't have even done!) at the advertised special price and left. I won't be returning, and don't recommend this place to anyone. I'm a licensed massage therapist and based off this, I think it's safe to assume that here people are not educated or licensed. Total waste of money and time. I also want to mention that I have a spinal injury from being rear ended and was really hoping to get some pain relief. read more

Worst massage I've ever had. I left after 20 minutes of a 90 minute season. The lady just rubed my back when I specifically requested deep tissue. I've been there in the past with a different massage therapist and she knew what she was doing but she doesn't work there any more. I don't recommend going there. I would give it 0 stars if I could. read more

Worst massage ever. I had an appointment at 10am and arrived at 9:55, the women who was to massage me didn't arrive to open the spa until 10:15. I had a Groupon and she didn't scan it just took a picture on her phone, makes me wonder if they even keep track of them. Women left the room twice to get things she had forgotten and was noisy when opening and closing the door. The lights were on in the massage room and the music stopped playing halfway through. No relaxing ambiance. I asked her to focus on my lower back and she still just did a full body massage when I was very clear I needed that area to be focused on. When she was done she just said "all done" and walked out. It was very odd and not relaxing. Won't be going back. read more

Have been here in the past and I am not sure what happened. I had an older lady who was very nice but the experience was horrible. First she left the door cracked which was uncomfortable because I could see people walking by, next she kept burping and kept her cell phone on the table so I felt every time it vibrated and she would stop to check it and then the massage itself was so bad, she kept jerking me around then no pressure at all then super hard and she used so much oil that she kept slipping and scratching me, I tried to tell her but she spoke zero English. Finally she brought out of the hot towel and didn't let it cool so it burned me on my back and again on my legs. All around the experience was really bad. When I went to check out (already having paid online before I arrived) they said please leave a tip so I felt totally uncomfortable when In this situation I would not have tipped at all. read more

Great apot for the price, the cheapest I've found since I left LA. I did the fully body massage for 50$ which is extremely reaaonable for any service thia close to the water in north county. Id auggest checking them out in a weekday so you wont have to reserve a apot on advance. read more

90-minute couples massage with Nancy and Grace were phenomenal!! Highly recommend. Hot stones included in 90 minute massage. Hidden gem!

I booked what I thought would be a relaxing massage, I booked it online, received a confirmation email with my time and the cost, and followed instructions to call the shop to confirm my appointment. They acted like they had no idea what their online system even was. They asked me to come in at 2:15pm, instead of my 2pm appointment, I agreed, confirmed and showed up at 2:15pm for my appointment. Then sat. And waited. As they tried to figure out who I was and what service I was to receive even though I had a confirmation email and had made a confirmation call. Twenty minutes later, I was told to go into a massage room, and got ready for my body massage portion of my foot/body massage combo. Then I was asked by two separate employees to confirm my time and my services. While on the table. THEN I was asked to put my clothes on and start with my foot massage portion. It is now 2:45pm. After that everything was fine, great technique, great pressure. Then I go to pay, and was asked to pay $40 more than what was told to me online, and over the phone. After going in circles and showing my confirmation email with a price they agreed I was right and took my payment and I left. Worst customer service ever, I think I need a massage after my massage. read more

Very serene and clean space, therapists on both visits were excellent and very professional. After two visits, a nagging back issue I had for months, was completely gone. Highly recommend if you are looking for therapeutic deep massage services . read more

On vacation and popped in at 3pm on a Saturday. Not too busy and I enjoyed a quiet massage. The greater at front was very friendly and got me right in.

Great massages at this place. Very clean, great staff, and good cost. Sara is a favorite there!

Lovely small spa. Excellent massage. Nancy is the best. I will come again，recommend this place.

excellent price and the massage therapists are highly trained. much better than any massage chain where employees are typically fresh out of an American based school. Asian trained----much better! I recommend! read more

First of all I was very happy they were able to get me in as a walk in. When I first walked in the place looked clean and nice so I figured everything was going to be great. There was a large language barrier with the lady who greeted me but that didn't seem to be a huge deal at first. I pointed to the service I wanted and was instructed to pay first. Paying first was no problem however for a massage I prefer to pay and tip after. She ran my card I put in a tip then was promptly scolded that I didn't tip enough! I thought that was extremely unprofessional especially when you ask someone to pay and tip you for a service that hasn't even been done. The massage was good but was shorted about 10mins of an hour and a half body and foot massage. read more

Best massage ever. Nice clean environment. Sarah did a 90 minute massage (60 minute +30 foot massage).

Beware of this place. Very unsanitary. I literally walked in and had to walk out because it was so disgusting. There was a lot of hair on the beds. Didn't look like it has been cleaned. The linens looked old and moldy and it was not a relaxing setting at all. In addition, they used paper towels for the head rest. I wish I took photos. The photos of the place on yelp are outdated. It doesn't not look that nice. read more

I just walked in without an appointment. My feet and lower legs have been killing me and my back has been locked up for months. I decided to try the 1 hour Foot Reflexology and was happy to see that the lotion and oil they use is fragrance free since I have allergies. They took me to a room with 3 recliners and I was the only one there. Clothes are kept on, my pants rolled up and just a T Shirt on. They start off with an herbal soak for the feet while she massaged my head and face. Then she started on my feet and legs. I've never had reflexology before so I don't know if she was hitting the right pressure points or anything but it didn't hurt as much as I though it would and my legs and feet started feeling a little better. After that she had me turn over and started pushing down on my back and legs. It actually hurt a little but my back, butt and legs were bothering me for a long time (Even Chiro, a full body massage, and acupuncture didn't help) so I figured maybe it would loosen me up. It really did - my legs, feet, and sciatica feel much better than they have in a long time. I have fibromyalgia and was expecting to be really sore the next day like I usually am after a massage but I wasn't sore. Very surprised, I actually felt better than I did after going to a really good massage therapist and for less than half the cost. The hour long price was $40 and I left a $10 tip. Now, it's not the most relaxing type of massage if that's what you're looking for, there is a language barrier, and someone kept coming in and out to talk to the woman who was working on me but the results are what matters. Stupid me didn't get her name, so I don't know if this applies to all of the women working there. read more

These ladies are unbelievably rude. I have been here multiple times and today I came in looking to get a massage but I'm on a schedule because i need to pick my son up from school within 2 hrs. They let me know next appointment wasn't available until an hr + from then so I politely said I would need to come back another time. I then asked if I could use their restroom as I'm 6 months pregnant and desperately needed to go. The woman was extremely rude and said the bathroom was for customers only. I'm sorry but I've been here before....I was just trying to book an appointment and I'm pregnant. What the hell kind of logic or customer service is that. She then proceeded to tell me to walk to TJ Maxx...I honestly can't believe how rude she was and how willing she was to allow me to suffer because I wasn't handing her money. I will never come here and will always let others know the true care an concern these women have for their customers. Which is NONE. read more

The guy up front is an idiot. The only good masseuse is Eva, everyone else is mediocre. You can walk in to schedule an appt, then return for the appt to find out they have double booked and basically you're SOL. There was no trying to compensate for their blatant error, and wasting your time! If a guy picks up the phone, don't bother because he has no idea what he's doing. He has no idea how to read a calendar. read more

This place is amazing, well priced, professional, and clean. They never had an issue scheduling me last minute. The massage is excellent. I have been here four times and obsessed. For the full body massage, I got cranial, shoulders, neck, back, arms, hands, legs and feet rub. My therapist Jenny got all up in the knots and joints. After the massage, I am so relaxed and feel like a new person. read more

This spa shop is so great. I tried the full body massage here for one hour. It's so comport. I relaxed from working. Thanks Lynn . Also it is good for my neck and shoulder. Since driving a lot, I think I have to be here every week. read more

The room is beautiful and nice. The masseur did a great job on my shoulders. It really helped to relax my back. Lisa is very friendly too. I like her using her thumbs to rub off my knots on the big muscles. It really reduces the pressure. I recommend girls to try Lisa. She is very nice. By the way, I found all the masseurs in this shop are female. This makes me feel very comfortable. I just don't like male masseur. They are too strong. I just need a relaxing and medium massage. read more

Went in with neck pain for a 1hr massage, came out feeling great. Each massage therapist seemed very well trained and knowledgeable of acupressure points. The pricing is really reasonable for what you get in return. $50 for 1hr full body massage, $40 for 1hr foot reflexology massage. I will definitely be coming back here again. read more

This is probably the best massage I've ever had, and I've had a fair amount of massages. It's so different than your typical chain massage place. Don't let the tiny Asian lady fool you, she can apply a lot of force! I came in complaining of neck pain, so she spent 40-45 min on my neck and shoulder region. At times it was painful, but the best kind of pain. The pain that leads to relief of pain. She incorporated hot rocks, hot towels, lotion, and oils. At times she was straddling me on the table pulling my limbs. It was an incredible experience from start to finish, and I can't recommend it enough. I may be a bit sore tomorrow, but I can already feel a decrease in neck pain and an increase in range of motion. read more
