I had the 60 min hydrating facial today. The massage was amazing, perfect for me, and I felt my skin really relax and soften from the different organic products used and the facial massage. What made the facial really earn five stars was that they really take care to stimulate blood flow and drain excess lymphatic fluid from your face and neck, which requires the right technique and pressure. Most other spas I've been to just massage your face gently with products, but don't focus on draining excess fluid down the jawline and neck, away from the face. Afterwards I felt very relaxed and my skin had a nice soft healthy glow to it. New Year's Resolution is to come back for this facial once a month :). read more

Report on Sabai Thai Spa Location: Coal Harbour Interior: Natural comfort - wood, bamboo, earthy tones Ideally For: A place to take yourself, your girls, and your mom Service: Manicure Price: $49 Duration: 1 hour Details: File, cuticle care, buff, exfoliation, lotion massage, and polish application. Massage: Great. About 5 minutes...likely the longest I've had for a mani, and great pressure. Comments: Service REALLY is wonderful. Fellow Yelpers have been raving about it, and most of them went with Groupons. Anyone who shops and primps and pampers as much as I do, knows there a minutiae of shame that comes with buying and using these deals. There shouldn't be. Yet there is. I think it has a lot to do with the fact we're treated so poorly when we hand them over. It's much like using Priceline to book a hotel. Everyone wants to save a few bucks when they can, and there are options that let us. Sadly, it costs a bruised ego. Not at Sabai Thai. 99% of their staff were lovely. The other 1%? Well that just my own neuroses. Something about them irked me - could have been their lack of professionalism, or their talk-to-much approach. Sadly, my manicure did not last. It chipped on day 2. That's where they lost points. Granted, Sparitual isn't known for its longevity. It may have something to do with the fact it's organic and vegan. Sometimes added chemicals have their upside. Either way, I liked it enough to go back. This time I'm going to try their thai massage. It's expensive, but if service and quality remain consistent - they'll become a favourite monthly treat. It's not a luxurious oasis, but it is a cute little day spa without the pretentious pompous nonsense. Products: Eminence for facials and Sparitual for hands and feet. Longevity: Poor Final Grade: B read more

The experience at Sabai Thai Spa Coal Harbour is always wonderful. Staffs are very welcoming and polite. I can't wait to return.

I got the Groupon deal so went in this week for a 90 minutes Thai Royal massage. They were a bit under staff that they locked the door so I had to wait outside the spa for while. However, once I was inside, the staff are very friendly and I was sent to the massage room right away. I have to say - this is probably the best massage I have had in years. I am always so sore from all kinds of massage. But the Thai massage I got from the therapist Mercil was wonderful. I've never felt so relaxed. Definitely go back again now that they have introduced me how wonderful massage could be :) read more

Just finished a visit to this spa. Bought a travelzoo offer for the serenity package which is a 60 min massage and 30 min facial for $107. Added bonus is you can park at the parking lot across from Westin and they validate it at Sabai ... It was fantastic! Can't say enough great things about the session. Wasn't a typical Thai massage where they stretch hand pull u in all sorts of ways.. It was a nice pressured relaxing massage. Will definitely return.. Also found out that u don't need to buy a deal online. Just call them up and you can get the same deal for $99! Great!!!! Can't get any better than this... Now off for some sushi! I Love vancouver! read more

I came here a while back with a friend. Really enjoyed the overall experience. Would love to check out their other locations in the near future. read more

I was on vacation here and I decided to get a massage! This was a deep tissue massage, but it was not the traditional thai massage I originally thought I would get (when the therapist stands on your back). Price was higher. Staff was friendly and welcoming Therapist did a good job. Parking is kinda hard to find if the street is full. read more

I received my first ever Thai massage 24 hours ago and I feel amazing. I was visiting Vancouver for a few days and the really wanted to get a massage. I looked up this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try since it was within walking distance of my hotel and the reviews were good. The facility is very nicely appointed and super clean which is a big thing for me. My therapist Ruby was excellent. She explained the treatment and had me change into some loose fitting pajama type clothing. Her pressure was great and she was very good about checking in on my comfort. Some of the stretches can be intense and I appreciated that she checked in. I highly recommend trying out the traditional Thai massage if you've never experienced one before. I will definitely be back when I am in Vancouver. read more

My Valentine surprised me with this 90 min massage. The Groupon saved about 200 dollars for a two 90 min massages. The ladies at the front desk were very nice and accommodated my running 15 mins late. The place smells like sage or rosemary, very nice. My masseuse Annie was gentle and but firm where I needed it. I found out a lot about my body and that I need a lot of kinks worked out. My Valentine loved his massage and we'll most likely go again. Oh and the ginger tea is lovely. read more

Sabai Thai Spa - Refreshment area - Massage Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Had a wonderful, deep massage that has helped my very sore shoulders relax tremendously. The entire massage was so relaxing. That was followed by a facial. Best facial I have had in many years. Highly recommend Sabai Thai Spa! read more

Fantastic staff & service. I've been here a number of times and always had an excellent experience. The massage is amazing (most recently with Wendy, who's fantastic) and everyone is very nice, very helpful. Best tip I have if to pick off one of their promotions, they're well worth it. read more

Yeah, yeah yeah. I bought and used a Groupon here. And you know what? It was so worth the shame of using it. I loved my experience here. I had already eyed this spa as it's right around the corner from work, so when a Groupon came up for a massage and facial service, I jumped at it! The place was very relaxing, the masseuse was great - she used really good pressure, and the products they use feel very nice. I will def. be back for more! read more

I frequently visit this spa. It's a great spot to escape busy downtown Vancouver. The treatments are great and there is usually a super deal of some kind or another to make it great value. The eminence products are always great and never pushed upon you. I plan on joining as a member soon!! It has its privileges!!! read more

The massage area itself is well-decorated, within a few minutes I felt relaxed and away from the outside world. If you never had a Thai massage before, this will be a unique experience altogether. You will be bent, rolled, stretched, and stepped on. I have to admit that some portions were difficult to handle and took a fair amount of concentrated breathing, but I've been through so many Thai Massages that now, this is fairly easy to endure. For me, the massage is always more workout than relaxation. I was initially really sore from the gym so this helped tremendously!! After our session, we were brought out to the sitting area with some tea. This is more of a drop in drop out kind of spa, for someone who just wants to go for a good massage with professional skilled staffs and a welcoming interior. It's for those who wants to leave all that extra spa perks behind and just get to the point; putting on a robe, changing to sandals, lockers etc. The service here is always really good, they provided numerous other services such as relaxation massage for those who wants to opt out of the Thai Massage. They provide facials, even manicure & pedicure. For more info and photo of this review, please refer to my blog! read more

Great spa. Good deal for what you get. Very relaxing and professional place. My husband and I often choose Sabai Thai as our go to place for a spa treatment. Staff are friendly, efficient and patient. The facial and massages are very good. read more

We love going to the Saba Thai spa. There is a s one we go to close to where we live in Port Coquitlam which has a couple's room so we go for incredible pampering in there. If only there was a room wherever you could just nap together after, because you are so incredibly relaxed after they are done with you. The only thing lacking in this location is a common steam or sauna room for us to use before treatment. But still well worth experiencing. The traditional Thai massage is so awesome. As are several of the packages with massage and facial etc. read more

I visited last year (pre-Covid) but loved my experience! I wish the facial was a bit more in-depth but overall the facility is beautiful, clean and feels like you've escaped Canada! Great deals available too :) read more

Always a good experience here! Friendly staff and top notch massages, my back feels a million times better!

Been going to this spa for over 10 years. No disappointment everytime. Awesome massages and customer service.

WOW !!! THE BEST !! I really liked my treatments here at Sabai Thai Spa. It just felt like prefect, the spa practitioner let me have my time and silence, though she was just the right amount of friendly. I had a facial and massage. The facial was unbelievable experiance. They use really good organice products" Eminence" I love it, smell good and my skin look so good after, I have very sensitive skin. My skin was radiant for weeks after. I would highly recommend them for their service and car, all staff are friendly and nice. I like the atmosphere with Thai style decore that make a place so unicque, warm and welcome, Will be back again soon. read more

Having been to more than a few spas around town I can honestly say this place is fantastic! I treated my boyfriend to a hot bamboo massage for his birthday while I got a bliss facial. Unfortunately they don't have a space large enough for side-by-side treatments but this wasn't a problem for me. Hands down the best facial I've gotten in this city. I can't remember my esthetician's name but she was extremely knowledgeable and left my skin glowing. The space is lovely and parking is free during your treatment. They also always have monthly specials which is great if you're looking to treat yourself every once in a while. The one thing holding me back from a five star rating is the fact that they don't have a lounge or comfortable waiting space. My treatment was slightly delayed, which they were super apologetic about and also ensured that my treatment time wasn't cut back, but they only waiting space is right at the front by the receptionist desk and is super cramped and the bench is fairly uncomfortable. So if you're looking for that full spa experience where there's space to relax before and after your treatment this is not the spa for you, otherwise absolutely recommend Sabai Thai! read more

Good massages. Many different packages and location to choose from. Friendly people. They are always having promos which is great.

I booked a massage for 2 people after talking to someone whose name started with a "P" on the live chat on the website. I booked and confirmed with her for Saturday August 12 at 3:00 pm for both of us and today I received a call saying that we were booked online as 2 separate appointments on different days and times, which is ridiculous and makes no sense. I booked an appointment together as my friend's birthday present and now we cannot go because the original date and weekend is booked full at the Port Coquitlam location. I never received an email confirmation either after the live chat conversation. Why even bother having a live chat if the person on the other end can't even book an appointment correctly? read more

I have been to this spa location many times and have always had an amazing experience! The masseuses give the perfect pressure and the rooms and music are very relaxing:D read more

This was my first time at this spa. I bought a groupon that included 60 min massage and 30 min facial. Spa is easy to get to with lots of parking. There is a small waiting area in the front. No changing into robes or relaxing in a lounge. You go straight into the room. I didn't care about this but some might. The lady took me into the room asked what areas in wanted massaged more. I said mostly neck and shoulders. And said mainly everything from the hips and up is tight. Then she asked about my skin what type it was. Isn't this her job to look at my skin? Anyways I said dry/dehydrated. So she leaves and I get into the bed. Takes me awhile to get comfy but i did..for about 10 mins. The headrest was horrible! So hard and digging into my face. I kept having to shift to find a spot. She starts the massage on my back. It's okay. Within 3 mins she asks about the pressure. I said it was okay. At that time she was doing okay but as the massage went on it felt lighter. And really how can you tell after 3 mins. I figured she was just warming up. Anyways. Massages my back..Meh. A bit on the back of arms and hands. Goes to my legs...Meh. .I don't really care for my legs massaged. Turns me..does the front of my legs... meh. Then! She goes and starts the facial! What about my neck and shoulders!! The one place I asked you too! At this point I have a massive headache from the headrest and from my sore neck. I didn't even enjoy the facial. All I kept thinking about was my neck. I also feel that a bit more time was spent on the facial than advertised. At the end of the facial she ends with 3 mins of light neck and shoulder massage. Yay.... My head is pounding and I just wanted to leave. I felt like crap all night and was so cranky. My advice to the spa. Make sure u spend time on the area the client says. Also i really think it's better to do the massage FULLY. Then take a look at the skin. Go get the products and then start the facial. I was so disapointed. And there regular prices are kind of high. I'd never go back. I'd be to scared of the massage I'd get. Sorry... read more

Had a lovely facial by Sachi, she did a wonderful job and I have only nice things to say about the facial service itself. After the service, it was hard to get one of the 4 ladies at reception to give me a glass of water. They did it, but appeared unhappy to be bothered by me, the customer. I then gave Sachi a cash tip when I saw her, it was a modest amount so she took it and said nothing, I suspect she was unhappy it was not more $$. I find the facial pricy, so I am unsure why the tips have to be high, I wish the owners could just pay proper wages to their staff. The main receptionist then tried to push buying a "package" a few times, and she overcharged me on taxes, which I had to wait for her to correct once I asked her to do so. I wish such a lovely facial had a better ending. This is a nice "small" spa but it has no amenities. It can be a lovely experience if you are willing to "tip generously". This will also get you access to the slightly less uncomfortable ... but still uncomfortable, sitting area behind the reception for a couple of minutes to wind up. Generous tipping is something the staff seem to "expect" from the customer, not for "over and above" service, but simply for service. The customer must pay part of the wages directly to the staff ... after paying for a pricy service to begin with. And the pricing is a gimmick. They "always" give you the "discounted" rate of $149, but one should buy instead from Groupon when they have a sale, to get a decent rate. No facial or massage they do would be a $250 to $300 value, that is just a silly pricing game they play. read more

Amazing! I went in with sciatica (have had it a month)... received the massage as a gift and didn't really want them massaging that area as I wanted a relaxing experience. But, she totally knew what she was doing! She didn't avoid the area at all, and I feel great! Throughout the massage she was so in tune with my body, worked on problem areas I didn't even know I had. I had the gentleman's 90 minute massage, I'm going back for sure. read more

Hey there ! Okay, so yes I did buy a Groupon and I'm SUPER happy I did. I'm in-love with this place!! I would highly recommended it to anyone that is looking for a stress relief :) Gina was so easy and fun to talk to and did such a good job. She really wanted to assist your needs! I will be returning although the price is a bit steep :( read more

The lady that did my massage was super good and I could tell she was trying to do a good job at all times. I was very pleased. I always go back for her. read more

This was my first visit to Sabai Thai. I purchased the "Gentlemen's Getaway Package" on Groupon - a good deal on a 90 minute massage - so that I could check them out. I visited the Port Coquitlam location, which is easy to access. The staff were friendly, and the environment was quiet and relaxing. The only negative I would say about the location is the seating in the waiting area is not very comfortable - the cushioned benches are fine, but the back rest is a wall with lattice work that is hard to lean against comfortably. The massage itself was really good - Nikki worked deep into the muscles of my back and legs. It was painful in a good way, as I expect a deep tissue massage to be. Some massage therapists I have been to in the past did not work deep enough, but Nikki did a good job. I left the massage table feeling like a lot of tension had been removed and would recommend her work. A couple of bits of info/advice for other visitors: 1 - Sabai Thai is not set up the same as some other "fancy" spas. You won't be lounging around in robes while you sip tea. At Sabai Thai the waiting area is by the front desk - you wait here before your service, and return after. They did offer me a mug of ginger tea after, which was delicious. 2 - You wear your street clothes before and after the treatment - so come prepared with clothing that is okay to get massage oil on it. I did notice there was a shower in the men's washroom, but it was not mentioned beforehand. Even so, I would have had to put my street clothes on to get from the treatment room to the shower, so my clothes would be oiled either way. Bottom line - my recommendation depends on what you are looking for. If you want a good massage, and that's all - I would visit Sabai Thai again. If you hope to lounge around in a robe reading for an hour afterward your treatment, then I would go elsewhere. read more

Wendy is the best ever. I've travelled all over the work and I'm very particular and there's no one that compares. Grateful for Saba Thai Spa! read more

The last time I visited, I had a Deep Tissue Massage with Soo in the Coal Harbour location. Very relaxing, helpful in treating my back pain, and she was very knowledgeable and professional in handling all my questions and needs. The first time I went in was for the True Wellness package via Groupon. AMAZING and thorough treatment for its value (which is a total deal from $308 to $99 for a 60-minute massage and 30-minute organic facial) and was offered the same promotion for a packaged purchase. I kept coming back ever since I'd think it's a pretty smart purchase. I am always more than satisfied from every treatment! read more

Were there in summer time for my RMT. I booked the same week for a Saturday service. The spa is easily accessed via public transportation, if you want to take a ride of public transit service. The place smelled strongly of citrus and it was relaxing right away. The room was cozy, with a nice bed, dimmed light and bed drapery. The massage therapist was very knowledgeable of her trade and did her job well. She found spots where it was sore and she massaged them. She was caring and friendly. The price was slightly higher than average, but considering the fact of the results, this is worth it. I will return for more relaxing massage whenever I was stretched out. read more

Today was my second visit to see Crystal at Sabai, she is amazing! I've had back, neck & shoulder issues since a car accident a few years ago. When I've slept funny or worked a lot I get very stiff and have trouble turning my head. She manages to fix me up every time I visit. I like a firm massage which can hurt a little but it's not painful. She always asks if I'm ok with the pressure and will adjust if needed. I get the full body massage but don't bother with the facials, I've had them.. they're nice but not what I need. I've been to a few different Sabai locations and while they've all been good massages, Crystal is by far the best masseuse I've had. I purchased another package when I left today (90min). I also highly recommend the coal harbour location every time I've been here I've been happy with their service. read more

I purchased the $99 deal for 90 minute True Wellness package which included a massage and a facial for myself and a friend. I was so excited after seeing all the good reviews on various sites. We had a minor mix up with the booking process, but that didn't hinder me any. Due to our work schedules, we ended up being the last appointments of the day and I didn't think that would be an issue, but boy were we treated differently than I had expected. The receptionist looked thoroughly unimpressed when we arrived 15 minutes early for our 5:30pm appointments. I thought that was a courtesy, especially since we both needed to fill out a new client waiver and wash up after work. No smiles, tea or water offered as others have mentioned. The thing that reaaalllly bothered me (and thus resulted in the loss of two stars) was the fact that we were asked to settle up our tax and tip before the services were even started!!! Obviously so the receptionist could close the tills and cash out for the night. Allow me to clarify: I ALWAYS tip appropriately for services received - but I do find it a little absurd to ask me to shell out cash before I've even been touched. After I kind of gave her a confused look and opened my mouth to say just that, she said in a snippy tone "well do you intend on buying any product? I'd like to close the computer for the night". Umm... Your hours say you are open until 7pm. And actually, I happen to be one of those people who buy a thing or two after a great treatment, so I asked her to please leave my file open and I would be happy to tip after my service. She kind of sniffed at me and told me to be seated. My friend was taken in for her treatments quite promptly. I ended up sitting, waiting, waiting and waiting some more - until 10 minutes to 6!! My masseuse was the saving grace to this visit. Her hands were pure magic and I even felt myself nodding off a few times. (And when I say I caught myself, I mean I was snoring and woke myself up!!) My massage was perfect, great pressure and didn't feel rushed. I was happy to see her wash her hands thoroughly before even touching my face. The massage was only outdone by the facial. My skin was absolutely GLOWING afterwards and smelled AMAZING! She used the most amazing Eminence moisturizer on me and I was SO glad I didn't close my file at the register as I had planned on picking this up on my way out. Also, the spa had a great deal on: if you booked another True Wellness package, they would honor the same $99 dollar pricing as the voucher I had purchased. I was thrilled and was going to book another treatment as well as the purchasing the moisturizer. Much to my disappointment, the snippy receptionist had already closed the tills and was half way through cashing out so not only couldn't I tip my masseuse (didn't have any physical cash on me), I couldn't re-book or purchase my cream! When I took out my debit card, she kind of looked at me funny and said "ok well, I'm closed up so I guess you are done! Thanks for coming!" And went back to counting coins!!!! Really sour start and end to a wonderful treatment. Real shame, the spa definitely lost a purchase and a rebook from me! read more

First time getting a Spa treatment here. I bought the Perfect Balance spa package on Groupon and it was definitely a good deal. It was very relaxing and I fell asleep during my treatment. I enjoyed sipping the ginger tea they offered afterwards. I already bought another package to come back again. I took one star off because my body still felt greasy post treatment (they do wipe some off after they're done but no showers at this spa). I walked to Robson Street and it felt weird walking around on my oily feet in my snow boots. read more

I'm the workaholic type that doesn't normally indulge in being kind to myself, but everyone needs to take a break and wind down once in a while. I had purchased a Groupon for the True Wellness package here about a year ago, and even though I usually feel like a cheap bastard when I use social shopping coupons, I found that I was still treated well by the staff here, serving to mitigate my feelings of shame. My upper back pain has been flaring up again, so I was delighted to see that Groupon was offering another deal for the True Wellness package. It's actually amazing how powerful such tiny Thai women can be. They inquire beforehand as to the level of pressure you prefer, and be forewarned that "deep pressure" is serious business. I normally spend the majority of the massage holding my breath so as not to either cry out or laugh hysterically - which probably doesn't sound very relaxing - but it's worth it afterwards. The facial that's included in the package I could take or leave; I'm mostly here for the vigorous massage. Everything here smells amazing, their tea is delicious, the staff are friendly, and it's super clean. Their regular prices are a touch high, especially if you're comparing to prices for comparable services in Thailand, but they regularly have promotions so that even people like me can indulge once in a while. read more

We bough a package for 132$ CAD from Groupon, what they claim it is 219$ value which includes (Hand and Foot Reflexology). What I got is a terriable random deep tissue massage, she started on my buttocks then my right side of the core then she changed to my left arms and she keeps changing areas not smooth continues massage plus her hand were or her nails was scratching my back. For the hand and reflexology part I think this should not be mentioned in groups because it took her exactly 1 minute to finish my both hand and extra 1 minutes for my both feet so what you get only deep tissue with value 156$ CAD. My therapist name was May "Megumi's" read more

Felt like I took a mini vacation to Thailand after having an authentic Thai massage from Sabai Thai. Try the 60min Thai Massage during your first visit - its enough time to try it and to know that this is an amazing massage treatment. It is recommended that you do a 90 min or 2 hr as there are over 42 Thai massage positions that the therapist can do. Sabai is one of, if not only, authentic Thai massage spas in Vancouver! read more

This has got to be one of the best Thai Spa's in Vancouver! I usually go to the Coal Harbour location! Every time you walk in you get a nice warm greet from the front desk staff. The aroma upon walking in is already so relaxing! I usually get the pure serenity package which includes a 60 minute massage and a 30 minute facial! There is not a single worker that I would recommend more than the other, all have been amazing and have managed to get the knots out of my traps! They also keep a heating pad on the massage table under the sheets which feels so comforting! The facility itself is insanely clean! I love using an actual towel to dry my hands in the washroom and the washroom is huge with perfect lighting if I need to apply makeup for any outings afterwards. The tea afterwards is absolutely delicious as well! I cant wait to go back for my next treatment! ..... oh AND I forgot to mention that they have free parking if your at the coal harbor location!! Who doesnt love free parking in downtown!??? read more
