    Mimosa and green tea.
    Kaukeb Y.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I came here for a relaxing time with my boyfriend and we both ended up very relaxed![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We each opten in for full body wraps. The ambiance is very calm and relaxing. Makes you never want to leave. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They allowed us a complimentary drink and also to hang by their hot spa as long as we needed to before and after our appointments.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Sadly we no longer live in California, otherwise this may have had to be a place for our anniversary.

    The location is great and the services are affordable. I've given this place a try twice once for a massage and once for a facial. Both service providers were so kind and did a great job. The facilities and grounds are nice however the service of the spa is not outstanding. Both times I have been here the showers have used razors, towels, no body lotion, and the floors have been dirty. There's dirty cups, used towels laying around. This time I had to go to the other fireside room to get water since they were out. The first time I had to go ask someone to clean them since they were so bad I wouldn't use it without them being cleaned. [[HIGHLIGHT]]You have to call to the front or go and ask for tea or another drink.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I gave it a second chance since the first time the lady said they were short staff and apologized for the lack of service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This time it that wasn't the case. I may or may not be back. When I go to the spa I want it to be clean and good service.

    Bad business practice.

    Really wanted to book a spa day for myself and my mom but [[HIGHLIGHT]]no one should have to call over 8 times in a day and never have anyone pick up the phone.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's ridiculous and such bad business.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Called during business hours and no one ever answered.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Disappointing.

    Fountain in spa
    Devyn S.

    This was my first time at a fancy spa, and I was nervous. I booked a facial and a massage. When you step out of the bathroom/locker room, you are greeting by this giant fountain and are immediately immersed in the spa experience. You wait to get call for your service in a lounge and you are offered champagne, a mimosa, or tea. There's also water and chocolate covered blueberries to snack on. I started with a mimosa. I started with a facial by Vanessa and she was FABULOUS. She made me feel comfortable and at ease. I definitely will be coming back for her! After my facial, I got another mimosa. Then I had my massage. The masseuse did not tell me her name, but the massage itself was fine. After the massage....another mimosa (I know but they allow 3 complimentary so what the heck). I rested in the lounge while I sipped on my drink. As I said, I will definitely come back for Vanessa and maybe try another service. I did not have issues with contacting the spa. I left them a voicemail to scheduled and they called me back within a couple of hours. They scheduled me quickly and were friendly. I saw a lot of negative reviews regarding their customer service but I have nothing but praises for the staff.

    Beautiful gardens

    I arranged a birthday massage for my husband and I along with lunch on their terrace. A week before my appointment I was notified that the massage I booked had to be changed because they didn't have the items needed. I was really annoyed since I was really looking forward to the mud wrap massage. The day of, we had lunch, it was delicious! We were served champagne and toasted for a great birthday! Our massages started with a sugar scrub and then an extremely relaxing massage! After our massages we relaxed in the jacuzzi, showered and went off to enjoy the evening in SF! Due to Sawa not having the products for my first choice is why I've rated only 4 stars. Hoping in the future I can rate higher.

    A weekend getaway tucked away in a beautiful neighborhood, not too far from the tri city area of Brentwood Oakley Antioch. I loved my Massage experience here for the quaint and peaceful environment, and good service. Very well serene outback area That was recently Upgraded. Very peaceful.

    Such a cozy lounge
    Andrea N.

    Such a luxury place! Fell in love with Sawa Spa!!! I got a 80 minute massage and I enjoyed every minute of it. Marissa was amazing she took her time and made me feel so relaxed. She was so friendly and had a lot of experience. I told her I'd come every week if I could because that's how much I really enjoyed my massage. I will continue to come back, been here twice and I am a fan for sure.

When I initially booked an appointment for this massage parlor two weeks in advance, I specifically mentioned it to be scheduled on Sunday, March 1, 2026. This establishment called me multiple times a week before, on Sunday, Feb 22, 2026, assuming that I was supposed to come in on that Sunday. I reiterated that the appointment was set for March 1st. On the day of the appointment, March 1st, I was traveling from out of town to come here. I called to let them know that I would be up to 15 minutes late due to traffic en route. I arrived at 6:15 PM on the dot, and they started to call me again. I told them I was literally outside. At check-in, I showed a Groupon deal from my phone. It seemed like they had a difficult time authorizing the voucher; however, they were eventually able to honor it. Pertaining to the massage experience, it was executed nicely. I truly enjoyed the methods and techniques that were applied during the session. The other letdown was that the staff member rushed me a bit, constantly knocking on the door and asking if I was ready to go. Even though I enjoyed the massage itself, the overall nuisance and rushed atmosphere from the staff left the experience somewhat lacking.

    I've been to Holiday Spa before and have always understood what it is -- not a luxury spa, but a…read moreplace that can work when you're just looking for an affordable massage. Because of that, I felt comfortable referring a family member to give it a try a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately, her experience was disappointing and honestly concerning. While her massage itself was already less than stellar, the situation at the end was what really crossed the line. She tipped her masseuse, Nancy, $10 -- which she felt was appropriate based on the service she received. Instead of accepting it, Nancy became visibly upset and began demanding more money, creating a very uncomfortable and unprofessional scene. My family member tried to calmly explain her reasoning, but Nancy continued to insist, and the situation escalated to the point where additional money was given just to diffuse the confrontation. Tipping should always be based on the quality of service and given voluntarily. It should never be demanded or coerced. That kind of behavior is unacceptable and reflects poorly on the business as a whole. I'm sharing this not to attack, but to highlight an experience that needs attention. No customer should feel pressured or uncomfortable when leaving a business.

I did not feel good at all after that 1st experience & wanted to forget it happened. I'm so glad my friend talked me into giving this spot a go. The woman I had was incredible.

She knew what she was doing and worked out every known knot. She checked in with me periodically, which was nice. I wish I knew about this spot sooner! I'm sore in spots but in a good way. My muscles needed it.

Pressure was either too soft (non existent) or too hard in the wrong areas (like the bones). I was getting cramps throughout the session because wrong pressure was applied to the wrong areas. She doesn't know where the pressure points were nor try to identify them let alone how the movements should be. And she was clumsy. I didn't like how fast she was going as if she was rushing to get through it. Moving from random areas to random areas. Stretches didn't feel good. Hot stones didn't feel relaxing. When she was massing my neck, she pressed down so hard on my necklaces that my necklaces were scraping my skin. Just rough and clumsy. Massage session should feel smooth and flowing not kinks and awkward. I came out with more pain than when I first came in. 10 mins into the message, I felt like I wanted to tell the front desk to change person. Regret I didn't ask. $60 for the one hour massage and extra $20 for tips. When I left, the front desk lady didn't ask about my experience. Not a smart way to improve customer experience/retention. I would give her my honest answer. Will I return? Probably not. Pretty disappointed.
