    Love this place. My friend and I we went for a message to celebrate my birthday. Donna the owner it was so delightful, friendly and very helpful. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Our experience were amazing. All the staff were very friendly and professional. My massage therapist it was so good and very professional. I wish i could remember her name. But i think is Lynette. I had 80 mins calm serenity massage. From beginning to end it was very relaxing. After we were able to use the hotel pool. We ordered lunch and we went back to the Spa to shower and get ready to experience town. The Spa have a variety of choices to make easy to get ready there. Hair dryer, body lotion, flat iron etc. I do strongly recommend this place. Yes i would came back.

    Not worth the price for not having superb amenities..plus they automatically add the gratuity percentage without options...

    Honestly, I hate ruining a business' five star streak but all these positive Yelp reviews led me…read moreastray. I was certain I'd have nothing but a stellar experience - so much so that I booked a 90 min deep tissue massage for my first time (normally I book 60 min when first trying out someplace as a precautionary measure). Taralai is no doubt on the "pricier" side for a no frills Thai massage ($140 for 90 min), but I was happy to pay a fair price for an exceptional massage. I don't want to name shame my masseuse but I booked with a gal that is repeatedly mentioned in reviews. Super sweet but has no intuition and flow. My massage felt mechanical and awkward - cracking my fingers and toes for example to fill time. She also took an unusually long bathroom break mid massage and I was already not enjoying it so I almost cut it off early. I also asked for no stretching yet she proceeds to put me in uncomfortable positions I eventually had to stop her. Also, I was flabbergasted at the end when paying that the suggested tip is in the range of 40%-60% of the massage. Perhaps if "happy endings" are offered this would only then make sense. I always tip 20% on a standard priced massage so I had to create a custom tip to do so. I have had many massages and this has to be one of the worst experiences I've ever had.

I've been going to all types from resort spas, to Burke, and small local owned business throughout OC for over 20yrs, and let me tell you...THIS IS IT!!! I've experienced chronic back pain over the last few months and not only did Ta stretch and massage and help heal the pain, she went above and beyond and gave me some ideas of things to do at home in between massages (oh, you better believe I'll be going back!). All the therapists are licensed here which is why I went when I found even though I live in Irvine. They really care. I feel like a brand new person with a plan of action for this and a big thanks to them!!! Also, nice cozy location across from the mission. Overall, great experience and can't wait to go back! Yep, went back! Kora was amazing! These other reviews are justifiably singing her praises. I'm starting to think everyone here is amazing! Might have to go twice a month at this point

    Very disappointing experience…read more I was really looking forward to this appointment, especially as a busy mom who does not get much time to carve out for myself, but unfortunately this was one of the worst massage experiences I have ever had. My massage therapist walked in through the front door five minutes after my appointment start time, already putting things off on the wrong foot. During the massage, she asked if I wanted more pressure and I said yes, but the massage remained extremely weak and half-hearted, often using only one hand. I began to suspect she was distracted or not fully present. Eventually, I could not ignore the feeling anymore. I told her I needed to use the restroom, got up, and when I checked, she was on her phone actively watching something and she tried hiding her phone under the sheet. At that point, I walked out without finishing the service. I was so uncomfortable and unhappy that I could not take another minute. While the front desk receptionist was kind, she was having an open conversation with another massage therapist, loudly discussing her neighbor and calling him a redneck, which felt highly unprofessional and inappropriate for a spa environment. To make matters worse, the bathroom felt neglected. The faucet handle did not work properly, and there was a half used open water bottle with no cap sitting on the shelf, which was unsettling and unsanitary. As I was leaving, she told me that management would call me to follow up, but I never received a call. Overall, the space did not feel relaxing, calming, or professional. I left feeling frustrated and upset that my time and money were wasted. It is incredibly disappointing when you finally make time for self care and are met with such poor service and lack of respect for the client experience. I truly hope management addresses these issues, because this was not acceptable.

She told me it's gonna cost you $20 more for more pressure, for Past 10 years NO-ONE ever told me it's cost more money to do more pressure. I asked her since when ? She didn't say anything, later I asked her for name and she told me why do you need my name, I said acetone I come in I ask for the name of the person attending me, she didn't say her name. At the end of the massage I came to pay and gave her my 10 times card stamp they do, and finally she had to put her name on the card , I think it's Kim. Older lady built, very mad face, anyway, I wouldn't want to go there because I can give my money to some other small business who actually appreciate my business, just wanted for entire to know, I'm not a bad reviewer , I normally our a lot of reviews, a bad review unless it really was bad,

While the massage itself was okay, the experience at checkout left me feeling extremely uncomfortable. As I was leaving, saying thank you and goodbye, the front desk staff stopped me in a way that felt confrontational and implied that I was doing something wrong by not leaving a tip. I was made to feel pressured and embarrassed, as if I were committing a crime. It was very uncomfortable. Because the appointment was booked and paid for in advance through ClassPass, I was not aware that gratuity was not included. Regardless, being pressured in that manner is not an appropriate or professional way to handle tipping. Tipping should be voluntary, not something a client feels forced into through intimidation. Unfortunately, this interaction overshadowed what was meant to be a thoughtful birthday gift and left a negative impression.
