    Bathroom with a boudoir toilet!  I was pleasantly surprised by the warm seat!
    Kira C.

    I was lucky enough to be treated to be treated here from the WWP for an early Mother's Day retreat. I dropped my car off at the valet and went in to check in. Once checked in they sat me outside and offered me a cold beverage. I hung out there until my massage therapist, Sofiya, was ready for me. My massage started on a private lanai area where she wrapped my feet in warm towels and lightly massaged them and "energized" my feet with coconut leaf stems made from the leaves of the coconut trees on the property. She then walked me over to the massage rooms and allowed me to relieve myself before getting my massage. They have those fancy boudoir toilets with the warmed seats which was a pleasant surprise on my tush. She asked if there was any spots that she wanted me to concentrate on and how much pressure to use. She showed me the amenities, like shaving creams and fresh razor, scope mouthwash, and deodorant to name a few. She told me to undress down to either my underware or bare, whichever I prefer, and get on the table. The table was warmed, but just a little too much for my comfort. Some places will massage your scalp, so I left my hair down. Apparently it was not offered in the full body massage so if you have long hair like me, make sure to put it up prior to your massage. Sofiya was great. She used the right amount of pressure and everything but by the end of my massage I was left wanting. I've had massages at several other places on the island, but for some reason I am always left missing something unless I go to my spot in Waipahu. Something about all the spots on my body that they work on or something that makes my massage feel complete when I get a massage at my spot in Waipahu. The WWP ordered an add-on service of moisturizing my hands or feet. I thought it meant a little more time of massaging so I chose feet. Nope. It felt like she put some lotion on there and then let it sit for a min while she got a warm towel to wipe it off so I wouldn't have slippery feet after the massage. After my massage, she sprayed the Halekulani's signature scent of maile throughout the room. It was nice... wish I had that spray for my house. I was actually glad that they gave a brush as part of the amenity items as my hair was crazy after my massage. I took the mini Scope home because... why not? I got dressed and they took me back out to the waiting area. I was told to help myself to the water bottles, teas, fruits, and nuts that they had in their inside waiting area. They came by and offered me some of their signature Halekulani tea (think its like maile infused or something). The tea was light, a little sweet, and definitely refreshing. They also brought by a little mochi ice cream. I thought it was just those chocolate mocha balls that you can buy in the store, but it tasted like a rich kona coffee ice cream on the inside and the outside mocha was thin and very fresh tasting. I wish I could buy more. All in all, a good experience. I'm not sure I would come back here though if I was paying out of my own pocket. I prefer the Moana Lani Spa at the Moana Surfrider though if I'm going to pay a lot of money for a massage. At least there I can have access to their other spa services before and after my massage.

    Pumpkin Mochi ice cream with green ice tea after our massage was surprisingly delicious

    We made a last minute lomi lomi massage over Thanksgiving weekend . We visited the spa and made arrangements in person. The front desk personnel were all friendly despite being busy. They called to remind and confirm our massages the following day. We arrived in a hurry but soon we felt relaxed , serving us tea and having us sit on the patio while they prepare our rooms. Both masseuse were excellent, knowledgeable and very accommodating working on your specific massage needs. We felt so calm and relaxed. Perfect massage during our vacation in Hawaii.

    Feeling relaxed already ...

What I enjoyed: The therapists were very professional and respectful of our preferences. They sent a questionnaire ahead of time to understand what we wanted, and when I emailed with some additional requests, they were able to accommodate everything, which I really appreciated. The massage room itself was beautiful, with a big bathtub for a coconut bath after the treatment and its own bathroom. The amenities were great too: snacks, drinks, fruits, a dry sauna, steam sauna, and a waiting lounge overlooking the ocean with lay-down chairs. The lounge wasn't busy at all, and you could easily spend an hour there relaxing. Booking was easy via email and the staff was very responsive. Valet parking is included. What could've been better: The jacuzzi was out of order during our visit, and I wasn't informed ahead of time. I had to ask for a prorated rate, and the person checking us out initially didn't want to give the discount until their manager stepped in. For a big hotel-affiliated spa, I expected better communication and consistency on something like this. The showers also ran out of bath products (either shampoo or body wash), and the locker area was missing some amenities I'd expect at this price point, like makeup remover and skincare beyond generic body lotion. I also had trouble getting a receipt with my name on it initially, though they eventually sent one. One other thing to note: the spa is right above the hotel beach and pool area, so you can hear people rather than just ocean waves or spa music. It didn't bother me too much, but it's something to be aware of if you're expecting total tranquility. Despite these issues, it was still a wonderful experience and I'd recommend it for a special occasion!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I had a wonderful massage experience at Uilani Spa from the moment I walked in. Everyone who works there is friendly and attentive. I was greeted with a refreshing hot towel for my hands and given a consent form to complete. Then I was escorted to the women's locker room with a bathrobe and slippers, where i changed and stored my belongings in a complimentary locker. Afterwards, I relaxed in a quiet, dimly lit lounge until my massage therapist, Yumiko, retrieved me. She expertly honed in on my problem areas before she began working on me. My shoulders were very tight and in pain while she worked on them. I heard my spine pop a few times. It's that moment of "Ahh..." when the pockets of tension you didn't know about are released and you wonder how much you were low grade suffering in daily life without realizing. I signed up for the lomi lomi massage, which I've never had before. I'm not sure if the hot towel treatment is part of every massage they do here but it's a nice touch that helps undo the knots. It's like Uilani thought of every little thing to help you relax beyond the massage itself. The massage cot can be adjusted to a seated position, which is how my massage ended. It's like they're easing you back into being vertical again. The experience continues: You go back to the lounge where you sip iced tea and eat a small crunchy snack before you leisurely make your way back to the locker room for a hot shower. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, towels, a blow dryer, Q-tips... all provided for you. You're not rushed to pay and get out. This place is about 50% more than another place where i had a one year membership, but all the little touches they use to enhance your relaxation and enjoyment make the experience so relaxing. You didn't just get a massage, you got a full relaxing experience.

It was awkward and unprofessional, and it set a bad tone right away. After I changed and put on the robe they provided, she later told me I needed to put my hair up. I didn't have a hair tie, so I asked if they had one. What made this strange is that everyone else in the spa had their hair down, and I was planning to shower anyway with shampoo and conditioner. It felt like I was being singled out. As someone with curly hair, it made me feel targeted and uncomfortable, especially since no one else was asked the same thing. She also made a comment about keeping the sauna clean, which honestly made no sense. I had just arrived and had done nothing that would make it dirty. The comment felt unnecessary and insulting. For context, I had just gotten off a 5 1/2 hour flight and couldn't check into my Airbnb yet, so I came here just to shower and kill time. Instead of feeling relaxed and welcomed, I felt judged and uncomfortable the entire time. Overall, this was not a good experience.

I was honestly blown away by both the service and the amenities. I did the basic scrub package, which came out to around $100 total including the $50 entrance fee, and it was absolutely worth it. The entrance gives access to all the spa amenities including the charcoal sauna, red clay sauna, steam sauna, dry sauna, hot tub, and cold plunge tub. I came in around 10 AM without an appointment and they were still able to accommodate me for an 11:30 scrub, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend making an appointment though, especially if you're planning on getting a scrub or package service. I was able to experience all of the amenities, and for most of the saunas I actually had the rooms to myself, which made the experience feel even more relaxing and peaceful. Honestly, this would make a perfect solo date or even such a great girls' day activity. My scrub was done by Young, and she was amazing. She made me feel comfortable the entire time, maintained eye contact while speaking with me, was very personable, and provided such attentive service. You can tell she genuinely cares about making clients feel at ease. This was actually my second Korean spa experience in Honolulu, and honestly, the other one doesn't even compare to this level of cleanliness, service, and overall atmosphere. The only minor thing that made me slightly uncomfortable was during checkout while I was tipping -- another worker or possibly co-owner was standing directly behind me, and I wasn't sure if she was looking at the screen. It wasn't enough to ruin the experience, but it was the only moment that felt a little awkward. Other than that, my experience was amazing from start to finish. Definitely worth the visit, and I could easily see myself coming back monthly.

I ordered a coffee, which I was able to sip on after being in the steam rooms and hot spa. I would have given a 5 star based on the service and young alone, but the used envelope kept me from doing that.

For me, I expect more if I'm paying a total of $187 for a 60-minute massage. FACILITY: There's a utilitarian wet sauna (e.g., no aromatherapy), dry sauna, and hot & cold pools inside; a small lounge area is outside with what appears to be a jacuzzi. I say "appears" because I just happened to notice the jets. There was no sign identifying it or explaining how to turn it on. The wet sauna was off and there was no sign explaining how to turn that on, either. PERSONAL AMENITIES: You're given a nice robe and one towel. I was only told to bring a bathing suit, so I was expecting disposal spa slippers. Nope. I had to walk everywhere barefooted, including the locker area where people (naturally) had walked in their outside shoes. Ugh. You could pick up a small tube of hand/body lotion, a small shaving kit (disposable razor & tube of generic shaving cream) and/or a small vanity kit (tiny nail file, cotton swabs & cotton pad) at the sinks. There were no snacks or even drinking water available unless you had a massage -- then you were given a bottle of water when it was over. MASSAGE: This is the first time I thought to myself, while getting a massage, "This woman could easily kill me with her bare hands!" Her hands were that strong. She'd asked me if I wanted my massage "hard" or "soft," and I replied, "medium, and we'll see how that goes." Well, it went very painfully at times -- I had to tell her repeatedly to go softer. It's a week later and my shoulders still hurt with certain movements. SERVICE: The receptionist (the only person always onsite; the masseusses and such are called in when needed) was not very gracious when I asked her how to turn on the wet sauna and only reluctantly went back and did it ... so I didn't bother to request her help to use the jacuzzi. Clear communication, in general, was lacking. For one, I was told on the phone that a bathing suit was necessary for the saunas, but once I got there, was told I could choose to just wear a towel. I've read the other reviews, and I see that they offer a kamaaina discount. No one told me that, even though I said at multiple points (on the phone and onsite) that I lived in the neighborhood. BOTTOM LINE: I'll try some other day spa next time I want to pamper myself.
