my daughter and I went for a massage here and came out laughing. My daughter thought her masseuse was a bit odd (mine was pretty good) but the biggest complaint we both have is that the door was left open while we were being massaged! Even worse, was as we were leaving our room after the message, we walked by an open door displaying a full view of a gentlemans rear end, having his treatment!!! Not appropriate!!!! read more

My husband booked our couples 80 min massage and additional foot treatment for my birthday. We are avid spa goers as we are both competitive athletes and need massages to do what we do. The front reception and greeting was so below average and not welcoming at all!! The spa is dated which would be fine if it was cleaned better and had better lighting, hot showers and more personal touches . However I did have the MOST INCREDIBLE experience because I had Beatriz as my therapist!!! She is unlike any massage therapist I've ever had!!! She could tell I had serous tension in my shoulders and my hip flexor was locked! Her body work with massage and pressure points on me released so much!!! You can tell she really cares about what she does!! It was so amazing that I booked her again the very next day for my husband to try her and for me to get in one more session before headed home!! She is remarkable and truly very talented! Quite honestly, I'm surprised some famous athlete or celebrity hasn't snatched her up because shes that good! know I would in a heart beat if I could!! I'm coming back now before every competition and will do the 2 hour drive to Palm Springs just to have her work on us!! 5 STARS TO BEATRIZ and 3 to the facility. La Quinta needs to recognize how lucky they are to have her! Will be back for her! read more

The place is clean and the service personnel are friendly. I just had the express pedicure so I didn't get to see the inside of the spa. The salon area was nice. I just have one comment which is neither positive or negative - I asked for a second coat of top nail polish and she said "no". That surprised me. For a $40 express pedicure - no massage, no callous filing - a second coat doesn't really cost that much. In SF, second coat is basic, you don't need to ask for it. read more

We had a great experience here; staff was accommodating and friendly, facilities were nice and massage was outstanding.

I was lucky to meet Bill Jackson. I don't know how he figured out my preference: Relaxation, meditation, and preferably no one around. He asked me to come back Wednesday, and he arranged for an 80-minute massage with Claudia, who delivered an excellent quality massage. It is such a wonderful place that I spent the whole day, ordered lunch and napped. I listened to my audiobook and enjoyed every moment. It was 108 F, but I didn't feel it with the shade, the mist, the bougainvillea, lemon trees close to the jacuzzi, and a fountain. I've been to many SPAs, including Scandinavian SPAs and SPAs t the various Fairmont hotels. But this is a unique experience; the architecture, the service and the setting at the bottom of the mountains are outstanding! If you're lucky like I have been to meet Bill, you'll most certainly have a wonderful experience! read more

This was my first time here getting a massage and let me start with the details. First you walk in and get greeted by staff and walk you over to get changed into a robe. Since I got the wine down I went outside and met with my handsome hubby to get a flask of wine. We picked out our wine chose and was massaged with a pairing oil. We got our couples massage and it was fantastic!!! Omg the best I've had thus far! Alia was my therapist and she listened to my concerns and requests! Thanks Aliah! After our wonderful massage we met outside to relax. The therapist came and greeted us once again with our full pour of wine. Afterward the receptionist called to have us picked up taken back to our room. It was a wonderful and relaxing experience!!! I highly recommend it read more

Salon Jarick has friendly hair stylist and it is a beautiful well maintained salon. Sean is the Greatest when it comes to knowing what you want an need. They always make sure to ask you if you need anything while waiting. read more

I just had a spa massage with Furman! He was great! He has been working there awhile and knows his stuff! My back is much better now and it's thanks to him! The steam room was delightful along with the coconut waters! I had it all to myself which was great! Everything was clean and very well maintained! This place is a little pricey -minus the one star! So give it a try as you won't be disappointed! read more

Terrible from start to finish. Wasn't greeted when I walked in to an empty lobby. My massage was scheduled for 50 minutes. Got more like a 42 minute massage. I could tell my masseuse was running behind and my massage felt rushed. It was supposed to be TAILOR MADE-- so whatever I requested as the focus. Literally NONE of my requests were managed. It was just a full body repetitive motion massage that felt like a newly graduated/licensed masseuse would know how to do. I wandered around the spa after my service to try and find some redeeming potential. The environment is OK. Lots of women come here in groups--so the common areas are full of gossiping women at every turn. Which is fine. I understand the social aspects of a spa day, but usually there are areas dedicated to socializing and others dedicated to PEACE and QUIET. I heard about one too many cheating husbands and terrible relationships out in the common areas before I gave up finding my relaxing day I had intended on having. The "sage room" is supposedly their quiet room--but literally every 10-15 minutes you have someone yelling a name into the room there. Peace and quiet is hard to come by in the spa, unless you are in a treatment room. Nothing redeeming to be found. Went to go check out. The room was full of patrons checking out. I waited for 5 minutes to be helped and realized it was going to take more time that I did not want to be there. I left. If you don't sign out ... they add 22% to your card. read more

Had my wedding at LQR, knew I'd need my hair done for the day of the event. Mark did a wonderful job. Treated me so well, used fancy products, and had all the bases covered; offered beverages, scale massage, I came early and had a steam and a shower... but best of all- hair was epic! read more

Spa La Quinta - Day Spas Near Me - La Quinta, California

My first time here and was not disappointed. The spa staff were very accommodating and helpful. Spa was clean and quite relaxing with the fountain/pool outside. The massage I had from spa technician Michael was the best! Will definitely be back read more

I had a wonderful day getting some much needed relaxation. A very beautiful place. I have to add that Bill Jackson was extremely helpful since this was my first visit. Bill went out of his way to make sure my day was relaxing. He directed me to the market and was so attentive and pleasant. Thank you Bill. The world needs more engaging people like you. read more

Please note: My rating has nothing to do with the service provider. My massage therapist was wonderful. The level of service and attention to detail in the spa common area leaves a lot to be desired for a five star resort. My friend and I spent about five hours at the spa. Spa observation: *Some robes and towels had holes *Used towels were piled on the steam room floor and bench two of the three same day visits *Ran out of towels by the steam room two of the three same day visits *Ran out of hot beverage cups for tea *Trash basket was overflowing; no place to deposit trash *Couple of bathroom stalls were out of toilet paper *We sat outside for three hours and never saw a staff member (ie: couldn't order a drink or lunch) *Patio table was unavailable for three hours due to previous client's lunch waiting to be cleared The facility did not have some of the amenities one would expect in a five star spa/hotel. For example, the only hair care product was hair spray. No gel, mousse, or hair ties, there wasn't a pool (only one small hot tub) and tdidn't have spinners for wet bathing suits. To add to the experience, we completed the feedback card and mentioned our disappointment to the front desk employee. She wasn't interested in taking the feedback nor did she engage a manager before we left. Lastly, upon checkout, the experience was also mentioned to the staff member in the reception area. The employee said someone from the spa would certainly be contacting us - still waiting. Note: this experience is being compared to the Four Seasons. Update to post: a manager called a day later. Her day was done, she was gettIng into her car and finally decided to connect (while driving). Checking it off her list - can't take notes. Very insulting. read more

Thank you for our relaxing massages and garden baths. Silva was the very best masseuse. She worked out all of my husband's sore muscles, he feels so rejuvenated and can walk normally again without having to compensate for his soreness. Thank you Silva!!! You have magical hands!! Thank you also to Gabriela for a great Lomi Lomi massage. Thanks also to Eddie for a great hair updo and make up for our wedding. Thank you La Quinta Spa! We enjoyed it so much to be spoiled by you! read more

I really liked this spa. The service was great and the amenities were great. I got a hot stone massage and it was traffic. The massage therapist had been working there 9 years, so she really knew what she was doing. Very professional and really listened to what you wanted and needed. It was relaxing, comfortable, and overall a great experience. In the spa there is also a Jacuzzi, a indoor reading area/ sitting area, an outdoor sitting and relaxing area, a huge locker room, and really clean showers with lots of bath and hair products. The only reason this place didn't get 5 stars is because it was fairly pricey. With the internet being filled with groupons and livingsocial, it just felt a bit expensive to be paying full price. But since I was saying at La Quinta resort, it only made sense to get the massage here. Also it was great that it was only a short walk from our room. If you are staying at the resort definitely trying it out. read more

My massage therapist was skilled and provided and outstanding session. She deserves infinite stars!! One expects to pay a price for the privilege of the experience at a place like this but the cost was beyond obscene. I could not help feeling much of the price of services rendered goes to the upkeep of this spa. The spa is tranquil, soothing, and comfortable but other amenities required effort for participation. When I made my reservation, one massage therapist was highly recommended and set. It was only when I called back about another matter did I learn this person was given the day off. It is more than courtesy to call the clients when a change has been made. It turned out well but left me with an uncomfortable feeling. Lastly, staff ought not be required to suggest a certain tip percentage. I was asked if I wanted to leave a 22% gratuity. Bush league. Will I return? Cannot say. The massage treatment was stellar but the staff missteps and amenities inconveniences are tough to overlook. read more

We loved the couples massage we had this last weekend. It was a gift for our anniversary from our daughter. The spa was clean, spacious, and offered amenities similar to other hotel/spas we've visited. The outdoor seating had misters, comfortable chairs, and refreshments. The massages were extraordinary with just the right pressure. read more

Went to spa for my first visit there, we live across the street at Rancho La Quinta. I have had many. Massages and I will say the 80 mins massage was wonderful but the staff and spa was not very well managed. So dark in dressing room could not see the lock to put codes in. Trash was spilling out on to floor. Showers mats slipping all over. Accident waiting to happen. Hair on walls of shower. Bottles of soap and shampoo and conditioner, couldn't tell what was what. Tea machine for hot water not working. Robes were tired and stained. The courtyard was peaceful but no one out the for service or to change the towels others have used yuck, I don't want to sit on a wet used lounge chair while waiting for my treatment. We spent over $500.00 for this 5 star resort. Will probably not be back or recommend any of our guest go there. Desert Springs Marriott spa is nicer, cleaner, with friendly staff and better price. read more

I've visited the spa a few times. It's a nice spa and massages have been good. It is a bit older and sometimes that shows (e.g lack of hot water in the showers) but it's usually a nice spa experience. The last time I booked a facial in addition to a massage. When I met the aesthetician she suggested a different facial than I booked. I didn't love it but the results were fine. I was surprised however to learn that this alternative facial was $65 more than the one I booked. When I raised the issue to the staff, they said "sorry" but didn't seem particularly concerned (as if this was quite common). I was surprised as upgrades and additional costs to massages are always communicated in advance. There are quite a few good spa choices in the area . . .but this is a lovely place . . I hope they get it together. read more

Came here for a spa getaway with the husband. Booked the La Quinta Citrus Escape and it was AMAZING. Felix (pronounced Felice) was my therapist, and she was lovely -- made sure I was comfortable throughout. The spa itself is lovely -- you can spend the whole day there with any spa service, and it's absolutely beautiful and relaxing. Tip: it is a wet body treatment, so if you get it, leave EVERYTHING (like seriously everything) in your locker and wear the spa sandals! The entire room essentially turns into a rain shower room, so everything gets wet! (I know it sounds weird, but it was heavenly.) Felix gave me a shower cap so my hair didn't get wet, and made sure that I was appropriately draped throughout the whole thing so I didn't ever feel exposed. Trust me, get it. It's amazing! read more

Had a great experience here escaping the barrage of young children at the pools. The checkin staff was friendly and attentive. For the best foot massage on earth (or any massage really) I highly recommend Fermin. I came two days in a row because he rocks!! read more

Let's start off by saying if I could give them a zero, I would. My friend and I got a 50 min. Custom massage. For the price I was expecting a great massage. I was very disappointed. Gloria was my masseuse and it was horrible to say the least. Now I have had at least 30 massages in my life, but this won the razzie. She went so fast and just kept what I describe as wiping me down. Very little massage going on, more like strong rubbing. For $165 I was shocked that this resort condones this and callers this a massage. Horribly disappointed and never never will go back. Customers beware, it was not worth it. My friend did not have as horrible of an experience. However she described it as less than mediocre and would not go to the spa again. Go somewhere else! read more

I booked a prenatal massage here, and it was comical at best and terrible at worst. My masseuse was a lovely lady, but her pace of stroke were super fast to the point it literally felt like she was just rubbing lotion on me. There was no attention to stress knots, no attempt to work them out, no long deep strokes on concentrated areas. She didn't ask if there was an area I wanted to focus on or avoid. I almost felt like getting up and leaving in the middle of the service because it was so absurd. The weird part was in the last 10 minutes she asked me to lay on my back and then she proceeded to angle the bed about 45 degrees so that my head was facing down! Because of all of the weight in my stomach, I felt like it condensed my neck and shoulders, and the blood was rushing to my head. It was SO bizarre - I've never had any masseuse do that, including with prenatal massage. To make matters worse, she didn't adjust the bed level or lower it so I had to roll off at a weird angle while visibly pregnant. For $200 and 22% gratuity, expected so much more. read more

As far as I am concerned a 1 star is being generous for the poor pedicure I received. I was told I was getting a 1 hour spa pedicure. What I received was approximately 45 min of the technician telling me her life story. I pay approximately 1/3 the cost at home for a superior pedicure! I even called the next day to complain about how poor the pedicure was and the person at the front desk of the spa said she would discuss it with her supervisor and get back to me. No surprise the entire day went by and no phone call. When I am asked to spend hard earned money on a treatment that should feel like an indulgence at a spa, I at least expect to receive the best pedicure I have ever had. This treatment was a joke!! Polish came off within hours, not to mention the amount of polish that was on my toes! The cuticles were not tended to. Who does this type of work at what should be a first class place. Really La Quinta, this is how you treat your clients to an hour long, very expensive treatment??? And then to not even bother to call back after a complaint was made. Shame on you!!!! This one star is very very generous!!! read more

I absolutely love this spa. I am totally obsessed! This spa is run by literally some of the best in the world. No joke. The love, energy, well-being, peace and harmony that runs through this entire spa is beyond abundant... The staff is flawless and educated beyond words. They are all world class. But they make you feel right at home and it is not intimidating at all. Inviting and welcoming when I walked thru the door....I had no clue the oasis I was stepping into. This is a comfortable, classy, relaxing, invigorating coed spa. I love that you can be inside or outside in the courtyard in the hot tub or on a lounge chair...just that you are able to gather and enjoy the people you are with while looking at the beautiful scenery. I could have spent hours here. Be sure to go early or stay after your treatment to enjoy all of the amenities! In fact- it's only $25 to enjoy all the amenities if you are not getting a treatment. DO IT! You will be blown away. It's just heaven. I had a massage and it was extremely relaxing but the real deal is the HYDRAFACIAL! This is a must! I cannot believe how amazing this facial is. 90 minutes of complete relaxation which is rare during a facial. I even fell asleep for more than half of it! You would literally have to get 7 different facials to get what you get from 1 Hydrafacial! My face has never been this clean, clear, hydrated, glowing, etc...ever.... This is hands down the best most effective facial I have ever had and the results show. It is worth every single penny. I literally cannot wait to go back for another one. Also, check out their spa retail store! They have some of the best products from all over the world. Davines hair products, mineral make-up with only 4 elements, NuFace, etc... Ask the staff about anything, they are very friendly and informative but not pushy or trying to make a sale, they are more like educators about the products...which I really appreciate when I am learning about new products...plus you can try them! Even better. Thanks Spa La Quinta and staff- I very much appreciated the entire experience you created for me! Can't wait to come back again. read more

Gloria my Therapist was very accommodating. Always making sure I've got everything I needed. Very good scalp massage treatment! Much needed from the desert hotness! read more

Spa La Quinta - One fine spa day! - Day Spas Near Me - La Quinta, California

I almost made a mistake and missed out on this one! I had read the reviews and ALMOST decided NOT to go, but something told me just to try it! I had tagged along with some friends from San Diego to the Resort who were playing in a golf tourney. From the room I called the Spa and asked about a few facial services they offered for the next day. The girl on the phone was very accommodating and told me to come over in the morning. I kept reading about the Hydra Facial they offered. Although ghastly expensive ($375 for the 90 minute treatment), I decided to at least go over to the Spa and see if this treatment was something I wanted. From the minute I stepped in the Spa, everyone was VERY pleasant. I was given a quick tour of the facility and could tell that they truly cared about creating a calming, relaxing environment which I fully utilized. My Hydra Facial was scheduled with Christy with a 45 minute wait, so I was given a locker key, changed and rushed off to the eucalyptus steam room. It was REALLY hot in there which felt good and really helped me sweat the toxins out in a short period of time. The outdoor area had several seatings areas, a Jacuzzi, and offered cold towels, cucumber slices for your eyes, a couple of fruit infused water containers and a basket of apples. I then ventured in the reading room before Christy came and got me for my treatment. She was so sweet and warm from the beginning I felt instantly comfortable with her and knew I was in for a treat for the next 90 minutes. She explained in detail what the Hydra Facial was and that this 90 minutes would also include a foot and hand massage. She also gave me a wax paraffin treatment too to these areas. SO relaxing and she was so gentle and always concerned with my comfort. She talked just the right amount and let me relax during much of the process as well. I WILL be back for this treatment and see Christy the next time I am in town. My skin looked instantly radiant from the minute I left the table and several days later still feels great! Give this spa and especially Christy a shot....you won't regret it! read more

I'm somewhat hesitant to put this onto Yelp, but I suppose whatever happens on Yelp stays on Yelp, right? Right??? Yes, I've been here. Yes, I think they do pretty good job. They are also pretty accomodating. Especially when you're still feeling the effects of the previous night and wake up 5 minutes before your appointment. So we run in here and they take care of us as they should. Some refreshing cucumber water thing hit the spot as I waited. I got a massage. And fell asleep. And started snoring. Loud. The masseuse had to shake me awake. Then my facial. Yes, I got one, dammit. And I fell asleep while she was popping my blackheads. And I snored again. The woman was laughing at me when I woke up. It was a very relaxing thing, very comforting when you're still recuperating from the previous night's festivities. And my face was nice and smooth. If anyone is reading this that knows me, I'm making this up. I'm just trying to pad my reviews... read more

We spent the day here yesterday getting pampered. We started out with the 80 minutes couples massage in the Garden Suite. It was divine I loved the Jasmine candles they had lit through out the suite. Joanna was my masseuse - she was wonderful! Joy did my 50 minute HydraFacial. If you haven't yet got a HydraFacial you are missing out! Perfect for the under 30's or anybody who needs a deep clean (men lol). This is my 13th time, still amazing. Competes with Bliss' triple oxygen facial. We spent our time enjoying the sun in the outdoor lounge area where misters cooled us off and attendants waited on us hand and foot. The pomegranate tea is divine! This Spa has a low star rating because people come in for the 50 minute couples massage promotion. It's a promotion! You get what you pay for. read more

See all

My girlfriend and I came here for a 75 minute couples massage and we were treated like royalty. The staff was very friendly and gave us a tour of the facilities prior to our treatment. The amenities in the locker room were top notch and the area was very clean. Now onto the massage. The masseuse was very knowledgable. She kept conversation to a minimum, but asked what I'd like her to focus on and kept on checking in with me throughout the massage to make sure the pressure was good. Well worth the price. The pomegranate tea after the massage was the cherry on top! read more

While staying at La Quinta, my boyfriend's daughter and I decided to book a spa package. Things did not go well. We had booked separate treatments as she is a teenager and I am well past that age! When making the reservations, I was very specific about the packages. However, the spa could not get the reservations right and she ended jup waiting for 1.5 hours while they tried to make it right. read more

"Better than nothing" was my description to my family as they asked how my 80 minute massage was at La Quinta spa. I expect a Waldorf Astoria resort to wow me with their service. I had to ask my masseuse if she was going to ask me about my medical conditions and preferences beforehand, which prompted her to do so. But she didn't listen to a word I said and proceeded to give me a "by the book" massage for 80 minutes while completely ignoring my requests that I prompted her for. I don't blame her, I blame the spa for not encouraging employees to cater to clients specific needs. I've gotten a way better $80 massage down the street from my house, this $300 vacation massage was extremely disappointing. I won't be back. read more

I love this hotel and spa. I would highly recommend it. Silva was great.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. Spa La Quinta is located in the perfect setting - in the La Quinta Resort in La Quinta, California. The Spa is run by some wonderful caring people. It's the perfect place to go to relax and enjoy the treatments they offer. Go early - at least 30 minutes before your treatment - to make sure you get to enjoy the steam room facility available to you. read more

Spa La Quinta - The La Quinta Spa entry... what an idyllic place! - Day Spas Near Me - La Quinta, California

From my blog travel story (two days @ La Quinta Resort & Club): After breakfast we hit the on-site Spa La Quinta for deep tissue massages. My therapist Alvaro is super knowledgeable in regards to stretches to help loosen the muscles in some of my trouble areas. I say this because one of the exercises he recommends is the same one that my athletic trainer and chiropractor had recommended I do. After breakfast we have scalp treatment massages at Spa La Quinta. I'd hoped for more pressure on the application but possibly I misread the description and this was more about a "treatment" vs. a "massage". I'm sure it will benefit my scalp complexion regardless. I'm not sure if it was pomegranate tea or hibiscus tea but it was delicious in the hot sun of the courtyard area. read more

I have been to a few spas and this one was amazing! The amenities and general vibe of this establishment is so nice. My sister and I both had amazing experiences. I received the Desert Elixir spa treatment, and it was just life changing. A scrub, shower, and massage all in one room?? Amazing! Pilar was friendly and talented. Hope to come back soon! read more

Beautiful surroundings, very polite staff, nice locker area and shower area, have been there only about 5 or 10 times, the massage is in the good category not memorable, the cost is really really high so hopefully you're on a business junket and your company's paying for it if it's out of your pocket you can do much better at about half the cost...you just won't have the thick white robe and be sitting under the bougainvillea afterwards... read more

A lovely massage and an additional service by two very competent technicians were spoiled by the inability to wash my hands at any time during the 4 hours spent at the spa. At first I thought all of the soap dispensers were out of soap and reported this to the locker room attendant. She did not seem to care. When leaving the locker room I mentioned it to her again and was told that you need to pump the soap about 12-14 times to get any soap out at all and that they had reported it to the management several times as there were many complaints but management did nothing about it....really did not think this was an acceptable answer but at least it was an answer. Since not one of the soap dispensers in the ladies locker room/restroom worked a real petrie dish of germs was being spread from one guest to another via the doorknobs, refreshment tables with fruit, drinks with spout dispenser, bowls of cold cucumbers etc. Upon paying I mentioned it to the two women at the front desk who were preparing our bill...no response at all. ..borderline rude! I then mentioned it as I was signing my bill for over $700 that the soap was a genuine concern and that I felt my concern was being ignored and not addressed at all. They then said they would advise management...but as we already knew from the locker room attendants..management was not addressing the issue. It pretty much ruined my day at the spa. read more

A 50 minute, very ordinary massage for $165 with 22% added gratuity added. Absurd. Totally absurd. Never again.

Never again! $200 for a 50 minute facial....which was more like 30 minutes, and that is being generous! I was dressed and out of there in 50 minutes and they came to get me late. Not to mention, there were at least 10 minutes during the actual facial, where she had me just laying there with a product on my face. During any other facial, they would work on my hands, feet, scalp...or something during this time! And the mandatory 22% gratuity? Are you kidding me? Never, never again which is too bad because we will definitely be back at this resort. A friend had the exact same experience with her massage. Total rip off. read more
