Our cruise ship was making a stop in Ensenada and we've been here several times. I don't know if…read moreyou have made the same visit before, but the downtown area of Ensenada can get quite chaotic and crazy. One of the popular things to do is to go to one of the bars, take a shot and one of the big beefy guys will pick you up turn you upside down and shake you. It's a very odd place. Now the other thing to do here is to try some of the street food, they have amazing ceviche and tacos so if you haven't done that before that obviously needs to be on your list too. There are a couple museums here too- #1 is part of the convention center and is literally across the street from the cruise port exit so that would be an easy one to do on your own- they apparently have the bar where the first margarita was made. There's also a ride you can take out of town to see one of the natural blow holes in the stones near the ocean. But if you've done all these things and you're looking for something a little more serene, might I recommend Ensenada massage? They will pick you up just outside of the cruise port exit- they were there exactly when they said they would be and it is about a 15 minute drive across town to their location. Now this is not a five star spa, but it was clean, it was organized and the therapists were very professional. We had a 90 minute couples massage and the cost was $110 each, and that included cruise port pick up and drop off, as well as deep tissue and hot stones Take the time to check out the owners story, he has an interesting background and a journey that led him to own this company and help others feel better physically

There were two mini vans waiting and my bf and I were able to sit in our own transportation vehicle. After a short ride, we waited for a bit and were led to the couple room next to the waiting room. The issue with this was that we can hear the customers waiting outside talking. We had to ask the masseuses to ask the customers to lower their voices. My masseuse was a female and she was so strong! I was almost to the point where it was intolerable but I powered through! She took out a lot of knots! Great massage for the price point and people were super friendly. The driver took us to a spot in Ensenada that we wanted to tour so I was glad that she was accommodating. I would definitely come back again!

She is the only person who has ever done a phenomenal job of shaping my eyebrows, and I absolutely love them. Funny thing is she always tells me I have great eyebrows when she's done, and until having her shape my eyebrows I didn't believe they could look so great! I've had the manicure and pedicure here as well and let me tell you the spa pedicure is the best I've ever had. My feet were soft for days as opposed to any of the local nail places where it only lasts minutes from when I leave the salon. If you haven't tried Melissa Michael's spa yet, you are truly missing out on something special. This is a unique place and I absolutely love it!

She listened to my wants and delivered, and even went above and beyond what my asks were. very happy with the results. Desiree also did an amazing job on my microneedling treatment last week.

And the results (this is from my own perspective) looks painful in the beginning, yet yields results that are remarkable!!! Emagine Med Spa offers a variety of treatments. Check out their website.

Stay far away. This lady is a quack. She seemed caring and attentive during my botox injection and…read moreI was frankly very encouraged. But that afternoon my face painfully swelled up to breaking point and the I was in bed for two days moaning and incapacitated - and I am not a pain affected person. Over the course of three days, my face returned to normal - but there was no botox effect - literally nothing happened. My wife had a worse experience on her visit the same day and she didn't leave the house for almost a week. On top of this, she quoted a price of $100, but told me the bill was $170 and because of the pain I was in and the facial and some other things, I didnt notice the 70% increase. Of course, she didn't mention that she didn't take credit cards - standard at gringo places. Who carried $380 USD with them? What's worse, is we tried in good faith and gentle encouragement to work it out with her and let her make it right - a refund, trade for facials or other non invasive spa services. But she only wanted to shoot more "botox" which I was unwilling to do. She even sent me a picture of her "policy" that she isn't responsible for anything. In the weeks since, i have heard 20 horror stories from other patients about botox, filler and other procedures gone wrong and the corrective measures people had to take to go outside. Stay away, far away. She should not be working on people. Though, she did give a pretty good facial.

I really hate leaving negative reviews, but I feel like I need to warn others about Ale. I went to…read moreAle based on a friend's recommendation for a facial. I saw that she also does botox and had heard that she had worked in a spa in Beverly Hills. It hadn't occurred to me at the time that you must be a physician or a licensed nurse directed by a physician to administer botox in California, so there's no way Ale had any proper training in the US. I had Ale inject a little botox in my upper lip to help with lines. Note: She did not inject any filler. Just botox (I had several friends ask me if she had accidentally injected filler from the extreme nature of the swelling.) My husband also came with me to get his very first botox treatment in his forehead. We were charged more than the quoted price, and my lip started to swell almost immediately after injection. I have been getting botox 2-3 times a year for the past 8 years, and before this experience, the only reaction I had ever had was a tiny bruise at an injection site years ago. As the day went on, my lip swelled more and more to the point where the inside of my mouth split open. I looked like an alien monster from the Simpson's at my maximum swollen point. My husband also swelled throughout his entire face and had an excruciating headache for days. He's tough and barely flinched when she injected him, and he stayed in bed for two days from the pain. I contacted Ale and sent her a photo of the swelling and asked what to do. She suggested that I make a cold compress out of tea bags. She did seem like she wanted to help at the time, and admitted that she injects undiluted botox for more of an impact. Two weeks later and my face is back to normal, but I still have full movement of my upper lip. After all of the pain and embarrassment, the "botox" didn't even work. I contacted Ale requesting that she either refund the money or work out a plan to use the money towards facials at her spa (there is no way I'm letting her come near me with a needle again!) She sent me a photo of a sign in her spa stating she won't refund money. I see from other reviews that she likely made the sign because this is not the first time this she has botched a service.

I booked the 50-minute Sculpt and Repair facial and had a generally good experience, though it…read morewasn't quite what I expected. Booking was very easy through their website, and I was able to get an appointment the next day. The location is in a strip mall with easy parking, which made it convenient to get to. The space itself is simple but nice -- no frills, but clean and comfortable. My esthetician, Rada, was kind and explained the process well. The facial included the steps that were described in the service, so everything felt straightforward and professional. That said, I didn't find the overall experience to be especially relaxing or pampering. I had assumed a shoulder and arm massage might be included, but that is actually an add-on that I didn't realize needed to be booked separately. The gua sha/facial massage was the main reason I chose this facial, and for me the pressure felt a bit too light to be very effective. Others who prefer a gentler touch might enjoy it more. Overall, this feels like a good place if you're looking for a quick skincare refresh. While it wasn't quite the spa-like experience I expected, it was convenient and the service itself was delivered as described. Complete side note that doesn't affect my rating: consider playing different music that is more in line with a skin care spa/clinic. That may help the overall experience.

Most skin care places are closed on Sundays but Royal Skin Care was opened and I decided to give it a try after reading seeing their convenient hours and all the stellar Yelp reviews. From the very start, it was a great experience, I was easily able to book online and learn more about the different treatments they offer. I decided to go with the Basic Needs 50min facial - "This customized treatment begins with a deep cleanse, followed by manual or enzymatic exfoliation to resurface the skin and then light extractions. Custom vitamin masks based on your skin needs. Finish with red LED therapy to boost elasticity, collagen production, and product absorption." My esthetician was Valerie and she was wonderful. It was such a relaxing and comfortable experience. She was even able to remove a stubborn blackhead I've had for a while. After the 50 minutes, my skin was visibly more hydrated and smoother. The establishment is clean and it's located inside a small shopping center so parking wasn't a struggle (and it's free). One of my goals for this new year is to take better care of my skin and I'm so happy to have found a place that will help me accomplish that. Will definitely be returning!
