My wife and I got a couples massage a few weeks ago for the first time. The massage itself was a good massage with prices comparable to other high end massage spas. But if you are going to be picky then I would say the service by the staff and the amenities in the spa was not as good as competitors. The resort did have a great view though. read more

My daughter and I received haircuts and styling by HANNA at the spa recently and cannot say enough about her amazing talent. Best hair stylist ever! She is exceptionally talented and such fun and personable. Best haircut and styling I've gotten possibly ever. Highly recommend!!! read more

My goodness this is such a relaxing space. Truly enjoyed my facial and the spa lounge areas and pool. However, it was SUPER busy so ended up by the gym and it wasn't the most relaxing listening to someone on a treadmill behind me lol Other than that, the amenities and services are awesome and I would come again and as often as I'm able to. read more

We visited the Spa at the Montage Laguna Beach as part of a celebration for my little sister-in-law, our beautiful bride-to-be--and it could not have been a more luxurious, relaxing, and joy-filled experience. From the moment we arrived, the customer service was absolutely outstanding. We were welcomed like VIPs, complete with glasses of bubbly at check-in, and every member of the spa staff made us feel truly special. I was worried that since we were not resort guests that we may have a more limited experience, but I was wrong! We spent the entire day--from 8 AM until the late afternoon--enjoying the world-class amenities, and I cannot overstate how incredible they were. The pool is GLORIOUS, with stunning views and such a serene vibe. There are two whirlpools, a cold plunge, a sauna, steam rooms, and the most thoughtfully stocked locker areas I've ever seen. The showers were exquisite, and they had absolutely everything: disposable brushes, hot tools, premium toiletries--you name it. And the massages? Quite literally the best any of us have ever had. All three of us left our treatments floating. My mother-in-law, who has been dealing with recent health issues and a fall, told us it was the first time in a long time she felt genuine relief and looseness in her body. That alone made it worth everything. I had done a ton of research to find the perfect spa experience for this special occasion, and the Spa at Montage absolutely nailed it. From the ambiance to the food service (yes, the poolside lunch was delicious and the service top-tier)--everything was flawless. If you're looking for a true luxury spa day, look no further. This is the one. Wholeheartedly recommend! read more

The massage therapists here are amazing, five stars for them but this is an overall review. I strongly advise against purchasing their gift cards. We bought over three $1,000 gift cards and only one was ever usable and even that took an entire day to confirm. Despite having confirmations for all of them, we were never sent QR codes. When I asked for help, they told me we "should have received them" and claimed there was nothing they could do. They promised to follow up but never did. At this point, I've lost $2,000. We have a confirmation email and bank statements that prove this purchase. As regular local customers, this has been extremely disappointing. Shame. We also got pedicures during our visit. One lady was very nice, but the other made many snarky comments. She even commented on our sundresses which were purchased from Nordstrom, modest, formal, and paired with Chanel/Dior footwear saying we were "not dressed nicely enough" to go to any of the restaurants and suggested we skip and come back another time. She said this in a very impolite manner. We ended up going to our reservation at The Loft, and no one there said anything about our attire; they were very welcoming and professional. This kind of false judgment at the spa is not good for business. I'm not trying to flaunt designer clothes we wear normal outfits all the time but that day we were dressed nicely, and her attitude almost made us skip our reservation. Overall, the services themselves are good, but the gift card issue and unprofessional behavior from some staff make it hard to recommend this place. read more

I honestly debated whether or not to even write this review because the experience at the spa was beautiful for most of the day. The staff was kind, the massage was great and atmosphere was relaxing, and everything initially seemed luxurious and well-maintained. However, right before leaving I saw a rat in the locker area ... That completely changed my entire impression of the spa. I mentioned it to the staff and left immediately. Since then, I haven't been able to stop thinking about how unsanitary and concerning that is, especially in a facility where people are using jacuzzis, plunge pools, saunas, and shared wellness spaces. What bothered me most was knowing that if there is one visible in the locker area, there's a possibility they may also be roaming around other parts of the spa after hours. For a place that presents itself as high-end and focused on wellness and cleanliness, this was extremely disappointing and unsettling. I truly wanted to leave with only positive things to say, which is why I hesitated to post this, but cleanliness and sanitation in a spa environment are too important to ignore! read more

Always the most peaceful place. If you go in winter you will likely get a clear view of the ocean from the pool deck--make use of it. The services and staff are great, but it's the overall outlay of the space that makes it my favorite. I just came back from a two-day visit to an extremely high rated spa in California and came away disappointed at crowding and noise. Fortunately I have another visit lined up here already! Whenever I want a friend or relative to experience a truly first-class spa I bring them here. We come early and stay late; all of them end up ruined for other places. You can see this in most guests when they are helped out of the treatment room; they barely know where they are and need time to come back to earth. You may occasionally have a chatty group of women in the hot tub, but there are many spaces where you can get away from that kind of noise. read more

Complete tranquility except for the loud garbage cans and no recycling! It really does startle you when they slam shut. Will I come back, most definitely!! read more

Had an amazing massage here and day with my girlfriend. I've been underwhelmed man times from an expensive hotel Massage. Not the case at the montage. The greetings were warm, the ambience was great. And my Masseuse Elvie listened to my requests and made my massage worth every penny. My girlfriend and I came to celebrate our bdays and she also said hers was amazing. Not only that but everyone who walked out was raving about their service, not always the case at hotels. I will Definitely be back. We enjoyed the amenities like the jacuzzi, sauna and steam room. I did not partake in the cold dip pool but others did. The showers and dressing area were very nice also. We ended with lunch and mosaic with beautiful ocean views and it was a great day! read more

Loved staying at the Montage itself (see other reviews), but their spa is unfortunately not at the level of their hotel and restaurant. The staff at the spa are quite rushed and seem stressed out. Not the best experience when you're going there to relax. I decided to book a pedicure at their salon, which I thought would count towards my AMEX spa credit through my hotel booking. But read the fine print- anything at the 'salon' is a different category and doesn't count as part of the 'spa' credit. This would be okay if the pedicure had been the level I expected for the premium price. However, it was very disappointing and I've had better pedicures for as low as $50. The woman who did my pedicure barely buffed my feet. I'm talking less than 5 seconds. She also didn't do a great job cleaning up excess skin around the nail. Her painting skills were great- pedicure itself looked good. She never returned to put on my sandals for me, which is standard practice at any level of salon, whether you're spending $40 or $100+. I ended up putting them on myself and leaving. She had been cleaning in the back since they were technically closed by the time my pedicure ended. Just a waste of money and not a Montage experience. I wouldn't waste time or money on their spa. read more

Keep in mind if you are coming here it is in a 5-star hotel so expect 5-star pricing, but also 5-star service. Out of respect for everyone and to relax they ask that you refrain from cellphone usage and taking photos in the massage/spa area. We decided to splurge and get pampered for an hour. I'll walk you through my experience step-by-step to help you decide if you want to come and what to expect, and you won't get lost (will explain so keep reading). Upon check-in with the reception team they review what you requested and gender of your masseuse. If everything is good you then complete payment, they automatically add 20% service fee for gratuity, but you can adjust later. They then walk you over to the entrance to your gender's changing room. In the changing room you pick a locker that has a robe in it and asked if you would like footwear to wear during your stay. The robe is sooo comfortable! You select your own combination for locker. Upon finishing getting changed you go into the waiting room (across from the outdoor spa, I may have gotten lost looking around for it). There are teas, fruit, and dried fruit to enjoy while you wait for your masseuse to come pick you up. This room is very spacious and comfortable. Once your masseuse comes to get you they take you into a hallway to go to your room. If you are getting a couples massage you will meet each other in this hallway. In your room you will go over pressure preferences, focus areas, and any issues or medical conditions/allergies. They will then leave you to undress to your comfort level and get under the blanket. They then reenter. The beds are heated and can be adjusted upon request. You start facedown and then roll over to finish up. After I rolled over onto my back and some focus massage my masseuse placed a heated pillow or towel (I was in bliss so did not pay too much attention) that felt great. After massaging my feet they wrapped my feet in a warm towel. Once the massage is over they give you water and something to snack on and leave the room for you to get dressed. Once back in the hallway they walk you back to the changing rooms. If you had couples massage with different gender individual ensure to coordinate with them of when to meet up as you each have access a sauna and hot tub (outside) in the locker room. Overall a very relaxing experience with top notch service. read more

$375 for a basic massage- I paid $312 all in with tip and everything at the lapis spa in Las Vegas the Fontainebleau which included a hydrotherapy tub, herbal inhalation room, snowfall shower, Himalayan salt room, and a argurmeisterr show. This feels egregious and if they are going to charge Vegas levels prices need to upgrade to Vegas levels amenities. read more

If the Montage Spa wants more customers, they need to hire people to answer the phone. I tried multiply times Sunday morning to book an appointment and was on hold and then went to a recording. Paying $345 for a 60 minute service warrants phone service. read more

Just like the OC TV show said it's a retreat from reality. Got to jump in hot tubs, go for a nice swim, food drink delivery to your seat facing the ocean, nice free yoga in the morning, free coffee in the morning, amazing views and nice bathroom. Only complaint is the bed was too soft. Would be awesome if front desk ask our bed firmness preference read more

I came in for a spa Montage pedicure today. It's a 75 minute pedicure, and I loved it. Aurora did an amazing job. Her foot/leg massages are to die for! Do yourself a favor and request Aurora for your next manicure and pedicure. Hanna gave me the perfect cut and blow dry as a last-minute appointment. She was a talented delight. Love her. Their retail area is dangerous. Great selection of merch. Everyone was attentive and polite. Excellent customer service throughout the Montage Hotel property. You'll get complimentary valet parking when you visit the spa, so don't forget to get your valet ticket stamped. Spa treatments are extremely expensive, but worth it if you want to splurge. Laguna Beach.....always fun and charming.... read more

This place has always been on my bucket list, so what great time to spend a day there then on your bday! It was a bustling Monday morning, despite me thinking there wouldn't be a lot of people. Was greeted at the front with a smile and a glass of non-alcoholic beverage (upon my request). Was given a quick tour of the spa, taken to the locker, and left to my own leisure. I lounged in the waiting room, took a dip in the whirlpool/jacuzzi (SO RELAXING), and grabbed some yummy snacks and delicious tea from the table. My 60 min massage with aromatherapy was DIVINE! It was the best massage I've ever gotten. My massage therapist was SO SO SWEET and accommodating. I wanted firm pressure and it was delivered, along with AMAZING smelling aromatherapy oils. And then afterwards I went to the spa pool overlooking the ocean and just relaxed. It was a great day and albeit the interior waiting room being a little outdated with the décor, the LOCATION and views of this place is what give it it's 5-star rating. Yes, it's pricey (the food for a measly burger on the patio was $32!!!), but it was a treat yourself day, and I definitely will be back. Plus, valet was complimentary when you go to the spa! Had a great overall time and definitely felt like a luxurious place. The only thing they can improve on is reminding women in the spa to keep quiet voices, as some come in groups and lack the awareness to talk quietly as it's supposed to be a relaxing environment. read more

This is one of the best spas in Southern California, period!!!! The massages are 5 star!!! I've never had a bad one here, ever.....which is very rare at hotels. I went for my Birthday and Neil was absolutely amazing for a deep tissue massage. I want to give a HUGE SPECIAL shout out to Karin at the Spa at the front desk!!!! I hope management at Montage is reading this....MAKE this woman a Manager asap!!!! She is LOVELY and SO wonderful!!!! She made my experience unforgettable and she's an asset to your beautiful hotel!!!! So crazy how I clicked with her!!! What a nice lady that loves what she does!!!! Sadly, even at 5 star hotel, it's rare these days!!!!! She's a gem!!! Love you Karin!!! :-) Thank you Montage Laguna. Your food is amazing. Best lobster salad I've ever had in my life, best drinks at the pool, best spa and spa pool, best piano player and lobby bar, our room was off the charts......I could go on but I think I've made my point! Haha!!! See you in a few months again, you are our favorite staycation! Xoxo!! read more

Spa services are amazing. Love Kate. The food has really deteriorated over the last couple of years. I ordered tuna ceviche and I thought it tasted a bit funny. But I was like. They would never serve me old fish I was wrong. I had really bad food poisoning from it. If going there. I would just stick to things u know will have to be fresh and not old. read more

Being able to stay at this property and also go to the spa was definitely a bucket list check off! Everyone at this hotel is so friendly and accommodating and gives you the royal treatment. My husband and I had a couples massage from Kate and Neil and they were excellent! The whole ambiance, locker rooms, showers, lounge area, steam, sauna, jacuzzi, outdoor showers, snacks, hot tea, anything you could want they had! We spent the whole day there using the gym, spa and spa pool which was so beautiful and everyone there was excellent as well! Nathan, at the pool, is amazing! The food was delicious as well from the Mosaic Grille! It was a special birthday for my husband and it didnt disappoint. We hope to make it back again sometime! read more

I generally don't like to write negative reviews but for a 5 star spa I wanted to write an honest review with the hope to see improvements for future customers as one should expect near perfection given the premium price. Positives: 1. Cleanliness- from a cleanliness standpoint zero complaints. Everything was clean and organized throughout the facility. 2. Facilities- nice sauna, steam room and jacuzzi area. Negatives: 1. Service- got there around 10am and there was no service attendant in the mens locker room to provide a tour of the facilities, something that is pretty standard for high end places. Also basics were not in place such as water bottles or water pitcher. It was 10am, 2 hours after open so it would be expected that these basic items would be in place. On the female side the service was better according to my girlfriend who was even offered champagne and mimosa. 2. Maintenance- I noticed that one of the lights in the steam room was turning on and off constantly, clearly in the need of maintenance. Again for a high end place like this the last thing you want is to be sitting in the steam room and watching the light constantly turn on and off like you're in a nightclub. 3. Therapy room mood lighting- Paying $400+ for a massage is not something most people do often. The room we received service in was lit, music inaudible and we could hear voices outside of the door likely employees. Again not what I would expect for a 5 star resort where I expect to enter a tranquil environment to relax. Would I go back in the future? Yes as I believe all of the above can be corrected with more attention. But for a premium place like this I think it's important to pay attention to the details. read more

I never leave negative reviews but wowww was this place disappointing. My masseuse didn't show up, replacement masseuse cut my massage short (even though I was told it wouldn't be due to starting late), only three showers so very long line, showers aren't clean, shower faucet coming off of wall, shampoo/conditioners were empty, rude attendants. This place needs a serious overhaul. A remodel is long overdue and the amenities are lacking. I've spent less money elsewhere & had way better spa experiences. Save your money. read more

Wow! My first experience here and I can't wait to return. I had a prenatal massage with Melissa. The amount of relief she was able to provide for me, I have no words and all gratitude. Definitely going to incorporate this massage with my pregnancy. The spa itself is quiet, serene, and relaxing. Ample water and snack stations, cleanliness all around, and the best part--feminine energy all around you. read more

What a beautiful and spacious spa! All of the employees are also quite pleasant. My massage was phenomenal and I felt very zen and relaxed after.

The manager of Montage Laguna Beach replied to my call and we talked about the pool rules. They changed the rules back to the old ones, which means visitors staying at the spa and the hotel can use any chair they prefer. The manager also requested me to inquire about this during my next visit, so I'll keep you updated. read more

I want to commend Laurel and Courtney for their outstanding service that was extended to me yesterday. Laurel is the most talented and amazing stylist. She gave me a haircut that is truly stunning.

Hair dresser: Angela I needed a haircut and I wanted to treat myself by going somewhere really nice for it. Haircuts are supposed to range from $125-$200 at the Montage depending on length (or that's what they say). Pretty sure they always charge $200 so they get the full $40 tip- they charge 20% automatically. She was way too rough with my scalp when she washed it. Then she blow dried and cut my hair dry- which made my hair look like it had no volume, when in fact my hair is waaay thicker than most. She said she cuts everyone's hair dry. Then she was asking for plant advice. I was talking to her giving her tips on her plants for about twenty minutes thinking maybe this will benefit me too. At some point I didn't know an answer to one of her questions and she responded, 'well shouldn't you know that'? So she insulted me. The haircut really was average and I would never go again. read more

Spent my birthday here and it was the best one I've had in a long time! The amenities were amazing and it was very clean. The staff was fabulous at assisting with any questions or requests.

Had amazing brands for retail. read more

It was worth the time and $$$ spent here at the spa. Purchasing an hour of massage or facial here allows you to use the spa for the entire day.  They open at 8 and close at 7pm. The spa also maintains the fitness center and pool.  My favorites here are their amenities like spa pool, sauna, steam room, whirlpool and cold plunge.  I had booked a 60 minute massage and it was divine.  My therapist Nuch, was excellent with bedside manners, listening to requests and recommendations for after massage care.  The group fitness room also has a view of the ocean and I loved staring at it while doing yoga.  I started my day by taking one of their yoga classes, followed by a sauna/cold plunge before my massage treatment.  After my massage, I was recommended by the therapist to utilize the sauna/steam room for at least 20 minutes.  After that I was blissfully relaxed and even napped in the lounge room.  The women's lounge was perfect to relax and restore.   All of their staff are extremely helpful and attentive.  I can't wait to come back here and definitely recommend visiting here during weekdays if you live locally to avoid traffic in the spa area during weekends. read more

Spa Montage Laguna Beach - Blissful - Day Spas Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

Quiet disappointed. I live in the area and have been going to the Montage restaurants and Spa 4 years now. Since the pandemic ended and things started returning to business as usual, Spa Montage has NOT. They have taken shortcuts in everything. The spa itself is unkept most of the time (I thought it was only that one time I was there) today it was no different. I even asked the front desk before checking in if the amenities in the spa were back as they used to be; I was assured that it was and of course it wasn't. 1. Showers were left dirty, towels on the floor from previous user. 2. Bathrooms missing toilet paper. 3. Overall stench. 4. Rest area rug is filthy, lounge chairs dirty. 5. Tea caddy poor, no nuts, poor tea selection, overall aesthetics poor! 6. Why why why have the robe pockets been sown closed? No point. Can't hold a phone or key or anything. 7. The Sandals are hideous and uncomfortable, what was wrong with the brown ones you used to have. If it ain't broke don't fix it. 7.b) why aren't you offering disposable bikinis anymore? And razors? little things are are appreciated when paying $400+ for a basic facial! Management needs to step it up. The prices certainly haven't gone down but the place has? It simply doesn't match the ambiance nor service to be quiet honest. Montage is better than this. Do better please. read more

I'm at the spa montage today with my wife for a little staycation spa getaway! I wouldn't normally post a review while I am still here BUT I have to.... The locker room attendant, "Joe C", is going over and beyond in the Customer Service category today! And not just for me. I see him going over and beyond for everyone in here today. I know some would say, "well that's his job" but it's like he actually CARES! You can totally tell when someone is "phoning it in". Not Joe C. He has a passion for serving others. I would even say that he is channeling Napoleon Hill by "providing more service than for which one is paid for". Great job Joe C! Keep it up buddy and you will go far in this world. read more

I've never had a better facial and he has never had a better massage. Every. Time. No other hotel compares! read more

Beautiful and tranquil spa located in Laguna beach resort. Worth it for a visit if you are staying at the hotel or if you are just looking for a relaxing experience. The attendants do an amazing job welcoming guests. Guests receive a locker to place belongings in, you make up a combo on a lock so you don't need to carry a key with you. There's areas to relax before your service with fresh tea and treats and magazines. There's a great sauna and steam room along with a hot tub and cold plunge bath. This is such an amazing treatment for your mental and physical health I highly recommend taking part in all the spa has to offer! There's a separate pool for the spa goers as well. The massages I've had were super relaxing. They use a variety of oils during the massage, each has soothing properties which help enhance the effects of the massage. They add gratuity of course, which is actually helpful so that the masseuses receive adequate tips! It's the best place to splurge on a self care day with girl friends or on your own. Beautiful location at the Montage and peaceful setup in the spa. read more
