    I had the luxury of getting a 60-minute symphony massage here recently and it was great! Super convenient to access if you're staying at the Portola hotel. I was able to get an appt and did arrive 15 minutes early, per their recommendation, to get changed and have some hot tea before my appt. Funny enough, the tea available was not hot and one of the containers was empty. It seems like they need to check on this more often. My massage therapist asked at the beginning if there was anything to be aware of with my body, though didn't inquire about any scents to avoid. Lots of scents were used and I did enjoy them all, thankfully. The space is beautiful. I was able to enjoy the hot tub after my massage. I appreciated the lockers you get access to during the spa visit, free of charge. Really relaxing spot! I hope to get to come back again some day.

    Stayed for a weekend at the Portola Hotel and made a last minute appointment at the Spa on the Plaza. The menu is extensive and the service was amazing and worth every penny. Sabrina at the front desk was also great. The atmosphere is very cozy and we felt like a royalty. Highly recommend when you stay in Monterey!!

    Booked the perfect date night package as part of my road trip vacation up the California coast and this experience was definitely the highlight of our trip. The spa is small and intimate, and doesn't have all the amenities of a large spa, but my massage therapist Dawn was one of the best. I was not surprised to hear she had over 20 years of experience as she is a master of her craft. After 6 days of long drives from Orange County, California up to Oregon she melted away all the tension and stiffness I had from sitting in a car for extended hours. Staff was very friendly and the facilities were clean and very calming. Definitely will make my way back to Monterey just to patronize this establishment again.

    From start to finish, my experience was nothing short of amazing. I had booked a few services for my friend's birthday. we were greeted with a smile, the locker space was clean and the steam room was amazing! We had a CBD tub which left us really relaxed before the massage. Megyn was my massage therapist and worked wonders! A special thanks to Sabrina who helped me book and was friendly and informative, Vanessa who made everything run smoothly , and Megyn who was an amazing therapist. I will definitely be back!

    Stayed at the Portola Hotel & Spa while my husband worked a Conference so I decided to take advantage of the Spa. Scheduling was made easy with a quick phone call. The vibe here is what you would expect when entering a Spa. I was greeted by Sarah. Super sweet and professional. The smells, the decor, very nice. My 80 min CBD Massage was done by Ian. I highly recommend him. He was very attentive and professional. The bathroom/locker room was clean, nicely lit and decorated. Amenities included are blow dryers, curling iron, brushes, combs, lotion, q-tips and more. I would definitely.

I booked the Clarifying Deep Pore Cleansing Facial, and I'm honestly blown away by the results--my skin hasn't looked this good in years. It's so clear, refreshed, and incredibly glowy!! Jodi is not only professional but also very knowledgeable.. she took the time to explain what she was doing and made sure everything was tailored to my skin's needs. It never felt rushed, and her attention to detail really shows in her work. I also have had regular waxes done by her, and she makes the experience as smooth and painless as possible. She's gentle, efficient, and makes you feel at ease the entire time. I couldn't be happier with my experience. Jodi is amazing at what she does, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for quality skincare or waxing services. I will definitely be coming back:)
