Check-in was super…read moresmooth and both our massage therapists were great - checking in on us, asking how we felt about the pressure and after the 50 min deep tissue massage we both felt super refreshed. I appreciated that the deep tissue is truly deep tissue as we we needed a stronger pressure massage and Hanalei Day Spa delivered! The facilities are really nice as well and the entire experience was so calming and just what we needed.

We booked beachside 80-minute massages for a bachelorette group, and the experience was…read moreunforgettable. Getting there, however, was not without its challenges. First, one of the cars in our group had its undercover ripped off by a cement block while pulling out of the driveway. We had to turn back, leave the damaged car at our Airbnb, and swap vehicles before continuing on. Then, along the way, we hit a road closure that caused another delay. At this point, the GPS was telling us we would be about five minutes late, so we decided to call ahead to let the spa know, worried we might lose our spots or be charged a fee. To our surprise and relief, the owner answered with kindness and reassurance. She told us everything would work out and that we would still have a perfect experience. Her warm, calming response completely eased our anxiety when she could have just as easily been strict or unwelcoming. We arrived exactly five minutes late, but the staff immediately accommodated our first group while the rest of us waited in the front office, chatting with the owner. As we talked about our car troubles and mentioned we were planning to buy zip ties to hold the undercover in place, she quietly made a phone call. Just ten minutes later, her husband showed up with a handful of zip ties for us. It was such a thoughtful gesture that showed how much they truly care about their guests. When it was finally my turn, I chose the Lomi Lomi massage. I was a little nervous because I wanted light pressure without it being too soft or superficial, and I also have a low tolerance for pain. My masseuse delivered exactly what I hoped for, with the perfect balance of gentle yet effective technique. At one point, I drifted into such a deep state of relaxation that my thoughts faded away into complete stillness. It felt like slipping into a meditative state of pure bliss. The beachside setting made the entire experience even more magical. The sound of the waves replaced the need for any background music, seagulls added to the atmosphere, and occasional breezes off the ocean cooled the air in the most refreshing way. Hanalei Day Spa went above and beyond, offering not just skilled massages but genuine kindness and hospitality. Even though their schedule was fully booked, they made us feel welcomed and never like a burden. After 22 years in business, it is clear why they have built such a strong reputation. If you are looking for something truly special in Kauai, this is the place to go.

First Haley that helped us was super friendly and did awesome job coordinating with us while we went and enjoyed Hanalei beach. Avery, the lady that gave me the massage was amazing. I have had massages at Six Senses and Aman in various of their properties across the globe. Avery was levels above them. Highly recommend her. The quality of a massage is very dependent on the skill of the masseuse connecting with the pressure level the client wishes. She was able to modulate and reach the right level very quickly. My wife was equally pleased with Haley who gave her the massage. My wife would NEVER risk a facial, and when she came out and told me she let Haley give her a facial I was blown away. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It was such a nice way to end our Kauai trip. We will be back.

I had a massage at the Bamford Wellness Spa on my recent trip to Kauai in July…read more I'll break down my rating of Bamford in more detail, separating the massage service itself from the spa amenities and experience with the rest of the staff. In terms of a massage, I'd rate it 3 stars based solely on the massage, not taking into account the price which is high due to the venue and amenities pre/post massage. I had a regular Swedish style massage which frankly felt like majority of the massages I get at higher end spas situated in luxury hotels when I travel, light to medium pressure (regardless of what I ask) that doesn't quite give the lasting relaxed feeling in my body that I get from my regular massage spot in the peninsula. The amenities and staff I'd rate a 4 out of 5 for the cozy relaxation area, cleanliness, modern and well kept locker room/shower area, and friendly service. The spa lacks a designated pool area that I tend to find in hotel spas overseas which is always a nice treat. Pros: Friendly staff, clean and modern amenities, situated in a gorgeous hotel. Cons: Nothing exceptional in terms of the massage itself, the premium paid is for the venue and amenities.

I was called 16 hours before the time of service and was told a technician was sick and they had no options at the same time for both guests. We ended up changing a service and time in order to make it work. I am definitely sympathetic to staff members being sick but thought it was interesting it was the same day as a Sephora brand trip when all influencers were posting about the spa. The spa amenities lack attention to detail. My friend was given two different sized shoes, as a non-resort guest, we could not use the pool or hot tub. There were no bags provided for wet swimwear or clothing. The showers are all rain showers which is nice but if you had a facial and are trying to avoid your face, it's very difficult. Customer service was not especially friendly or welcoming and I was disappointed with the experience for the price. Overall, I would not return or recommend.

My math: $225 per person = $450 10% resort fee = $45 20% gratuity = $90 Their math: "Since it is two people you will need to calculate each thing by 2. $225 per person = $450 10% resort fee x2 = $80.91 20% gratuity x2 = $110" Standard practice would double the dollars, not the percentage, unless they actually charge 20% fee and over 20% tip for a couples massage. Unless someone can correct me?? Can't speak to the services since we did not receive them. I was off-put enough by this that I didn't proceed with booking. Posting for awareness to others.

The grounds are stunning, with gorgeous tropical plants & flowers everywhere you look. Around sunset, 3 whippoorwills showed up and started singing to each other in the trees. I swear it was like they put on a show for us! Overall it was a magical experience. Cool citrus water was provided. Bring your own towels or rent one for $5. It seemed the cafe was not operating while we were there, so I picked up dinner at a restaurant a few minutes down the road while my sweetheart got his massage. We each had a wonderful 1-hour massage with Lila Lara. She is fantastic! That was the best massage of my life, an integration of Swedish massage, lomi lomi, and craniosacral. Ask them to book you with her when you schedule a massage! I wish we had arrived earlier in the day and booked 1.5 hours for massages. There were a few other people at the pool and a caretaker who checked in with us frequently. This was a great way to get relaxed at the start of our vacation!

Katharina included our angelic son in everything we experienced and helped us to connect with the blessings of our sacred marriage.
