One of my biggest pet peeves is in asking to see one massage therapist, being greeted by that…read moreperson upon arrival, but then finding that a different masseuse comes in for the session. That's exactly what happened on my visit. But the team here is very kind and accommodating. The biggest draw is the price point. The team generally offers specials and you get a massage at a fraction of the price -- about $50 or so for an hour. It is very difficult to find such an affordable spot, and one that keeps decent hours. It is very accessible. But the space is lacking in ambiance (though it is tidy) and the massage was just OK. Nothing terribly wrong, but I did not experience the depth of relaxation to which I was accustomed. Also, I left feeling appreciative for the time, but the benefit of the massage (which will usually last me 2-3 days ) was not apparent, so I ended up going to my regular masseuse later in the week. Given these reasons, Southbay Massage simply can't compete, and pales pales in great comparison, with my favorite location: Cozy Thai.

The room I was in appeared redone, not the same color as the lobby. I guess there was a change of ownership so it's a work in progress.

We purchased a foot massage, only to be led to what can only be described as their break room. Trust me I do not have high expectations for foot massage places. But i do expect cleanliness, clear lines between break rooms and foot massage rooms. It was an odd experience that I do not wish to repeat. The room was cluttered, with remnants of personal activity everywhere. Near the makeshift foot massage beds were personal blankets carelessly tossed aside, and the trash was overflowing, food storage, security tv camereas, phone chargers.

I was their 2nd customer way back when they first opened in Chula vista. I even became friends with the owner and would often let her know about problems. Once her daughter took over everything has slowly gone to crap. She and her mother run 7-9 spas from home. That is what I was doing last week when the cops came. I explained I was texting the owner about my appt I made and why when I got here the girls just look at me because they don't understand a word you say. Well it turns out the daughter had me trespassed because I was sitting in front texting the owner. I was angry because this happens all the time they both run these spas from home. Keep reading and you will know too. This place 13 years ago started out as a nice massage spa and over the years having the same owner who now has many spas has deteroited into one of the bad spas that you go to for illegal activity. If the owners or a Mgr was present then this kind of activity would be minimized. This is probably the most legal spa this owner operates. someone there as a Mgr they could stop this kind of activity. These owners do not treat the girls well at all. Many sleep here as well and the owner charges them rent, staff get paid 20 yuan which is nothing. This business does nothing for our community it's a cash business. STAFF currently they have 4 girls who most have worked there for years. None of which are certified. Not being certified the business is required to have a certified thera p ist on duty they don't. These girls are friendly but if you want a true massage this is not the place to go to. Past staff did have certification but they are gone and the place is left with girls who can give a back rub and that's about it. Along with the illegal things. Also 1 girl is currently wearing an ankle bracelet so I'm guessing she is in some kind of trouble if she has to wear a ankle monitor. I mention these things because they are listed in the municipal code for massage businesses. TIPS A $20 TIP is more than enough. If they had any massage skills it could be higher. And guys and ladies don't give them a tip until you are ready to leave. If you pay for 1 hr make sure you get 1 hr they often try to get you to change it from 60min to 30min and tell the boss it was only 30min and they pocket the rest. Again having a responsible Mgr there this can be avoided. The certificate that they bring is not approved by the C.M.T.C.. PRO'S and CON'S PRO'S prices noted hours of operation shown clean rooms friendly staff CON'S You cannot talk to any of these women because they don't understand. The girl who wears the Ankle monitor is the only one who speaks a few words in English but not enough to actually be able to help. *linens are not changed after each customer (only the top sheet is changed) *customers in spa after midnight *therapists not certified * no name tags * no certified Mgr that is present Let's not forget about the black mold that is growing in the shower area. This itself is a health and safety violation which could make customers sick since it is transmitted through the air. Funny thing I was the one who notified the owner of this problem I even went so far that I offered to fix this problem if they would by the materials. I never got a response other than they are looking at it. Its been 2 months and it's still growing in the shower area. At some point the city of Chula vista is going to have to Crack down on these places. They pop up everywhere just like liquor stores. The city needs to regulate these places and get a handle on them before it really gets out of hand. Please note the items listed below with an * are items where they are municipal code violations that the city needs to start enforcing. CONCLUSION They have lost probably their longest spa customer 13 yrs. You can get an avg massage here now nothing like the massage that you use to get when they actually had certified therapists. While both the mom and daughter have certificates shown I'm not convinced that they are real and not faked. So if you want an avg back rub or other activity that is not legal then you might like this place. Over the next few months my mission is going to provide real reviews of all the spas that these 2 operate. So far the ones I have visited are worse than this spa and the women working there are let's say not the best candidates to do massage. Stay tuned there are more to follow. As well as there are so many other spas that want your business and will do their best to make you a return customer.

Nice service and friendly people. Recommend pay in cash due to credit card service chargeread more
