Okay, I extremely hate places that say "tips are greatly appreciated", and then once you give a tip, you are followed outside by the receptionist and told that "it isn't enough, you need to give more money".... I'm sorry, but the massage my boyfriend and I received today was not worth a $20 tip per massage therapist. Glad we tried this place out, now we can cross it off the list because we are never coming back here again.. read more

The ambiance of the place is nice but i am not a fan where where you have the open area to get your message where everyone can see you . First , the noises from the customers waiting is annoying and secondly, many customers stared at the clients on the bed who are getting full body messages. My reason for this place to have one star is that they take walk-ins and disregards to the appointment for my friend. The lady at the desk said the appointment was at 7 and did see us so give the appointment to someone but we had the appointment at 8 not 7. Later she stated to wait for the next masseuse. 25-30 minutes later, the lady said the masseuses are tired and do not wish to give us the message and asked us to come back some other time. WTF? Made us wait for half of hour and say they are tired. Wow! read more

One word, HORRIBLE! My bro n mom went there for my mom back massage n hot stone n it cost like $40 per hour. When she went outside , she went out said the employee in there demand $10 tip. She was gave em $5 tip n they demand $10. They won't let her go if she doesn't tip the amound they want. Actually they wanted more than $10 tips but all she have $10 so she ended up gave em $10;( which is sad n ridiculous!! Never ever come back for this type of business!! If I could give this place no star, I would! Worst place ! read more

Rude rude rude! As im walking in the front desk lady yells at me "lani" ughh no im not lani. i'm april and i would like a foot massage please. she says " are you sure your not lani!?" Im thinking ughh yea im pretty sure i just told u my name. I usually come to this place because I like the 1hr foot massage by Joseph. Today I didn't get him! I was a little bummed, that I had someone else but I had a long day, I'm catching a cold and I don't have the energy to be bratty. So upon getting my massage I get this new guy.. No greeting and no smile. Automatically slides the basket full of water towards me where im suppose to place my feet in and in my head I'm thinking okay "attitude" so I sit there with my feet in the water and he pulls off my hair tie. I automatically stop him and take it off myself and he looks at me like "wtf are u doing" so I lay down and he does an okay job massaging around my forehead and all of a sudden he's scratching my scalp for 10mins. Wtf!?! Okay this must be new.. And he continues on. in my head I'm like this ain't no damn massage. As I'm trying to get comfortable I hear my name being called .. So I open my eyes and to my surprise my cousin whom I usually get massages with walks right in with her BFF. So we hug say hi and giggle about how we're at the same foot massage spa. And the guy continues on.. He starts getting a little rough with me and basically plops the towel over my face while he massages me.. Anyway he was rough and manhandled me and was not friendly at all he basically forced the tea upon me and said here and walked away. When he comes back I give him 3 bucks! And i walk out really fast knowing that they would probably chase after me asking for more money. That's not the end.. I get this phone call from my cousin saying the masseuse demanded a tip from her because the guy was stating I didn't tip him! Please !!! a tip is not required and it is based on service! I felt pretty bad for my cousin because first off they assumed just because we saw each they automatically demanded a tip from her after I left! Wtf!?! Who does that! On top of that they made a scene yelling out " they won't pay for tip" needless to say yet loss three customers my cousin , her friend and I will not be returning! read more

I have been more than 18 times and every experience has been wonderful. The $20 foot massage is really more of a full body massage with emphasis on the feet. I have requested feet only on several occasions and that is pure awesomeness. The place is clean and beautifully decorated. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars (I clearly love it, I go almost every weekend) is for two reasons: It's located in a horrible little strip mall and the area outside the spa needs to be cleaned and power-washed. The massage therapists hang out in the front smoking and I HATE the thought of them smoking and then touching me. But once you walk into the spa, the angels sing. The second reason is because almost every time I have been there, I can hear the employees talking in the back and I can hear customers talking in the front. It's an open area, so they need to figure out how to keep the noise level down. It's difficult to relax when you can hear people talking the entire time. Still, for $20, I manage. But, all in all, it's a wonderful experience and certainly worth the $20. And people before me who have complained about a $10 tip...seriously? Build it into the price - where else can you get a wonderful HOUR massage for $30? If you can't afford a $30 massage for an hour, then ask your boyfriend to rub your feet because a $10 tip is minimum. read more

Don't be fooled by the modest size. This spa is big in cheerful service and reasonable rates. You will be greeted by the friendliest people, Julie and Donna. I checked this facility and tried the full body massage by Lucy and I was impressed. If you need some relaxation on a shoestring budget, this is the place for you! Simple yet elegant. read more

Recently went to the paradise Spa. I thoroughly enjoyed the massage. It was my first time going. Very at ease very nice massage .I will be back again read more

I've been here two times so far in the past week because I wanted to take advantage of their groupon deal while it was still up. The first time I went, my massage therapist was a friendly gentlemen named James. He was very polite and used just the right amount of pressure and consistently asked me if it was okay or not. It was gentle but firm, and he focused on all my knots and tight areas. Needless to say I tipped him generously and was looking forward to coming back. I told my boyfriend about this place and he needed a massage too so we booked a couples massage over the phone yesterday. The only availability they had was within the next hour so we hurriedly rushed to get there on time. My foot massage was bleh. We had female therapists this time - my boyfriend enjoyed his massage but mine wasn't as enjoyable as I was hoping to be. First of all she wore gloves while massaging my feet. I get it - some people don't like touching feet. But the feeling of rubber stroking down my legs was slightly uncomfortable and it honestly didn't feel as good. On top of that, she would just disrupt the rhythm at times and stop massaging so she could whisper to the therapist next to her. She also didn't use enough pressure so it felt like she was just gently caressing my legs for most of the time. Body massage I assumed since I had called in for a couples room, they would have one available for us. Nope. They just led us into different rooms and didn't offer an explanation. I know some places have limited rooms and it's not always guaranteed but it would be highly appreciated if they could just mention that over the phone so I don't get my hopes up. Once I walked into my room I requested for deep tissue since have a lot of back pain around my neck and shoulders, and boy was it deep. I know deep tissue is supposed to be painful but I'm not sure if it's supposed to be the kind of painful that makes you nauseous. She dug in to my back without asking me first if the pressure was ok or not. She jumped right into it, and since it was my first time getting deep tissue done, I thought to myself this must be how it's supposed to feel. It was so bad that I kept taking deep breaths, clenching my hands, and biting down on my teeth. I just couldn't wait for it to be over. At some point I think she finally realized it and asked me if I was in pain. I admitted that I was and asked her to use less pressure. She did, but she got kind of sassy about it and mentioned how I was the one who asked for deep tissue in the first place and how it's supposed to painful. I completely understand that, but every one has a different pain threshold and I think as a massage therapist you ask your client if the pressure is fine for them from the beginning. Aside from this, I'm really ticklish in my lower back, so anytime she would stroke those areas I would just naturally flinch. It pissed her off and she told me two times that I need to stop that and "relax", otherwise she can't do her job. I totally understand but I can't help that I'm ticklish in some areas, it's just my body's natural reaction and not anything I can really control. To top it off, I noticed she was giggling two different times towards the end of the massage while stroking my arms and legs. Umm, wtf? What could she possibly be laughing at? Made me feel awkward and self conscious. Totally not professional if you ask me. I normally tip generously because I know how hard these guys work and it's always well deserved. But this time it truly wasn't. I tipped her just a few dollars short than I normally would and the guy at the front desk was super passive aggressive about it. Yeah - sorry, I don't feel bad. I'll be returning but requesting James every time from now on. read more

Zero professionalism. Not only did I not enjoy the massage, I was hurt in some areas after the massage. I do not think their masseuse knew what they were doing. The music wasn't soothing and at some point I felt it was a 100 degrees inside the massaging room. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

My boyfriend & I came here for a foot massage after work. Everything was fine, however they didn't adjust pressure like I asked and mid-way through the guy next to us was snoring super super loud that it took away from the full experience and relaxation. When they asked me to turn over, I noticed the pressure was adjusted and at the end realized they switched masseuse during my massage. As we were leaving, we tipped a generous amount and all the cash we had. The owner came running out the door demanding more. The owner is clearly indicating they do not pay their workers enough and if they want more money they should build it into the cost. Not really a place a I would recommend anymore due to service and workers being underpaid. I've been here before when there was a owner who was a lot better. read more

I am a CMT and know the massage industry pretty well. After reading all the reviews, I decided to just try this place. I went on a Friday without calling and it was PACKED. Cant be mad at that. I made an appointment the following week. Me and my fiancé decided to try a foot massage. I enjoy being worked on too, but Im often let down. When we walked in we were greeted by a polite, smiling face. Its BEAUTIFUL inside. Nice Zen vibe, candles, music, the whole bit. Not a Burke Williams, but a good Zen/ Asian theme. We got a foot soak, a good detailed foot massage and a pretty decent body tune up. For $20...REALLY?????? Great deal. Its soooo sad to see all the cry babies here on Yelp. I guess they want the Foo Foo -Fluffy treatment and pay $2.50 for it. These guys bust there BUTTS. If you want the fluffy spa with a Jersey Shores Fake tanned Barbie doll, Go to Santana Row. If you want a good massage without all the hype, this is the place. . read more

I don't understand what the fuss is all about. So far I have been here twice and both experiences were up to my expectation of awesomeness. I had two different massage therapists for both my visits. I definitely love the ambiance of the spa. Very peaceful, calm and dim. Just perfect to relax specially after a long hard day of work. The receptionists were very pleasant and appreciative. I felt new and relaxed after my massages. I would give this spa 5 stars but my first therapist was chatting too much with me and I was in the $40 room that I was not able to relax and enjoy the massage but other than that she was very good. Perfect massage pressure for both therapist! Sometimes we have to weigh our expectations between the price and services. So for the price we pay and the services they provide are within reasonable. If you are looking for a luxurious service then this type of business is not for you. I suggest you go to Burke Williams, Envy and such for royal treatments. I just love this Paradise spa because it's not only walking distance from where I live, I get what I'm looking for. read more

Found this place through an app that had a discount but unfortunate it had a lot of limitations so I just decided to purchase the service directly through them. The pricing was definitely not too bad for a 100 min massage. I had Jimmy I believe was his name. It was a combo of hot stone for 70 mins and 30 mins of regular foot massage. I've been to quite a handful of places and although this place was a bit of a drive for me coming from south san jose, I felt it was definitely worth trying. I was pretty impressed with the ambience and the quality of the service. Jimmy was pretty intricate with his service. It felt like every little corner of my body was pampered except ofcourse for the hands off parts lol. Definitely recommended and will come back again! read more

I am a massage lover, go to this place often and totally satisfied with their staff and service ! ! I work a lot so since they have therapeutic massage, it becomes my favorite !! Compare other places around Milpitas, their profession, atmosphere, are the best reason make me come back and recommend to my friends and coworkers. I was so shocked that the bad reviews on yelp, some of them just make me lol ! ! So obvious that they did not really focus on massage quality, either cheap asses or ridiculous! Anyhow, I like this place, I don't think you will spend 17.99 at a place hat people naked in a lobby with oil all over the body. Gross read more

Love the ambiance. Wouldve preferred a different person to massage me. Vicky was okay; but it felt like someone was just rubbing me down. When I intended to only leave her a $5 tip (per my massage experience), the receptionist tried to hassle me and tell me that usually for a full body massage tips are $10. Since when was there a standard rate for tips? Maybe Ill try a different person next time, someone worth the $10. Or, maybe I'll just avoid the hassle and stick to my regular Spa on Barryessa. read more

The only decent thing about this place is the decorations!! My massage was poor to mediocre. They are not professional when it comes to making appointments either, They pressure to tip with a sleazy signs, never had a massage parlor that demeaned tips ?? i thought the customer should tip according to the services??? The community massage rooms are kinda strange?? i feel like people are looking at me while I'm getting a full body massage?? More bad than good. Try to avoid this place if you can. I'm definitely not coming back!! read more

Ambience is clean and nice. Prices went up. Majority of the masseuses are good, however, a few smoke. The smoke lingers on their fingertips which is disgusting. When they are not smokers it's a great experience. read more

I was in need of a massage and saw a grand opening sign for this business. I decided to give it a try and wished that I would have received an amazing massage so that this would become one of my regular spots for massages. Unfortunately, my massage experience was just mediocre. I really liked the interior design of this place. It is dimly lit inside, very clean, and has many massage chairs as well as some chairs for their feet detox service. The lady at the front desk was extremely friendly and helpful. She led me into the dimly lit room to one of the massage chairs and my masseuse came out with a tub of water for my feet to soak in while I received a head, neck, shoulders, and arms massage. I have to admit that it somewhat drew away from my experience that I could smell the cigarette smoke on my masseuse. The pressure he used was a bit too soft also and eventually, I had to ask for stronger pressure. I've gotten enough massages to know when a masseuse is very knowledgeable and can tell where on my body I need the most work. However, this wasn't really the case and I resulted in still being sore in some areas where my muscles were tight. The massage wasn't horrible but I would definitely have to consider if I would come back again. The very affordable price of $20 for a foot massage (but really it's a full body massage) makes me want to give it another try. Perhaps, a different masseuse may provide a better experience. They also have weekday specials going on ($15 for a foot massage until 1pm from Mon-Thurs). For the very affordable prices offered here, I would definitely recommend that others give this place a try. read more

I made a last minute appointment at Paradise while traveling for business, feeling some airplane induced back tension, and wanting to avoid rush hour traffic. I had relatively low expectations simply because of the low prices; however, I was pleasantly surprised! My massage therapist was George, and he was nothing but professional, attentive, and skilled with massage therapy. For full body massages, you are led to a private room that have an open ceiling (so don't expect the environment to be absolutely silent - masseuses do walk through the hallway and the open foot massage area). That said, I felt a conscious effort was made to keep conversations quiet and abbreviated (versus some establishments where you feel there could be a night club outside the room). The room and linens were clean, and I never felt rushed. For foot massages, Paradise has a typical open area with all the chairs laid out (so don't expect to be in a private room). That said, the chairs are spaced nicely, so you don't feel like you're on top of the person next to you like some establishments. I would HIGHLY recommend Paradise Spa if you are looking for a clean, professional environment with skilled massage therapists without the high price of a traditional "spa". read more

My first time and it was a good experience. The price is right for what you get. The foot massage is $20 and they do more then that. They cover you with a towel even though you are fully clothed so you relax without distractions. Very clean and quiet. I did not feel a professional place of business would post a "Tip" sign where it says $5 for OK, $10 for good, and $15 for great. I don't like feeling pressured into giving a certain tip.That sign is a turn-off for me. Other than that, no complaints about this place. I might try another place before going back just for a comparision on the whole tip sign. read more

Surprisingly clean, cheap, and quality foot massage. My regular place da tong in milpitas had a long wait and raised price so yelped and fmund paradise. Was not expecting much because in an old deserted mall next to big lots. Walked in and was quite surprised. Nice decor, quiet music and no funky smells. No wait and only $20 for an hour. Was expecting upsell or poor massage and received neither. Wish this place was closer but definitely my new go to when in so bay read more

Two stars for quality of massage and no stars for the receptionist who told me that a 20% tip wasn't enough. They expected 33%. Never will return. Customer should determine the amount of the tip. Perhaps they should adjust wages and prices appropriately. Ridiculous!! read more

Cannot speak to the massage, but business etiquette totally shocked me ;I ended up walking out of this place. When I called to make appt, they advised me I would have to pay 1 dollar extra if pay with credit card; ok, not a problem. When. I arrived, he asked for payment in advance; ok,.no.problem. Then he asked if I have cash for tip, I said no. I said ok, give a few dollars for tip, since I had yet to receive any service to decide on a tip. He said minimum tip allowed is 5.00. I said ok then don't put a tip on my card. He still added the 5.00, I noticed as soon as I signed it. I brought it to his attention and he said I am.required to give 5.00 minimum tip for service. I had the "TIPS amount should be optional argument with him..Anyway got him to credit me the entire amount then left. I was shocked that they would dictate before I even had a service, how much I should give and used the term Required. .as if it is a law..never going to these low life type places ever again. read more

I find this place better than footlax. They have a way better ambiance and therefore it's more soothing to me. They do not do hot stone for the $20 deal but they actually spend time on the feet which is what reflexology is about. read more

One of my girlfriends and I decided to stop by last minute for their one hour foot massage. It was very a relaxing and peaceful environment. They work much more on your head, neck and back than any other spas I've been to. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who's had a long day at work and just need some me time. read more

I have visited 6 to 8 Milpitas spas that boast "Foot Massage". . Of those I've visited I've notice one commonality...THEY ARE DIRTY AND THEY RE-USE THEIR LINNENS. It came to the point where I would bring my own sheets.My criteria has always been based on the spas CLEANLINESS and the QUALITY of the massage. Milpitas really needed the Paradise Spa. It is Clean, Quiet, Relaxing, and cheap!! haha. My first visit I was given a female. Not sure of her name. My second visit I was given Tom. He is who I see now on a regular basis. If when you go and you are not satisfied, try someone else out next time. If I like my massage I ask the persons name so that I may request them when I go again. They are all really hard workers...so tip them well. read more

There are quite a few $20 one hour foot massage places popping up nowadays, but this is by far my favorite. For $20, it also includes neck and back massage and you can't beat the ambience. Its a very clean and relaxing atmosphere. And the lotion they use even has a nice fruity smell to it. Can't beat this for the value! read more

Enjoyed a relaxing body and foot massage with sis. Price was right and got special deal too.

Go-to place for a quick massage. $20 for "foot massage" but they really do your whole body. Dark inside and peaceful music which makes it even better. read more

They won't give you a female masseuse unless you pay for body massage! And they will seek you membership without any restriction. But once you try to make an appointment, there are many restriction comes to it. With my busy schedule, massage is a luxury when it comes to time, it shouldn't be a struggle especially after you pay hundreds of dollar for membership and I can't really use it. read more

excellent , I felt relaxed, I reserved a bit late and they called me if I can come early .. i would be coming back .. it helps relax my strain muscle read more

I have been coming here for 3 years now. I have a very stressful job that I have to use the power from my whole body. I try to get a massage at least once a week as self care to keep my healthy kind of like a weekly detox. I usually get the foot spa one hour with Leo. He is amazing & gets every knot of mine out. He listens to me & checks in with me on the pressure which I think is important because certain areas hurt more or less than other areas. This spa is great because they offer so much different services. I think everyone that likes a little $20 rejuvenation should come here. It's very clean, professional & friendly. read more

Should've left a review long time ago, what a great place this is, really. I visit frequently and request appointments with Selina, she is a very experienced and amazing masseuse. First thing you'll notice when you come in is how clean and well kept it looks inside, I like the paradise theme inside. I frequent a few other locations time to time but this place is my new go-to spot. I've also had an appointment with Rose before, she has great technique as well and is really strong if you enjoy that type of pressure. read more

Great place for a massage! Prices are low ($40 for an hour massage) considering the quality of the clean, professional services. The interior is beautifully decorated. read more

First off, its a big disappointment when the masseuse cannot even speak words like "relax" or "turn-over" or "pillow" and you have to listen real hard to understand what she is saying. You can forget about all that if you get a really good massage which is not the case here, massage is below average, feels like they are just rubbing the lotion onto you with a bit of pressure. read more

Place sucked. Went in monday night left in pain. Didnt massage my neck instead she pressed really hard threee times on each side. Woke up in pain the next day. Will not go here again. read more

Tina is the best! I went one time from a friend referral and was lucky to get her. She is very thorough and always check if I was ok. I had a muscle strained and she help me recover from it and have done periodic maintenance for me. read more

This foot massage place is amazing!! I've been coming here for about a year. I live in San Jose and I actually drive into Milpitas just to come here. Always communicate to the front desk what you are looking for in a massage and masseuse. If you want light and relaxing indicate this otherwise you'll be surprised at the pressure most use. Also, if you find someone you really like, get their name and call in ahead to book with them! This place is very clean and relaxing! If your masseuse does a good job, tip them well-they deserve it! read more

I just had one of the best massages in my life and I am a deep tissue sports massage therapist and my husband is a Lomi Lomi master. I love going to Asian/Chinese owned spas like these because of all the hidden talent. I had Will and his only day off is Mondays. He is excellent in deep tissue and facilitated stretching. I'm coming back to him before I head back home to Kauai. $40 an hour for body massage and I like to tip $15-$20 depending on how good my session is. Love it! read more

The place is nice but don't let it fool you. I had a couple massage awhile with my boyfriend. It was ok to say the least I've had better massages. But they make you pay before your service. And didn't mention anything about leaving a tip. Which I'd be more than happy to leave except I had no cash on me. If they weren't so cheap they would of had me pay after my service to one see if I liked it or had a complaint. And leave the amount of tip I think the deserve. Instead the receptionist ran outside and stopped me by my car. Saying I didn't leave a tip and I told her I was aware. And she went on and on about how it was rude. Ok fine rude got it. But you left a lobby full of people to follow me into the parking lot and argue with me. So I went back in left a 10% tip because I was pissed. And in front of everyone explained to her next time mention you have to leave a tip and that she should learn from other place they make you pay after a massage. I'm not sure if they've had people leave without and this why they make you do this or so money hungry they could careless if I enjoyed my experience. Anyways I'm never returning here. Waste of time and money for a half ass massage with a young and arrogant receptionist. Find a some other place where you won't get chased. You get what you pay for. read more
