I wish that I was driven to write this review based upon an outstanding experience but on the contrary, one of the worst customer service experiences I've encountered. Here's my story: My husband and I relocated to Cambria in October '18 not knowing a sole but were excited to embark into a new life experience. One of the first things he, my husband, wanted to do was to give me a gift of relaxation so he ventured over Hwy 46 into Paso Robles and found what he believed to be the ideal spa for me to escape. He is 72 mind you, dealing with major health issues and yet the saleswoman did indeed sell him a Non Refundable gift certificate in the amount of $500... Here's where it goes array, I'm deathly afraid of traveling over that highway (notified the owner of my fear) so even if I were to get there, be relaxed/renewed, I would be faced with having to return via the 46. After several months I accepted that this was a big mistake I decided to contact the manager and explain my problem. I was aware of the "no refund" policy but was hoping that being a spa which promotes meditation, Zen, etc. that this might be an exception. HA! I was told that I could use gift it to someone (who has $500 to just "give" away), or they would break it down into smaller amounts for me to gift or to purchase product. Heavens, had this inconsiderate greed occurred in the Southern Orange County area from which I came, the Spa business or any other business for that matter, would be extinct. Where is kindness and consideration when it comes to the mighty dollar? I quit. Sometimes it's better to bite the bullet. read more

My husband and I have been going to spa central coast for about 5 years. Kathrine does an excellent job of keeping her business with the latest equipment and what's in. The quality of services are always excellent! We enjoy going there to relax. Also love love my esthetician Miranda, I give it five stars read more

Called last minute to get a an appointment and they were able to accommodate me. My grandma's funeral was yesterday and I was feeling very low and sad. Self-care emergency. I was booked with Laura, amazing! She catered and to my well being and I was heard, felt and seen. She took my on amazing journey, her hands were warm like the sun, the fan felt like a summer breeze and her strokes were in harmony with the sea. Most relaxing massage. Thank you so much for filling my cup and making me feel hole. Many blessings. read more

Wonderful place. Ambiance is calm and relaxing. Be sure to arrive early for a foot soak.

I was visiting from the LA area & decide to treat myself to a massage for the first time since Covid. Wow!! Did I choose perfectly! This place is amazing! Aly greeted me at the front desk & was so kind & professional. She wisked me away to a tranquil & almost surreal back room for a foot soak before my massage. Everything from the decor to the Zen-like music to the subdued lighting was SO relaxing & peaceful. JD, my masseur was right on time & escorted me to a room. The entire massage - from beginning to end was just perfect. I decided to add the CBD treatment to my massage & I'm convinced it helped tremendously. JD took his time & was very professional & checked in with me to be sure the pressure was not too much or too little. Such a relaxing & therapeutic experience. My only regret is I don't live closer or I'd become a member. Even in the LA area - this spa is in a class by itself. I highly recommend. I'll be back! read more

The Spa Central Coast is such a treat! My husband bought me a gift card for Mother's Day. I thought I'd better use it to show my appreciation even though I rarely pamper myself and didn't feel like I really needed it. I was so surprised and happy with the 50 minute facial I decided to try. Marisa was amazing! I've never been so relaxed or felt so pampered. After the treatment I couldn't help but sign up for a membership so I could have this experience regularly. I've been back for my second facial with Marisa (includes upper back, neck, arms, hands, and scalp massage) and treatment for my face that leaves me feeling and looking younger, refreshed and renewed to face the world! Marisa is very friendly, professional and truly a wonder! Thank you Marisa! read more

Spa Central Coast is one of my favorite places for renewing my body and spirit in Paso. The therapists are highly skilled, each with their own personalizations to the care. Jeremy provides treatments that are a synergy between yoga and massage melting knots from your body. Nidia always has a welcome smile and calming manner and with perfect pressure works out what ails you in your shoulders and neck. Finally, Austin's technique leverages your body to release the tightness and promote optimal function. You will leave his care ready to embrace the world again. Don't miss these amazing caregivers! read more

I just had the BEST massage from Austin. He got all the horrible tension out of neck and lower back. One of the best massages ever. Thank you so much Austin! read more

My husband and I moved to Paso about a year ago and I was in search of a good spa which could continue with my monthly microderms. Coming from the Bay Area, I was very particular and my expectations were high. Kitty and her team did not disappoint! In the year I've been going to The Spa Central Coast I've had a few esthetician and all three have been great. Most recently, I've had Marisa and she is excellent! Her technique with the microderm is strong and effective and her neck and shoulder massage is unmatched. Plus she has a soothing and comforting demeanor and I'm always refreshed and relaxed when I leave there. read more

Amazing team to care for your every need. The spa is an earthy, relaxing, vibey place, where from the moment you walk in the place, the weight of the world is left at the door. We had an amazing massage, and the staff were A+... all of them. If you want to feel better, relaxed and tranquil, go here and leave your woes behind! read more

This spa is a gem .. I would recommend this spa to anyone in town. Liz is amazing for a swedish massage. The spa has beautiful fountains, and an overall nice auora and is very peaceful. Book two weeks or more in advance as they get super busy. read more

I'm really loving the cryo facial. It's relaxing & I'm seeing results! Making appointments is very easy & the staff is very accommodating. Such a relaxing atmosphere and very kind & caring staff. I highly recommend to anyone read more

I am horrifically late to giving this spa their props! I attended as a birthday gift to myself last March! It was right on time because a week later COVID shut us all down. I live in Pebble Beach but decided to get away to Paso Robles and found Spa Central Coast! The owner has crafted a real gem and hires gifted, interesting people. Everything at Spa Central Coast was perfection. From the front to the back, everyone was professional, kind, friendly, authentic. The aesthetic (colors, decor, vibe) of the spa were dreamy! I mean, I was straight vibing out in the back waiting room, lol. I had a 90-minute deep tissue massage with Delfina, and a 90-minute facial with Barbara. The massage was AMAZING! My facial was AMAZING! I eventually had to tear myself away so I could stop chatting with everyone there. I left floating! Oh, and no one tried to up-sell me on anything! So when I did buy two Spa Central Coast items (the SPF moisturizer and hydrating cream mask) it was because they were used on me and I really enjoyed them and they let me know, fyi, if you want, we sell them. Some months later, I returned to Paso Robles with my mother I would've taken her there but, at the time, they'd had to close due to COVID. I am so jealous they are back open and I can't go because I have temporarily relocated back to Atlanta to ride out COVID for a bit. But when I head back to California, I am adding Spa CC into my rotation (like I had originally planned before COVID disrupted everything). It is self care and Spa CC is worth it! read more

I've been coming to the Spa Central Coast for many many years. I have always had a great experience every time. Kitty; the owner is amazing. The team they have is seriously incredible. You need to schedule a massage with Jeremy and a facial with Miranda. Jeremy is really incredible and knows exactly what my body needs every time I come in. He's great with sports therapy and stretching too. They have brought so many new things to the spa. I've been doing cryotherapy and have seen amazing results . They offer a monthly membership which is awesome, and you get a substantial discount on your treatment. Since I started my regimen with Miranda I've stoped getting Botox and can't believe how amazing my skin is looking!!! read more

I would give laura 5 stars because she was so sweet and the massage was amazing. The place however I am not happy with. I showed up 20 minutes early and they took me back for a foot soak. My massage was at 10:15 and did not start until 10:30. They made sure it ended at 11:15 so I was shorted 15 minutes when I let them know they said sorry were really busy and can not give you a discount. We can add extra time next time (mind you I am here on vacation). On top of that it was not a peaceful environment, there's no music playing so you can hear everyone talking and laughing while you are getting your services. Would not come back. read more

The Spa is a a quaint very peaceful place the moment you walk in. The staff are friendly & make you feel comfortable even if it's the first time. Each massage room is decorated differently always very soothing to me. They have a lot of great products from the essential oil blend to skin care. I rarely stick with one place, but after the second time I was there I got a membership for my partner and I. We go at least once a month and worth every penny! read more

Amazing services....beautiful environment, spectacular staff.....what a hidden gem in Paso Robles! We had a couples massage, foot soak and infrared treatment- left feeling more relaxed than I ever could have imagined! I highly recommend stopping in - get an appointment you won't be disappointed! I can't way to go back!!! read more

Sublime! My partner and I were treated to my favorite spa day yet with the lovely, professional owner Kitty and her amazing employees. The energy in the rooms are so serene and electric, and your mind immediately goes to a place of peace and contentment as soon as you sit down in one of the beautiful rooms set up for rest and meditation. We then got the most relaxing massage ever, and felt so revived and renewed after. Don't miss out- treat yourself to the wonders of Spa Central Coast if you're passing through or a resident. Such a wonderful place, and there isn't a sweeter host anywhere. read more

An absolute oasis in Paso Robles! My cousin and I drove in from L.A for the weekend and booked our sessions online. The process was seamless, we even received a courtesy text regarding potential road closures due to a car show. I cannot say enough about my first time visit- the amenities were gorgeous, the foot bath was a pleasant surprise and the customer service, superb! After the hot stone massage, I literally felt recalibrated. My knots on my shoulders were completely gone after my session. We are definitely coming back in the near future. read more

This spa is completely unprofessional. Came in for a massage, receptionist was rude, the therapist was unprofessional and incompetent, the sheets were molded and stank like b.o. with sweat stains all over them. The whole place looked like garbage. DO NOT GO HERE. read more

The go to spa in Paso to get your zen on. They have a peace and tranquility vibe with lots of treatments offered. This place is relaxed and casual spa with great therapist and products. It's centrally located near the town sqaure and boutique shops and restaurants! It's a must on for tourists (and locals for memberships!) read more

Thank you for your response. To clarify, the only information not taken down was my credit card information. She did take my name and number. I would have absolutely loved a different option and would have been a happy customer. read more

My husband and I have an amazing experience at The Spa. We relaxed with the Take My Stress Away package and it did just that! It was his first time at a spa and that staff made us so comfortable. Suzy, Katie and Emily were amazing. I can't wait to come back read more

I was experiencing really bad neck pain and i called and booked an appointment and the receptionist was able to get me an appointment within 30 minutes, awesome! I had John G as my therapist and he was AMAZING!!!!! So strong and I felt better instantly, my headache went away. I needed that because I was about to have surgery and I didn't want to be on bed rest with a raging headache and neck pain. Thank you for making me feel better John!! read more

Violet and Ali are always friendly and helpful when I book an appointment or have a question. I've had facials and massages multiple times and always leave floating and relaxing. Be sure to arrive early for the foot soak, the mediation room sets the perfect mood before a treatment. My latest massage with Bali was amazing and I'm so glad I added on a cupping session. Pamper yourself, you are worth it! read more

lI really can't say enough about the outstanding quality of this spa. While on a birthday celebration trip, my friend and I had a couple of massage experiences. We found the first spa, recommended by our hotel, lovely but the massages were not quite what we expected. Since The Spa at Central Coast was close to our hotel, and we spoke at length with the owner, we tried another massage at The Spa Central Coast. The atmosphere at Spa Central Coast is very personal and soothing. The staff and owner go out of their way to meet your needs. Immediately you feel at home and relaxed. I had a deep tissue massage which was fantastic, and cost less than the first spa we attended. Not only was it about half the cost, but the masseuse, Cindy, was able to work on a long term problem I have had. And, the massage was the key to unlock my hip/leg issue. Now, I can walk without a limp and pain. For me, this is a minor miracle. I was so elated at the services, that I booked another trip to Paso Robles for a massage next month. Well, not just a massage, but wine tasting too! read more

Fastest 80 minutes of our lives! My husband and I treated ourselves to a couples massage for our 25th anniversary. We loved every moment. Thank you! read more

After having a tight back, and being on vacation, I wanted to do something to pamper myself so I found this spa and to my surprise, it had same-day availability on a Saturday. I booked an appointment with Kitty online for a hot stone massage to ease my aches. I've booked many massages, and I have found that with online booking, if you do it same day you might run into a risk of the scheduling not working out. Surely enough, about an hour later I received a call about the timing. I called back and a distressed front desk attendant asked me to move my appointment from noon to 3:45p because they were so busy. I said no, as I was visiting from out of town and had other plans that day. The distressed attendant panicked a little then told me my initial time was fine and she'd see me then. I wasn't pleased by this, but carried on. If noon was going to be fine, I shouldn't have been called. When I arrived at the spa, the same girl was addressing another customer, which was fine as I was early. About 8 minutes later I was finally acknowledged. I was told things might be a little late because they were very busy. I'm used to spa appointments starting on time, but I said okay. Kitty greeted me in the waiting room and discussed the massage with me. She seemed like a lady who was running around all day, and slightly anxious. I asked for some tea and she said okay. About ten minutes passed and a girl came by with a foot soak. I asked for the tea again and was given some in a very small paper cup. About five more minutes pass and it's almost ten after my appointment start time, so I ask one of the girls when my appointment will be. She eagerly says she'll find out. Two minutes later Kitty comes in to take me to the room at the top. The room was decorated in a lovely, rustic and modern manner. The bathroom was attached. Since we already discussed the massage, all I had to do was get comfortable. Despite Kitty's anxious undertones, the massage she gave me was ONE OF THE BEST I ever had, and I've had LOTS of massages. She even gave me a small facial at the end, and although we started about 15 after my appointment time, we went the full hour. I was so happy afterward. Check out was as easy as check-in... it took about 8+ minutes, including waiting to be acknowledged as the girl was pre-occupied with something on the computer. She was friendly, but not efficient. read more

Took my sister here for her birthday I had a 60 min deep tissue massage with a guy name John. Not sure if he was having a off day but he seemed like he was new. I've been a massage therapist for 8 years and particular when I get service. However when someone doesn't have any flow or really doesn't know the muscles that is bothersome. I paid good money to come here and will probably not come back. read more

I had an amazing massage (I think by Liz) and my husband loved his massage and body treatment. Facial not bad. Staff were really friendly. Review would have been a 5 but my 80 minute massage started 10-15 minutes late and this didn't get added to the time, so an 80 minute massage was more like 65. Also, there was a 3.5% fee for using the credit card, but the (really nice) front desk lady didn't tell me until the card was in the middle of processing. As we got so many services it added quite a bit and I would have used my debit card had I known upfront. Overall though, highly recommend. read more

Had an amazing massage today outside at the winery, Rachel was great! A bit of a drive but definitely worth it, the scenery is perfect. Highly recommend! read more

Ok you walk in the door & are greeted & taken to a lovely room where you are given some paperwork and a warm hot stone water bath for your Feet I knew right then my experience was going to be delicious!! Robert was very attentive & I had a much needed 90 minute deep tissue massage. I received a gift certificate from my girlfriends & will be back!! I think I'll try a facial read more

This is my favorite spa hands down. Aly at the front desk was extremely accommodating and polite and Miranda did an amazing job and made me feel so relaxed. A 10/10 experience, and I will definitely be coming back! read more

I had to cry that I had splurged on a prenatal massage for myself and left in pain. There were so many things that were odd about my experience at this spa but the part that made the massage such a disappointment was that it was completely uneven. I am pregnant and have been getting migraines so it was suggested I get a massage if maybe the cause was neck and shoulder tightness. I had expressed this and also that I have chronic inflammation in my glute, but it is not currently flared. On one side of my body, my shoulders and my glute was was massaged... on the other side she massaged my shoulder, glute, neck (for less than a minute), my head, my arm, hand, leg, calf, and foot. I think she realized it, but we were out of time so quickly rubbed the other foot. I ended up be on the second side for much longer, so one side of my neck was not only left un-massaged, but sore from laying on it I that position. I do not know the name of the masseuse as she did not stick around to see how I was feeling after, and I know I had booked it on the online system with Kitty (which I had seen on Yelp had good reviews, hence why I chose that), but it was not her who ended giving me the massage. Another odd thing was that when I booked the reservation it made me put down a cc and then when I went to pay they said they charge a surcharge if you pay with cc... I don't mind that but I just found it unclearly communicated upon booking and a bit hypocritical. If the business needs any more information, feel free to reach out, but I felt this review had to be written for them to know that their customers are paying hard earned money for a service that should be attentive and high quality and this was not. read more

Had an outstanding massage from Stacie this morning. I'll definitely be back to sign up for a membership!

Best spa on the central coast! I originally went here years ago because of the name. I was living in Newport Beach, Ca and The Spa of South Coast was my absolute favorite. I returned to this Paso Robles spa because their staff is wonderful, very relaxing environment, upscale services, great product options and they do a wonderful job. Kitty and Tracy are the best and are so welcoming, knowledgeable, professional yet so fun at the same time! read more

My husband and I got the couples massage yesterday and it was absolutely phenomenal. The moment you walk in, the aromatherapy and decor catch your attention and you start the relaxation process. We started with a foot soak while we completed a few forms. Lisa was my massage therapist and she was so in tune and able to connect with my needs. She is truly a talented therapist and you can tell she really cares about her clients. We will definitely be back and highly recommend. Worth every penny! read more

This is a cute little spa in downtown Paso Robles and if you are wanting something relaxing, this place is prob. a good place for that. If you are wanting real work done like deep tissue, I would recommend go elsewhere. Came here for a really last minute massage and maybe that was the issue. My masseuse was really nice and in the beginning she asked if the pressure was good. I think that's important especially if this is someone's first time with a masseuse. But then it was kind of a letdown after that. I mentioned to her ahead of time that I wanted my glutes and hamstrings worked on. She spent the majority of the massage on my back and maybe five minutes on my glutes and hamstrings. When we got to the glutes and hamstrings I told her to up the pressure.. She said ok; she said she felt bad cuz I was a small little girl and i said please please go to town on my hamstrings; they need it. I asked her yet again, please up the pressure and her response was that she couldn't go any deeper. She then seemed to skip over the glutes. Basically the massage seemed more like a swedish massage vs. deep tissue. If you are needing a deep tissue like I was and get something like a swedish, it really makes your body feel so disappointed and crestfallen. For those of you that love deep tissue, you'll know what I mean. Good thing I had the Beastie Roller with me so when I went home I sat on the Beastie Roller and got in a good massage for myself. read more

Updating from my previous review which was a one star. Got a massage as a Christmas present just so happens it was this place, which I had a horrible experience the1st time. Came in not knowing what to expect... the lady at the front desk was the same lady we delt with last time. She still wasn't that friendly nor welcoming. Maybe because of my 1st review she recognized me, (Very unprofessional) if that was the case. But then I was graced by this beautiful soul ROSE. Her energy was so powerful it totally blocked out the bad energy that I received coming in. Amazing massage, probably the best I have ever had. Thank you Rose. So because of Rose I will give you 3 stars, wish I could give more. But as a person that has worked in restaurants her whole life. Doesn't matter how good the food, it's the whole experience. The hostess, server, expediter, bartender, chef, etc.. if everyone is on the same level and wants to deliver same amount of service, this will equal a successful business. Still would rather go to River Oaks, because of the whole experience factor. read more

Made a group (4 people) reservation about 2 weeks ago on the phone. Gave our names and credit cards and we were set to go this morning at 11am just as we had arranged. We arrived 20 minutes early just as their website asks. Got there and... Doors were locked up tight. Okay... We waited outside and called... No answer. Waited some more... Nope still nothing. Called again and could see that it was ringing in the spa... Still nothing! We waited an additional 20 minutes and FINALLY an employee comes to the door. She looks completely bewildered. We tell her we have been waiting for over 30 minutes. Still looking confused, she tells us that we don't have appointments. She tells us it's been a rough morning and she try's to call the owner. Nothing!!!! Of course there is no way that she can take all 4 of us and doesn't even try to accommodate us. Extremely disappointed. Take your business elsewhere. They lost out in about $800 in services today. Won't recommend them or be back. Sorry... My hard earned money will go somewhere else. read more
