They give you a robe & slippers to wear when you put your stuff in your locker. There's a cold plunge for your feet & then also a eucalyptus steam room. I decided to get a facial & had a great esthetician Jeri. She really helped me understand what my skin needed & fine tuned my facial to do that. After your facial, you can go to the private pool & enjoy a dip. They've got a cocktail menu but mind you the cocktails you get are not made from the bar. They're premade cocktails in a small glass bottle that they didn't make themselves. I found that part to be pretty overpriced. They even gave us $50 off for if we come back to get a service done here. I was very relaxed!

This is my new HAPPY PLACE!!…read more We went here for the first time in December and I just enjoyed the day pass! A private pool, whirlpool, dry sauna and steam room! They have a relaxation room with tea and coloring as well as showers with straighteners and blow dryers so you can look as good as you feel after! Today I indulged and got a facial by the AMAZING Megan! She was kind and gentle. Truly the best facial I have ever had. All the staff are so very kind and make me and my husband feel special! I'm going to have to bring them treats next time because they're so nice. We ordered food pool side today which I was assuming would be average given it was pool side but it was actually delicious!! A little under seasoned but they give you salt and pepper. Can't wait to be back to my happy place again!! Thank you spa vea

They have various spa options from facials to massages. About $300-$400 for selected services.

This place is absolutely gorgeous. It almost fit the complete bill for being at a high end hotel…read moreright by the water. My boyfriend and I booked a couples massage here on a sunny Saturday. Having booked the service, we were allowed to utilize the amenities located in the spa. In order to get to the spa (if you're not staying in the hotel), you had to drive into the front entrance of the hotel. This is located on the side opposite of PCH. The only real option to park is through valet service which the spa takes care of as part of the cost of the service. Our massages were booked for 2pm but we arrived around 11:30am to have lunch and enjoy the amenities. The food was pretty good and the servings were plentiful. We got a chicken Cesar wrap and the charcuterie board. You're able to eat and have the food brought over just like you were ordering room service, it was definitely room service cost and they charged for delivery to the garden. After we finished eating, we lounged in the garden to catch some sun. This is the part where I say that it almost fit the bill... the weather loved tents providing shade had mold on the canvas. Maybe it was just weather warn because it does stay outside all year round? Not sure but I'm thinking that it definitely looked like mold to me. After the sun, we enjoyed the indoor amenities of steam room, sauna and jacuzzi. For me, there a few other patrons enjoying the amenities but my boyfriend said that he pretty much had the men's locker room all to himself. My favorite part about the amenities was the shower. The shower had a rainfall shower, a handheld shower and then several steam shower heads on three of the walls. The products in the shower smelled great and I would definitely use them again. For our massages, we have the couples suite. The room was absolutely gorgeous complete with 2 massage tables, 2 sinks, a gorgeous tub, 2 separate showers this beautiful stone piece on the far wall. Massages were great and relaxing. After the massages, our massage therapists led us out to the garden again to pretty much recover from the service and it was definitely needed. Upon checking it out from our service, we perused the gift shop. There were cute clothing pieces there as well as the products that were utilized as part of some of the services. When paying, they let us know that the gratuity was already covered in the cost so that was nice. Given the cost for each service, I thought it was a generous but also fair tip. Because we finished late afternoon, we decided to walk down to the pier and venture around there. We were able to keep the car there and the hotel bellman allowed us to store our gym bags in the hotel as well, all at no extra cost. If I was looking to splurge again, I would probably come back. What would sweeten the deal is if we were able to use the hotel pool too but they said that it is only allowed during the weekdays when the pool isn't too busy.

All therapists are great, but i have moved to Elizabeth V as my primary therapist as she has an aura about her that glows.

The entrance fee…read morefor single access to the amenities and common area was $40, and they accept credit and debit cards. There was plenty of parking right in front, though it was quite busy when I arrived. They offer full-body massages and skincare services, and the spa itself was clean and tidy, with very friendly staff. However, once I entered, I noticed the steam room wasn't hot at all. it was just warm, with sprinklers. The Jacuzzi felt murky, and the cold plung had too much chlorine which made my eyes burn. The steam room was the main reason I came, for a warm, muscle-soothing session, but it just wasn't relaxing. I told the staff, and the manager, Asia, was extremely kind and professional. She acknowledged the issue, refunded me, and explained that over the weekend, they do keep the temperature lower to accommodate the crowd. Still, I was aiming for a hotter steam, and I believe a proper steam room should have a strong flow of steam not just a warm room with sprinklers. That said, I left within 20 minutes but I give this spa five stars because of the cleanliness, the professional staff, and especially Asia, who handled everything with care and understanding.

The service was excellent and can see that staff takes great care and attention to making sure everything is taken care of. We very much appreciated all the amenities this inn had to offer such as the welcome drink, evening cookies (delicious!), sauna, sunblock at the pool, towels, lovely breakfast.. all complimentary (breakfast with resort fee). We also appreciated the 10% military discount. We stayed in room 23 which was a standard queen bed with garden view and liked that spot because it felt central, private, and quiet. The room is on the smaller side but it was fine. It does not have a fridge but they provide an ice bucket. We ended up putting our bottled waters on top of the AC box and that kept it cool. Being that the inn is beautifully historic, there weren't many outlets inside the room. The bath robes were very plush. Both lamp shade knobs didn't seem to turn properly but we made it work somehow. Otherwise, we felt well taken care of throughout our stay and so glad we came. Aside from the inn, there is a walk to get to Victoria Beach. We walked south along Coast Highway to Victoria Place and found the underpass from there. We also took the free trolley outside of the hotel to get around town. It could be quite a wait for the trolley as we waited 30 mins. There is a QR code on the sign to track the trolley locations.

The rooms had character, a comfy bed, and came equipped with many fun bar items for purchase. It was a bit musty but I think that is expected with being so close to the beach. One of my favorite parts of the hotel that was unexpected was the free breakfast. The breakfast was seated with a server where we had many options from a delicious, light, and healthy menu. Definitely recommend Casa Laguna for a celebration, staycation, or a relaxing weekend getaway. :)

The spa facility is absolutely beautiful and immaculate, and the service is top notch. You truly can't beat the view and location of this place. I enjoyed the Rejuvenation Aromatherapy Massage with added Himalayan salt stones. My therapist was kind and personable; she communicated well with me about my needs and preferences. After my treatment, I rested in the comfortable lounge for a bit and then enjoyed the jacuzzi, steam room, and sauna. You also get access to the outdoor pool with spa treatment, and I went to check that out as well. The service is excellent at the resort, and I received warm and welcoming assistance from everyone I encountered. Note that parking for visitors is valet, $15 with spa validation.

I have been to Pelican Hill so many times (for so many different things/events/performances around…read moreChristmas/dining etc) - finally came here (at the spa!) basically to do 'research' for a big group upcoming spa/wknd villa staycation trip. it was unbelievably amazing at the spa. I could not believe how wonderful it was - and i don't know what has taken me so long to visit. Hands down, my favorite spa in the OC. I went in on a quiet Wednesday morning, it was divine. the service was attentive. i ordered in the lounge and they brought everything to me there to eat after my treatments. it was immaculate. food was yum. drinks were great. There did seem to be, a lot of guests that came in just after lunch (after golfing maybe? tennis?) on the women's side. I could see upon exiting that maybe the attendants were having some trouble keeping up with emptying trash and picking up towels and glasses/cleaning shower stalls in a timely manner. maybe they all went on break at the same time? Angela was my massage therapist - she was a phenom! i am really looking forward to being back. everyone at the pools, spa, valet, concierge, grill restaurant - A plus!! thank you for a wonderful day of relaxation.

The services and staff are great, but it's the overall outlay of the space that makes it my favorite. I just came back from a two-day visit to an extremely high rated spa in California and came away disappointed at crowding and noise. Fortunately I have another visit lined up here already! Whenever I want a friend or relative to experience a truly first-class spa I bring them here. We come early and stay late; all of them end up ruined for other places. You can see this in most guests when they are helped out of the treatment room; they barely know where they are and need time to come back to earth. You may occasionally have a chatty group of women in the hot tub, but there are many spaces where you can get away from that kind of noise.

I noticed a lot of a younger crowd here (early 20s) - good for them prioritizing their wellness - I guess price point works for them too. And sadly maybe a lot of then, they do not know what is good versus atrocious. But, this is a place where one could leave with some serious skin and/or health issue, it is that bad. i was with MDs here. never again. i had 4 services here and each one was SO terrible (too chatty, bad services. it was painful all around). i found the slippers, towels, robes, showers - even the lockers/seating/walls/toilets/sinks/flooring - NOTHING was clean, just smelly/nasty - much less the amenities and pooled water/all seating. do not waste your money like i did. just YUCK. also why did they have like: zero q-tips, any product, disposable combs - like very basic items any spa always has. like even equinox has this stuff. Also their AC is always broken (we rescheduled twice due to their broken AC - they called us. guess what, we showed up - STILL NO AC it was stifling) so they bring in these loud industrial huge fans. nothing seems/smells clean (say 'green products'...). sadly, so many of the employees sound SO sick with heavy wet coughs/colds. they seem to hate their lives. and there is zero food. lucky to get water if it is not empty. too bad because it could be a nice place if they cleaned, cared, had good services. basic upkeep, and did not let in a gazzilion guests at a time. So much better to pay more at another spa and not contract some serious health issue here. i still tipped well because the employees seem so miserable and overworked/clueless, yet polite. but i want to warn others - do not repeat my mistake by going here (even if someone sends you for free, get a refund, or try a different location).
