I booked a last-minute same day appointment at Catalina Sea Spa and am still in shock at how…read moreincredible the experience was. Esther is a phenomenal massage therapist. She was so attentive, starting the session by asking thoughtful questions to understand my needs and checked the pressure throughout. She was incredibly mindful of my arthritis and specific sore spots, ensuring the pressure was perfect. The addition of the heated massage table, aromatherapy, hot stones, and hot towels made the session feel deeply healing. Best 50 minute massage ever and I wish I booked a longer session. They accept credit card, Venmo and cash. Esther is truly incredible. I can't recommend her enough! I plan to book her for any future sessions when I'm on vacation here again!

Nothing about this place feels like a spa or is relaxing. We were greeted in a dark hall that had…read morevery limited signage on the street. The massage didn't do anything for me. The tea tree scalp massage ended up being an absolute discomfort that consisted of my masseuse just tangling my hair and making my hair greasy. She did not give a scalp massage but more so felt like a toddler was running her hands through my hair. Rather than leaving this place relaxed, I feel like I left more tense and with ragged hair. To top things off, the young woman made a snarky comment to my partner and I at the end. She said "You should consider drinking water and eating healthier. Your body might overall improve".. I didn't want to bother making a scene because another couple was already there to get their service and the tone would have completely changed for everyone. I hope the young woman (likely mid to late 20s) takes some courses to improve on her professionalism and quality of work because whatever she was doing is not it.. I do not recommend this place. I wish I remembered the young woman's name because she did not display any knowledge or professionalism.

My daughter and I stayed at this hotel for two nights in September, and we really enjoyed our stay…read more The room was located on the fourth floor facing the courtyard and had a view of the water and a small balcony. We didn't hear any noise from the courtyard. The location is great with easy walking access to all of Avalon's attractions, shops, restaurants, and the boat dock for the ferry. The room was large with a comfortable bed, mini-refrigerator, and table. The dressing area was outside the bathroom and spacious. The provided breakfast consisted of parties, bread, jams, cereals, and oatmeal, as well as coffee and tea. It was sufficient for us. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Our room rate was higher than we usually spend, but we were celebrating my daughter's birthday, so we splurged. They provided a bottle of champagne to wish her happy birthday.

The staff is very courteous and the rooms are always clean and very cozy comfortable. The bathroom always has enough towels & complimentary toiletries. Some rooms have a balcony and the last one we stayed at had a fireplace. There's a spa on the rooftop and you get a good view of the beach & ocean. The hotel offers daily complimentary breakfast too. There's even a courtyard where you can go check into a spa for a massage or even get something to eat. There's an amusement center too. Always an enjoyable stay at the Hotel Metropole. Since we always stay for 3 days, my only feedback is if they have daily housekeeping.

I was able to book a little trip to Catalina recently and it was worth it just to see her. Her spa is lovely!

Saber is out of this world! Seriously. And she takes me with her every time she works on me…read more I injured myself on a run a year and a half ago and luckily (but unluckily) didn't break or fracture anything. My body healed around the damaged tissue and stress in my muscles and it took this long for any real pain (beyond the fall) to appear. When I met Saber I wasn't looking for massage therapy. I've worked with a chiropractor a few months ago but I can feel my body wanting to go back to the "injured" state it was in the for the last year and a half. I actually didn't know massage could be therapeutic beyond relaxing and working into tight muscles. I met her through a group of friends and she insisted to let her work on me because she could see how much pain I was in. Saber becomes one with me and my body and I swear my body tells her exactly what she needs to do in our session. Not gonna lie, it's painful. But what in life isn't painful and worth it. Especially when you're already in pain from an injury or sitting at your desk or how physical your job is. She's done work on me I would have never thought a massage THERAPIST could do. It's honestly therapy. I'm looking forward to our next appointment together as a relaxer, since the last few times have been intense ‍ but I'm also ready to heal and I know this is part of the journey. I hope this review makes you want to see Saber for any of your bodily alignments. I promise you won't regret it. Many friends I've sent there agree with me 100% on everything I've put in this review. Thank you Saber

I came in with my girlfriend for her to get a piercing on her birthday, today. August 9, 2025. The…read moreservice itself was good from a boyfriend standing in the room just there being supportive point of view. I felt it was professional and clean and she answered the questions asked and didn't rush. I stood in the same spot the entire time. never moved. Just watched. The shop is small. There is no space for moving or seating for bystanders. And that was understandable as piercings are typically quick. Unfortunately, the positive experience I was having was completely overshadowed by what happened after the piercing. Shortly after my girlfriend's piercing, the owner or piercer or hairstylist Monica (sorry I didn't inquire her professional title) accused us of stealing money. Exact words she used were "Did you guys steal my money!?" *We are both Black* and it was immediately clear to me that this was racial profiling. I laughed assuming she was joking and said "oh you have to be joking?". *Though it would have been a really inappropriate joke*. But she was serious. She then stated again that her previous client left money for her that was "gone". at this time the money she is questioning me over is visible to myself still standing in the same spot. the entire time still 10 feet away. I could literally see the money as we were being accused by her of stealing it. To think she wouldn't even look for it before doubling down and randomly accusing us or me who had been standing in the same exact spot for 15 minutes in her constant view was very offensive, alarming, and telling. So I pointed to it as if it was any of my business or as if it was my obligation to prove any type of innocence in her completely unwarranted accusation. Monica admitted she felt embarrassed. I stated "AWKWARD". The room fell silent. We paid and left. but the harm was already done. As a Black man, being falsely accused of theft is deeply humiliating and upsetting, and I know my girlfriend felt the same on her birthday. The feeling sits with you. This situation spoke volumes about her assumptions and disregard for how her words and how her actions would impact us. The piercing work was fine, but the lack of respect, the rush to judgment, and the racial bias make it impossible for me to recommend this business. Your experience may not be my experience your skin may not be my own. but this moment will live with me forever. So I felt at best I could be empowered by sharing my truth. And letting it go. First time visit to Catalina. "Avalon"
