I usually go to Spa Palace in K. Town so I was super happy when my coworker told me about Riviera…read moreHealth Spa. It's a little closer drive from Long Beach and since gas it's crazy expensive, that's a win for me! The place was super clean, well organized, and labeled. I spent a few hours in the women's only area going back and forth between the hot tubs, cold plunge and wet and dry saunas. My muscles feel super happy! After I have myself a good scrub I got dressed and made my way down to the co-ed portion. There I found a good spot to plop my mat down and work on a paper since it is finals week for me. After that I made my way to the cafeteria for some Spicy Beef Noodle soup. I was surprised at the price tag--$20 for a bowl, but the portion and especially the taste justified it. Definitely ok for a once in a while treat! I ended my 6 hour spa day with sitting outside and working some more on homework before calling it quits. Overall, Riviera is such a gem. $30 for a spa pass to soak, sweat and eat your stress away, will always be worth it in my book. Can't wait to be back soon. :)

Went to Riviera Health Spa with two friends on March 24th. We booked the oil massage ($90 package,…read morewhich includes a day spa pass for $30), but we will never be coming back. After the service, we each received envelopes requesting tips. This was reasonable, but since it was never stated on the website, before, or even during, the service provided. The package we purchased sounded like everything was included, so unfortunately, we did not bring cash. My friend's masseuse, Choi, began giving us odd looks as we were packing up. As soon as we began to leave, we saw her standing by the door blocking our exit. She begins screaming at us, yelling "these three girls did not tip!"in front of all the patrons in the lobby. I ask the front desk attendant if there is any way I can tip with card because I don't have cash on me. She refers me to the ATM inside but when I show her that it fails, she doesn't budge, and the masseuse continues screaming, still blocking the entrance. The front desk lady tells us that just this once I can pay for a cash tip with my card, no option of leaving without one. I ask her to tip $36, and she pretends she doesn't hear me, saying, "$46?" twice after I repeat "no, $36" before shaking her head, sighing loudly, and saying, "if you really want to tip $36 then go ahead". I give her my card and she tosses cash down on the counter. The second the envelopes are stuffed, everyone's demeanor completely changes and suddenly they're thanking us, waving goodbye, and wishing us a good night and to come back again soon. My party including myself are minors. We were scared of what would happen if we didn't tip. I would have been happy to tip if the situation was handled any other way, but this was outrageous, since we were intimidated into not being able to leave. This was supposed to be a fun and relaxing birthday getaway trip, but ended up being the scariest and most frustrating part of our time in LA. I keep seeing the team reply to reviews similar to this with a ChatGPT generated response saying that this is not their standard, but there are so many reviews saying otherwise. Will be choosing any spa but this one from now on.

The good: I came on mother's day with a Costco gift card and…read morehad an amazing and relaxing time! I only had a 35 minute massage but it was so thorough I felt more relaxed than I have at other massages that were 60-90 minutes. It helped a lot to have had warm tea and gone in a warm jacuzzi before the massage because I felt extra loose/relaxed. I liked the giant "MOM" lettering they had in the waiting area with roses for mother's day and the bonus butterfly gummies they gave as a special treat (similar to Sugarfina's). When you enter the spa on the 2nd floor you feel transported to a totally different zen Southeast Asia boutique. They have fake orchids/bamboo and fans that give it a SE Asia feel. They had lemonade and lemongrass tea that was self-serve. The tea was delicious! The jacuzzi was nice and I had it to myself for half of the time. I didn't use the sauna or steam room but they weren't full either. The robes were heavy and big so it covered you up a lot which made it easier to change in and out of clothes. You can wear your swimwear into the jacuzzi unlike at some of the Korean day spas. You can come 1 hour before your massage or facial service to use the communal jacuzzi/sauna area. My massage therapist was professional, thoughtful, thorough, strong and gave a great hand massage! The bad: Someone's phone alarm was going off for a really long time in the women's locker room. The interesting: The upstairs is normally for men but on mother's day they turned it into the "zen" floor and allowed women (no men that day).

Love this place! My wife and I visited for her birthday, and it turned out to be one of the most…read morememorable experiences we've had together. We were fortunate to book the Valentine's Day couples massage package, which made the visit even more special. While the pricing may be slightly higher than other Korean spas, the value becomes very clear once you experience the level of privacy and care they provide. If you're someone who appreciates quiet, personal time whether as a couple or with family, this is absolutely the right place. The package included a full massage along with access to the hot stone spa. The hot stone spa area also features a shower whirlpool, which was incredibly relaxing. They provide shampoo, body wash, and hair treatment products, but you're welcome to bring your own if you prefer. Before entering, they provide two sets of clothing: one designated for the hot stone spa and a long gown for the massage session, which adds a thoughtful and comfortable touch to the experience. Overall, the atmosphere reflects a very refined and authentic Japanese cultural aesthetic, peaceful, clean, and detail-oriented. It truly felt like a private retreat rather than just a spa visit. Highly recommended for special occasions or anyone looking to unwind in a more intimate setting.

From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was serene and inviting, with soft spa music and a calming blend of vanilla and lavender oils setting the perfect tone (I picked that combination). I chose the Tranquil Journey and enjoyed every moment of it so much that I immediately booked my next session - this is officially my new monthly self-care ritual! Sequita took the time to understand my skin's needs, recommending only the essential products to get me started on my skincare journey. I appreciated that there was no pressure to buy more than what was necessary - just a thoughtful, intentional start. To top it all off, she mailed me a personalized card with clear instructions for my daily routine. That level of care and detail left a lasting impression.

A friendly, warm, calm welcome from Sequita who offered me a glass of red wine while I filled out the paperwork. She and Denise sat with me individually to discuss my needs for the facial and massage. 3. The massage that included dry brush and scrub! I've been having this left shoulder pain/knot that I'd wake up with some tingling from time to time for a long time....that pain is GONE!! Denise communicated to make sure the pressure was to my liking and it was heavenly! Perfect pressure, super relaxing, and she paid attention to all the little tension spots I didn't even realize were tight. 4. The facial...it's probably been at least a year since I've had one and I felt like it showed! I needed this and Sequita was super knowledgeable and customized the facial to exactly what my skin needed--my face was literally glowing. Sequita and Denise were professional, kind, and made me feel totally comfortable. If you're looking to treat yourself or reset after a long week, this is the spot!! Not only that...they mailed me...MAILED, not e-mailed a birthday card, with tips to continue a regimen, & a gift certificate! Highly recommend!

I saw a grand opening sign for this Massage Place so I tried it out because it's very close to…read morewhere I live in torrance and the prices seemed very fair. The room itself was clean, but there were several things that were very strange and inconvenient as a paying customer that came to relax. Firstly, there is a sound that is made every time the door opens, and it is extremely loud. Even from inside the Massage room, I could hear everything happening outside and it was not relaxing at all to hear the dingdong every time the door opened. Second, I was not given a blanket to put over my body (just a small thin towel) and the room was fairly cold. In the middle of the Massage I had to ask for an additional blanket... and I was just given another small towel. Third, the masseuse asked for payment before the Massage, which is very unusual.... I didn't know if I should tip her before the massage as well and I felt awkward about the whole payment experience. Fourth, the masseuse went in and out of the room two times during the massage to deal with another customer... and she definitely did not give me the full hour massage considering that in and out, and her finishing earlier than the full hour mark which was really disappointing as a paying customer. Lastly, the massage itself was not great... it was very mediocre and it would've been OK if everything else that I mentioned was not an issue. Overall, I was really excited to try this place, but was very disappointed and the quality of the massage and just the whole experience in general. I truly say this because as a business owner myself, there are so many easy things that you can fix to make the customer feel more comfortable.

The booking was easy but the experience was the worst. Danny gave the worst massage I've ever had to pay for. Barely any massage oil used, either too much pressure or no pressure.

While this is happening your front desk and aesthetician were talking loudly and laughing where we could hear their entire conversation. After I had told Danny it was very distracting they stopped for maybe 10-15 minutes then went right back to talking again.

I told her I booked a massage with someone in Redondo and that she has really great reviews. She then goes, "is it Sandy?? She's my go-to for massages!"
