We purchased a last minute Travelzoo and were able to make 2 appointments within a couple of hours same day, That was really nice. The spa area before, inside, and in the relaxation room is kind of loud and not "tranquil" but that is our only complaint. The steam room was nice and hot, the rooms were very clean and neat. The amenities were well stocked. Our services (Janos and Yelena(?)) were great! The hot stones and aromatherapy were nice enhancements. The free parking was a nice benefit too! read more

My mom and I spent the day here and had mediocre massages. The pool and steam room was nice, but when it came time to leave we were heavily pressured on shelling out a much higher gratuity than was warranted for the lackluster rub downs we received. My mom is a former massage therapist and knows what a good massage & she did not receive one. When I explained to the woman at checkout that we weren't comfortable with their suggested gratuity, she made us feel uncomfortable and pressured us into leaving over $40 each as a tip. Uhh no. We already overpaid for the lousy massages, there was no way we were overpaying for the gratuity as well. I'm more than happy to pay for quality when it's warranted. This was not. We didn't appreciate the way we were pressured and attempts to make us feel guilty for not overpaying for unimpressive services. Our relaxing day ended awkwardly when we were relentlessly hounded for a few extra bucks at checkout. I chose this spa for the saltwater pool, but I can't see ever returning. Overpriced & underwhelming. read more

Our fave spa ever. It's so relaxing, the staff are accommodating and make you feel at home. You have access to the spa and it's services (sauna, showers, relaxation room, and even access to the outside hotel pool for the day). Our massages have always been nothing short of amazing. I feel rejuvenated and refreshed after a day spent here. Thank you all for always accommodating our couples massages and making it a memorable and relaxing time. read more

The No1DP and I stayed at the Hilton Bayfront late September 2016. This is their hotel spa. It is located on the promenade opposite of Vela. The No1DP knows how much I love my spa sessions. When I first arrived and walked around the hotel I was considering doing a session here but the No1DP, being a sweetie, already scheduled my session to take place after work the day after check-in. Upon check-in, you'll have all-day access to the amenities, namely the gym and the steam room. You'll also have access to a locker that includes a robe and slippers. There's a quite relaxation room further ahead that serves as a reception area for the treatment rooms. No1DP ordered the Traveler's Tonic, which is a customized blend of Swedish and deep tissue. This was quite ideal because my preferences for a massage are deep tissue on shoulders and upper back and firm Swedish elsewhere. A 50 minute is $125 and the 80 minute is $180. No1DP got me the 50 minute, which I chose to upgrade to 80 minute with me covering the difference. Keep in mind that a 20% gratuity is automatically added to all treatments though this can be adjusted if necessary. Before treatment starts you'll be a given a choice of lotions which the masseuse will apply to your body during your session. My masseuse Allison was great. She knew where my pressure points were and focused more time on said points. I could feel the knots untangle as she worked on them. As my work is considered stressful I could feel a noticeable difference of having the stress taken off me. For that entire day I was a lot more at peace with myself. I didn't get a chance to go to the gym but I took advantage of the steam room. It smells strongly of eucalyptus. Though refreshing I could only take a combination of heat and eucalyptus in short bursts. I loved my spa session and I thank the No1DP and Allison for allowing me to experience such a much-needed session! read more

Great service, massage and location! The aromatherapy steam room is the best! Treat yourself here! Got a groupon for it and its great value! read more

What a great spa! I had a mani/pedi with Vanetta (sorry if I butchered the name) yesterday and she was awesome!!! She did a great job and was super fun to talk to. The front desk were very pleasant and helpful. The facilities are very nice with everything you expect from a hotel spa, lockers, showers, sauna, relaxation room with refreshments. Access to the pool is through the spa so it was really easy to jump between the two. Highly recommend! read more

Do they charge extra $20 for using couple room? When I signed for membership, I didn't get any notification or term & policies disclosure...when I see my contract paper for membership, and I did not see any this policy. Is anybody get charged $20 for using couple room ? read more

My wife and I booked this place for our one year wedding anniversary. She wanted a couples massage as her gift so I began to search and compare prices a few weeks ago. Disclaimer: This was my first massage. I found this place through searching and noticed their prices to be on par or below other top rated San Diego spas. I was looking for a special couples feel for a reasonable price and this place was closest to the mark. The woman I talked on the phone with was kind and honest. We arrived a few minutes before our 130 P.M. appointment. I booked the couples' soak with chocolate strawberries (No champagne anymore...womp womp....). The soak room was very intimate and very soothing. The tub, strawberries, bubbles and steam were not only soothing, but incredibly romantic. My wife loved it. The 20 minutes went by fast. After we got with our respective massage therapists. they told use to choose from six massage oils before talking about problem areas. After they got to work. My therapist (Bree? Yeah, Bree.) did a wonderful job taking me through my first 50 minute massage. Definetely worked my tension and problem areas out. After my wife and I went back to our respective locker rooms. A quick visit to the steam room, a shower and we were out of there. They include 20% gratuity into your final bill which was fine by me since I am terrible and awkward at that sort of stuff. 400 bucks later my wife and I were out feeling great. I am still not much of a massage guy but that was not their fault, guess i'm just weird. My wife was head over heels for this place and will probably be back. All in all, great romantic experience. Pro Tips: -Park in next door structure and bring in your ticket for three hour free validation. -Make sure to show up like 20 minutes early to get changed and ready without feeling rushed. -They are very professional about privacy and modesty so no worries there. -You can use the steam room, pool and exercise room as much as you want after your treatment, so plan accordingly. read more

It might have been a full moon but I hit the lottery that day. I had The nicest front desk person check me in. Facial so great, thorough ! Massage wonderful! Body scrub beyond amazing!! Mani, pedi woot woot! Had such great conversation with the nail person. I forget all the names but everyone I met was so kind and friendly. Bring your own shoes, the sandals are the worst. I am booking my next visit as we speak. You can order wine for a fee. Everyone made such an effort to pamper me. Only issue I have is after 500$ in services I had to pay for parking I was told it would be comped. read more

San Diego locals be advised there is the best staycation spa deal waiting to be discovered. You are pampered and treated like a VIP the moment you enter the parking garage. The staff is cordial, friendly, accomodating and hospitable. You have full access to the all the facilities with any spa appointment. The relaxation room, steam room, pool are extra bonus for Sunday - big screen TV to watch football under the blue sky and palm trees. You feel like a high roller celebrity for pennies. Danielle our server was super sweet and made sure we had the best service possible. The turkey wrap sandwich and bloody mary's were delicious. Marcia was my esthetician and Stephan my masseuse. Each service was ultra pampering, relaxing and enjoyable. You have no choice but to unwind, relax, and melt away your worries. A tip that October 10th-14th is spa week in which amazing deals!!!!!! We are making girls spa day a mandatory routine. read more

Loved it. A nice spa with great amenities and NONE of that attitude to be found at other spas (Morgan Run, I'm talking to you) I went with a friend and we booked facials and massages. We enjoyed their lounge; I flipped through a National Geographic (a nice change from US Weekly, wouldn't you say?) until I got my massage, which was solid. [Sometimes a masseuse will be 5'2 but have the power of a 300 pound man, despite your requests otherwise. It was delightful to leave a massage NOT battered and bruised!] The facial was fantastic. My skin felt great and this is the FIRST time I have bought product from a service and it was as good as expected (the lip stuff. Seriously. Get it). I might have relaxed so much I fell asleep (obviously I relaxed so much that I didn't even get her name). Sorry facial lady, thanks for making me look good! The girls at the spa were all friendly, the steam room is the best I've been to, and if I'd had more time the gym facilities looked great too. Next time I will try to stay longer and indulge even more, make a day of it, have some drinks on the balcony over the beautiful harbor view, etc. You should too! read more

This review is only for the day pass for the gym/pool/spa facilities. Their gym is pretty nice for travelers, with a personal tv for each cardio machine and water and towels available. Their pool area is spacious, with plenty of places to lay out, or play in the water. There was a fine mixture of families and adult guests, mostly young adults. I also love their track that I see people jogging around. Best part was laying out toward the water front. Worst part was how chilly SD gets, so hope you can catch the warmer part of the day when you go! Spa: - large steam room - oddly shaped facility so masseuses are constantly walking by as you do your business. - nice smelly toiletries available - standard towel and robe available - lounge room has complimentary water and munchies available - love their lavender infused towelettes! My only complaint? While the spa itself is small, I was doing my business and their front desk was training someone. No problem, but they managed to make their way through the locker section, which is cramped already, continued with their full training and had no problem climbing over my embarrassed body. Maybe you can possibly do it another time, not when your only guest is trying to cover up her sweaty mess. Hotel guest: $10 Regular day pass: $25 read more

I came here recently with some friends. We were taking out our bride-to-be friend for a pre-wedding relaxation day. Two of us were going to use TravelZoo vouchers and the rest were going to use buy the day pass and just use the amenities. Some lessons we learned: -The TravelZoo voucher is not really valid on Sundays even though it says valid Sunday-Thursday. We had to get "special" approval from a manager to book our appointments on Sundays. That was strange and felt wrong. If the fine print says it's valid on Sundays, you shouldn't have to get approval to use it on that day. That was strike one. -When we arrived we were given a small lecture that day passes were limited. A piece of information that isn't posted on their website. We eventually were able to purchase them for the rest of the group, but it seemed like they were given begrudgingly? Thankfully we were able to purchase them, otherwise the spa day would've been :( On the positive side, the facility is in great condition even if it is small, and the massage was fantastic! I would only go back to get a massage, but I wouldn't hold another spa day here with my friends. read more

Stayed at the Hilton Bayfront for a staycation w/ my girl cousin. We decided to spoil ourselves and go all out! Both of us got the spa package that included a hot stone massage, custom facial, manicure, and pedicure. Hot stone massage: TO DIE FOR! The best 80 minutes in my life, not even an exaggeration! Facial: The massage on my face/shoulders were relaxing, but the extractions were painful.. My esthetician was set on getting a stubborn white head i have on the side of my nose. She spent a minimum of 5 minutes trying to extract it and that was a painful 5 minutes.. Mani/Pedi: If I could go back.. I would have opted out of this. I'm sorry, but there was nothing relaxing about it. The two ladies that were working in the nail area were nice as people, but they were very chatty with each other. Some of the conversation was uncomfortable. I also think that the price is way too much for a simple mani/pedi, which is what I got. Massage to my hands or feet were lacking. The end result wasn't even anything great.. The polish was applied looking like my nails have already grown showing a bit of the "moon" part of my nail showing. I'm sorry, but I will leave my nail care needs to the my usual Asian salons in National City and Chula Vista. They're quiet, effective, and if they do say something, it's in a language I do not understand and don't need to know the content of their brisk conversation. All negative parts aside, I would still come back. The spa itself was that good. Steam room, cucumber water/teas/coffee/champagne/amenities offered. Overall staff was friendly. Relaxation room was tranquil. It is very expensive, but I can see why. I just wish I could afford to come here more often. read more

This rating only applies to the facilities, not the massage itself (my massage was 5 stars, and one of the best I've ever had, as Josh was so kind and attentive). However, when I tried to enjoy the steam room after my treatment, a man followed me in and began masturbating! I was so disgusted and afraid, but I calmly walked out. As I walked, I kept my fists clenched, fearing that I was going to be forced to stay and would need to fight. I quickly dressed and alerted the staff. I got a mediocre apology, and then paid my $200 for the massage. I will never return to this place!!! read more

The Mr. and I decided to take advantage of Spa Week and try out Spa Aquazul. It was the right choice! Thanks to all the Yelp tips, we decided to self-park and get the 3 hours for free with validation (thanks fellow Yelpers!). Upon arrival, we got a brief tour of the spa, how to get to the gym and the pool and were shown our lockers. The men and women's areas are separate, including steam rooms and lockers (obviously). We ended up texting each other to meet after our massages and it worked out fine. Now for the meat and potatoes of the review (yummmm, meat and potatoes....): the Traveler's Tonic massage was fantasmic. I had an Asian masseuse named Eileen (Ellen?) and she did a wonderful job. The heated table was the perfect temperature, she continued to ask how the pressure was throughout the massage and asked about my focus areas (neck, shoulders, lower back), which she spent plenty of time working on. She didn't talk me up, just questioned me when necessary and it was a nice and relaxing experience. I also took advantage of the steam room, which was great. There was a minty smell (Eucalyptus?) and even quiet music. I wonder how they keep their speakers waterproof....? The pool outside is nice - although I thought it was heated, but when we dipped out feet in, it was pretty cold. Overall, a very good experience and I would highly recommend it. Check them out - especially if you can take advantage of Spa week, it's a steal!! read more

This spa has been newly renovated and I was very impressed. The ladies at the front desk were very friendly and informative. Darwin gave me one of the best massages I've ever had... would definitely recommend! read more

I recently got a Rapid Results 25 min. massage from Carly. She was great and very attentive. It was just the right amount of pressure. She also gave me good advice on where my neck pain is coming from. The spa itself is a bit pricey, ($65 for a 25 min massage) but it's located inside a lovely hotel, so that's expected. You get a robe, sandals, a locker that's locked by a digital code, access to the sauna, showers, and "relaxation room" which is filled with spa water, trail mix, fruit and some tea (although the tea machine was broken when I went). You also have access to the pool, which is shared by the entire hotel, and the jacuzzi. Special perks: you get to pick the music you'd like to hear in the room, and your massage oil (I picked Mandarin). Overall, enjoyable, and a great staycation. read more

For our anniversary, my boyfriend and I stayed at the Hilton Bayfront and decided to treat ourselves to some spa treatments at Aquazul. We booked our appointments in advance, and the receptionist who helped me was friendly and even recommended some treatments specifically for my problem areas (lower back sensitivity) and also for my boyfriend. First off, the ambience of the spa is so relaxing, the music and design go along with the ocean theme that the entire hotel embodies. It set the perfect mood for our tranquil evening. The waiting room was clean with nice low lighting. They offered refreshing cucumber infused water and also some light snacks. We got a couples massages and then I indulged in an additional facial. I was really charmed that they brought champaigne and chocolate strawberries for us :) The massage itself was phenomenal! The massage therapist was extremely professional and the entire massage was bliss. I also got the radiant glow facial which was so gentle and soothing, I almost fell asleep! Aquazul was the perfect escape that my boyfriend and I have been dying to get for the longest time! I would definitely recommend this spa for anyone who desires a little pampering. read more

As a local, I've been looking for a great place to go and relax and I think I've found it. I booked a spa pedicure, which happened to be the months special so I got it for $65 instead if the standard $85, which was a nice surprise. My pedicure was about 20 minutes late which was a down fall but not the end if the world. I had arrived 30 min early to change into a robe and realized I was relaxing a lot longer than anticipating and there were no magazines or anything in the relaxation room. BUT. The relaxation room was relaxing with muted blue lights, light snacks and a blueberry infused tea. My pedicure was nice and the service was great. I went to the pool after and relaxed which was really nice and ordered a few drinks, try the specialty, "pear pama press"!. Went back for a steam and nice shower, I had checked in on Yelp and they offer a free glass of bubbly and I asked about this in my check out. The girl said they can't serve alcohol in the Spa, but if I wanted to hang out by the pool she'd bring it out to me. I've ordered lunch, ate and paid and still no girl! I'd rather not wait around longer than an hour for a free $2 glass of sparkling wine. The false advertising brings my rating down, but I hope my next experience is better bc the spa itself was great! read more

Before moving to San Diego I stayed at this hotel which was great in every way. One notable part of the hotel was my visit to this spa. It was the most relaxed I had been in weeks. I fell asleep during both my facial and massage. I even got a happy ending.Haha no not a real one... but my massage therapist was very hot, and I actually got her number after chatting her up a bit after the service while waiting for the facial. Scoresies! I can't wait till I have the time and the extra funds to go back. Only reason it does not get a 5th star is because the receptionist was kind of a ditz and screwed up my appointment. read more

Phenomenal staff, awesome ambiance and great overall experience! First off a huge kudos to the staff of this spa. Whoever trained this team or runs this spa did a superb job. My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate his 25th birthday a few days ago. I called a few days ahead to inquire about availability and packages and got so much help I was sold on the place before I even hung up. When she said they took Spa Finder AND that they had a gift card promo going (by $50 it's worth $85) I was stoked. I let her know that I was prepared to spend up to $300 (out of pocket) on the day. She helped me maximize the locals (20%!!!!) and gift card discounts and booked our appointments so that we be done by 4 PM - FRIGGIN AWESOME! When we arrived we were greeted immediately by the Spa's Manager. She explained how everything was going to work to us and the personally escorted me to the locker room - giving us time to talk payment away from the birthday boy. She came back with an itemized list showing me two different options for payment. When all was said and done she got me out the door at $239 out of pocket and $275 in Spa Finder. For those without calculators that's $257 per person (total - including tip) for 3 hours worth of services - FLIPPIN' SWEET! All the services we received were excellent (massage, facial, pedicure and couple's soak). The BF says the facial was his favorite part of the day and he wants to go back The facility day use fee is $10 and that gets you into the hotels heated swimming pool (that plays underwater music AND has a huge jumbotron), gym (with exercise classes) and use of the locker room and spa lounge (that has nuts and dried fruits as well as teas and cucumber water). BONUS - fluffy towels galore AND eucalyptus steam grotto that has cucumber infused frozen wash cloths at the door. Disneyland is no longer my happiest place on Earth! read more

Today I gave Spa Aquazul another chance and I'm really glad I did!! After my original post, I was immediately contacted by the spa manager- she was apologetic and very concerned about my experience. I was impressed that the spa reads their Yelp! reviews and reaches out to customers who haven't had a good experiences. As a result, I decided to try the spa again (other people seem to have had 4-5 star experiences there so why not, right?) My friend and I booked appointments (a facial and massage) and from start to finish it was a fantastic! I'll admit, in spite of the kind email I received from the manager, I was somewhat apprehensive about returning to the spa but I quickly saw that my experience was most likely a VERY isolated incident and not a reflection of what people typically experience at Spa Aquazul. We left with glowing skin and feeling completely relaxed. The entire staff was friendly and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and welcome. I'll definitely be going back!! read more

I spent the weekend in San Diego for my girlfriend's bachlorette celebration and we decided to end our trip at Eforea Spa in Hilton SD Bayfront. We were greeted by Kysten, a lovely lady with a sincere welcoming nature about her. She gave us a tour, answered our questions and was very friendly. After enjoying the spa and pool, we relaxed in the steam room with cucumbers and cold towels on our eyes. Then we made our way to zen waiting room and our masseuses lead us to our private rooms. Janos provided my massage and I was so relaxed that I found myself dozing off a bit. The bride to be received a massage by Yelena and she was extremely satisfied by her services. After our massages we enjoyed some tea in the waiting room, showered and got ready for the rest of our day. Eforea provided all the essentials we needed to freshen up: mouth wash, deodorant, blow dry, combs, hair spray, etc. The aroma therapy scents are pleasant and I regret not buying the "Sun" perfume. I sprayed some on before I left and it lasted all day! All the facilities were very clean and I will definitely visit Eforea Spa again. Every element of our experience wrapped up our bachlorette weekend PERFECTLY! read more

I went in for a 50 min. massage and manicure and had a great experience. The massage in particular was fantastic - the best one I've had in a long while. I'm sorry to say that I don't recall the therapist's name, so apologies. It was a woman, and I will just refer to her as "miracle worker". Nail service was fine, nothing unexpected. I fell in love with the Zents products they carry and actually tracked down a store in Old Town that sells them (Summers Past Farms & Ye Olde Soap Shoppe). The shop in Old Town was more expensive though, so if they have something you like at Aquazul, get it there. read more

This review is strictly for the fitness center at Spa Aquazul: Really disappointing...my main problem was that there was a charge to use the "fitness center", even for hotel guests. While I'm not opposed to being charged the fee, which many hotels do, I just feel that if you do charge a fee, it should be pretty nice facilitates and these facilitates were below average. Don't get me wrong - the room itself is fairly spacious and everything looked to be fairly new, but it was the variety of equipment that bothered me. There were about 12-15 elliptical trainers (good) and 4 small exercise machines and one small and light set of free weights (not good). I almost asked if there was another room were the rest of the equipment was stored - that really isn't enough. While I liked all the elliptical/cardio machines, a fitness center (if that's what you're going to call it) needs to have a decent variety of work-out equipment and this place did not have that and should not charge hotel guests for limited equipment. It's a nice 4-star hotel with a two-star hotel facility and that's disappointing. read more

I have to say I am blown away by the experience I had today at Eforea Spa today. I am a downtown SD resident and finally made the decision to try out the amenities at the Hilton Bay Front. The moment I waked in I was greeted by the glowing smiles of the front desk staff. I had booked an appointment in advance and expected the normal proceedings but was taken back at the friendly front desk (Shannon I believe was her name) as they advised me on how to customize my massage. From the music to the choices in aromatherapy this was far above the treatment you get at one of this chain massage spas. I was taken back to the relaxation room where I did just that! The calming sound of the virtual fish tank put me at ease before my massage. I was then greeted by Bree, my therapist, and she took me to the treatment room. During my massage she found knots I never knew I had and worked them out in a way that was pleasant and didn't make my teeth clench! A true professional! When I was finished was given the option to relax in the amazing steam room, which I did. I wasn't rushed out which was nice and I lounged for a bit. Upon check out I was greeted by Bianca, the Spa Director, who personally thanked me for trying out the spa! (What a classy touch!) I will certainly be back! read more

Friendly spa, clean spa, and great masseuses!

Fantastic gym for a hotel. The machines are all new and have TVs in them which is great. There are big windows that let in a lot of natural light, and there is good air circulation which can be a problem in smaller gyms. My favorite part was definitely the cold water dispenser and cooler with chilled towels. Great touch! read more

What a treat!! This spa is AMAZING!! Husband treated me to a couples massage for valentines day that came complete with a sugar scrub, 50 minute massage, and champagne! I love that you can select any genre of music to unwind with- no ipod required if you're like me and have to hear your own tunes! Aromatherapy anyone? Yeah- again it's customers choice and they had so many nostril pleasing scents it was hard to pick one! The staff was so attentive from the second we stepped in the door until we left. My skin is silky smooth and all my knots are out! Definitely saving my extra dough for more escapes like this!!! read more

See all

Details: the spa is pretty small. there's only a wet sauna in the locker rooms, and, there's a cool little lounge area to hang before and after a treatment. Its does have a gym where you could totally get your "pre-meetings business trip" sweat on if that's why you were staying there. Bummers: Attitude and Non-Exclusive 1) The receptionist at the spa's welcome desk had an attitude problem, which is always awesome .. you come to detach and get away from work stresses, and you are thrust into this person's issues while you are interacting with them. Hopefully this was an isolated incident and not what you should expect. 2) The pool and hot tubs are shared with the entire hotel, no "spa only" areas to chill in which were not overrun with 5-10 year olds darting around at your shins like human BB's. Enjoyers: New Spot and GREAT Masseuse 1) the place is newer, so thats cool. 2) The massage therapist was really good! Very skilled in her modality of deep tissue and athletic massage. 5 Stars for the actual work that got done in the treatment! 2) the bar at the pool was cool, but again, the bartender had an attitude problem (You gotta wonder where all that is coming from? usually a lack of leadership in the management ranks when that shows up all in the staff). read more

I got ahold of this gem through a gift certificate on cloud 9 living .com. I was literally on it while my services were being done! I never wanted to leave. My package was an upper bod massage, facial & pedi. From start to finish I was completely relaxed. I had a male masseuse and loved my two girls during the other two heavenly experiences. I would recommend this place to anyone locally or visiting. It's a perfect getaway from work life and it's close to public transit. read more

Eforea Spa - View from the pool you get access to ! Perfect - Day Spas Near Me - San Diego, California

I gave this amazing spa 4 out of 5 stars only because there was not a dry sauna and indoor whirpool spa like some other hotels have. FIVE STARS for the actual MASSAGE! My service was a Pea in the Pod prenatal massage by Bree. I was booked for the last massage of the day at 7pm so I'm sure she was tired, but she never showed it! Bree was absolutely outstanding and sweet. Her technique was perfect. I am a massage and spa junkie so I am very picky about my massages. 60% of the massages I get are not up to par with what I am hoping for, even at the best destination spas I have been to. She was one of the best massage therapists I have had in years! You get to chose the music they play during your massage and the scent for the aromatherapy if you like that.( I chose Earth scent which I loved.) I have to also give a big compliment to Ashley (massage therapist) who was giving complimentary chair massages in the lobby. I got a 5 min massage which convinced me that I needed to book a full massage that day!!! The front desk/receptionist was very friendly and since I am pregnant, she got me a nice plush robe because they had lighter (Summer weight) thin robes in the lockers. I got there for the last appointment so I didn't get to enjoy all the amenities but I am looking forward to returning there on my next vacation at this Hilton. read more

This is one of my favorite spas in san diego. The facilities are really nice - I cannot stand paying hundreds of dollars for spa services around san diego - and then not having nice facilities to make a day out of it. I love to make a whole afternoon out of this place. Get a massage, relax and read magazines, steam, sauna, gym, and awesome pool area. I have not been to the new pool yet but cannot wait. I usually get the travelers tonic massage and I have always had great experiences. I also love the facial line from Image - they have a great acne line. Highly recommend. Everyone is really nice there too. read more

I gave my boss a gift certificate for the spa for her birthday. She raved about the quality of the massage and the service she received. I've been there to use the spa facilities myself, and I can vouch for the friendly, professional manner of the staff. I'd never been to a spa before, and the Manager, Jennifer Linder, was happy to show me around and answer all of my questions. I'd recommend Spa Aquazul to anyone. read more

Not only is this an AMAZING HOTEL, but it has a spa!!! Definitely treat yourself to this spa, look out for the specials, the staff is awesome.... If I haven't said this before, this is a GREAT HOTEL!!! Parking is little expensive, but just look for deals.... read more

After a subpar first experience, the spa offered a complimentary service as their aim to please. My boyfriend had a massage and said that the service was fantastic and the spa's new renovation made for a much improved experience. Thank you Spa Aquazul for making this right for him! read more

We recently visited this spa for two "travelers tonic" massages and we couldn't have been happier. The place is clean tidy and has everything you may need. The massages by Darwin and Janos were some of the BEST massages we have ever had. They were extremely accommodating for my allergies and were able to pin point problem areas with ease. After the steam room and shower with eucalyptus was an enhancing touch to the calm serene experience! Definitely would recommend and visit again! read more

The Hilton San Diego Bayfront has a spa tucked away on the first floor named Aquazul. Yesterday I enjoyed a massage but today, well today I experienced the best facial of my life by Zara. She was a little diamond with amazing experience and products. This is a must do facial (mine was anti aging focus). You will not be disappointed! read more

The spa and atmosphere were all very nice. Just what I expect out of a spa. It was clean and very well maintained, staff was all very friendly. Where I have the issue was with my massage therapist. She was extremely friendly, and made me feel very welcomed, she just didn't seem to have the experience of a seasoned massage therapist. She seemed very young, and possibly fresh from massage school. The massage was just...ok. I would compare it to getting a really good massage from your girlfriend, not a professional licensed message therapist. I have no doubt she has great potential, but on this visit, it just wasn't there. Great facilities, not a great massage! read more
