This place is terrible. Ritual Spa is not a spa, it is a room on a busy street in Sausalito located…read moreabove a clothing store and a cafe. We were surprised to discover there were no amenities, no wellness center, no hot tub, no sauna, just a room that reeks of chemical air freshener. (Other yelpers have also noted the stench in this place.) The environment is not relaxing as advertised. Quarters are very cramped. Perhaps most concerningly, while most massage places have allowed us to select our masseuse, Ritual prohibits it. I was required to book via a third-party website and there is no option to select your massage therapist. They just assign you someone. If you want a woman for purposes of safety and comfort, too bad, you get who you get. If you book here you will pay $250 (with taxes, tip etc) for a cheap, oily massage, as I did. According to the menu we were handed, things that are normally included in massages - for example, targeting places of pain - are an extra cost "add on," which is absurd. The massage itself was terrible, we were soaked in oil afterwards and so was our clothing. Pants were ruined. This place is a total rip off. Be wary of anyplace that has many 5 star reviews from "new" yelpers who have never written reviews before. They have no actual details or info and may not be legit. P.S. The owner routinely harasses yelpers who write authentic reviews. (There is no rule that reviews have to be from this week. Nor are yelpers required to disclose the time and date of their visit. That's just creepy. The owner would be wise to heed constructive feedback rather than abusing reviewers.) Skip this place.

Me and my partner booked a couples massage today for our anniversary and came up from San…read moreFrancisco. I'm sad to say that it was incredibly unsatisfactory. We both got swedish massages with medium pressure. The pressure was very light for both of us and it didn't feel like it truly relieved much tension. Neither of us felt very relaxed after the service. However, the biggest thing for me was the sheer amount of oil used. I left with my skin feeling wet and my hair became incredibly oily from all the oil on my shoulders and neck. I want to feel moisturized after a massage but I was literally soaked in oil and I spent the rest of our anniversary with my hair looking practically wet from all of the oil. I went to a nearby cafe and used their sink to wash the oil out of my hair and it was still so oily. I've taken a shower now and I am still oily!! My phone is covered in it too. Lastly, I also got the jet lag eye treatment and it was just a small eye sheet mask for $15. Needless to say, we don't plan to come back. Very sad it didn't work out better.

5 Star Body scrub with Martha!…read more I was looking for a nice spa in Marin to do a body scrub, and this was one of the few places who offer them. While the spa is relatively small, it is cozy and fitting for this great boutique hotel. What really made it amazing though was the service from the technician Martha.

The "spa" is literally the locker room and a steam room plus bathroom stalls and that's it. There are several other day spas in Marin with way better facilities, more diverse services with high availability and set up by comparison. Wouldn't come back here because the price point isn't warranted, felt like a tourist trap.

Robert is, without question, the best massage therapist and bodyworker I have ever seen and I've…read moreseen so many over the years that I've lost count. For more than two years, I lived with chronic sciatic pain every single day. It affected my daily functioning, my energy, and my quality of life. Immediately after my last session with Robert, my sciatic pain was completely gone. Honestly, I kept waiting for it to come back because I couldn't believe it. It's now been three months, and the pain is still gone. Waking up every morning without pain has been life-changing. My quality of life has improved more than I can put into words, and I am incredibly grateful for Robert's skill and care. Also, my work is incredibly demanding, and Robert's treatments are the only thing I've found that can immediately quiet both my body and my nervous system. The stress I carry melts away in session. I walk out feeling grounded, restored, and like myself again. That gift alone is priceless. What sets Robert apart is his presence. He is deeply attuned to what is happening in your body and seems to intuitively know exactly what it needs. It's difficult to explain, but you feel it when you're on his table. Robert has an extraordinary gift, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found him. Thank you, Robert, for giving me my life back. I will never be able to fully express how grateful I am.

Robert asked about my concerns and how my body was feeling. After sharing a few updates with him, he got to work. And, boy, was his work cut out for him! I do weight training (along with yoga), but had recently up leveled my workouts. Robert found those super tight areas and worked them. Not painfully (like other masseuses do), but with a firm, yet gentle, technique. Not once did I grimace or feel uncomfortable. I left on cloud nine with my body feeling healed and rejuvenated. I plan on making Robert my go-to massage therapist going forward. I live in the Tri-Valley and will gladly make the commute for his services.

Found it a little odd that there was a guy in street clothes just working on a laptop in there esp since they say no cell phones. Hot tub is very small but heated pool is nice. Outdoor fireplaces and chairs as well. Reception area isn't confusing like some have mentioned. When you enter, there is a check in desk straight ahead. They DO tell you to bring a swimsuit if you check your voicemail. But also, who doesn't check spa amenities before you go. Tips Signage isn't great - Spa is past the main hotel building (turn right and follow signs to self parking) Make sure you check your locker combo before you lock it. I didn't and then didn't know what it was and had to ask for help. I do think individual keys would be easier just bc I'm the type of person to forget which locker number I am

Unfortunately the matcha was out of stock, but I opted for another green tea and the crab cake. It was raining the day I was there so I didn't end up using the pool. I really like my facial with Ruth. She was amazing and had lovely energy. I would definitely rebook.

My first impression (when she saw me) was that she looked at me in a very closed off way, with no effort to be warm or welcoming. She didn't even greet me by name. Odd to have a masseuse- that can have so much great energy and healing touch- come across as juvenile/stuck up. Also, her massage room is in an office building, and so I overheard people walking down the halls in work conversations. And, some construction in the parking lot could be overheard as well. I've had thousands of massages over the years, and this one really fell short of the bar. Always a bummer when I try someone new to me and have it be a fail.
