I get massages pretty regularly (refuge, Monterey plaza etc), and this was one of the best I've had. Adrian had that perfect balance of pressure--strong enough to actually make a difference, but never crossing the line. He checked in a couple times without breaking the flow, and targeted the areas that have been tight. Easily a 10/10 and I'll definitely be booking with him again. As for the facilities, the staff were super welcoming and professional and everything was insanely clean/well maintained. My wife had a massage at the same time and her experience was the same. It's great to have a place in Santa Cruz at this level as I'm over driving to Monterey/Carmel for an amazing massage.

Terrible experience. They cannot communicate, they are rude. The massage was extremely rough…read more Almost as if the massage therapist was angry. The sheets looked so old, I wondered if they washed them. Even if they did washroom, they still looked awful. I had second thoughts the moment I walked in, but was in a bit of a desperate situation with my shoulder. You almost get this feeling that this is a human trafficking situation, and that the people that work there are forced to work there. I seriously wonder if that's the case.

No mood lighting, aromatherapy or anything to help the vibe in this rotten place. The massage was honestly terrible. I was never able to relax. Just kept wondering when it would be over so I could put my clothes back on and gtf outa there. So awkward. My friend and I always have a good laugh when we talk about our experience here.

Most of the time she used no pressure and just grazed her hands over me, i dont actually know how someone could give a massage that felt so bad no only was it extremely light pressure somehow it was painful. She would be tugging and knocking and all sorts of things to compensate for the no pressure. It also felt like her hands were just going over my body no finger work or skill al. Also both me and my friend felt like the next day we felt worse than before our massage, back/neck pain wise like they used very improper technique The worst part: what completely took me out of spa mode. I tipped 20% and they demanded i tip more, it was very awkward and uncomfortable and i felt pressured to tip more even though we hated our massage.

Came here to celebrate my birthday with friends, but unfortunately had a really negative…read moreexperience. We booked the outdoor tub/ sauna room, as well as two massages. We hit a lot of traffic coming down from the Bay Area and were unfortunately running late to our massage appointments. While we understood that we couldn't expect our massages to be the full time as they were scheduled for appointments right after ours, we were still hoping to redeem part of our massage. Sammy who works at the front desk was especially poor in her customer service. ***Just an FYI (as it is not listed anywhere on their website or told over the phone when booking appointments as this is their only method of accepting appointments) the cancellation/ re-booking fee for a 50-minute massage is $100 (the full price of the massage is $125). We arrived 30 mins late to our appointments and they informed us that the massages would have been wrapping up around then so we weren't given the opportunity to squeeze in 20 minutes of a massage and were charged the $200 for the cancellation fee. Again, we understood that this is a small business and that we paid for the time that the masseuse was available, but the staff was extremely rude and unaccommodating. My friend had asked if we could reschedule one of the massages to an available slot that day, at 5pm, as she wanted to make sure I had a nice birthday experience but they informed us that that would also be a $100 charge. Overall to the staff at Well Within, I highly encourage you to post cancellation and re-scheduling fees on your website and update clear policies as I was unable to see any of this in writing. Unfortunately we will not be coming back, though there are a multitude of other wonderful spas in the area. Tea House is one of them!

It smelled so good when I walked in and the gals at the front desk were very nice. When I filled out my new client form I got to sit in the cute waiting room. Afterwards I was able to pick out the different combinations of scents to go into my lotion. I chose to have Lisa do my massage. I got the 80 minute 5 senses massage. Lisa had great reviews, so I felt like I would be in good hands. She made sure my bed was nice and warm when I first laid down. She was very thorough asking about the sort of pressure I needed and any additional special requests. I have really bad knees, so she worked around them and her pressure was just perfect with all of the areas she massaged. I loved getting my hands and feet wrapped and the heated neck rest was really a nice touch. I walked out of there feeling like I was on a cloud. Lisa is the best! I'll definitely be back.

What worked: --the prices were extremely reasonable. I haven't seen a spa that can compete with the massage prices here -- no appointment was needed, I was able to just walk in on a Saturday -- most of the massage was really pleasant. I loved the hot rocks that they used and the leg and foot part of the massage was so nice, I could've fallen asleep during it -- the masseuse checked in two or three times to make sure I was alright with the pressure which I appreciated -- the room felt clean and private. Nice and warm, too -- I never felt over-exposed. The masseuse was great about keeping my body covered with a sheet when she wasn't actively massaging that spot. She also held the sheet up for me when I turned my body which added to the feeling of modesty/coverage What didn't work: -- this was my first massage so I didn't know what to expect. The masseuse didnt tell me how much to undress (I had to guess and hope it was okay) or ask any questions about areas that I'd like the massage focused on/areas that might be sensitive. Not a big deal but something that first timers should be aware of -- The masseuse was strong!! The pressure was intense and sometimes painful, but she reduced her pressure when I asked. I think someone who likes firm pressure or who has a lot of tension would really benefit! Overall, I had a positive experience and I'd go again now that I know what to expect. I think they may need to give a little more info or prep for first-timers but someone who knows what they want from a massage will have an awesome time here. The price and quality of the massage really make this place stand out as a top choice for me.
