Very relaxing experience and such kind ladies! I was able to call and make an appointment only 30 minutes ahead of time and they still got me in with no problem, which I really appreciated. The place is very clean, peaceful, and welcoming from the moment you walk in. The massage itself was amazing -- they checked in often to make sure the pressure and everything felt comfortable before continuing. I also loved the calming music and the quiet atmosphere with little to no talking, which made it even more relaxing. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I left feeling refreshed and stress-free. I will 100% be coming back and would definitely recommend this place to others! read more

Sweet people! My hubby and I had a reservation for 6pm..... we paid prior for our 90 minute massages...they asked for tip in advance.. we have them $10 each.. so she then told the other guy how much out tip was.. she said wow! Usually folks give &25 each! I got a 45 minute foot, 45 minute back and shoulder only. My hubby wanted a deep tissue... His feedback- the massage was too sold and she never focused on one area.. kind of all over the place My feedback- him doing my feet felt like a child... playing with my feet.. I asked him to do it harder which wasn't helpful. Then he did my full back which I didn't ask for and did my thighs which i didn't ask for. Stuck my back with his elbows through a towel and dug into my spine. Said ouch many times.. they ended both massages early... mine was boring and then painful.. Now it's the next day and my back hurts to touch. read more

I should have read reviews before I walked in. Neither the man or woman understood English. I pointed to the 60 min full body massage but they kept trying to pressure me into getting a combo. I was ready to walk out. Finally the man took me into a private massage room. He was a good masseuse but got too close to private parts. They wanted me to pay cash but I only had enough cash for the massage and a 10% tip which he was upset about so we switched it all to credit card. His $10 tip ended up costing $15 because I had to pay $5 to use my card. It's a scam. I managed merchant charge services in the past and I know she is not getting charged $5 per transactions. I also did not feel like the massage table was clean. read more

Great massage, clean environment, great pressure and relaxing!! Will definitely come here again. read more

See all

Best massage I've ever had! And I've had more than a few. Susan is very experienced and knows just where to apply the deep pressure. I was a mess after a flight to LAX followed by drive to M.B. I feel like a new man now! read more

I wanted to like this place because it looked cute and welcoming at first, but unfortunately the experience did not meet expectations. My boyfriend and I agreed before starting to two 30-minute massages for $100 total, specifically to avoid any confusion. Communication was difficult since no English was spoken, but we did our best to be clear and thought everything was understood. The massages themselves felt very amateur. Neither of us felt relaxed afterward, and we actually left feeling stiff and with back pain, which was disappointing. At the end, we were unexpectedly asked to pay an additional $20 as a mandatory "tip," which was never mentioned beforehand. Tips should never be demanded, especially when the service was subpar. Overall, unclear communication, low-quality service, and unexpected charges made this a frustrating experience. I hope the owners improve transparency and training moving forward. read more

This place is AWFUL Ive been to plenty of "foot massage" massage parlors and normally know what to expect So.. here we go 1. The sign said $30 for 1/2 hours massage. I checked my receipt and was charged $55. She added $5 for using a debit card. 2. She insisted I tip first. 3. The masseuse touched me inappropriately more than once. 4. She gently rubbed sticky cheap lotion on me for half the massage: no pressure or actual technique. 5. She smelled awful and got so close I couldn't avoid the smell 6. The other ladies and screaming back and forth in the background the entire time 7. Wasn't expecting her to touch my read more

Very disappointed. Do not go here. The massage was OK not great. Worse is when I went to pay. I was ready to pay 20% tip on $60 hour massage instead of the standard 10-15%. Masseur was insistent that I pay 33% tip!!! When he finally charged my credit card, he added another $5 claiming there was a credit card service fee. Nothing is posted anywhere to say this... I felt conned. read more

Had a massage with Daniel. It was wonderful. I have horrible neck pain and he was so nice and attentive to my concerns. Thank you and I will def be back to book with Daniel! read more

Very unprofessional place. I got in for a 10 min chair massage while traveling. The massage costs $15, and I was basically told by the male therapist who massaged me at the end that I should give a $5 tip. The massage was OK- chair was uncomfortable which added more tension to my neck. He basically took my $20 bill and said 3 times that the tip was $5. You don't get to say how much your customer gives you as a tip- you welcome them, provide good service, and allow them to make that decision. I tipped him 20% and apparently that still made him mad. read more

Just had a great massage experience at the Monarch Spa. Brought my two older children. Had the combo 60 minute. Highly recommend Daniel. You definitely want to check out this place! read more

First, be prepared for a non English speaking staff and being asked to tip before service -- The massage started off pretty decent -- lots of pressure in the usual spots. No complaints there. But things took an unexpected turn when she massaged my legs and got friendly with my upper thighs. And just when I thought, "Okay, maybe we are done here," she casually pulled my underwear down and gave my butt a full workout. I wasn't sure if I was getting a massage or being prepped for a moon landing. As I am lying there, I am thinking, "Is this still part of the massage or did I signed up for something extra?" To top it off she was leaning over me like we were about to do synchronized yoga. After the massage, I compared notes with my boyfriend, and surprise, surprise--we both got the VIP treatment! Except his was less 'subtle' and more 'Whoa, is this a full-body inspection?' Apparently, there were some... "unchartered territories" she touched. At that point, we started questioning whether we had stumbled into the wrong kind of spa and accidentally booked the 'extra-handsy' package? Or if we just gave off that vibe. read more

I had a wonderful foot massage at Monarch Moon Spa. If I lived in Morro Bay, I would go weekly as it is so affordable and great for plantar fasciitis! read more

Awesome place very professional clean and admirable. Susan and her employees deliver a supreme healing experience. The massage therapy there is one in a billion. It's a place you can escape to. read more

The staff was polite. I wanted to get a facial. They were unable to answer any of my questions due to a language barrier. I opted for the mini facial to try it out. I did not enjoy the facial. I had no idea what she was going to do. I have had many facials and this was super awkward. The steam was hot and in my nose so hard I couldnt breathe. She put a very thick masque on which i was nervous was going in my eyes. Luckily the masque took a while to dry. She had a healing touch and the massage part was pleasant. She tried to sell me on a longer massage which i was willing to do, but then she said ahe was going to send in the other guy and i opted out. I MIGHT try here again foe massage, but not a facial! read more

Great place, thankful they could get me in 30 min foot massages for me and my mom and could not have felt better after

Great service, very friendly. Had a wonderful chair massage with hot stones on a whim while walking by, and If I lived here, I would go back again in a heartbeat. read more

I purchased a gift certificate for a one hour massage for a friend who was retiring. She was retiring from a nursing job. She worked very hard and deserved a great massage. I asked if I could include a tip, but the lady didn't like the tip i added and asked for a larger tip, which I didn't mind doing because I wanted my friend to enjoy the massage without any monetary obligation. Some time later, I spoke to my friend and she said she redeemed the gift certificate. But she did not enjoy the experience. She said they did a rush job on her massage, and it was not relaxing. I'll never give them my business again. read more

Amazing. I saw Susan and she did a great job for an hour foot reflexology. She made me feel comfortable as soon as I walked in and the shop was clean and relaxing. I will definitely come back. read more

I feel so bad leaving a 2 star review. I really wanted this place to be successful! I had a one hour foot massage today, and it was NOT by Susan. I do not know the persons name. She does not speak English. It's very clean, new and decorated lovely! I was frustrated at the lack of English. The massage was OK. You know how a professional can FEEL the tightness and knows how to relieve it? Yea, this lady was clueless. The oil was freezing! Thankfully a warm stone was used. I had already set up an appointment for a week later with my two sisters who were spending a weekend in MB. The day before I called to cancel our appointment. The person answering the phone could not comprehend I wanted to cancel. She went on and on in such broken English, my sisters and I had our jaws on the floor! We could not understand one word! I had to just say Thank you, goodbye. Sorry, this is not a business. read more

Walked in this morning as they have a sign out that says $20/30 min foot massage . No one was at the front desk, but I could hear women arguing in the back. I had to call the front desk from their business card only to have a remote worker answer the call, and then the remote worker called the women in the back to come up front. I asked if they have Apple Pay, they didn't understand and FaceTimed the remote worker to answer my question, and then I went to my car to get cash. From there they asked what package I want and I said the $20/30min foot massage as advertised outside -- they then proceed to show me their group text in all Chinese where $40 is listed. I said wtf you literally have a sign that says $20 outside... then they continued to tell me that it is $40. Excuse me then why advertise "$20/30min foot massage" outside????? Place is SKETCHY!!!! I walked out because the business practice was not right. Based on this interaction, it's my opinion that these people are running some sort of visa operation and use this business to get people visas -- OR they're totally illegal and their bosses use their status as leverage for low pay and protection in the US. This place needs to be investigated. This is not a normally operating business. read more

The massage was good, probably even excellent. However my only complaint is, they don't want an extra tip. They insisted on an extra tip. 25% to be exact. My wife and I paid $180 plus $5 on the credit card and they felt $20 tip was too small. The fact that they insisted on an extra tip kind of ruined the massage experience. read more

Susan and her team did a great job on our couples massage. While most places in Morro Bay don't answer their phone or require scheduling in advance, Monarch has the staff on hand to handle walk-in couples massages. The room was peaceful, the service friendly, and the massage swept my stress away. Great prices too! read more

This is by far the best massage I've ever had in my life. Everything was clean, they had a beautiful, calm, relaxing environment. They easily accommodated all three of us in our party for full body massages at the same time. I highly recommend them. read more

Passed by morro bay last week and made a walk in appointment. The ambience is very nice and the therapist gave me extra time in the end for free. It relieved my muscle knots a lot. read more

Very unprofessional. Not only did I feel violated during my massage but the masseuse was requesting a 20% tip after I heard her tell the previous client there's a 15% tip requirement. I shouldn't have even tipped at all for the uncomfortable massage I received. read more

Great massage. Susan uses heated massage bed and warm oil. Check out the table shower it is awesome. Overall I think Monarch Moon Spa gives the Best Massages on the Central Coast. Always look forward to seeing Susan Because I know I will always feel awesome after her massage read more

Susan is very professional and knows just the right places that require deep tissue massage, she is very considerate about the amount of pressure to use. I try to get in at least once a month. read more

Fantastic massage, attentive and very reasonably priced. Susan was pleasant and worked out my achy back and sore feet. I feel great!

Wonderful relaxing place. I've had numerous massages at this location and anytime you are around Morro Bay I would suggest going there. They offer a very personal touch of gentleness. May the Lord continue to bless you Monarch Moon Spa!! read more

DON'T COME HERE TO GET A MASSAGE. My friend came here to get a RELAXING massage but she was assaulted and the massage therapist kept rubbing her buttocks when she asked to be rubbed and massaged on her shoulder or other appropriate parts of her body and was pushing his private part against her hands and continued even when she would move her hands. Not only is this so unprofessional but it's absolutely DISGUSTING. This is not okay AT ALL. I tried to call the spa and speak to whoever is in charge and they hung up on me, the world is already a sick place and you go somewhere to feel relaxed and can't even do that because you have to worry about getting assaulted now. The man was Asian and tall and very light complexed. It's heart breaking that people have to go through this and deal with someone is who supposed to be consider a professional. I would leave a negative review if I could. read more

I recently went to Monarch moon spa, and Susan greeted me at the door very lovely lady. She was able to squeeze me in for a full body massage with the massage therapist Daniel he was absolutely amazing very kind and caring and listen to my concerns and after my massage, I felt amazing. I will return to give this place 100 stars if it was possible I highly recommend it read more

This is a nice Spa for a massage or other services that they provide. Clean and very NEW inside. The owner did a great job of creating attractive and comfortable treatment rooms. I had a massage on a very comfortable heated table from the owner. Traditional Swedish style with good oil and essential oil. There is a Couples Massage area with Fireplace in wall. She also provides Waxing, Scrub, Table Shower Scrub Massage.... A bit of language difficulty with staff. English not so great, but if you are willing to just say what you are there for they understand. Culturally as well, the gratuity thing is weird. They expect at beginning with payment up front. That's not for me. I did tip for a good job done after the fact. Overall, for what I paid, the facility, the service provided, and wanting to support a business owner who has gone that extra step to provide, I was pleased with my experience. Good +. read more

Great massage clean and knowledgeable deep tissue massage. Very affordable

I have visited this massage spa last week. I got a professional service. Susan's massage skill is perfect. I feel much better about my back pain. I will visit again. Highly recommended. read more
