REVIEW: I was finishing up at Firehouse Subs and knew it was time for some self-care. First timer here and it was a fine enough visit. It was a basic experience. I opted for a foot massage and it was just OK. I see the many 5 star reviews here and am not sure what I missed, but I probably won't be back for a second visit, just for me personally. I was greeted after a moment or two; I asked about the pricing for the foot massages, and then a gentleman gave me the most basic foot massage. I should have spoken up, but he was rubbing my feet as compared to massaging them. If you're in the area, give them a try. You might have a more memorable experience than I did.

I had not seen here in a couple of years after she stop working at a massage place that we used to go to. It seems Sunny has opened her own spa. She gave me her card, I called the same day, and had a massage. It was really excellent. She uses Chinese techniques which I prefer over the typical American massage. Th room was quiet and very comfortable, Sunny has an excellent massage table. Sunny is a very sweet woman, I totally recommend you give her a try. Call ahead as she says she's been pretty busy.

I was beat, tired muscles and had knots in my lower back and thought I'll check into my hotel then check out Yelp for a local massage. Sunflower Spa had good reviews so I gave a call and booked an hour. Sunny greeted me into her lovely reception area -- decorated with art work and sunflower and tiger collectables everywhere -- this you have to see! There is a hot shower and two rooms. One smaller room with the ceiling poles for back walking and the main massage room which was warm and handsomely decorated with paintings and spiritual artwork. It felt cozy and private. Soft Asian instrumental music was playing. I asked for "strong" and pointed to two areas in my lower back when she started. Occasionally, Sunny would ask if the pressure was okay and if I was okay -- it was perfect! Sunny has a friendly, calming, happy spirit with excellent therapeutic skills. She found a knot near my left shoulder blade and gave it attention. No pain, no gain. It's all worth it in the end! I enjoyed the hot towel afterwards too. She gently brushed it on my back, her way of telling me that she's about to put a hot towel, and then placed it on. I loved how she used the hot heat from the towel to massage my neck and shoulders! Then, she continued to wipe/massage the oil/lotion off. After the massage was over, I got dressed and came back to the decorative reception area. There she gave me a cool water drink to rehydrate. She offered green tea too. I felt so relaxed, my knots were gone and glad I had found a good, honest massage experience in Ventura. The deep tissue work was exactly what I needed. Sunny's generous and professional work on my back and neck deserved my generous tip. I left feeling super relaxed and at ease -- and slept the night through. Next day, I continued to feel the benefit of her work. Can't wait to go back and intend to make this a regular monthly visit. Chances are, when in Ventura, you'll fall in love with Sunny at Sunflower Spa and see it for the true gem it is! Jon Newman

5 Stars Impressive bodywork, thoughtful attention to detail,…read moreand prices you can't beat. Bamboo Creek Chinese Spa in Santa Paula just became my non-negotiable monthly reset. I've had massages all over -- from Los Angeles to high-end spas -- and this experience exceeded all expectations. I booked a combination session: deep tissue, hot stone, reflexology, and lymphatic -- and the attention to detail in every single modality was incredible. * Deep tissue: They worked with focused intensity, not just "pressing hard" but skillfully targeting the exact areas where tension lived -- especially in my back, shoulders, and neck. You could tell the therapist knew the body's anatomy and how to unlock muscle groups with precision. * Reflexology: This wasn't a generic foot rub -- this was intentional pressure point work that followed the full reflex map. I could literally feel the connection from my feet to other parts of my body. * Lymphatic massage: Gentle, rhythmic movements that supported circulation and detox. It's something so many of us overlook, but they made it part of the healing experience seamlessly. I also found out they offer cupping, and I'll absolutely be trying that next time. It's rare to find a location that integrates so many modalities at this level of skill -- and especially at these prices. I've posted a photo of the updated price sheet -- and trust me, you won't find rates like this in LA or any luxury spa. It's affordable, consistent, and you walk away feeling like your entire body has been rebalanced. Another standout detail? When you check in, they let you customize the session based on your needs and pressure preference. I chose a level 4-5, knowing I needed deeper work (especially with fibromyalgia), and while I'll likely be sore tomorrow, I feel 100% better already. Bonus: They also have a sister location in Ojai -- so even if you're traveling nearby, you have options. This place is a hidden gem, and I'm so incredibly grateful to have it right here in Santa Paula. If you're ready to take your self-care seriously, this is where you start.

REVIEW: This is a rough update to write and I have been sitting on it for a little bit. First and foremost, even with c 19 and the whole "not using cash as much" thing, Bamboo Creek Spa prefers cash. I get it. But, sadly I didn't have cash on me at this time. Their sign that states the $2 fee for credit card use had fallen down near the check-out. I didn't know/nor did I expect the $2 fee. Honestly, I would have come back another day with cash had I known what I was going to experience after the massage. Massage was OK. Good, I guess. Huge language barrier unfortunately, so when I asked the woman for lighter pressure, she didn't appear to understand what I asked for and continued w/out a change. I asked her again a 2nd time for lighter pressure (I used a hand gesture hoping that would work) and it did. But, then she eased up too much and she was only lightly rubbing my feet with her fingertips. Meh. Had there not been such an issue with a language barrier I probably could have rated 4 stars. At checkout is where things went south. I was prepared, and expected to pay with my card and was going to tip her in cash. When the lady was about to ring me up she then included the $2 service charge, to my shock. (Now, I get the whole thing. This is not a place to argue discuss the sad state of our present world. My issue and great concern is that I was not told or informed a head of time about it.) This lady called for another employee and they began talking in their native language. The 2nd lady then took over my transaction and I felt bullied and attacked for my financial choice of how I wanted to proceed with payment once I was aware of the $2 service fee. It was a pretty good massage, otherwise.
