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.

GETTING HERE: This business is in downtown Santa Paula on Main Street. It is across the street from…read morewhere The Draft at Mupu Grill is located (and the old Garman's). 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.

The massages…read morethemselves were good, I just wish I had enough confidence to have asked my masseuse to put more pressure, but she didn't ask and I was afraid to tell, so that's on me. My husband had never had a massage before and my first and last was 20 years ago, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Things to consider: They had good dark lighting and music to set the mood for relaxation, but you can still hear traffic outside. This didn't bother me, but if you're someone who doesn't want to hear that I recommend earbuds. There's a dispensary downstairs and you can smell it lightly, so if you're sensitive to that be aware you can slightly smell that. Not their fault, just is one of those things. The price is pretty great. I shopped around and I saw how massages can range quite a bit. This was on the lower average scale. After we were done it felt really awkward though because there was no side chat of any kind. It was just okay you owe this much. We paid and I was waiting for a receipt, but she was just like "okay". So, we just sort of turned around to leave. I must have said thank you like 4 times between the end of the massage and paying lol. When we were leaving my husband's masseuse gave us some water and said "have a nice day" and that was the end of our experience. It was all fine, but not overly welcoming. We would totally go back, but I genuinely don't know if they want us to. Haha.

Overall, the experience was unwelcoming and unprofessional. We will not be returning.

I've been waiting for the opportunity to do it since my double lung transplant on April 16, 2023. I feel incredible because I just got my first full body massage and foot massage at a place that's only 2 miles away from our condo! #RelaxFootMassage which evidently used to be called Happy Feet, was spotless, which of course was my main item I was looking for obviously since I'm immunosuppressed. You keep your clothes on, you're in the back where there are multiple beds in there where they keep the lights on dim and lovely spa music playing. Lisa started on my back and yes, she had a very heavy touch which I can't handle at all. I just don't like it because I'm too sensitive. But as soon as I got her to have the right touch for me, it was pure heaven! She asked a few times if I was OK because she knew that when she first started, it was too rough for me. One of the times I realized she woke me up by asking it. Yes, it was THAT incredibly comfortable. I then caught myself once I turned over starting to snore. I woke up to the sound of my own snore! I'm sure I wasn't the only one to ever do that but OY! And I am not the type to be able to just fall asleep wherever I am. I don't even have the ability to sleep on a flight. So you know that this was inCREDible. And then the feet massage... O...M...G!! I've been having a sore right foot right on the bottom of my heel for two months. Although it is still tender, the pain now on it and I asked her to actually focus more on my right heel is nothing like what it has been. I know of course every masseuse has different touches, but I absolutely loved Lisa because now she'll know that I like it much softer. The head massage... Oh, that head massage... I felt like I was in a dream state. And what a way to end my phenomenal experience... They are incredibly honest as well . I didn't have my glasses on yet and when I was paying with my credit card wanting to include my tip on that , because of something I had done, the lady at the desk immediately stopped me from continuing and pointed out what I had written by accident. She could have very easily have left what I had written. I am feeling so relaxed and will enjoy this feeling for as long as I can tonight before my husband and son get back from work, I definitely have found where I will be going perhaps once a month.
