Not only is the location beautiful and historic, but the new hotel (in which this spa is located) is also gorgeous and fits in perfectly with the SJC ambiance and architecture. Inside the spa, they first offered us some delicious watermelon water! So refreshing on a 90F summer day!! The owner and staff were very friendly and relaxed. They escorted us to the changing room, which was immaculately clean and included a shower, restroom, sink & a steam room (also very clean. Not a speck of mold in sight! ) My mom got the 50 minute oxygen facial in one room while I got a 50 minute prenatal massage in another. Afterwards, my mom couldn't stop raving about how bright and refreshed her skin felt. Since she lives nearby, she's hoping they make some sort of club or membership so she can join and go a lot more often for facials. I noticed some of her sun spots were noticeably lighter after her facial too. My prenatal massage was amazing!! Even though I'm on my 4th pregnancy, this is the first prenatal massage I've ever received. I might be addicted! Mikki has magic hands, and clearly her 30 years of experience has made her an expert on the pregnant female body. I thought my legs were getting too chubby this pregnancy (more than my previous pregnancies). Nope, turns out I'm just lacking prenatal massages lol. My legs were so slim the whole rest of the day, and they didn't ache at all like when I first arrived. I felt revitalized walking out of that massage! It was amazing! I didn't even feel like I was pregnant haha. Mikki has such a sweet, calming demeanor. It was very easy for me to relax and recharge. I'd highly recommend her services. The Spa also has a great location right in the heart of downtown SJC. My mom and I took a short walk to lunch afterwards. It was a great afternoon. I can't wait for my next visit to The Spa At The Mission!

Tina was also attentive throughout my spa day, encouraging me to stay and relax a while after my massage. Lynette was my masseuse and she knows what she is doing!

I told her I'd been dealing with shooting pain down my right leg for two days, and she knew exactly which service would help. I went with the hot stone deep tissue massage. Lyly was my therapist and she was excellent. She's a quiet, friendly lady who doesn't speak much English, but she clearly knows what she's doing. She was strong and skilled honestly the best thing I never knew I needed. She pointed out how tight my muscles were and said I'd feel much more relaxed afterward. After just one session I felt so much better. I was able to sleep through the night without the sciatica pain shooting every 10-15 minutes. It's been almost a week now and the pain still hasn't come back. Highly recommend. Thank you, Anna and Lyly!

I've tried facials a couple of times before, and my experience was okay, but I never really noticed a difference in my skin until I tried Satareh. I'm a skincare fanatic, and I know a lot about skincare, so I can honestly say this was the best facial I've had in my entire life. She knew exactly what she was doing, was very knowledgeable, and made sure I was comfortable throughout my 95-minute facial. The results were stunning. My skin looked so bright, plump, and refreshed. My advice is to skip the regular facials and go straight for the Regenerating Facial. It is a bit more expensive, but it is worth every penny.

I called for two appointments when I was nine minutes away, and they did heave them but wouldn't hold the slots unless I read my credit card. I told the lady on the phone I was driving and could not read it and she simply said, "I'm sorry I have to have that to hold the reservations." I couldnt read it while driving and I was nine minutes away so felt pretty unreasonable. Check-in was ok and they were nice but when I told them about my interaction they didn't acknowledge it at all. Simply said. "Do you want the reservations?" No acknowledgement, no apology. My boyfriend's therapist was excellent, five stars, and he felt better. They come to the quiet room at 4:22 pm for my 4:15 appt. My session started at about 4:25 and ended at 5:"8pm... not the full 50 minutes promised. My therapists Cranial scalp work was excellent, but the rest was generic and rushed. She didn't even know what type of massage I was getting. When I cashed out I found out the price was $180. I though maybe $140-ish as it is nice. At 180 dollars, call it a premium spa all you want, but one great massage and one average one isn't value. Decent amenities don't make up that gap. I can't justify the price, and I won't be going back. There are better massages with much more caring people. Use them. Update. Garrett reached out to me and we had a good conversion. I appreciated his effort and his sincere effort.

We arrived at the property a little before scheduled check in (2 hours ahead of time). I thought we…read morewould have to wait a long while, but the receptionist (Holly) checked us in immediately, and upgraded our room. She was friendly, professional, helpful, and accommodating. She explained all the hotel's amenities. In addition to the room charge, a $40 resort fee got us: 1. On-site parking; 2. Welcome sangrias; 3. Chocolate chip cookies each night; 4. A European styled breakfast each morning from 7am to 10am; 5. Wi-fi; 6. Beach chairs and umbrellas. Parking in Laguna Beach is a premium, so parking at the resort was great. The city of Laguna offers a free shuttle with a bus stop almost in front of the hotel. So we parked our car and took the shuttle all over town. The property is a well maintained, quant renovated 26 room Italian style resort. It's clean, charming, and has lots of character. It felt nice being at a small property and not at a large commercial hotel. We felt like we were back in Italy on vacation again! Just walking past the front of the hotel, you would not know that there is a luxury resort inside. They have a heated swimming pool (83 degrees), a sauna, and a secluded sun bathing lounge area and several other amenities. We opted for the heated wellness treatment which is a jacuzzi hot tub for two with mineral water. But they also offer single and couples messages and other message therapies. They have a quant internal courtyard for dining as well. We enjoyed a great European breakfast each day which was well prepared, fresh, healthy, and served by great hostesses. We especially liked the frittatas, fresh squeezed orange juice, hot coffee, and iced cold lemon water. The property is a historic landmark, so it doesn't offer handicap accessibility. So if you or someone in your group is in a wheel chair or uses a walker then this property won't work for you. Overall we really enjoyed staying here and would definitely go back again.

My husband and I spent two amazing nights here during the week. It got pretty busy at the inn as…read moreit was spring break. The service was excellent and can see that staff takes great care and attention to making sure everything is taken care of. We very much appreciated all the amenities this inn had to offer such as the welcome drink, evening cookies (delicious!), sauna, sunblock at the pool, towels, lovely breakfast.. all complimentary (breakfast with resort fee). We also appreciated the 10% military discount. We stayed in room 23 which was a standard queen bed with garden view and liked that spot because it felt central, private, and quiet. The room is on the smaller side but it was fine. It does not have a fridge but they provide an ice bucket. We ended up putting our bottled waters on top of the AC box and that kept it cool. Being that the inn is beautifully historic, there weren't many outlets inside the room. The bath robes were very plush. Both lamp shade knobs didn't seem to turn properly but we made it work somehow. Otherwise, we felt well taken care of throughout our stay and so glad we came. Aside from the inn, there is a walk to get to Victoria Beach. We walked south along Coast Highway to Victoria Place and found the underpass from there. We also took the free trolley outside of the hotel to get around town. It could be quite a wait for the trolley as we waited 30 mins. There is a QR code on the sign to track the trolley locations.

The Ritz was booked for some of the days we were gone so we tried the Waldorf. It did not disappoint at all. Like other luxury hotels in the area this place is very expensive, and some of it bugs me. Not only are you paying for your room, valet and taxes they also charge for most of the things you want to do there. This includes a resort charge with WiFi any and all fitness classes, beach towels (now this is nuts) , chairs & umbrellas, preferred green fees, beach games (are you kidding me), and any tram to the beautiful beach. Some I totally get and others are just silly. Now, I will be back. But I am never going to pay to play a game with others or for beach towels. We did not golf so I have no opinion on whether the cost is worth it, and I also have no idea how many holes it has. It is pretty and I do get the idea of a green fee, but beach towels, just no. The entire property is beautiful. It rests on top of a seaside bluff on some 175 acres in Dana Point. There is a private beach club, three pools (no fee), oceanfront golf, an amazing luxury spa and wonderful views. You can become a member of their spa, and fitness area. I have no idea of the cost. They offer every spa treatment you want and the service is great. We loved the pools and the views. The food is great there. This is another of you don't have to leave if you don't want place. Peace and quiet seekers will love this place and if you are into spa and wellness services, this is the place for you. All the guest rooms have a private terrace or patio. The rooms are so pretty. The beds are ever so comfortable. The housekeeping service is great. Our view was wonderful. There was nothing there that I needed that I did not have in my room. The service is just so kind and calm. We loved it. Save your pennies, this will cost you. Go for a special occasion or to just detox from the busy world.

I visited the spa as part of an overnight getaway to the Waldorf Astoria resort after the New Year…read more Unfortunately, the spa doesn't live up to the resort level experience it should be. For starters, my initial tour didn't include the quiet room, which I later discovered on my own after my treatment. In addition, there were no light snacks in the women's area, only a single water dispenser & a tea station, both of which were empty the entire 4 hour duration of my time there. Upon departure I realized there are some light snacks in the "members area" , which was also not shown to me during my tour upon check in, and I was surprised to see it all being put away at 5:30 , despite the spa being open until 7:00 pm. When a spa facilitates extended exposure to heat via saunas and hot tubs, it's essential that patrons have access to water so they can rehydrate and to have snacks available. This was a total disappointment. For the service itself, I got a 60 minute de-stress package. The first few minutes after my technician introduced herself were spent reviewing upsell options for feet, scalp, eye, and shoulder treatments that ranged an addition $40-60. I was surprised to learn the add-ons did not actually add time to the service, but the same 60 minute massage would occur with an emphasis on the body part mentioned. This was tacky and not something I would expect from a 5 star resort. In terms of the facilities and their upkeep, the towels were piled high in the hampers throughout the time I was there and the bowl with iced washcloths stayed empty until the last hour. The facilities themselves were outdated and nothing special with respect to the dry and wet saunas and the small whirlpool in the women's section. Overall I do not recommend the Waldorf Astoria spa and will spend my $300-500 spa day money elsewhere.

I looked in my local area and saw the Lake Forest location had good reviews so I booked an appointment. The day of I received a notice that there was an issue and was asked to reschedule with the Costa Mesa or Laguna locations. I picked Laguna as i thought this location would be posh and luxurious, I was wrong. The place is located on PCH and parking is difficult to get. First impression- The drapes were faded and had water stains. The waiting room smelled odd and the sofa was uncomfortable. The lady took me into a room and asked me to change into a pull over smock. Not sure how many people used it before me. Since I was a new customer I was hoping they would explain everything, but I just laid down and got a facial and hair cleansing. I was not told what they were doing, what products they were using and why. The lady was nice, the procedures were okay, but I'm not sure if it was worth almost $150. I go to alot of spas and I know that setting a tone with nice decorations and environment tends to make your experience nicer. Will I get another hairspa treatment, maybe, but I will definitely do more research. Again this is my personal feelings and experience and could differ from others. Please remember to do random acts of kindness as it will make everyone feel wonderful. Happy Yelping and follow me for more awesome reviews.
