Catching a glimpse at the gorgeous horses, parking by all the blooming wildflowers, which smell incredible. The walk up the hill let me find a hidden secret garden filled with some type of morning meditation group. When I checked in for my hour signature massage, the hostess was pleasant, juggling a very busy day and still paying attention to continually restock used up amenities being used by guests. The waiting room and the tea room both had lovely snacks (the tea is made with four different satchels, but the peppermint was the only flavor I could pick out). Try the oatmeal cookie after your massage, you'll love it. I came with a large group and didn't get to fully enjoy every lovely amenity that was provided by The Spa. The pool might have been salt water, because it didn't have the harsh smell of chlorine. And I'll have to come back to enjoy drinks and hot tub time tucked away in the corner near a waterfall down the mountainside. Very romantic. Very decadent. Very worth every penny I spent for my one hour treatment.

It was one…read moreof the most relaxing experiences I've had in my life and definitely the best massage I've ever gotten which I was shocked about because I get massages bimonthly and have been almost every other place in SLO. Rebekah used the perfect amount of medium pressure consistently throughout and the scrub was AMAZING, I'd always wondered about them but never got one before and now I am hooked! The raindrop therapy could have been shorter and I didn't get offered the after treatment refreshment mentioned in the description on the website but the massage was so incredible that i would still give the experience 6/5 stars, and can't wait to come back!

I can be pretty much a spa snob in this area I live at. I have experienced a few high end luxury…read morespas and this categorizes itself as it, but sadly it was very subpar. 3 stars only bc I wish I could give it 5 for my massage therapist Alejandra , she was good at what she does. This rating comes with everything else ; service , the very limited amenities, added fees for pool, no champagne . The bathroom is tiny, there's absolutely nothing to get ready with except for dry shampoo , deodorant. No blow dryer ? There's one shower. Yes one shower and yet multiple massage rooms ? Hmmm. So you have to basically wait to use it. There's a steam room and that's it. There's a poolside with a fee not included to the amenities of $45 weekend and $25 for weekdays. Even if there's a "package", for pool access and champagne -that's the first I had ever experienced that and thats off-putting. Parking is complimentary valet. I had to drive my car out when I left. Granted it was 3 cars down from their desk. However it's my birthday and it's suppose to be a luxury place? I don't feel like doing the valet for myself. Another note , on the forms , it asks what's the occasion or notes. I had wrote it was my birthday. Just as the previous reviews - they obviously don't read it but there was nothing special for it. Especially for spending $246 for a massage. Their lounge room is a bunch of chairs with audio ocean with bubbles on the wall- that was the only modern look to it. However, the first luxury spa without a glass of champagne offered. Why request it, aren't we all there to relax. It should be offered as most spas do. I gave this place a shot and it didn't give at all for the overall. However again, great massage with Alejandra , but overall everything else was mediocre. (And that's kindly putting it. Mediocre) Oh and gratuity is included ! 20% to the price of the massage so either you didn't like the massage or whatever reason - you're already paying the tip. So overall , amenities , valet, no champagne , no pool /hot tub, one shower , no greeting on birthday (don't expect doing a birthday here ) , I don't think I could fully recommend this place.

I called to book a 90-minute deep tissue massage, however they did not ask my name or really even care to confirm my visit time, so I thought ok fine, I'll just show up and hope for the best! Once I arrived I was kindly greeted, asked about my preferences and led into a nice, but somewhat "central" massage room. I am VERY used to receiving massages, but somehow this whole operation seemed a little rushed. Once I was on the massage table, my masseuse was very kind, asking questions to ensure I was comfortable, and provided a very nice massage session. However, these massage rooms are barely "rooms", and you can hear every patron entering, leaving, paying, talking, and even the music from the neighboring restaurants in the shopping center. My masseuse did his best to create a relaxing environment, utilizing a space heater and creating some white noise, but it was ultimately overshadowed by the staff having to speak from room-to-room to eachother mid-session, to ensure other patrons needs were being met. That being said, it was a nice massage. I was relaxed and felt great, until it came time to check-out... My 90-minute massage was fair, and cost $92, as advertised. Upon trying to leave a cash tip (I thought $10 would suffice) after paying by card. I was basically told that my tip amount was insufficient and that I would need to swipe my card again. Feeling bad, I did, only for the masseuse to FILL OUT HIS OWN determined tip on the iPad--an extra $15. I was honestly so taken aback that I didn't truly realize how violating it was until I left the building. It made the whole experience feel very scam-like, and unfortunately I don't plan to return, but if anyone reading this does want to give Panda Massage a try, do NOT let yourself be conned into tipping more than you feel appropriate!

By the end of our session, I'm amazed at how different my body feels from when I walked in the door. I wish we could find someone like this where we live because we don't get to SLO that often.

About a…read morequarter of the time, the massage was done through the sheet, and the rest of the time there was an excessive amount of oil used, which made it feel more messy and rushed than relaxing. The space itself is very clean, but it seemed understaffed. We arrived around 3:45 pm for our 4:00 pm appointment, rang the bell, and a staff member came out of a massage room looking confused about our booking before asking us to sit and wait. There were also a few inconsistencies in the experience. I was offered a heated bed, but my partner, who had an appointment at the same time, was not. Small details like that made the experience feel less thoughtful. Additionally, the staff didn't come across as very welcoming, and when I was lying face down, the sheets had a damp, wet-laundry smell, which was off-putting. Overall, while the space is clean, the service and overall experience didn't stand out, and it's not a place I would return to or recommend.
