Found it a little odd that there was a guy in street clothes just working on a laptop in there esp since they say no cell phones. Hot tub is very small but heated pool is nice. Outdoor fireplaces and chairs as well. Reception area isn't confusing like some have mentioned. When you enter, there is a check in desk straight ahead. They DO tell you to bring a swimsuit if you check your voicemail. But also, who doesn't check spa amenities before you go. Tips Signage isn't great - Spa is past the main hotel building (turn right and follow signs to self parking) Make sure you check your locker combo before you lock it. I didn't and then didn't know what it was and had to ask for help. I do think individual keys would be easier just bc I'm the type of person to forget which locker number I am

I was disappointed, but I made the best of it and thankfully had a flexible schedule that day. I ended up ordering tea and lunch from the Tea Bar. Unfortunately the matcha was out of stock, but I opted for another green tea and the crab cake. It was raining the day I was there so I didn't end up using the pool. I really like my facial with Ruth. She was amazing and had lovely energy. I would definitely rebook. My massage was okay, but despite a few requests for more pressure, I was told that was the max she could do. I have had a lot of massages, but have never encountered that before

The "spa" is literally the locker room and a steam room plus bathroom stalls and that's it. There are several other day spas in Marin with way better facilities, more diverse services with high availability and set up by comparison. Wouldn't come back here because the price point isn't warranted, felt like a tourist trap.

The deep tissue massage I got was very good. Can't say it was the best I've ever had but definitely not the worst. Just don't expect it to be as big or grand as a five star resort or anything. It's located in the boutique style hotel which has been there for ages. It's small, yet nicely appointed. The staff were great, rooms were quiet. I enjoyed the outdoor lounge area. The rest of the place isn't much to see. There was one loud group of guys making noise/laughing loudly for a while down the steps from the lounges. Not sure if they were employees of the hotel or guests but it stopped after 10 minutes or so. With tight quarters you can't do much about that. The men's locker room was meh, clean, but small and kind of rank smelling like a local YMCA or something. Think that's due to it being so small and having a steam room, there's not great ventilation. Also thought it wasn't good that the urinals were so close to the sinks. Shower pressure not great. Parking is a bit tricky being downtown Sausalito. They give you a free parking pass if you go out and get it. Wish they'd email it to you ahead of time to be more convenient. Overall, it's ok and I may return under the right circumstances but I do prefer a more spacious type of spa with more amenities.

I can honestly say, she gets me. I can ask ALL my questions and have felt cared for through the entire process. Melissa you've helped me feel truly confident in my own skin!

She takes great care to make you feel comfortable and has amazing attention to detail. I also appreciate how blunt and direct she is - feels like she's actually collaborating with you on what will look good and what the right approach is.

It's been 2 weeks and they look just as good as the day I got them. She was clear about the aftercare and potential length of the results (likely 4-6 weeks). Will be coming back and highly recommend!

My family of four has been going to Southern Marin Dermatology for years, and we have generally had…read morevery good experiences with the doctors and nurses. Unfortunately, our experiences with the front desk have been consistently frustrating and seem to be getting worse. The most concerning experience occurred when my husband was diagnosed with melanoma. After receiving such a frightening diagnosis, we waited and waited for an appointment and for information about what would happen next. We were frustrated by the lack of communication and ultimately contacted UCSF, where we were able to get an appointment quickly and received a clear explanation of the diagnosis and next steps. We've had other frustrating administrative experiences as well. I handle the medical scheduling for our family because my husband has a demanding work schedule. When I called to make an appointment for him, I was told that he needed to sign a HIPAA authorization form. I asked if they could email the form so he could sign it, but I was told he had to come into the office in person just to sign it. This seemed unnecessarily difficult. More recently, before making appointments, the front desk required us to pay outstanding balances immediately--including one bill we had not even received yet. We use an HSA to pay our medical expenses, so being required to make an unexpected payment on the spot was particularly frustrating. We have stayed with Southern Marin Dermatology because we appreciate the doctors and nurses and believe they provide good medical care. But dealing with the front desk has become increasingly difficult. I hope the practice takes these concerns seriously and improves its communication, billing practices, and overall administrative experience. Good medical care deserves an equally professional and compassionate front-office experience.

Mary was amazing! First time visiting. Will not be my last…read more My body was screaming at me. Unfamiliar with Sausalito, I went on a search and was able to book a last minute appointment. Booking was easy and quick with a note field to highlight concerns or places needing focus. First appointment of the day, two hour session. Mary sat with me, listened to my concerns and inquired about areas I felt needed the most focus. During the session, I was provided tea, a relaxing environment and Mary's presence was very calming. She was attentive, thorough, checked in with me, and gave me much needed overdue TLC - I was in heaven. If you are looking for a massage to melt the body back to a state of peace, Mary is the set of hands and other limbs needed to do just that. Mondays she is there all day. Ask for her specifically, you will not be disappointed. I will definitely return, asking for Mary, awaiting her magical touch. Thank you for an incredible session Mary, I appreciated it so very much! I live in the east bay and made the trek, worth every second and cent.

This place is terrible. Ritual Spa is not a spa, it is a room on a busy street in Sausalito located…read moreabove a clothing store and a cafe. We were surprised to discover there were no amenities, no wellness center, no hot tub, no sauna, just a room that reeks of chemical air freshener. (Other yelpers have also noted the stench in this place.) The environment is not relaxing as advertised. Quarters are very cramped. Perhaps most concerningly, while most massage places have allowed us to select our masseuse, Ritual prohibits it. I was required to book via a third-party website and there is no option to select your massage therapist. They just assign you someone. If you want a woman for purposes of safety and comfort, too bad, you get who you get. If you book here you will pay $250 (with taxes, tip etc) for a cheap, oily massage, as I did. According to the menu we were handed, things that are normally included in massages - for example, targeting places of pain - are an extra cost "add on," which is absurd. The massage itself was terrible, we were soaked in oil afterwards and so was our clothing. Pants were ruined. This place is a total rip off. Be wary of anyplace that has many 5 star reviews from "new" yelpers who have never written reviews before. They have no actual details or info and may not be legit. P.S. The owner routinely harasses yelpers who write authentic reviews. (There is no rule that reviews have to be from this week. Nor are yelpers required to disclose the time and date of their visit. That's just creepy. The owner would be wise to heed constructive feedback rather than abusing reviewers.) Skip this place.
