If you know me, you know that I LOVE massages! I have to get one at least once a month. This is one of my favorite forms of self-care, which is so important! It's easy and simple to book an appointment by calling their number. I can usually get an appointment the day of or the day before. They are located near Don Quijote. There's a dedicated parking stall so I never have issues with finding parking. There's even a sign to help you out. As you walk in, they will give you slippers to change into. It's super clean and quiet inside. There's never a crowd which feels very safe. I always get a 90 minute swedish massage. Rica is wonderful! She takes the time to make sure I'm comfortable. She somehow always uses the perfect amount of pressure. I prefer a more relaxing massage, but I know she can do deep massages as well. At the end of each massage, my body feels a million times better. After the massage, they give you water, tea, and snacks. They let you enjoy the refreshments inside the room which is amazing. I don't like lounge rooms where you have to sit with other people you don't know. You are allowed to enjoy the privacy of your own room and not feel rushed to leave. Did I mention that they also do package deals so that you can get cheaper massages?? They are the best! When I forgot my certificate at home, Rica told me I could just bring it the next time, so sweet! read more

There are lots of choices when looking for a massage in Waikiki and our choice to go to Sirene Hawaii turned out to be a good one. Located at 1660 Kalakaua, we walked there from our Waikiki hotel. The building, behind a fabric store , is older and dated but the massage quality and service was excellent. We were greeted by the therapists as we came in the door, and treated to ice water as we completed an intake form. Soon we were starting the couples massage and scrub which lasted 110 minutes and cost $200 plus tax. The quality of the massage made it easy to also give a generous tip. The treatment was completed with a shower to clean off the grittiness of the scrub. Lastly, as a nice surprise, we got back to the room with a parting gift of hot tea and sweets. Nice, eh? Fosho, my wife and I will be back to Sirene and we highly recommend it for anyone needing a little time of relaxation and recovery. read more

I can't say enough good things about this place lol. I'm a regular client and frequent there at least once a month. Usually Keiko san does my massage, she has a nice, kind lady but her hands are strong. She can tell if and where I'm tired even if I don't say anything! The salon is very relaxing and have a nice atmosphere, the owner Rika san is very friendly. If you are tired or stressed out this place is a great place to have a moment of relaxation! read more

Booked a couples massage for me & my good friend. They are having a special for October $99 for a 60 minute massage, what an awesome deal! The service & hospitality is top notch!!! We were immediately greeted at the door with slippers, a warm towel & lemon water. The room was nice & cozy and they provided us with robes to wear before & after our massage. The two therapists, a male & female, did an outstanding job of making sure that we had a relaxing and enjoyable massage. After the treatment was complete, they brought us hot pineapple tea (yummy), some fresh fruit & candies. I highly recommend this place, we will definitely be back!!! read more

Booked a couples massage which was $100 here on Yelp and checked in which should have given us another $10 discount. Paid 115$ in the end including taxes. My boyfriend's massage was good while mine was unfortunately mere average. Obviously it depends on which therapist you're getting!! The place itself was very clean and neat and there was also parking right outside the apartment. read more

I got the couples massage and alone, the Therapist would get 5 stars! Minus 1 star for the following reasons: -some of the linen didnt smell fresh, specifically the one placed over my eyes. - aromatherapy would have enhanced the experience. -played island music, a little too loud. Spa music would have been more tranquil. I would for sure go back though. read more

Already returned back here three times and it's my "go-to" place for a massage and to de-stress. Rica recently did a wonderful job with helping me get rid of allergies/sinuses and using natural oils to cure it! She's the sweetest and I admire the energy she brings every time I go. Tea/water are offered before and after treatment. Upon your first service, you'll need to sign an in-take form as well. Minor negative is that sometimes parking isn't available. There are only 2 stalls for the massage parlor, but perhaps street parking is the second option. Not a big deal, but it can get a bit crazy especially with afternoon waikiki traffic on Kalakaua Avenue (Keep that in mind). For a first timer, make sure you are reading Sunshine Massage signs places near the road, as finding the right door can get confusing. Also, the sound of traffic can sometimes be heard during the massage but if you can simply overlook that factor, then it should be okay. Aside from everything else, love coming here for my monthly massage. It's a Cozy and tiny place! Prices are reasonable as well. read more

So tried out the hot stone massage with Nikki and it was FAB-U-LOUS. I went in with a tension headache and left with a relaxed state of mind. It only felt like 15 minutes for the 60 minute massage...I wish it went on forever....next time I'll go for the 90 minutes. I like the heat from the rocks along with massage melted the tension away. They also give you a nice cup of tea after. It's located in an apartment complex on the 1st floor, they do have parking stalls 21-23. So if you're doing massage day with the girls carpool. Staff is friendly and they just opened last month so everything is fresh and clean. By the way, the massage tables felt like huge pillows for the body...time for me take a nice nap... read more

Great service from the moment we walked into the building to when we left. I highly recommend

I was in town for spring break/babymoon and wanted to treat myself to a prenatal massage. I sent an appointment request and received a response from Mitsuko (the owner) within 30 minutes. She explained that since I was still early on in my pregnancy that it was too soon for a prenatal massage but I can certainly come in for a regular massage (laying on my back) with light pressure. The place was easy to find and had parking right in front. The office was very clean and kept in great shape. Relaxing music played throughout. Mitsuko greeted me right away and was very kind and welcoming. She performed the perfect massage and exceeded my expectations. I'm so glad that I found my go-to massage therapist when I'm in Honolulu. read more

This time I had Joy. She was great! 1 hr massages are definitely not long enough. The pressure and variety of techniques she used helped release majority of my tensions. There was a slight hiccup on the masseuse missing our scheduled appointment, but a quick recovery was made by the owner. The service here is always pleasant and consistent. Great price, great service. You can't beat that! read more

It was our last day on Oahu and a rainy one at that. How to kill time? Get a massage! Naturally, we referred to Yelp for the highest-rated massage in Honolulu and Sunshine Massage was first on the list. We promptly booked an appointment and they took us that same afternoon. I'll first repeat what every previous review states: this place is a little tricky to find. You'll end up in front of an apartment building in a so-so neighborhood that will make you feel even more lost if you are unfamiliar with the city. A quick walk under the parking structure and you'll find their door. When we stepped inside, we were immediately greeted by two very sweet women who were eager to please. They gave us cups of water, special house slippers and sat us down to relax for a few moments while the room was prepared. Then they led us to a back room that was very cute and looked like they'd decorated it themselves. The massage itself started rocky but finished strong. My wife and I were side by side and could almost touch each other if needed. The lady who massaged me did a good job but I was having trouble relaxing because there were two different types of "soothing" music playing simultaneously - one in our room and one in the hallway. I asked her to turn one off. She also stepped away for a couple minutes to man the front desk, in the middle of my massage. At this point I was thinking this might not be the best experience. But she rebounded, somewhat. She came back and concentrated on me for a good 30 minutes, even walking on my back. I'm a big guy and she was small, so overall it didn't achieve the goal of cracking my back. The best part was that because of the rubbing, my jet lag and overall exhaustion I fell asleep by the end! I'll agree with a previous reviewer who may have had the same person. It wasn't a massage that was totally relieving. The pressure wasn't there and she never concentrated on one area for more than a couple seconds. But both the women were extremely nice and friendly and did apologize for the front desk issue (apparently their assistant called in sick.) read more

The only place I go for a massage! Sirene Massage Hawaii is located on Kalakaua Ave. near Don Quijote and 24 Hour Fitness Kapiolani. Super convenient! Parking is right outside the door and easily accessible! Upon entering you are warmly greeted and offered fruit infused water, tea, and tiny chocolates. (As well as when you leave). This place is very quiet, with gentle music playing, very clean, and very comfortable! Never a crowd. The actual massage is exactly what you need. They offer different styles and are able to accommodate to what you need specifically. Prices are very reasonable and well worth it. You will definitely be taken care of! Miss this place just thinking about it! Highly recommended See you guys soon, Sirene Massage Hawaii read more

My husband and I came in for a couple's massage. We were able to get a same day appointment, which was nice. The atmosphere walking in was really pleasant and the lady who greeted us was very friendly. I'm not sure of the woman's name who gave me my massage, but I am fairly positive she has never been to a massage school and has no idea how the human body works. First of all, she kept grinding her elbows into my bones - my spine, the bones in my feet, my freaking CHEEKBONES. She thought massaging my trachea was a good idea and literally choked me because she decided to press on it. Seriously, it was not good at all, and I kept telling her that what she was doing was not pleasant or relaxing, or really even helpful. She also left me completely uncovered while she walked out of the room and left the door open. And when she came back in, she never closed the door. She poured so much oil on my body that it was literally dripping off of me. My hair looked wet from all the oil. I definitely would not go back here because of the experience. I've had far, far better massages elsewhere on the island. read more

Sitting around in an office for 8 hours Monday-Friday is pretty stressful to the body. Throw in some weight lifting after work and the occasional basketball open runs within the week and your body is starting to feel a lot more frail than it does healthy. My girlfriend and I came to Hawaii for a little getaway vacation and decided that we wanted to do a little TREAT YOSELF day. We called the same day and booked an afternoon appointment for a couples massage which was very nice considering that I'm so used to San Francisco habits of booking days ahead of schedule. This is my second only massage ever in my entire existence, so I'm more of a massage amateur than I am a massage connoisseur. All I can tell you is, I came in feeling like 65 years old and came out feeling like I'm 16 again. Oh yeah, I fell asleep during the massage. That's how pleasant and relaxing it was. Come here, your body will thank me later (Figuratively, of course.) read more

The place looks a little sketchy from outside but the interior will make you feel like you are in a spa. We were extremely satisfied with our $99 couple massage. read more

I've been so desperately in need of a massage and finally found some time to call a few places. Since I just moved back to town I didn't really know where to go so I trusted Yelp. I called Sunshine and was able to get a last minute appointment 30 minutes after I called. That was my first positive experience I followed the clear instructions from the person who took my reservation and easily found the building and parking. Second positive experience! I walked in and was greeted by the owner Lia and another lady. I filled out a quick form was asked if I would like water or to use the restroom and then taken to my room. The room was clean and standard size for massages with nice background music. Now the massage.... I asked for a deep tissue massage. Lia was the one who provided the massage and she was absolutely phenomenal! Not only was the pressure amazing but her techniques got every area I needed and some I didn't know I had! She was also very cautious of seeing if pressure was ok in various areas. I've had massages from various therapists from all over Hawaii and the mainland and she was definitely Top 2 if not the best! I highly recommend trying this place! They have a slight discount for Kamaaina and while. It the cheapest out there the service is worth the price! read more

Great massage, the lady took her time and it felt great. She didn't rush at all and did my entire body. It felt very upscale and classy! Would go again! read more

Absolute best massage I've ever had. Leah is amazing! I suggest you just tell her what is sore and let her do the work! Can usually get you in on short notice. Can be hard to find from the street, but you can call and they will come find you. Would strongly suggest going here read more

I came across this place from all the great reviews and wanted to give it a try. I searched the site and found the massage I wanted, so I gave a call to set up the appointment. I set it for the next day, picked a time, and that was it. I was not asked what type of massage I wanted, so I assumed I would be telling them when I arrived. I mean who am I to tell someone how to run their business, so I went with the flow. Anyways I arrived for my appointment and was greeted by Rica who was very friendly. However at this point she still didnt ask me what type of massage I wanted. I ended up getting situated in my room and was at this point unsure what to expect. She enters and I mention which massage I wanted. She says ok. The massage starts and after the first 30 mins I can already tell I'm not getting the type of massage I wanted. So I asked her if this was the right massage, at which point she responds, "oh you want that type of massage?" I explained to her I visited her site and had my heart set on that type of massage. She then tells me that it is $10 more, which was not a surprise to me as I saw the prices on the site. The only thing is she tells me she did not have the correct oil to do that type of massage. She ends up giving more of a combination massage which was great, but it was not what I came for. She told me I needed to specify ahead of time so she could properly prepare. I was extremely polite and did not want to seem upset, but when you pay over $100 for a massage, you'd like to get what you ask for. At the end of it all, she still charged me the higher price for the massage but I didn't get that experience I was looking for. I have had the type of massage I requested before and this didn't quite cut it. I'm still giving three stars because it was an above average experience, just miscommunication that could have easily been avoided if I was asked up front for the type of massage I wanted. Also, if you have a website with a large list of choices, how can you assume someone is coming in for a combination massage? Rica did end up giving me $5 off my next visit, but I feel more could have been done as she knew I did not truly get the type of massage I requested **UPDATE** Rica is great, I love that she is so responsive. I changed my review to 5 star because she clearly cares about the customers comments. I will be back! read more

I finally have the time to write a quick review.... I called for a massage last minute on Friday 8/12 needing a massage badly, just to lose up my calf muscles from a the training I've been doing the Spartan race. I got an appointment immediately and live really close, which is AWESOME! When first walking in, I was greeted by an woman at the front desk who called for the woman who was going to massage.... This massage was just enough to get me loose and she knew how much pressure to apply so that I was not too sore to do the Spartan. She also uses Doterra which I am big fan of myself and use personally. Now my Spartan race is over and I got a few days of training training in, I calling for my ashiatsu massage! read more

So we had a few hours to spare before heading to the airport. Close to 15 hours of travel were ahead of us. We couldn't think of a better thing to do than to get a massage. Thanks, Yelp! I was a bit skeptical at first. This isn't a storefront location. It seemed like we were going to a motel in an apartment-like complex. You had to ring a doorbell because the door was locked. I wasn't sure what was going to happen. Walk inside. A total 180. It was super clean. The ladies working asked questions about our health, medications we were on, and problematic areas. We did an hour couples massage for $110. Those ladies didn't hold anything back. They dug in deep and took out every knot in our shoulders and back. There were a few moments I wanted to tap out but knew that I had to stick it out because I knew the aftermath was going to be beneficial. When it was all said and done, I got beat up to feel amazing and had a not as uncomfortable ride home on the plane (no flight in economy is comfortable). If you enjoy deep tissue massages or really need to take out the knots all throughout your body, these folks know how to get the job done. You'll walk away feeling refreshed! read more

Very great experience! I'm very particular about my massages and Lyseas did everything just as requested! Even small things like temperature of hot towels and how long they keep your skin wet after towel it was perfect! This place is very clean and well build apartment that was turned in to spa salon. Very good vibes, they treat you like ohana. We even have to sit down afterwards to wait for our next appointment and they have no problem with it. Highly recommended! read more

Was on vacation with my siblings and decided to get the couples massage / reflexology. We were able to book an appointment easily for the same day. When you enter into the establishment, it is very zen. They give you slippers to wear or you can opt to go barefoot. The massage room itself, is very pleasant and well decorated. My sister and I were on beds next to each other. Beds are not heated if anyone cares to know that. I had...Paul...if my memory serves me correctly and boy oh boy was he spectacular! My sister liked her massage therapist as well. Both of them asked us if the pressure was okay a few times which is great. Totally relaxed afterwards. If only this place was closer to where I lived! The couples deal for $110 is a steal for an hr total.My brother enjoyed his reflexology but said it was a bit too much pressure. He was just afraid to speak up. The lady who worked on him also did his back too. Only thing was they did not knock before entering but they give you ample time to get out of your clothes and into the bed. Just be careful in case you take a while to get naked. After the massage, they give you a delicious warm cinnamon-y tea and one of those asian flavored jello cups...along with a hot towel. Two thumbs up! read more

I'll just say right off the bat that I didn't actually step foot into this establishment, but it was the initial phone call to this place that made me select one star...it would've been no stars if there was a choice. So I called a few days ago to set up a same day appointment, and I guess it was the owner that answered the phone (not 100% sure). I asked for same day appointment when she accused me of coming there before. I've never been to this place before, and I was searching on Yelp because it had 5 stars and pretty good reviews. Not to mention I was in dire need of getting a massage because of my aching back due to working in a health related field and dealing with a lot of patient's. I guess she thought that I had bailed on her or something after making an appointment, but like I said, I've never been to this place before. The next thing I know, she's telling me that she needs a credit card to make the appointment! I'm thinking to myself...this is the first time EVER that anyone said I need a credit card to reserve my spot to make an appointment. So I told her where I live, and she estimated the time it would take to get there. She then asked if I still wanted the time, and I was like "uhhh..." because I didn't get over the fact that she asked me for my credit card number which I would never give out over the phone if she's going to write it down because I don't want anyone to get ahold of it and make fraudulent charges. Anyway it ended up being that she told me call her back when I make a decision what time I want to go in, and me saying "okay, thank you, goodbye." Which after that interaction I'll NEVER go to this place. read more

Mom and I dropped by the other day and got full body massages from Rika and Anna. For the most part we both enjoyed our massages and staff was very friendly. For the price point 110 for 2 people, would recommend. read more

Sunshine massage is the place you really want to go for many types of massage therapy. Just had a wonderful massage by Leah!! Went in feeling rough and came out a new person. Mahalo nui Leah!!!

I've had many massages all over the world on the beach in Thailand to 5 star hotels , this place has that little special touch highly recommended , best massage I think I've had they even let you relax after and take time to compose yourself while bring you tea/water and jelly :-) It's a little hard to find look out for the small (A) frame on the street go into the car park and u will see there door to heaven .. thanks aloha read more

My boyfriend and I did the couples massage for $110! This place was very clean, relaxing and enjoyable! They have air conditioning in the rooms, nice fragrances, and beautiful music. The couples room was very romantic. I had Rika, and I absolutely loved how friendly and hospitable she was/ the entire staff! So lovely, and asked me my preference! The hour went by too fast! At the end they brought in hot tea, and let me and my boyfriend stay in the room and relax! Definitely would recommend/ will be coming back!!!!! Thank you sunshine massage :) read more

I was browsing all the massage locations and happened to fall upon this one. GEM! I felt the name was fitting for Hawaii. Many of the massage locations have roughly the same price range in this touristy area. There was something about this one, though. I love cute tiny locations. Similar to small food restaurants that are tucked away. Only after visiting, finding out they are gems! I had a massage with Naomi. She was super friendly right off the bat. Very professional. She was nothing but smiles. The way she massaged was good deep pressure =) Her hand movements were harmonic. I felt very relaxed. She knew how to knead out all my knots and melt the tenseness away. The owner, this adorable Korean lady, Soon, is a very good massage therapist too. She is also very welcoming and friendly. You can tell she truly cares about her work, and treats every client like family. I enjoyed a nice cup of tea after my massage. This place a little hard to find. It looks like an apartment complex. Sunshine is tucked away. I think there are apartments above. Sunshine massage is located off the ground court area. There is parking right in front. The building on the outside says 1650, I believe. Great massage. Amazing service. Thank you Naomi and Soon. read more

Got the couple's massage and it was great! My first ever professional massage, and I wasn't too sure what to expect, and it ended up being a really great experience. They apply very comforting heat, and make sure everything is good throughout massage. Very relaxing. I would go back, no doubt. read more

I don't normally write reviews since I'm always busy but I finally have this time to do so and I made sure I made one for this establishment. Anyways... I've been looking around for a while now for a good massage place since my mom's working place took out the spa that use to be in their hotel . I was in dire need of a GOOD massage spa because my back has been hurting me for a while. I work at a dental office and being that we work with patients we tend to sit in a really weird position for a certain amount of time. Thanks to my boss, she recommended me to go to sunshine massage. She was telling me when I do book an appointment I should ask for Rika because that's who she always ask for when she goes in to get a massage. December 28 I gave the place a call and scheduled an appointment for the next day. It was easy finding the place because I would always pass by it going home from picking up my mom. You'd never suspect it was in this building because it looks like an apartment. When I first walked in the lady greeted me with a nice smile. She had me fill out paper work and asked me a few questions just to get to know me which was very nice of her. She asked me what level of pressure I would want when she does the massage, if I wanted the oils, and definitely made sure if I was comfortable enough that I wasn't too cold and what not. Let me tell you...... omg I loved it. I felt so relaxed, so comfortable and so calmed throughout the whole massage. I was dozing on and off that I think I caught myself about to sore. Lol .... the funny thing was that after the massage I found out the same lady that massaged my boss was the same lady that gave me a massage. Rika you are the best thank you so much!!! My birthday is this month on the 25th so I am DEFINITELY going to book myself another appointment for myself.and also bring my mom and recommending my friends and family to this place read more

Booked Couples Massage and got oil Swedish massage. I was very impressed by their customer service! We had Miyako-San and Rika-San. They were both very professional and obviously knew what they were doing! Miyako really took out the knots in my shoulder, neck, and forearm. You can request to mix massage treatments. I requested for Swedish + hand reflexology. After the service they kindly left us some snacks and tea and gave us some time to get collected before we had to leave. Very professional, amazing service and would definitely recommend their service! read more

Rika is the absolute best! She made me feel very comfortable And exactly the right amount of pressure that I wanted in my massage.

The wife & I did a couples massage & the ladies that worked on us were great! I can't remember their names but I would definitely recommend this parlor. read more

I had knots all over my back from traveling back and forth between Seattle and Honolulu, ask for the bare foot massage because it's a high pressure massage. It was wonderful and I slept like a baby last night. When you first arrive there, their awesome service begins with a drink. Song was great with details she ask what specific area needs to target and if you need more massage in that area just let her know. I feel so good after the massage that I book a second for 2 weeks later. Thanks Song! read more
