As soon as you check in for your appointment, there are forms you will have to complete and while you do that, you are provided with a warm face towel and soothe the nerves and to begin your relaxation treatment. The staff member that greeted me was very warm and welcoming. You are offered a luxurious robe and slippers to wear during the entirety of your spa treatment. Prior to entering your treatment room, they ask you to wait in a beautifully curated and super cute room with a water dispenser and mixed nuts for you to enjoy while you wait. It was a whole vibe with low lighting , modern touches and such comfortable lounge chairs. Donna was the female who served me. She seemed very knowledgeable about how to better care for my skin and was thorough with each step she took. After your treatment, you have the option to take a nice, warm bath in their state of the art, delta showers and help yourself to the products in the bathroom. I can't wait to visit again :)

It was awkward and unprofessional, and it set a bad tone right away. After I changed and put on the robe they provided, she later told me I needed to put my hair up. I didn't have a hair tie, so I asked if they had one. What made this strange is that everyone else in the spa had their hair down, and I was planning to shower anyway with shampoo and conditioner. It felt like I was being singled out. As someone with curly hair, it made me feel targeted and uncomfortable, especially since no one else was asked the same thing. She also made a comment about keeping the sauna clean, which honestly made no sense. I had just arrived and had done nothing that would make it dirty. The comment felt unnecessary and insulting. For context, I had just gotten off a 5 1/2 hour flight and couldn't check into my Airbnb yet, so I came here just to shower and kill time. Instead of feeling relaxed and welcomed, I felt judged and uncomfortable the entire time. Overall, this was not a good experience. If you're looking for a spa that's welcoming and respectful, I'd suggest going somewhere else. I personally would not return.

My technician was Mina. She performed my service package. At other spas I've been to, different people performed different tasks in the spa package. Mina was excellent at everything, from scrubs and massages to facials. She was professional, friendly, and thorough with her work. She also provided instructions after each item session (my package included facility use, scrub, massage, and facials). I got to the facility ~30 mins before my appointment. An employee walked me through the facility and provided instructions. I used the hot tub and plunge pool before the scrub. After my session was done with Mina, I had lunch with friends. After that, I used the dry and charcoal rooms. The business was clean and organized. They had lockers for us to store our things in. The posted signs on the wall were a little confusing, but you can always ask the staff if you are unclear. They were friendly. In the beginning, I was a little nervous about booking for my group after reading the negative reviews and responses, as I wanted the day to go smoothly since we were there to celebrate birthdays.

Most massage therapists can't go deep but these ladies are strong and then they walk on your back which gives the pressure I like. One thing I don't care for is that it seems that they have a routine of massage and don't really work the place I want them to so I have to remind them of my problem area so they give it more attention. When you make an appointment with them, they will text you reserved stalls that you can park in as sometimes the visitor stalls are taken up which is nice that you don't have to worry about it. Overall this place is clean and the people are friendly and it's a fair price which is why I have come here multiple times.

FACILITY: There's a utilitarian wet sauna (e.g., no aromatherapy), dry sauna, and hot & cold pools inside; a small lounge area is outside with what appears to be a jacuzzi. I say "appears" because I just happened to notice the jets. There was no sign identifying it or explaining how to turn it on. The wet sauna was off and there was no sign explaining how to turn that on, either. PERSONAL AMENITIES: You're given a nice robe and one towel. I was only told to bring a bathing suit, so I was expecting disposal spa slippers. Nope. I had to walk everywhere barefooted, including the locker area where people (naturally) had walked in their outside shoes. Ugh. You could pick up a small tube of hand/body lotion, a small shaving kit (disposable razor & tube of generic shaving cream) and/or a small vanity kit (tiny nail file, cotton swabs & cotton pad) at the sinks. There were no snacks or even drinking water available unless you had a massage -- then you were given a bottle of water when it was over. MASSAGE: This is the first time I thought to myself, while getting a massage, "This woman could easily kill me with her bare hands!" Her hands were that strong. She'd asked me if I wanted my massage "hard" or "soft," and I replied, "medium, and we'll see how that goes." Well, it went very painfully at times -- I had to tell her repeatedly to go softer. It's a week later and my shoulders still hurt with certain movements. SERVICE: The receptionist (the only person always onsite; the masseusses and such are called in when needed) was not very gracious when I asked her how to turn on the wet sauna and only reluctantly went back and did it ... so I didn't bother to request her help to use the jacuzzi. Clear communication, in general, was lacking. For one, I was told on the phone that a bathing suit was necessary for the saunas, but once I got there, was told I could choose to just wear a towel. I've read the other reviews, and I see that they offer a kamaaina discount. No one told me that, even though I said at multiple points (on the phone and onsite) that I lived in the neighborhood. BOTTOM LINE: I'll try some other day spa next time I want to pamper myself.

If you are looking for a serene and private spa experience, this is your place. Exquisite products including gemstone infused oils are used in the signature body treatments, and the therapists are skilled, professional, and sensitive. Comphy Co. sheets are used on the treatment beds which feel simply divine. The aesthetics department has a Dermalucent light machine which I've been told Madonna totes around on tour to keep her facial collagen in tip top shape. Come in for a treatment- you won't regret it! read more

My massage therapist was Yuri, and she was FANTASTIC. She is so sweet and kind, I told her I liked really firm pressure, and she delivered. She did better than the male therapists I've had. If you're looking to be pampered and to relax, but don't care much about spa amenities; ( hot tub, sauna etc.), I recommend Spa Halekulani 100%. The massage rooms are dimly lit, closet to put your belongings, calming music and their tables are heated. You can enhance your experience with oils, they ALL smell wonderful and aren't too strong of a scent. I opted for CBD, which also comes with a CBD shot to drink. I've had a bad back for a long time and she was really able to work out some knots, and the CBD makes you feel really relaxed. After your massage you are taken out to their patio to sit. They will provide you with tea and a little dessert. They also do cocktails and champagne. Sitting out in the patio is so tranquil, you just listen to the birds, the waves of the ocean, as you decompress and all your worries just melt away, and they don't rush you. You can take however long you want. This will be my go to spot every time I visit Waikiki. Thank you to the wonderful staff and Yuri for such a great experience!

Unlike many spas that tend to upsell services, she was refreshingly honest--advising that certain add-ons were not necessary for relaxation, especially given how much was already included.

However, every location only offered pods, which didn't work for us since we are both claustrophobic. So, I was excited to find Spa Pure! They offered something unusual; a massage while floating in salt water. While it wasn't the flotation therapy that I had experienced in the past and was looking for I thought we'd give it a try. I made an appointment at their facility in the Marriott Courtyard at 400 Royal Hawaiian Walk off Kuhio Ave on the lobby level. The spa is a neat but bare bones operation run by Dennis and Petula who are passionate and dedicated practitioners who are attentive to your needs. Their practice is based on Watsu which is almost as freeing as flotation therapy; nice alternative if you are like me and can not do pods. Don't worry about size; I'm 6'2" and 245lbs and Dennis handled me with ease. If you want a different way to decompress, have your body gently stretched and moved while let your worries drift away, Spa Pure is THE place for you!
