Horrible management that includes Jennifer and Gina. Their hair stylist ends up cutting my children's hair, 9 and 8 year old boys, and completely messed it up! And they didn't even bother giving me credit for one entire haircut on next visit. Mind you that the hair cuts are listed at $75 a pop so I ended up paying $150 for them and my wife being the kind person she is, left a $10 tip for both cuts feeling bad for the lady cutting their hair. When I asked for some kind of credit or refund, all management did for me was add a $40 credit for future use. I was shocked because my wife and I are both 7 star players at the harrahs casino there and spend a lot of money in their establishment. Let me drop a few pictures of their cuts and you guys decide what's up. Both boys ended up with small cuts behind their ears. Can't believe why they can't be more gentle charging crazy amounts like that, and working with kids. Better yet, have a "kids price" on their instead of "men's" and make it a bit more affordable like $40 or something. Lastly? Stylist took 7 minutes on each kid. They both were done in 15-20 min max. Unfortunately my wife was present and she's more kind with words than me. But I've always praised them on other items except for now. This is not cool and the way management handled it isn't cool either.

Entrance is on the first floor near the front desk.

For a place that is named a spa, we received quite the chilly reception when we walked in for a reserved massage. Really quite surprised that more warmth wasn't provided to help a guest feel welcomed before they walked in, have to disrobe, and let a stranger put their hands on your body... Maybe I digress, but, the initial feeling was less than ideal. But, the massage my wife received by Lupe was great. She enjoyed the experience and the quality of the massage. She also enjoyed the facilities, even though they are a bit older. Check their calendar and call to check for specials. We got a good deal on a 60 minute massage and tipped accordingly. If you are staying at the hotel, the spa is right by the front desk. Really close to the South Tower elevators but a walk through part of the casino to get over to the North Tower elevators. Wear the appropriate clothes... Would we use the spa again for a massage? Yes. Would we hope for a friendlier / warmer greeting? Definitely yes. Hope you get the right massage therapist and...enjoy!!!

The spa experience I had at The Spa at Harrah's was absolutely fantastic! My Masseuse, Lupé, was outstanding! Honestly, I've gotten a lot of massages in my life, and this might have been the best one yet. If you find yourself looking for a resort with a good spa experience, hands-down, I would suggest Harrah's Rincon, and ask for Lupé! I would also like to give a shout-out to the Spa Attendant Millie, she was so accommodating and sweet.

Is it worth it? I feel disappointed..... Sauna, steam room, and salt water bath were COLD. I had high expectations for this to be my new favorite, because it is located close to home. Players Card Discount= Yes! 10% Parking= Free! Internet= No! (which is bitter sweet, because we are here to relax, correct?) Poolside Service= No! Pool/ Jacuzzis/ Lazy River Outside= Not included with day spa. Staff= Excellent! 10+ Ambience= 9 Relaxation Level= 6 However, Katherine just gave me an age defying facial which brought this spa up 2 stars!

I really hope this spa makes some changes for the better. I've been here a couple of times (the so pa credits the casino gives reels me in), but moving forward im not going to bother wasting my time until I see prices drop. This place is not serene for the following reasons....SHOWERS - the showers are small, there's no handheld shower head, the shampoo/conditioner/body wash all were missing the pumps, there's hair at the bottom of the drain, there's only three showers and the fourth handicap stall was out-of-order. A few girls before me made a wet mess with towels (so not classy). PRODUCTS - the products are not spa quality, they don't feel or smell nice. One of the two hair dryers were broken. I cleaned up my hair from brushing/blow drying, but I can't say the same for others. It shocks me how gross some people behave in a spa. I'd hate to see their homes, just saying. SAUNA & STEAM ROOM - the sauna was fine (I don't think anyone uses it. They have a cute sand timer on the wall. The steam room was ok (more people used this and left their towels in there). I did like how the spa caretaker refilled the bucket with ice and washcloths. WHIRLPOOL - it's huge, but the PH chemical levels are completely off so the sudsy mess piles up in the spa making a person not want to step in. The wall has a waterfall, but it wasn't turned on or working on my last visit. The towels are ragged like the kind you'd find in a grandmothers linen closet (yellow, thin, harsh on skin and strings hanging). RESTING ROOM - I do like how peaceful it is in here, unless a bachelorette party or birthday celebration is going on but have that fun girls and don't mind the rest of us trying to relax. There's another room where it's co-ed and more appropriate for chitchat (they have A snack there, too...yes just one snack). In both of these rooms the spa provides a variety of tea, fruit infused water and I think coffee. They have sugar and honey as sweeteners. My FACIAL here was terrible. I don't recall her name but she didn't extract anything and it was a waste of credits/money. Why do we get pressured to tip for this crap treatment? My MASSAGEs were very nice by Jen. She's a kind soul and I would request her again. I had no problem tipping her. Though these prices are outrageous compared to other spas and what you get. I really wish the spa would lighten up on the credit rules. You can't combine credits on one service (lame). You can't use credits on retail/products (really lame). Friday counts as weekend price (why??). Other casino spa resorts allow combining credits, hold monthly promos (each month $85-95 massage and you can use credits on promos). I do not recommend this place until they make policy changes. I don't know, I've spent so much time in multiple spas I know what I love and what I cannot stand. I've turned my own bathroom at home into a serene spa so it's hard to accept anything less.

Today, my friend had a 90 minute massage with Kristee and I had a 90 minute massage with Angie. They both were incredibly good. The best massage I've had in a long time. Plus, they are both so nice. The 90 minute massage included a hot stone massage and aromatherapy. It was $155. Totally recommend, and we will be back on our next visit to Big Bear!

More expensive than I've ever paid even on a cruise ship, but I get it-it's a resort town. Everything went great until it didn't. Be aware that in the end, they charge a hefty credit card fee, as each therapist is an independent contractor. We didn't know this. With their already high prices (conveniently including their own chosen amount tip already included for themselves) the credit card fee can be well over $20. Then I'm also paying a credit card fee on the top? Nah. Since I'm not really into paying unnecessary fees, I was then told that one technician takes only Venmo or Zelle. And the other ONLY Zelle. This complicated things as we don't typically use those payment apps (we do use Apple Cash, but neither accepted those. And of course we weren't carrying around $700 in cash. (I could have brought cash, had I known). So then the uncomfortable awkwardness came. Yeah I could have just paid the fee and been done but I was aggravated that this was not disclosed anywhere on their website. Not that they were independent contractors nor the % fee for credit cards nor the limited payment apps. We double checked while there and couldn't find anything on their site. Additionally when I made the reservation I was prepared to prepay and offered but the receptionist stated that we would pay at the time of service, which is most frustrating because she didn't mention why or anything about additional fees or limited payment options. So, all the stress that was just removed IMMEDIATELY came back. It was embarrassing also because a large party came in and crowded the small waiting area and some other older technician came over and demanded we pay NOW so they could begin with their new clients. I thought she was "the boss" but no, just asserting power. Because of that I'm tempted to even lower another star rating, which I did just because of that. Our therapists were nice about it, but looked worried, which they needed not be. We are good people. We worked it out with making a phone call and having the 2 payments sent. But I thought people should know this before they go: The techs are independent contractors. They each add on their own tip (as stated on their website) but how much that is-you don't know Some techs only take certain types of payment And one older tech was not compassionate about the situation and pretty much humiliated us for not wanting us to pay extravagant needless credit card fees. We will try a different place next time. But at least others will know if they read this.

I am 34 weeks pregnant to paint a picture for yall (so pretty uncomfortable at this point haha), I dont ever get massages so I wasn't sure what to expect especially with me being so far along but the table and positioning was comfortable and supportive the entire session. I chose to lay on my sides supported by pillows for my belly and I was super relaxed. She was able to work my full body, focusing on areas that are more problematic for pregnant mamas. I really didn't realize how much I needed this massage. The whole experience felt very healing, it released so much physical AND emotional tension I was storing all throughout my body. It was just a really intentional experience and you can tell she really loves and cares about what she does. She really pours love and healing into ur muscles!

When Calgon was NEVER enough…read more.. I have been coming here for at least ten years, with a hiatus due to joining a membership clinic over the last several. I was pleased to return to a day spa environment with all the additional amenities you do not receive in a clinic setting. I opted for an aromatherapy massage at the Pala Spa on this recent visit. I chose an oil that was both relaxing and invigorating, called "chai spice"! As a former massage therapist, I seek a therapist that is highly skilled when booking my appointments. The therapist was both professional and effective in providing a therapuetic environment during my service here. I am pleased that I have never received a bad treatment here. In the past, I have also chosen facials and opted for the value of a spa package. The rooms are also some of the nicest in Southern California with an option for an indoor or outdoor massage and a shower in-between the room and the patio. This is one of my favorite parts of the spa. The property has an ample relaxation room for sitting and readily available infused fruit water, tea, fruit and even coffee (should you need it to wake up)! The women's spa includes the use of a steam room, sauna, hot tub, and indoor/outdoor showers. The lounge areas are natural, rustic and relaxing. You have the option of booking use of the spa without a treatment for the day at a $30 rate (however you can save with a players card at $25). This will provide you use of the pool, gym and spa and the spa boutique on the property during regular business hours, Monday-Thursday. Weekends are reserved more for those receiving treatments. The spa staff is helpful and the facility is well maintained. They provide most of the final products to end your day of relaxation and invigoration: shampoo, conditioner, lotion, mouthwash, brushes, combs, hair products, etc. I suggest bringing your own blow dryer and irons for your hair. The blow dryers work but are stuck at low speeds. Pick up something much better than Calgon on your exit through the boutique...my husband purchased my selection of the Kneipp Herbal Bath "Sweet Dreams" with Valerian and Hops. This is the way to keep the spa-aah going at home. #NoToCalgon #YesToPalaSpa #ValerianandHopOnBy
