I have always wanted to go to this spa and finally did! I really kick myself for not coming here…read morebefore their price increases, but honestly, I felt like their gemini package was a great deal. We paid about $400, I'm estimating here, for 2 people to experience an hour massage and time in their hot tub room. We never felt rushed, even though we came on labor day weekend, so that was really nice. I agree with a lot of the reviews that say the hot tub has some wear and tear, it does, but we were still very comfortable and happy. I loved looked into the gardens and appreciated that there weren't mosquitos in our room. I did fear that as someone who attracts them like flies to honey. I'm happy to report no bites reported! We both enjoyed our massages. I don't know if this matters to you, but all massages are in single rooms. I had a wonderful massage and was so bummed when it was over!! We both had great massages. We will be back when we're in town. Parking was really easy. There's a lot right next door and street parking too.

3.5 stars. We did the Gemini package. Had 1 hour in our room and then 50 minute massages. The room…read morewas very peaceful and clean. The tub was worn down so you can see the stains, however, it was clean. It may be off putting for some ppl, just fyi. It was very quiet and peaceful with a lovely view. The sauna was also a nice touch. Wish there was a cold plunge, but we used the shower instead for a cold rinse. I have an anxious mind and it's very hard for me to relax, I didn't achieve it here, but was able to calm my nerves just a bit. My bf loved it and was fully able to zen out and enjoyed the sauna. The teas were nice pairing. Afterwards we had our massages. The masseuses looked like students, but overall they did a nice job, not the best, but it was calming. Unsure if they are certified. We have had various massages & I have my go to. These ones were just okay. My masseuse was kind and made sure the pressure was okay for me. I didn't get a hot towel afterwards to wipe the oil/lotion off so I was left sticky when we went out for dinner in DT SC. I think because of social media I was itching to try this place. A bit on the pricier side for the quality, however, more affordable compared to other Bay Area places. Staff were nice, street parking. Pay to park.

Kelly is one of the most talented massage therapists that I have found. I have benefited greatly…read morefrom seeing her weekly. After a diagnosis of Fybromialgia I was at a loss of what direction to go. I have a physical job, and need to continue working, but wasn't getting anywhere with Western Medicine solutions. I started seeing Kelly every other week with good results. A friend gave me the gift of weekly massage for 1 month, and that made all the difference. I have since committed to getting a massage weekly, and have been experiencing much greater relief from my Fybro symptoms. Kelly incorporates Ayurvedic healing oils that have helped me immensely.

I came here after a long journey with trying to figure out what was wrong with me feet. Kelly came…read morehighly recommended from a friend. She is such a wonderfully and caring person and truly cares about trying to help you. She sat with me for quite awhile trying to assess me and help me figure out what's going on with my body. She came up with a specialized plan just for me and my body to help me better myself and my health. After our assessment interview she gave me, by far, the best massage I have ever had in my entire life! I traveled 2 1/2 hours to see her and it was worth every minute. I had been seeing different doctors for over a year and Kelly was the one who finally got us headed on the right track to finding out the real problem! She still checks up with me to see how I'm doing and making sure that I'm on the right track. I hope that I can come back soon and see her again. I recommend that anyone go see her for any sort of issue you may have. She really listens to you and truly tries to help you.

We were staying near Ann's studio in Santa Cruz and made a last minute reservation for a private…read moresession. She was so great with my 8 year old daughter explaining things and correcting positions as we went along. I really liked her balance of the physical and spiritual side of yoga. Having spent a honeymoon in Bali the ambiance of the property was a real treat. We look forward to revisiting her when in the area.

Ann is the best ! We are fortunate to have someone of this high caliber right here in Santa Cruz. I…read morereally like the small class size since I get lots of personal attention and modifications of the poses to help with my recent knee surgery. Ann is very warm, kind, and caring and this shows through in her instruction and classes. Ann has been a top notch yoga instructor for decades and has focused solely on yoga, even traveling abroad for yoga every year. Ann's experience and reputation draw great students to her class that encourage and help each other. Ann also shares her vast knowledge of yoga and its history and tidbits during class to give context to the poses and why we do them. Ann constantly checks to make sure that you are doing the poses safely so you won't get injured. She is very detailed in her directions and comes over and uses her hands and feet to adjust you. You can't get that kind of hands on instruction these days. I'm amazed at the progress I have made with Ann by attending her classes once a week for the last few years. I highly recommend her classes and have heard great things about her yearly trip to Bali with her students. I've even started attending classes twice a week now. Lilly
