While my massage therapist, Nicole, provided an excellent service, the overall experience at this facility fell far short of standard spa expectations. (60 min Massage, 30 min "Salt Sauna") Finding parking in front of the building was convenient, but locating the business on the second floor was quite confusing, as it shares an entrance with the local 24 Hour Fitness. While checking in was smooth and I opted into a $9 upgrade (hot stone, oil, and salt), the vast, empty lobby lacked the welcoming ambiance and tranquility typically expected of a professional spa. Nicole was incredibly hard-working and delivered a thorough, high-pressure deep tissue massage using effective elbow and forearm techniques. The hot stones were a nice addition, though I never noticed any salt treatment being applied despite paying for the upgrade. Unfortunately, the treatment room itself was a major disappointment. It resembled a basic hotel room furnished with an seemingly homemade wooden massage bed and a recliner. Additionally, the headrest had a noticeable odor, and the room was dusty enough to instantly trigger my allergies and cause nasal congestion. The most concerning part of the visit was the "Salt Sauna." This was simply another converted hotel room with cloth walls, plastic seating designed to look like rocks, and a few actual salt blocks on a ledge. It lacked any proper sauna components, such as an electric heater, wood-burning stove, or infrared panels. Labeling this as a sauna feels like a blatant misrepresentation. Furthermore, when I asked for a dressing room, I was instructed to change inside this makeshift sauna room. This was highly uncomfortable due to the heat, and it raised serious privacy concerns as the door featured a peephole facing inward toward the room. Upon departure, I requested a receipt for proof of service. The front desk informed me they could not provide one because the booking was made through a third party. As a customer, it is highly unusual and unprofessional for a business to refuse to provide a standard receipt confirming services were rendered on their premises. Nicole's exceptional performance is the only reason this review is not a 1-star rating. She is incredibly talented, but the management desperately needs to address the subpar facility conditions, misleading descriptions, and lack of professional privacy standard. read more

I wish I could give this place minus 1,000 stars! This was one of the worst experiences I've ever had. The place was dirty, the service was terrible, and it was a complete waste of money. My friend and I each paid $120 for a head spa, and it was incredibly disappointing. The package said it included a head, neck, and shoulder massage, but I don't think they know what a real massage is. They were just pinching us and randomly grabbing our arms. It was uncomfortable and nothing like a professional massage. To make matters worse, after this terrible experience, they still asked for a tip! I have never paid $120 just to have my hair washed. Save your money and go somewhere else. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

I'm actually tired of spa massages, like with your feet they just don't really do anything like any type of pressure, the massage on the back was pretty good, but the rest of the body felt like the masseuse was taking a lot of pauses and not really put their full effort into it. And they're charging at least $20 more than a lot of the places in the area. I won't go back.. I feel like most people don't have $95- $105 to get this kind of massage very often, so it's disappointing not to get a better massage when you do. read more

I came back here and had a much more pleasant experience this time. The younger receptionist greeted me with a warm smile, was friendly, and very accommodating, which made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. Apple, my massage therapist, was also wonderful. She was attentive, listened to my preferences, and adjusted the massage exactly as I requested. Her professionalism and thoughtful care made the session relaxing and enjoyable. I'm glad I gave this place another chance read more

TLDR; We ended up paying the Groupon plus $29 each and instead of getting a 150 minute body and foot massage, with hot stone, salts, and oil; we got 20-25 min foot massage and 30-40 minutes body massage with about 1 minute of hot rocks and no salt scrub nor oils. Then we sat in a warm room for about 5 minutes. --- I bought the couples 150 minute foot and body massage with salt sauna package. We got there and they said it was a $9 each upgrade if we wanted stones, oil, and salt scrub. We decided yes so paid an additional $18 on top of the Groupon. They then brought us to an unprepared room, we sat in the chair, waited about 5-10 minutes, then they brought in a bucket of warm water to foot soak for about 10 minutes, then they took our feet out and prepped towels into the warmer, then massaged our feet for about 20-25 minutes. Not once did they use the stones, salt, nor oils. This whole time the door was open and both of our people were talking to each other. Not sure what they were saying but their faces were not very nice and looked like they were arguing. There was also commotion outside and unable to relax. Then they brought us into another room to change for the body massage. This is one of the worst massages I've had, there was no skill and all elbow or awkward hand pushes, it seemed as though they had no training. They used the rocks for about 30seconds to a minute on each of us, but no salts nor oils. They also walked in and out of the room constantly. We were in that room total for 60 minutes but time spent working on me was 30-40 minutes. Then they walked us into a warm room that I wouldn't even call a sauna, I believe my house gets hotter in the summer. She laid a towel down on each side and told us to lay but my hips were bigger than the skinny bench so not at all comfortable plus it was hard tiles with only a thin towel as padding. We sat in there about 5 minutes and then got out and walked around to ask if there was something for our last hour and couldn't find anyone in the back area. We then got dressed and walked out from to ask if there was anything for the last hour of the massage and she said it was an hour sauna. I said it's fine we'll leave early, and then she proceeded to demand tips. They had a sign with tipping rates. I had 2 $20s so handed her that (20 for each of us) and she proceeded to point down to the bottom of the list saying our treatment was 2.5 hours. We may have been scheduled for 2.5 hours but didn't even get an hour of massage. I said no thanks and left. read more

My boyfriend and I got the deluxe package with one hour foot massage one hour body massage and 30 minute sauna. There was a whole lot of just rubbing my legs and rubbing my feet during the foot massage. I kept telling her to apply pressure, but she wasn't hitting any pressure points. It almost felt like she was falling asleep during the massage. That part was pretty annoying and not enjoyable at all. Body massage was a little better, however she caused a strain in my neck that I'm still feeling today. Sauna wasn't that hott. But it had a nice layout. My boyfriend and I won't be back. Although he was generous and tipped each lady $25. My lady didn't deserve the tip. But the lady that did his massage put a lot more effort than mine unfortunately :( read more

I came here today because Groupon had a special for one hour massage and a one hour facial initially. The lady at the front desk check-in was amazing and the therapist named Ami gave me a full body. I then proceeded to be walked over to another room for a facial with Apple. It took her about 10 minutes to enter, and then once I sat down, it was not clearly explained to me that I was getting a European facial. She kept trying to communicate to me what she was going to do and I couldn't understand which is completely fine. I just opted for the facial that I booked, but then she proceeded to go on with the facial and I felt like she was literally just slapping my face. I clearly thought that it should've included a neck and shoulder massage which it didn't and then once she proceeded to put the mask on my face she was literally gone for a good 15 to 20 minutes so I have no idea what was going on at the time of my service. I graciously tipped Amy because our service was amazing and I gave apple a little less . Was shocked the manager at the front desk kept asking have you tipped? I replied yes I have each lady a cash tip directly. Pros. This place has great deals and provides vaster of service services. It's not clearly explained what service you're getting. The price seems to vary as initially they weren't willing to honor the Groupon price that I was willing to pay them directly, and I felt uncomfortable and treated differently when I didn't opt for the add-ons and they kept pushing on it on me read more

Massage was ok, not worth the price. You can find better service for much cheaper. The main reason I rate this so low is because they pressure you to tip, and they have "recommended tips" which if you say you will choose your own tip value they refuse and say "well we recommend you tip at minimum $15 for every 30 minutes of service". I was initially being nice and wanted to top 15%, but ended up ended up tipping 25% due to the pressure, which is insane. Pay your workers more? Tip is for good service, it should not be forced on the customer. Bad practice. read more

I booked a 90-minute massage and specifically requested a deep tissue session, but unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations. The masseuse didn't apply firm pressure and mostly used her elbows. Overall, it felt more like a light relaxation massage instead of the deep tissue work I requested. Disappointing, especially given the length of the session and the price. And expect tip based on their recommended tip range. Another thing is that when I asked for another crackers - they responded they can only give one per customer. Wow- what's the cost of the crackers?! I left saying, I'll go buy my own. Truly disappointing. Please be warned- the masseuse do not speak English! Hard to communicate! read more

My mother-in-law and I recently booked a group session at Water Lounge Spa (Millbrae location), and I want to start by saying the actual massage experience was very relaxing. I was genuinely pleased and even excited to return in the future and bring my fiancé along. Unfortunately, what should have been a peaceful, rejuvenating visit ended with a really disappointing and uncomfortable experience. As we were leaving, one of the front desk staff called me back loudly, which made me think there was an issue with the payment. Instead, she asked, "Are you going to tip your ladies?" I told her I would give each of them $5. She then pointed to a sign on the counter that listed a "suggested tip" of $15-$20 per massage therapist, and insisted that's what we were expected to give. After already paying $240 for the service, being pressured to tip an additional $40 felt completely inappropriate. Tipping should be a personal choice -- not something a customer is shamed or guilted into, especially not in such a public and uncomfortable manner. To make things worse, the way the staff handled this situation made my mother-in-law feel extremely embarrassed and anxious. She even began checking both of her bank accounts at the front desk to see if she had extra money to give the therapists -- just so we wouldn't be treated poorly. That kind of pressure is unacceptable, especially in a place that's supposed to promote peace and relaxation. We had also paid for the additional aromatherapy, salt, and hot stone upgrades, as suggested by staff at the beginning -- yet there was no salt or aromatherapy provided during the session. It felt misleading and unprofessional. I typically go to Crystal Cove Spa, where I consistently receive excellent service without being upsold or pressured. Their staff never tries to force tips or change their demeanor based on what you decide to give. Sadly, because of how we were treated, I will not be returning to Water Lounge Spa. This was not the relaxing experience we paid for -- it left us feeling uneasy, uncomfortable, and disappointed. read more

Used to come here for massages long time ago and stopped visiting for a while. I had a Thai massage yesterday morning but still have stiffness in my upper back and neck. I felt that I need some extra boost. Did some digging and realized that this place also offered sauna and French/korean scrub treatment. So I wanted to give it a shot. Originally, we agree to have the scrub first then sauna. When I arrived, was told the scrub would have to wait after sauna (my guess is that they booked the therapist to another appointment). That is okay but I want to rinse first. The front desk got a lady to take me between rooms. The set up here is very awkward. The shower room is also the scrub treatment room and it is far from the sauna room. I was taken there with a box of a robe and towel. Okay... I started to rinse.. once I was done, I couldn't find the lady who took me here and I didn't know where to go. Flagged someone down and they were able to find the lady who took me to the sauna room. I originally booked for 30 min but the temp was comfortable so I asked to increase to an hour and was able to get it. The sauna room has heated salt bricks around the wall, bench and the floor. Towels and pillows were there and a jug of water was provided. My sweat started to show around 30 min mark. I wish they had a cold plunge nearby but i appreciated the privacy for the private sauna room. Could definitely do hot yoga here. When I was done, once again, couldn't find the girl. I walked up to front desk and ran into the girl. She didn't remember that I had a scrub session after and she went to check with the front desk. I went back to sauna and continued to wait. She came back after and took me back to the scrub room. I took a cold shower and waited for my scrub therapist. I didn't have any instructions on what to do next.. Someone showed up after. She was surprised that I still had my robe on. I told her I didn't know what to do next ( there were two tables in the room). She settled me into one of the tables and started the session. It was a French salt scrub session not a Korean scrub. I am okay with it. She was very thorough and I had probably one of the most thorough scrub ever ( I have been doing scrub sessions regularly at many places with different styles). After the session, I needed a rinse. The hot water did take a while to come out and the therapist here don't start the shower for you. The complimentary shampoo/conditioner and body wash were available but they are drug store products. I took another shower at home after. When I checked out and doing the tips, I was told that she was really just helping out and I was lucky. The pricing here is incredibly reasonable. Overall, the value here is pretty high. But you do want to adjust your expectations. Setup is a bit odd. Slightly cold in the shower room. Service could be better (no easy way to find people and lack of instructions between services). But value is good. I enjoyed my time here overall and people were friendly. read more

I came here to try their scalp therapy, which is common in Asia but has been catching on here! I was excited to visit spas that offer this service. But this review is based on that one visit! This place is only okay for this. My appt was with Apple. She's nice and she worked hard, and the head/shoulder massage was pretty good. But the overall experience was not very inspiring. It's not bad, but not great either. My gold standard is VN Beauty in LA (I feel okay sharing that since this place is in SoCal, otherwise, it's just rude!) I think these kinds of services are meant to be relaxing/pampering more than actually clinically therapeutic. With that in mind, WL just didn't really have the relaxation factor down. The water sound was LOUD, you can hear it rushing through the pipes. There was lots of banging and clattering as bottles, buckets, and whatever else was used were moved chaotically around my head, completely shattering any sense of serenity. And the head massage was done without the shampoo or conditioner's smoothing effect, so my hair was caught and pulled unnecessarily. It was just kind of uncomfortable overall. You know you're not enjoying spa when you're looking forward to it ending. Tbh, this is on par with my previous visit to WL for a foot massage years ago. Like... the place obviously has a much larger operation than an average spa, and kudos to them for that... but I just feel like they're not very intuitive about how to "touch" in a pampering or nurturing way. Their massage therapists aren't very good at reading the customers' bodies or delivering the right pressure, it's all a bit perfunctory, like they're just going through the motion. The caveat is I've only been here twice, and the first time was years ago. It's likely that other MTs and services are much better. The staff is nice enough, and there's lots of parking outside. read more

Terrible service and they ignore you when walking in. The lady in the front didn't acknowledge me or greet me. Just kept taking phone calls.

The massage itself was excellent, my therapist was skilled, professional, and did a great job. Unfortunately, my experience was significantly dampened by the front desk staff. When it came time to check out, the front desk employee was rude and unprofessional. When I stated the amount I wished to tip my massage therapist, she reacted with an audible sound and visible disbelief, which I found extremely inappropriate and disrespectful. Tipping is optional, and regardless of the amount, no customer should be judged or made to feel uncomfortable for their choice, especially when the service prices are already quite high. This interaction left a very bad impression and overshadowed what would have otherwise been a great visit. read more

My very first time to try the head and hair treatment here. Without any experience or expectation, I took out my jacket and put on their clean and cozy robe . Rolled into white clean and warm comforter, it is really comfortable setup. The treatment including the following Four steps: One: scalp health condition check (optional, up to you) with warm eye mask on ; Two: clean hair and head massage; Three: hair nourishment -- steaming and neck and hand massage and Four hair blow drying. ( for review purpose, I requested them to take pictures, and they are nicely accepted. Pictures worth thousands of words here). Some highlights on the four steps, the massage strength and point pressing was great, which helped me with my headache quite a lot. Meanwhile, the hair care products they use are really professional "Redken", after the treatment my hair look much nicer , also silky when I touched it. Highly recommended the beautiful professional head treatment lady - Franca. In one hour I collected both health and beauty benefits, definitely I would like to come back for it. Hope someday they can open a store in South Bay . read more

This was our first time here and we had a great experience. Staff was friendly and flexible. Our room had a 2 person hot tub. The bubble jets and heat were a perfect way to relax. The steam room/shower was one of the best showers I've had. We didn't feel rushed and everything was clean and welcoming. read more

Today I had an appointment with Ken, and I want to say that he is truly a professional at what he does. I work with horses and often experience tightness in my back muscles, which need regular relief. After Ken's hands worked their magic, I felt like a baby! I'm incredibly grateful for his work and professionalism. After my session, I genuinely wanted to leave a tip for my massage therapist, but the receptionist was quite tactless. I only had 20% of the total service amount with me, and she asked, "If you enjoyed the massage so much, maybe you'd like to tip more then?" That kind of question is usually considered inappropriate, and I felt uncomfortable. Still, I absolutely recommend this place and especially massage therapist Ken. He is a true professional. read more

While the massage was very good, my problem was with the price for the service I received. I booked and (paid for) my massage online. On their website it shows a picture of accupuncure and message for $179. I went to my message and my therapist came in with cups for cupping. I told her I was having accupunture NOT cupping. She left and then the front desk lady came back and said that this was their accupunture. That is was the cupping, I said okay thinking they were going to refund me a portion of my payment since on their website a message with cupping is $99.00. Well they didn't refund me the $80.00 extra I paid for not having accupuncture. Update: They called me and left a message that there was some confusion about the service and refunded the difference of $80.00 Thank you Water lounge! I will be back! read more

Love this place! Prices are great for what you get. I come here quite often and tend to purchase a package when I do. Helps to save a little money with the frequent visits my wife and I make. Emily at the front desk is the best. Always so happy to see us and welcome us. She never lets me make the mistake of paying too much for services by sowing me their price options that cover what I'm looking for. The salt sauna is great. And I can't name all the great masseuses here because I've had so many different ones since I started coming back in 2022. Whether I'm coming in for the 1 hour foot massage, or a 90 minute full body deep tissue massage, I always leave feeling rejuvenated. So blessed to have this place right here in my town. read more

It was my third time at Water Lounge Spa, but first time at the Millbrae location. Found parking right in front of the spa, took the elevator up to check in with the manager at the front counter. I made a reservation about a week prior for 3 facials and was given a heads up that for the deep cleaning option, the esthetician has to evaluate your face to see if it's good for your skin. We ended up getting the Collagen and Ultrasound Treatment instead. I got the 5 times bundle and was able to use the 3 times at my visit. You receive a card that you sign every time you visit to keep track of how many facials you have left. Im not really sure of the difference between the European facial and that treatment...It felt like the standard treatment: face massage, steam, scraped at my nose (painful but worth it), got into some problem spots around my temple, face mask, more face massage and also massaged my shoulders, head, ears, and neck. I felt totally relaxed and almost fell asleep listening to the soothing music while laying in the heated bed. I also had a milia removed for $10. Highly recommend booking with Apple! Timing was spot on. They offer water, tea and crackers at the end. My grandma wasn't able to lay flat on her back so they went out of their way to bring one of their sofa chairs inside the room so she can comfortably sit. Great service! I would recommend updating their website prices. read more

Warning: the elevators to go up to this spa are NOT SAFE! It has a permit that expired over 2 years ago. I have attached a picture as proof.

Got a Groupon deal and decided to give it a try. Easy to reserve and no hassle in using it. This place is on the second floor, very big! Their other location, San Mateo, has a jacuzzi pool, this site doesn't. Front staff is friendly and speaks Mandarin. After checking in, we were asked if we wanted to upgrade the massage from Swedish to deep tissue, I honestly had no idea of the differences so I said no. Then we were asked if we wanted to get the $9 special of hot stone, sea salt bag and aromatic oil. Our deal was 150 minutes of treatment and it started with an hour of foot massage. Unlike other Chinese foot massage places where they use herbal soup to soak the feet, this one only uses warm hot water. But the service was ok, they were able to hit the right spots for me. After that, we were led into the connecting room for full body massage. This lasted an hour with hot stone and oil. I couldn't smell how aromatic the oil is, so I had to assume they used that. Overall the massage was good and comfortable. After that, we were given a robe and led to the hot salt sauna room where it was decorated with salt along the wall and very heated benches to sit on. There's water and some crackers. After 30 minutes we were sweating! Nobody knocked on our door to remind us the time, but naturally it became too hot to stay and we came out. While we were looking/hoping for a shower place, someone led us to the shower room. We weren't sure if there's a lock on the shower room door, so we had to shower very quickly. There were 2 massage tables inside the shower room, very weird. Not much amenities other than the shower gel, shampoo and conditioner maybe (not well labeled). They did have slippers which was great since I wasn't dressed to get wet. Overall I would say the facility is huge like a maze (I got lost looking from the restroom from my room), but inside each room it's pretty basic. Not much decoration, just the plain and simple furniture. There's relaxing music playing the whole time. As for tips, there's a tip map at the front desk and tips are accepted by credit cards too; anywhere from $15-$30 per hour per person is the guide. I think the massage service is ok, with a bit dressing up of the facility it can easily get to a 4 star. read more

Worst massage of my life, im actually pretty pissed off. Lets give the experience a rundown. We get to the massage room, they show up 10 minutes late. Dude starts his session, randomly pushing around my back, and then moves to my neck for about 8 seconds, before touching my temples for 2-3 seconds, weird start but ok. Then for the next 30 minutes he goes between jamming his elbow into my freaking hip bones, not muscles, bonez, and randomly applying pressure to my kidneys? At this point im 99% sure this guy watched a 10 minute youtube tutorial on massages, and was sent on his way. Dude has no interest in anything going on, i can tell hes waiting for the hour to be over as much as me. When it comes to the extremities, its obvious he was shown what to do, he just didnt care. Literally the worst experience ive ever had. If youre reading this, i suggest you quit and find a new job. You ruined my sunday with your bs. Kick rocks. read more

Wonderful service. I had Sharon for my Swedish massage. She was consistently checking in with me and had a lovely warm energy.

I always have an excellent experience and truly attentive from the moment you walk in. The services are vast and exceptional and they are delivered with great care; I felt noticeably better afterward. The environment is clean, calming, and very welcoming. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality holistic care and outstanding service. read more

Having enjoyed my time at their San Mateo location, I thought I would have the same experience at the Millbrae location. I did not. 1. I saw two ladies simply rinse their hands in the restroom. No soap was involved, and they literally just turned the water on and ran them under it for a second. 2. My masseuse did only half my body scrub. He didn't scrub the front of my body. 3. This same masseuse only massaged the back half of my body and the front of my arms. He didn't touch my legs. 4. The esthetician left the room at least 7 times (no lie), was talking through my facial to the esthetician next to her that was doing my friend, and some guy kept coming to talk to her. Nothing about this experience was relaxing. It left me less relaxed than I was when I got there. Super disappointed. I told the front desk, and their solution was to offer me a free 30 minute sauna. No, thanks! read more

I LOVE the massage lady named Apple She is great!!!! Overall, this place is a complete hole in the wall, and you will be turned off by the appearance, but every single staff member I've had is above and beyond.

This is my go to spot Affordable service, great customer service, great massage service Even though it's a little less fancy in terms of appearance, I keep coming back because I always leave getting an 11/10 worthy massage read more

It was my second time coming here today and I had a bad experience. My first time was amazing, which is why I came back. I brought my boyfriend with me and everything went fine until after the massage. We went to the front desk lady to give a tip for the ladies that did our massage. We told them that we wanted to give them $10 each and the front desk lady says "can you at least give them $15" while pointing at the TIP SUGGESTION sign. Knowing the amount that we already had spent here, her saying this made us feel pressured and uncomfortable. I completely understand that tips are appreciated, but being asked for a higher amount after we had already decided what to give just did not feel right. I wanted to share this so management is aware, because it took away from what was otherwise a great experience. read more

Typically do to a different massage place but wanted to try this out since it's right next to the gym. I decided to get the Swedish massage and my bf got the foot massage both for 60 min. I was led to a private room and told the massage lady that I wanted more focus on my neck and lower back. She would knead me constantly with her knuckles and since she was bony it wasn't comfortable. The pounding on the back and head massage was extremely uncomfortable. Never had someone pull on my head and limbs in that kind of way. Like I was a rag doll and then suddenly left to flop down. I also insisted I didn't want my lower body done but she kept insisting and had me remove my pants which I didn't feel comfortable doing but because of the language barrier, i just agreed. I came out of this in more pain than when I walked in. My bf said the first 10-15 min of his 60 min foot massage was just soaking his foot and when he told the guy to put more pressure he said it was still weak like being tickled. When I got home and took a shower I noticed soreness in all parts of my body and my bf noticed a bruise on my neck!!! I've gotten massages and never walked out with a bruise. Will never come back read more

First of all, the front desk person is almost always late to work, which is EXTREMELY annoying. Secondly, while I appreciate the convenience of the new online booking system, the front desk person is always unaware of the online reservations, even if the reservations are made days in advance. In addition, the online system allows you to choose a specific staff member. But I am told by the front desk person that the staff selection actually doesn't show up on her computer. I would give this place 5 stars I don't always have to wait for the front desk lady to show up, and if they improve the online booking system read more

Not sure why this place has such a low rating. We opted for the couples massage. When we got there we got this amazing foot massage together. The guy really got into my foot and made me feel all looose. After the foot massage, we got the full body massage. That was pure bliss the entire time. The guy was really working into me. I felt my body become more and more relaxed. Finally we got some water and a little snack while sitting in the sauna room. We got a great deal from Groupon and it came out to be less than 100 per person for the couples massage. Again, not sure why this place is rated so low. Worth a try! read more

I got the 120 minute full body massage and sauna package. Nancy was my masseuse and she was awesome. She found troubled muscles with her own hands and it was worth every penny.

It's not the most modern spa, but the service was truly amazing and I will be back. read more

Massage was OK but same as all the other reviews here, the receptionist will bully you into tipping more. I am someone who is frugal and sometimes would like to enjoy good things in life like a massage. I usually tip between 15-20usd but the receptionist initially didn't accept it and referred to a sign giving a suggestion. Instead of being thankful I got a disappointed face from her when I said I'll give 20usd instead of what was suggested 30-40usd. Will not come back here. It's ridiculous. read more

We went to claim our Groupon for 60mins foot spa, didn't claim the 30mins hot sauna anymore since I came from yoga and just wanna have a relaxation. But they soak our feet for 30mins and massage our foot for 15-mins then did our shoulder for 2mins and that's it, our 60 mins foot spa massage was done‍soo disappointed with this place, your money is not worth it. Just go somewhere else, And this 2 man massage us saying that they're stronger coz they're men, but they're so lousy, despite of telling them that I like a little stronger but still presses like a so hollow, omg! I just wasted my time, and money with this place, the whole experience was a huge waste of my time. NEVER AGAIN COMING BACK TO THIS PLACE THIS PLACE IS A HUGE MISTAKE!!! Don't waste your money in here. read more
