We chose this spa because they also have a pool. The massages were great. But you can get a great…read moremassage in a lot of places! The pool didn't have many chairs - we were lucky to get two, other people that paid to use the spa facilities for the day didn't have anywhere to sit. Service was terrible. Our server spent a lot of time chatting with large parties and we couldn't even get a drink. Then she went on lunch for an hour and there was no employee in the area. It took me - no joke - 90 minutes to get my bill. And they keep your card so I couldn't leave. I almost missed my dinner reservation. I would never go back. There are so many better options - don't have your special occasion spa day ruined by picking Vea.

I did a quick…read morescan of the Yelp reviews before booking, and that's what led me to make a reservation with Elizabeth-- and Elizabeth alone was what sold me on becoming a member. I went in not knowing how I'd feel about the place and walked out a full-blown member. I can be really sensitive to scents, so I love and appreciate how natural all of their products smell. I was also a little worried about the "shared room" concept, but meanwhile I felt like I was alone on a beach somewhere beautiful and on vacation. They do such a great job with the white noise too -- actual relaxing waves crashing on a beach, not the annoying kind lol. When I called last night, I spoke with someone who was so sweet and helpful (I wish I got her name), and she answered all of my questions. Then today for my appointment, I was greeted by Ky, who helped me sign up for the membership at the end. I swear everyone here just has this warm, kind, welcoming energy to them, which is so important for a place like this I can't wait to come back!

Can't believe i have been going here 2 years now. The quality and care of the team at this location…read moreis still top notch. All therapists are great, but i have moved to Elizabeth V as my primary therapist as she has an aura about her that glows. She truly cares about not just the quality of your massage but your post massage care as well. She gives advice about things you can do at home to work on problem areas. You do need to book her at least 2 weeks in advance (yup shes that good). Ive never had an unpleasant experience here in 2 years, Everyone on the staff is kind and courteous. Its always extremely clean welcoming. Very easy to relax into your massage. 10/10

This place is absolutely gorgeous. It almost fit the complete bill for being at a high end hotel…read moreright by the water. My boyfriend and I booked a couples massage here on a sunny Saturday. Having booked the service, we were allowed to utilize the amenities located in the spa. In order to get to the spa (if you're not staying in the hotel), you had to drive into the front entrance of the hotel. This is located on the side opposite of PCH. The only real option to park is through valet service which the spa takes care of as part of the cost of the service. Our massages were booked for 2pm but we arrived around 11:30am to have lunch and enjoy the amenities. The food was pretty good and the servings were plentiful. We got a chicken Cesar wrap and the charcuterie board. You're able to eat and have the food brought over just like you were ordering room service, it was definitely room service cost and they charged for delivery to the garden. After we finished eating, we lounged in the garden to catch some sun. This is the part where I say that it almost fit the bill... the weather loved tents providing shade had mold on the canvas. Maybe it was just weather warn because it does stay outside all year round? Not sure but I'm thinking that it definitely looked like mold to me. After the sun, we enjoyed the indoor amenities of steam room, sauna and jacuzzi. For me, there a few other patrons enjoying the amenities but my boyfriend said that he pretty much had the men's locker room all to himself. My favorite part about the amenities was the shower. The shower had a rainfall shower, a handheld shower and then several steam shower heads on three of the walls. The products in the shower smelled great and I would definitely use them again. For our massages, we have the couples suite. The room was absolutely gorgeous complete with 2 massage tables, 2 sinks, a gorgeous tub, 2 separate showers this beautiful stone piece on the far wall. Massages were great and relaxing. After the massages, our massage therapists led us out to the garden again to pretty much recover from the service and it was definitely needed. Upon checking it out from our service, we perused the gift shop. There were cute clothing pieces there as well as the products that were utilized as part of some of the services. When paying, they let us know that the gratuity was already covered in the cost so that was nice. Given the cost for each service, I thought it was a generous but also fair tip. Because we finished late afternoon, we decided to walk down to the pier and venture around there. We were able to keep the car there and the hotel bellman allowed us to store our gym bags in the hotel as well, all at no extra cost. If I was looking to splurge again, I would probably come back. What would sweeten the deal is if we were able to use the hotel pool too but they said that it is only allowed during the weekdays when the pool isn't too busy.

It's been a long time since I've been to the K-spa or Korean spa/bathhouse…read more This was my first time at this location, which is near the Diamond Jamboree plaza. I got the body scrub and massage for $135 since it includes admission, which is normally $40. Prior to the service, they recommend you soak in the hot pool for approximately 20-30 minutes. The facility is separated with a women's and men's area, and once you enter, you pay for your admission or service, put your things into the locker, strip naked, and head to the shower area where you are required to shower before you do anything. For just the admission alone, you get access to a variety of saunas, hot and cold pools, a steam room, and a common area with heated floors for relaxation. You get a time limit of 6 hours, which is way more than enough. At my appointment time, the workers, who are dressed in black bras and panties, call out your number (which is also your locker key number) and you head to the service area. The woman scrubbed off my dead skin for 30 minutes while applying a quick 5 minute facial mask, then had me shower off and come back. Next, she applied oil all over my body and gave me a mini massage which basically just loosened a few of my knots in my shoulder and back area. It was not really relaxing, but I only care about the results. :) Then she poured some type of warm milk all over my body, and poured some into my hand to wash my face with. She also shampooed my hair at the end... and I was asked to shower off my body again. I then headed to the common area where the co-ed saunas were and tried out the Salt room, the Forest room, Ondol room, Fire Room, and Ice Room for a short period. I spent a total of about 3 hours there with the service time included. Since I was short on time, I will get another service in the future, but come earlier to use the sauna rooms first, maybe try out their on-site restaurant, then get my service at the end and go home from there. I really enjoyed this day of pampering at the Korean spa. I just wished the guests weren't all on their phones and being loud. People were having full on conversations in the common area and whispering loudly in the sauna rooms. Technology has somewhat changed the Korean spa experience for me, which used to be more relaxing... but this was still great for the price. Happy spa day! Yelp Review #43- 2026

This was my first Korean spa experience, so part of this review is definitely from the perspective…read moreof someone who had no idea what they were doing. I came here with a group of girlfriends for my friend's birthday, and none of us had been to a Korean spa before. Honestly, it was confusing from the start. There wasn't much direction on where to go, what order to do things in, how the facilities worked, or what you were supposed to do if you booked extra services. We also came with one guy and a group of girls, so we didn't realize right away that we'd all be separated. Between that, people going off for body scrubs or massages, and everyone trying to figure it out as we went, I don't think we used the spa the way it was meant to be used at all. We ended up kind of bouncing around, asking what to do next, hanging out in the common area for a bit, and then leaving. The actual body scrub/massage add-on was fine, but overall it just felt disorganized and not very beginner-friendly. I've since seen friends go back and actually know what they're doing -- using the pools, sauna rooms, eating afterward, spending real time there -- and I can see how it could be a much better experience if you know the flow. But for a first-timer, especially with a group, I wish there had been a little more guidance.

The spa facility is absolutely beautiful and immaculate, and the service is top notch. You truly can't beat the view and location of this place. I enjoyed the Rejuvenation Aromatherapy Massage with added Himalayan salt stones. My therapist was kind and personable; she communicated well with me about my needs and preferences. After my treatment, I rested in the comfortable lounge for a bit and then enjoyed the jacuzzi, steam room, and sauna. You also get access to the outdoor pool with spa treatment, and I went to check that out as well. The service is excellent at the resort, and I received warm and welcoming assistance from everyone I encountered. Note that parking for visitors is valet, $15 with spa validation.

I have been to Pelican Hill so many times (for so many different things/events/performances around…read moreChristmas/dining etc) - finally came here (at the spa!) basically to do 'research' for a big group upcoming spa/wknd villa staycation trip. it was unbelievably amazing at the spa. I could not believe how wonderful it was - and i don't know what has taken me so long to visit. Hands down, my favorite spa in the OC. I went in on a quiet Wednesday morning, it was divine. the service was attentive. i ordered in the lounge and they brought everything to me there to eat after my treatments. it was immaculate. food was yum. drinks were great. There did seem to be, a lot of guests that came in just after lunch (after golfing maybe? tennis?) on the women's side. I could see upon exiting that maybe the attendants were having some trouble keeping up with emptying trash and picking up towels and glasses/cleaning shower stalls in a timely manner. maybe they all went on break at the same time? Angela was my massage therapist - she was a phenom! i am really looking forward to being back. everyone at the pools, spa, valet, concierge, grill restaurant - A plus!! thank you for a wonderful day of relaxation.

I originally came in because of a promotion and did not expect to be this impressed…read more Brooke gave me one of the best facials I have ever had. She was incredibly thorough, professional, and made the entire experience feel elevated and relaxing at the same time. She explained what she was doing, used amazing products, and my skin looked and felt noticeably better immediately after. It was not just a basic facial. It felt customized and intentional. Afterward, I met with Dani to go over package options and I was genuinely blown away. She is extremely knowledgeable and took the time to educate me without any pressure or sales push. She answered all of my questions in detail and even went the extra mile to help me get fully set up with everything, making sure my accounts were configured properly. That level of care and professionalism is rare. From start to finish, the service felt premium, thoughtful, and client focused. You can tell they truly care about delivering results and building long term relationships. Highly recommend.

As a former client with very little experience in skincare, I was convinced to purchase a $700…read morepackage that included four facials and skincare creams that I was told could be refilled. At the time, I didn't know any better, so I expected professional treatments that would noticeably brighten my skin, improve firmness, and address imperfections--especially considering the price. Unfortunately, that wasn't my experience. The treatment rooms were extremely small, and the facials themselves were very underwhelming. The two aestheticians who performed my treatments seemed to put in very little effort. Each facial consisted of a basic cleanse or scrub, some steam, and a mask--nothing that felt different from something I could do at home. To make matters worse, during my final appointment I asked about refilling the creams that were included in my package. I was told that the refill period had already expired, even though only a few months had passed. That was never clearly explained when I purchased the package. Overall, I felt misled and taken advantage of. When I told my current aesthetician about the experience, she initially thought I had to be exaggerating because the package and services sounded so unreasonable. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this business.
