What a gorgeous hidden gem! I was really disappointed to find that the spa at our beautiful hotel in Monterey was all booked up! I began my google search. Came across Monterey Day Spa during my search. They have a wonderful selection of treatments at your fingertips. Online booking was easy, they had a perfect time slot available for me, held my appointment, booked it in five minutes! Wow - I thought that was too easy. Upon arrival everyone was courteous and it was very comfortable while waiting. I will definitely be back. The best facial I’ve ever had. Thank you Monterey Day Spa!!! 🌺. ML.

I booked my husband and myself a couples massage for our honeymoon. The staff was extremely kind and professional and even went above and beyond to make the experience special for our honeymoon. The massages were just what we needed after the stress of wedding planning - they felt amazing and were very relaxing. Highly recommended!

First time here.+ Easy to book an appointment online+ Got a relaxing manicure and pedicure by Lan who was exceptionally considerate and attentive!+ Nice wellness ambience. One of the best in Monterey Ive been to.

My partner and I had a fantastic couples massage by Lisa and Ian. A friend gifted us the Sweetheart package and it was even more fantastic than I thought it would be. From the friendly front end staff, to the excellent level of cleanliness throughout the spa, everything was so nice and we really were able to relax and enjoy ourselves.

I had an amazing experience getting a facial last week! I believe her name was Catherine who did it and she was incredibly sweet and informative. I told her it was my first facial and she made it a great experience. She talked about all the stuff she was doing to my face and why it was beneficial, she even helped me tweak my at home skincare routine to better suit my skins needs. I recommend her 100% and will be booking with her again in the future!

My visit was over a stretch of three days. Booking through their website was very easy and, contrary to a few other reviews (on another website), they did keep my reservation. I booked them months in advance so there were no issues.Day 1: Shellac Manicure and PedicureThe manicurist did a good job. There were edges of my fingernails that werent completely covered, but its only noticeable if you really stare at them. They have massage chairs for pedicures and that was nice, but be careful - the chair might try to assault you if you dont mess with the settings LOL!Day 2: 60min Swedish MassageThat was ultra relaxing and Irene was able to get knots out that I know had been sitting there for YEARS.Day 3: Oceana Clarifying Facial and Lemon Blossom Sugar ScrubThis one was the best. Brandy was SUPER friendly, calm and inviting. She was able to help me get a better idea of whats going on with my skin and recommended some good products to me. She was also able to think on the fly about which products they offered would best suit the skin on my face.As for the sugar body scrub, I think I almost fell asleep. Thats how great it was!She always made it a point to ask permission before moving on to other steps that I might have found uncomfortable, and she checked in about the temperature of the towels or equipment she used on me.

Wow!!! I had an AMAZING experience with Ashley! Originally I was going to get a Swedish massage, but after talking about what my body felt like it needed, she recommended a deep tissue massage with the CBD rub. I also had booked a facial with her. She was super friendly, amazing at her craft, and pretty much put me to sleep. I would totally go back!

Im so glad I went to this place! I treated myself for Mothers Day and got a massage, facial, and back facial. I wish I had booked sooner so I couldve gotten my nails done (I guess she books really far ahead of time). Everyone was so nice, and I felt like a million bucks after leaving. Ill definitely be back!

The complete experience was absolutely delightful. I would definitely do this again.

Second time visitor. Great couples massage experience again - upgrade to a CBD massage for stress. Loved it. I got a facial with Catherine and she not only did a great job but also took the time to educate me with tips to help maintain my skin health and reduce skin problems. Will return again on my next trip to Monterey.

Not Professional and Poor CommunicationI booked a group reservation in March and confirmed via phone they were able to accomodate a large group. I followed up via email with no response, followed up via phone and they have to cancel my entire group reservation. I understand scheduling during a pandemic can be difficult but I do not appreciate confirming they can host me and then not communicating they need to cancel.

Nice place. Clean and staff was wonderful. My husband and I did they couples massage definitely recommend planning on going back for a facial soon

It was a racial discrimination place, The people here are very unfriendly,Very expensive,And the disrespect, the terrible experience, will never come back

Amazing experience.The mood is great had the sweetheart spa special.Soak in a Jacuzzi tub than had a 60 min swedish massage.Massage therapist are great at what they do .Left feeling like I was floating.

Great spot to get a wonderful massage

The couples package was wonderful. My wife and I felt totally pampered and cared for.

After a bad experience at another spa, I was ecstatic to get ahold of Carey, the owner, to get an an appointment here. What a life-altering experience! Carey was very attentive and personable. She listened to my request and my situation. She texted and emailed to keep me updated and ensure I was cared for.When I got to the appointment, what a great experience! From the moment we (a friend and I were traveling for work) walked in, the fragrance of the spa was so soothing and pleasant. We were greeted immediately and it was very beautiful. The owner checked us in and introduced each of us to our therapists.I was cared for by Elexia. Wow. Her voice was so soothing and her skills were above and beyond what could only be described and heaven-sent.She knew exactly where I hurt, how hard to push, and just where my therapeutic edge was without even asking. I came in for my appointment in a lot of pain and high stress. I left as an entirely new person, completely relaxed and in euphoria from the pain and stress relief.Everything from the front door to the linen in the rooms was carefully selected and gave a wonderful feeling of zen.I will ABSOLUTELY be returning, as I am now a member of their loyalty program! This was the BEST experience ever. My only complaint is that I cannot take them back home (east coast) with me!

My husband and I just had (BY FAR) the BEST couples message for our anniversary we have ever had. In all the years we’ve gone for these, this exceeded our expectation. We’ve had some good ones but this was fantastic!! Sara and Lisa are amazing. The temperature, pressure, aroma, comfort, and atmosphere are top notch. We will definitely need to come back when we come back into town. An amazing experience!

They have bad customer service I was charge 210 for a service I did not attend and the service was 310 they gave me a hard time and just ruined mine and my wife’s honeymoon I recommend not booking any appointments this was probably the worst I been treated very unprofessional 🤬

I pampered with the Tranquil Retreat package. Had one of top massages in my life here with Lisa. It was loving, nurturing. She has healing hands and a good soul.Had a great facial with Alex. Gentle and great at explaining the products. Unique facial massage technique. Definitely coming back here

Clean, quiet, friendly and relaxing

I received my first maternity massage here. Ethan was very professional and made it a comfortable and relaxing experience. I felt my needs were met and beyond. Would definitely come back!

Amazing and relaxing

My Wife and I came here for the 60 Minute Couples Swedish Massage. Our Massage Therapists were Lisa and Tatiana. They were both fantastic. It was my first massage ever and Tatiana did an amazing job and made sure I was comfortable and relaxed. The massage it self was great and after 60 minutes I was relaxed and calm. My Wife and I will definitely return.

Fantastic spa! Clean, comfy, friendly, pleasant environment. Lisa is very skilled at massage and facials, and Tatiana does great stone massage. I will go back next time I visit Monterey.

Staff were very friendly and my facial was great! Shout out to Alexandra for that. Will definitely return

James was amazing! Highly recommend him if you prefer medium-deep pressure massages. I dont live in the area, but would definitely come back again.

Relaxing. Therapists are personable and ask about your needs rather than assuming what you need. Quiet, clean and friendly. Would recommend to anyone.

Got waxing and deep tissue massage - both fantastic, waxing was very thorough and efficient and they are great at putting you at ease while a total stranger smears hot goo on your lady bits. Deep tissue massage was wonderful, went to bed and had the best nap of my life. Would do again if Im in California.

Spa itself is very well kept. I had a Swedish massage that was ok. There was too much stretching and use of long single point pressure moments and not enough massaging.My mother, on the other hand, LOVED her facial.

In Monterey visiting for a few days and easily booked an appointment online with Monterey Day Spa for my 2 sisters and myself for massages. We three each had general massages and were all extremely happy with the high caliber of our massage therapists. My massage was one of the best massages I have ever had and the therapist listened to what my body told her and performed the best firm massage. This Spa is the place to go if your in Monterey and want top notch services.

Ive been to Monterey Day Spa 4 times and I highly recommend it. Go there!!! For starters, the environment of the spa is sooo relaxing. I was given the most wonderful facial ever, from Alex. She almost put me to sleep and she left my skin refreshed and glowing...simply awesome! Also, Ive experienced many pedicures, and I received the best pedicure of my life from Mari at Monterey Day Spa. She is very nice, gentle, thorough, and does exceptional nail work! And her massage & sugar scrub feels amazing... These ladies know their stuff, and really take pride in their work. Thank you so much Alex and Mari... A+++

So fun and friendly. Staff were awesome. James was great! My massage was so relaxing. Thank you!

Wonderful spa experience, had a couples message with James and Sara.

It was my husbands first massage and facial, it surpassed his expectations and the staff was kind and professional. It was so relaxing during the massage and we came out feeling like a new person!

Greeting was poor both days but the staff providing services was amazing. Music is relaxing, no frills, no beverages, great nail polish colors (rich, deep, and unique). Massage was the best Ive ever had.

I really enjoyed my massage here. The get booked up in advance, I was able to schedule something the week of July 4th but not many spots were available and nothing the day-of. Professional and relaxing atmosphere, luxe bathroom.

We had a fantastic experience here with sweetheart package and hot rocks massage with Megyn and Martha for our anniversary! It was absolutely incredible from the time we walked in the door and well worth it! This was my second time here and well definitely be back ! Great place with wonderful people who know exactly what theyre doing!

Kathrine did a thorough facial and waxing. One of the best facials Ive had even at top resorts and spas. Very nice place, with reasonable pricing.

I got a wax from Alexandra Fletcher. She is very kind and professional and did a very nice and thorough job. The price seems a little high but I think that would be the case anywhere in Monterey. I would definitely recommend her to others!

Omg I received the best facial EVER! It was so relaxing. Alex did my facial. She described every product she used in detail. The music was really calming. I definitely will be returning

I got a facial from Rachel and a manicure from Amber. All the staff at Monterey Day Spa were friendly and professional. My facial was heavenly and soo relaxing. Manicure was wonderful...I love my nails now! I will definitely be going back soon. Thank you Rachel and Amber :)

Monterey day spa is truly a gem ! From start to finish we had a great experience . We called around several spas to check availability and inquire about pricing and packages. The receptionist was friendly and let me know what was available and advised me they do not hold appointments so we booked to secure our ideal time. We received a confirmation email with address and spa reminders like “plan for weekend traffic “ which made us plan to leave town extra early and good thing because monterey gets heavy weekend traffic. We arrived on tile and received massages, facials and pedicures package. THE BEST and amazing pricing. Many Other spas didn’t offer pedicures or couples rooms. Everyone was friendly and gave us great service! Thank you for adding to our Perfect weekend!

Perfect place for a quiet day. Massage, facial and mani/pedi package was beyond restful. This place caters to the client. Would definitely come back.

Very dissatisfied with service. Attempted to book a couples massage, but I called to confirm and was told it was canceled by mistake. I spoke with the supposed owner and was told it was an accident and there was nothing that could be done to help me. Thanks for nothing and disappointing my newlywed best friends.

My hisband and I got the Sweetheart Special. Very relaxing atmosphere, friendly staff and top massage.

When I travel, I like to enjoy a spa day toward the end of my trip. This wouldve been a meh experience, however, the ending really made it poor. I booked a package with a body scrub and massage along with a spa pedicure. The robe that was left for me to put on after my scrub so I could walk to the shower had a sleeve inside out. Even though my appointment was at their opening time, their was a basket FULL of used tissues in the bathroom/shower room. The shower wasnt started for me so I had to wait for the water to heat up.I returned for my massage which was ok. After the massage, I was given a spa gift of the dry brush she used on me and two plastic condiment cups filled with body scrub for me to take. What am I supposed to do with two flimsy salad dressing type cups of body scrub? They arent sealed. I certainly cant put them in my suitcase.I was then told thanks and to have a good day. I had to go back to the counter and interrupt two employees conversation to tell them I had booked another treatment.My final straw was when another employee interrupted my pedicure to ask if the woman doing it wanted anything from Starbucks. Are you kidding me? I knew I shouldve waited until I got to San Francisco to go to a spa.The massage part of the Spa Pedicure involved zero pressure and really was just a woman running lotion on my legs. Theres no dryer so I was stuck just sitting there while this other woman walked up and asked me to settle my account.

We scheduled a Sparty (a spa party) for our office to celebrate a special birthday. It was incredible!! What a wonderful way to spend time with Co-workers in such a relaxed, calming atmosphere. I honestly can not criticize a single thing about this place. The entire place is SPOTLESS. Everyone was so professional, clean, and did such a wonderful job. I personally received a facial from Kathryn and a massage from Alice and they were both phenomenal! My co-workers had other specialists and everyone was extremely happy with their services. I never felt so relaxed or so well-taken care of at a spa. To top it off, it was raining outside when we were leaving and Carey ordered us an Uber so we could continue our fun day without having to walk to lunch in the rain! It was completely unexpected and just goes to show how thoughtful and dedicated they are to making a great experience. I Cant wait to go again!! Thank you MDS!!

This is my new favorite place for everything relaxing. From fabulous pedicures to massages. If you havent checked them out yet, you are definitely missing out!

This place is beautiful and very relaxing. Second time and will be visiting again for sure. Alex and Allura are amazing, as well as everyone that helps.

Amazing couples massage with Heidi and Alexia!! This is a lovely spa space. Fair prices. Excellent amd helpful customer service with Kyra over the phone. Great nail services from Anna. Definitely check this place out.

Great service and good prices.

Got some pre-wedding nail painting done here the day before and the gel polish is still on me.Everyone on the staff was very sweet and my entire group had a lovely time hanging out for a little bit of pampering.

The Day Spa is beautiful, relaxing and well run, very clean, true customer service, and reasonable prices. I am a regular customer for the spa shellac manicure and the spa pedicure - the new Fruit and Floral pedicure is fantastic! My manicurist is Anna and she does a fabulous job! It is all you can imagine in a great mani and pedi! I am very fortunate to have found this establishment and the associates providing the services.

I called and scheduled an appointment for 115pm for a deep tissue. i had specific needs which i wrote down and verbally expressed to the therapist. she worked the wrong side and did this swedish style with her fore arms with very little pressure. i stopped the massage 45 min into the 90 min. when i told the front desk, the woman there, who was the OWNER i found out later, did not care or apologize. she simply charged my card 85 dollars for 45 minutes. i called to talk to the manager but he was with a client. i was told that he would call back. no such luck.and lastly while i was sitting there i could here employees cussing in the back, the halls echo and you can here it from the front .. and i heard every word. Avoid this place, its a waste of money. Also read their POOR yelp reviews and you can see that Im not the only peron who experienced bad service and horrible massages.

Got a gift for my finance and she loved it. She got the hot stone massage. I will be back again,.

My experience was ok at this spa. I arrived at 3:15-3:20. I had a 90 minute massage scheduled for 3:30 which got sarted 10 minutes late. The therapist stopped at 5:00. So instead of a 90 minute session, I had an 80 minute. I informed the receptionist of the shorted time. She proceeded to charge me for a full 90 minutes but I stated the problem again. She did end up taking some money off, so it did make up for it. Overall, I was satisfied with their service regarding this problem

Came here for some relaxing massages after kayaking for a few hours and it was exactly what we needed.

Facial was just what I needed.

Ive been in the beauty industry for over 20 years. Ive always worked at full service salons. Ive had many facials. The facial Alura gave me on Tuesday Oct 6th 2015 was hands down the most relaxing experience in my life. Next time I visit or past by Monterey Ill be calling Alura for sure.

Had an injury from working out and this really helped me get back on track to heal and relax

Love the services and friendly staff. I cannot wait to go back.

Got a spa pedicure. It was so relaxing, I fell asleep.

Amazing.

Super professional place
