This is a wonderful spa! I got a signature facial and it was amazing! (Could have done without the products sales pitch however). The facilities are wonderful, & the bistro is very tasty. A tad overpriced, but given the pool, spa, sauna, steam room, etc., its worth the splurge every once in a while. More

The deep tissue massage was truly the ultimate relaxation - particularly enjoyed Bess (we called her Blessing the entire week thanks to her healing hands) and Angela (she became Angelique since she was our gift from God) and we alternated between the two if either wad available. The healing arts masters from the Chopra center took massage to a,spiritual experience... More

I liked it all. I just wish I had a friend with me to enjoy it even more. The facial was the best I've had. The facility was lovely. More

The massage was wonderful. Maria was gentle so it was not uncomfortable like so many other massage locations! I would highly recommend her for people that prefer a relaxing and gentle massage More

Great pedicure, massage, and facials. Attentive, but not overbearing in pushing products. One of the best I have been to! More

I spent an entire day at this spa as I read the reviews on travel and leisure magazine raving about this location. I had two services and I was not thoroughly impressed. The facilities are beautiful but nothing extraordinary that you wouldn't find at a "resort an spa" location. I have traveled to many spas around California and the world... More

I have visited La Costa Spa several times. The spa is beautiful and elegant. For $60 you can use the spa facilities all day. If you want a facial or massage, that is extra. On the weekends a 5 minute salt body scrub is included in the $60. Well worth a visit if you are a spa person. More

It's a bit pricey for me but so far this place has given me the best facial ever. Some of the other spa-goers appeared a bit snooty but aside from that the employees were nice, no up-sell pressure and a very clean, relaxing experience. More
