Review from Lori K.

After spending a day here, I'm really not sure if there's another spa that comes close to being as luxurious and relaxing. For a while, I thought Burke Williams was that place, but as soon as I stepped into the Spa at Pebble Beach, I knew I was in for something very special.
The amenities here are amazing. My favorite was the sanctuary room, which is honestly one of the most relaxing places I've ever seen. The room is surrounded windows, which allow you to gaze out at the peaceful surroundings. The fire pit is centrally located in the room and surrounded by comfy lounge chairs complete with cozy blankets and magazines. What a way to relax! The rest of the facility is loaded with other relaxing amenities, such as the jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, outdoor heated pool, and relaxing sitting areas. There are refreshment stations scattered around the facility with water, iced tea, and fruit. The locker room is clean and spacious. The women's make-up room has everything you'll need to get ready after your treatment. The shower rooms are clean and complete with shampoo, conditioner, etc.
The services I had were amazing. My massage was super relaxing and my facial left my skin smooth and glowing. Both my massage therapist and esthetician were fantastic. Although, I can't say that the services alone were totally worth the heft price. Yes, all services here are very pricey, but if you just remind yourself where you are, it may seem a little more justifiable.
So, if you're looking to splurge on a day of pampering, look not further. The Spa at Pebble Beach is the place for you! -

All I scheduled here was a sports massage and the craniosacral balancing. I spent about four hours though just enjoying all the spa amneties...From their sanctuary area with a fire pit, to the conservatory with hot tea and snacks available, to the hot tub and steam rooms. This is by far one of the cleanest spas I have ever been to.. and the maid staff were very impressive! As soon as I got into the Jacuzzi in the ladies room, the staff was there to put a towel down for me when I got out!
The massage I got from Roger was strong. He gave me a great deep tissue massage and seemed to be very experienced and know exactly what he was doing. Typically I don't like it when the masseur constantly tries to strike up a conversation while you're trying to relax, and he was not like this at all. That makes the massage all that much better!
I was very curious about the craniosacral balancing, so I decided to give it a try... It was very different, like no experience I've ever had before... The whole goal of this balancing is to get the fluids from your brain flowing better down your spine. I must say he did something good, because I have felt great after and feel a tremendous amount of tension in my neck and shoulders area that has been released. -

It's hard to write a review, when you're still in a spa coma
My senses are still dulled from the amazing room aroma
From the picturesque entrance to the sanctuary room and fire pit
and of course in my facial how she extracted every zit!
I fell in love with it all, from the gym to help me get fit
and the cocktails with my mani was definiltey a hit
The amenities were over the top galore
I wanted all the services and kept ordering more
The staff is very friendly and knows all their stuff
You feel so relaxed, it was hard to get off my duff
Already looking forward to my next visit here
My credit card bill will be the only thing I fear! -

I wish I could do this day all over again. My husband and I went here to celebrate our anniversary and stayed at The Lodge. Upon arrival we were immediately upgraded to a fabulous suite on the 19th hole! Trying not to jump for joy right there, we could not wait to get to our suite! Needless to say, the entire weekend was like a dream come true and we were treated like royalty everywhere we went. I highly recommend their room service, you will not better!
The Spa was an added bonus for me while my husband went golfing. I had a wonderful massage in a magnificent atmosphere. Thank you PB, you're truly are memorable and fantastic! -

I go to the Pebble beach spa at least once a year for a business event. This is truly how a spa experience should go. It's a comfortable, soothing environment with plenty of staff around to help you.
I have had massages and facials there and every time it has been a great experience. The massage therapists are very professional and create a calming environment for your massage.The estheticians are very knowledgable and are very good at customizing your facial to go with your skins needs.
The only con is that this is very pricey spa as it is at Pebble Beach! But if you can afford it you won't be disappointed. -

Absolutely fabulous experience. The personnel were top notch. The entire Pebble Beach resort was fabulous!!
The only reason I did not give it a perfect 5 stars was that no one was on-hand to greet us when we first came in. There were 4 of us, and each of us looked around for a couple of minutes before we were finally greeted. After that, it was perfect.
The round lounge with the gi-normous firepit was my favorite. :) -

I think this is what heaven is.
I booked a half day at the spa, the package was called Walk in the Forest. It included a citrus scrub, the signature pebble stone massage and a 50 minute facial.
The facilities are impeccable. The facility is fully decked out with jacuzzi, wet and dry sauna, showers, and vanity areas filled wtih nice hair dryers, curling irons and styling products. My favorite tho has to be the showers. It was a big rain head that had such amazing water pressure. I really felt relaxed in the shower. The shower was one of my favorite parts of the facility.
So onto my actual services. I loved getting the scrub. You are in this "wet room". They have all sorts of shower/water heads in this room. They scrub you down, then rinse you off with this bar that had like 5 water heads on it across your body. It is so relaxing, something about laying down while water is rained on your body and someone washing you. Plus my skin was like silk afterward. The pebble massage was a hot stone massage and it was very good. The thing is I get massaged at least once a week, so its not as special. Finally I finished with a nice facial. I old the facialist nothing extreme, just a relaxing one and she complied so not much of extractions.
Overall, a wonder 4+ hours I was there at the spa. If my man comes back for golf, he will know where to find me. -

This is truly of the best spas I have been to. The resort/location is gorgeous, and the spa was large, clean, so so relaxing, and overall beautiful.
I loved the massage I received here, and the lounge/waiting/steam area was so tranquil. Writing this review makes me think it is time to plan a golf/spa trip here with my man very soon.Listed in: Spa Time

I don't give 5 stars easily, but this no question for me.
My husband and friends had set a golf tee time for Spanish Bay yesterday, but he really wanted me to golf with him, but I had sustained an injury to my fingers and could not play for a while. Still, he wanted me to be there with him. So he booked me a spa day at The Spa at Pebble Beach. At first, I was concerned about the cost, which is very pricy, but now I know it is worth every penny.
I arrived 1 hour before my scheduled massage and was shown to the ladies locker room immediately. The hostess showed me around in all the amenities; hot tub, sauna, steam room, shower, makeup room, and they even have a aroma cleansing room. Then they show me the waiting area and the Conservatory. First impression is the place is clean,service is impeccable, and friendly. I use the hot tube for 20 min then went to the cleansing room to cool off. It was so amazing. It's a room that is designed to be noise free and slightly chill to cool you off. Then I went to the waiting room and it is designed with lots of comfy couches and lots of cool lemon water for you to drink. Then my massus greeted me in the lobby and took me into the massage room.
She asked some questions about any injuries, how I like my massage, how often I have massages...etc. Then my session started. It was wonderful. I had the Hole in one package so it has a 80 min massage + reflexology....I was in heaven.
After the session, she encourage that I use the conservatory if I had time. So I did and it was amazing. The conservatory is a large glass room with chairs+ottomans that is situated around a large fire pit in the middle of the room. There was no smoke. The room was warm and inviting. I sat there and relaxed while reading all kinds of magazines. I was sorry to go, but my husband's tee time was coming to a close so I had to shower and get back to Spanish Bay.
The showers were large. The shower is equipped with 2 jet heads and rain drop shower head. fully equipped with shower gels, facial cleaner, shampoo, conditioner, and you are provided with shaving necessities. I got ready and the hostess arranged for a shuttle to take me back to Spanish Bay.
I highly recommend this for everyone who likes to be pampered. -

I went to the Spa on a recent trip to Carmel. We were lucky enough to have been blessed with unseasonably warm weather so the group arrived an hour or so before anyone's first appointment and some of us took walks all around the coastal area surrounding the resort. In around 5 minutes, you can walk up to the famous Pebble Beach golf course's 18th hole right from the spa. The Spa's grounds & architecture are beautiful. There is a little pool area with comfy cushioned lounge chairs where you can also relax to kill time.
Pleasant staff, relaxing environment (duh). Even the locker/shower room is super nice - classy wooden doors on the lockers, and all the toiletries you need. The shower has a giant "rainforest" shower head as well as two side showerheads. Towels & robes are plush, soft, and luxurious.
If you have a treatment scheduled, you can freely use all the services adjacent to the locker room such as the dry sauna, the steam room, jacuzzi, and the aromatherapy room. I took advantage of all after my manicure. (The day use fee, if you have no other treatments scheduled, is $40.)
The manicure itself is probably the best I ever received. I actually paid for the 'mini manicure' which is supposed to take 25 mins. Rebecca, the aesthetician, was very sweet and focused in her work. The mini-mani includes the cuticle treatment/trimming, nail shaping, and polish (basically they leave out the hand & forearm massage). Well, I don't know how they expect all that mess to be done in 25 mins. Mine ended up being more like 45 but Rebecca didn't rush through to get my mani finished. BTW, mini-mani costs $48 including tip.
And... the true test of quality: it's been 6 days since my mani and the polish has NOT chipped except in one teeny corner of my left pinkie!
Good stuff, if I'm up in the area again and wish to indulge, I'm so there. -

LOVE. My mom used to take me here a lot. And it doesn't hurt always being the youngest one for appointments :) What can I say? I love being spoiled and if your mom is footing the bill, be a good girl and take advantage of it! So relaxing, and so perfect that your surroundings are equally as beautiful.

I had a couples massage here with my boy friend and had a wonderful experience. Both of our masseurs were very through and experienced. We both felt so relaxed when the 50-minutes was up.
The facilities were clean and impeccably attended to. I loved the sanctuary outside of the conservatory with citrus flavored water and ginger lemonade to sit snuggled in a blanket by the fire pit. It was a once in a lifetime experience that I would recommend to anyone that would like to splurge on themselves. -

if I could imagine what heaven might be like, this place comes pretty darn close... first of all the location is amazing, set right on the Pebble Beach Golf course on 17 mile drive. Secondly, it has everything a woman can ask for... an indoor jacuzzi, a dry sauna, a steam room, a revitalization room (basically cleanest air you will ever breath) and don't even get me started on their showers with three shower heads per stall!
I have been here for a massage before and this was my second visit, Robert was my service provider and he has the hands of Zeus and Mother Teresa combined, strong where it counts but gentle where he needs to be. Not to mention he was very friendly.
If you need to get away from reality, I highly recommend this place, reality never comes here. -

I took my mom here for a birthday present. We arrived in plenty of time to relax in their wonderful relaxation room and drink their yummy water. The therapist came to take my mom to her room but my therapist never came. Having worked at a local spa I know how some treatments can run behind so I waited. And waited. And waited. I wasn't about to go traipsing downstairs in nothing but a robe to the front desk to ask where my therapist was- 1. I was afraid I'd miss her and 2. Uh, no. About 30 minutes after the scheduled appointment time a staff member came up to get another woman for her treatment. After explaining how long I had been sitting there and asking what went wrong she called the front desk and said that my treatment was not on the books- as if it had been cancelled.
A few minutes later a woman (who was not dressed as a therapist and I can only assume she worked in the office) came and brought me to a room which no one was using. The massage was wonderful and I commend them on fixing the problem as soon as they knew about it. However, I was not given any discount towards a future visit or any form of apology that I would have expected.
Since my mom was done 45 minutes earlier than I was we were not able to enjoy their other amenities such as the steam room or the hot tub.
The facilities are beautiful and the showers are amazing however. -

The price pays for the overhead for all the fluff and puff you see; not at the powder station (although access to free tampons are nice LOL). There are two sitting rooms-one for a large group and one for a small group. Meaning, there was a loud and rowdy group of girls in the gorgeous atrium; but thank goodness there was a quiet, fire pit room with sugary limonada (I live in San Jose). My treatment was a thai herbal treatment. I felt like a volcano princess getting ready to be sacrificed. I would do it again; well..if I assumed that role again. This spa is practically an all-inclusive resort (and I am sure you could sleep in the treatment room). Food and pastries are available for order; you just have to drink your two mimosas outside of the full-service beauty salon. One of my favorite 'more bang for my buck' moments was the 'inhalation' room (insert deep breath here). Not sure what it really did, but it sure pricked up my senses while chomping on bananas. Oh; and let's not forget cute Olivia whom walked me outside to find the 18th hole to meet the other half. She even kissed me goodbye on the cheek. Now that's customer service-charm at its best (but that was probably b/c we bonded while I was there. Yes, I make friends with the housekeeping. That's how I roll.)

I really wanted to love my experience here. Pebble Beach is a spectacular setting and the Spa facilities are beautiful and well maintained. I booked a makeup application appointment here to treat myself as a bridesmaid. I arrived with the Bride and another bridesmaid and we were greeted with professionalism and warmth. It's clear that they have they have the logistics of accommodating a lot of guests arriving for a variety of services down to a science.
My appointment started a half hour after the girls so I watched the beginning parts of their appointments. The Brides up- do seemed to be going well as she had already had a consultation with her stylist. The other bridesmaid threw her stylist for a loop when she wanted to diffuse her curly hair and keep it curly (GASP- according to the stylist everyone with curly hair wants it to be straightened). A 15 minute search for a diffuser ensued. The stylist clearly had minimal experience with curly hair and the bridesmaid ended up giving her step by step instructions on how to dry it and what products to use. The final 'look' turned out pretty well but when you are paying the big bucks to have your hair done, you don't want to be the one doing the work.
I was escorted to another area to have my makeup done. It was a counter set up in the gift shop which I found a little odd. The spa has so many different areas that are relaxing and quiet. I was hoping that by paying for a service I would be in more of a 'spa' environment. The woman was very nice, professional and listened to my ideas. I didn't take a look in the mirror until almost the end when she asked me to curl my own eyelashes....and I was a little shocked by what I saw. The foundation and blush looked pretty good but not much different than the look I achieve on my own everyday. But the eye shadow was poorly blended and there was a noticeable gap between my lash line and the eyeliner....which in my opinion is makeup 101. I also noticed right away that the 'cat eye' (extending the liner out from the eye) was totally uneven. One side was much longer than the other. I asked to have the shadow evened and blended and for the liner to be fixed. To her credit she was very gracious and got to work making some adjustments. Unfortunately she stared using makeup remover and then reapplying color over the corrected spots that were still wet. What resulted was very uneven color.
Just as these changes were being made the other two girls appeared ready to go. I didn't want to make the bride wait so I said I was satisfied and asked to purchase the lipstick she used. Well, they were sold out of the lipstick and the other color that was closest. This was disappointing and in a rush I ended up with a color I'll never wear again, just because I wanted something that I could reapply. That is an honest mistake that could happen to anyone but I wish she had picked a product that I could take home with me.
I have no doubt in my mind that if I had time the makeup artist would have worked with me until I was completely happy. Also, a manager came up and asked about my service and I lied and said it was great just so that I could be on my way. I'm sure given their obvious efforts towards customer satisfaction I would not have left with what I felt to be an unprofessional makeup application. Overall I got the sense that the makeup artist was inexperienced, not bad. I could tell she was very hesitant to pull on my eyelids or get too close to my face which is what you have to do for the best results.
The Bride had gotten a manicure pedicure and massages the day before and she raved about both services - as do they other people here on Yelp. I would definitely like to come back to Pebble Beach and take advantage of the spa facilities and try another service - but I would not recommend makeup application here. -

the spa at pebble beach is one of the nicest spas i have been to. the facilities are huge, and include showers, steam rooms, sauna, jacuzzis, inhalation rooms, and a conservatory. it's an absolute paradise.
i came here with a couple of friends, and we soaked it up in the hot tub, bouced back and forth between the sauna and steam room, then we kicked back in the conservatory by the fire place, where they have nuts, fresh fruit, dried fruits, and chocolate for guests to munch on. surrounded by trees, the atmosphere is so tranquil, and that day the clouds were silver and gray (my favorite kind of days).
i got the botanical body smoother. first they scrub you with sugar crystals, then you get to relax while they give you a foot massage as you're cocooned in hydrating botanicals. $200 later your skin feels like a baby's bottom. one of my friends got a massage, and the other got a facial. they both loved it, and came out relaxed and rejeuvanated. the locker room is fully stocked with really nice hair and skin products, as well as hair brushes, dryers, and styling products. -

first of all, this place is gorgeous! the setting is breathtaking and the building itself is an outstanding tribute to older California architecture. Someone personally shows you to the locker room and gives you a tour ( I think his name was Jason) and he was very friendly and informative. The locker room is incredible. There is beautiful black and white tile throughout, except for the jacuzzi room which was done in blues and golds. You really feel like you are at Hearst Castle with the vintage color and tile scheme. The massage was great, even though the therapist was a little chattier than I cared for. The only thing it really lacks is intimacy. The spa itself can cater to 50+ people at one time and you feel like part of the mass after awhile. Overall, though, I can't wait to go back there

This place is seriously heaven on earth. My friend and I arrive about an hour early for our services, my service was a facial. Once we arrived we were shown our locker and got a tour of the the lounge and pre-spa activities. I started out in the hot tub then headed to the dry sauna, after the dry sauna I went to the wet one :) After all that fun I took a shower, blew dry my hair and cuddled up in a blanket for 15 min reading magazines before my treatment. I already felt like I had all the things I needed to make for a wonderful day. I then was treated to a snack and was shown to my aesthetion for my facial which was top notch! I would recommend this as a girls day out or with a boyfriend or girlfriend. I can guarantee you will leave the Pebble Beach Spa feeling like a new person.

Review from Darla G.
Monterey, CA

This is a 5-star spa. I will give the one reason why I could not rate it as such at the end of my 5-star review.
The jacuzzi room, the steam room and the dry sauna were all superior in cleanliness and design. The jacuzzi room is decorated in neutral tones with sort of tuscan looking tile. The water did not smell of chemicals and was hot upon entering.
The lighting is subdued throughout the spa, adding to the peaceful feel.
A conservatory is upstairs and boasts comfy chairs and lounges all with lounging blankets. Natural light floats in from above and one can even hear the birds talking from the outside grounds. A spa menu is provided with interesting food choices. Off the conservatory is a quiet room where one can enjoy the above ground fire ring that adds to the comfort.
The shower rooms are wonderful with lots of towels, hair and body products and a shower head that almost simulates being under a waterfall there is so much water that gushes out. I felt extremely guilty considering Pebble Beach is on a peninsula that may soon be on water rationing.
The massage rooms have gas fireplaces, a nice touch. I'm not sure what the other treatment rooms are like.
I had a deep tissue massage from Kara, and it was 50 minutes of wonder. Deep tissue is not for everyone, but I always request the service as my profession leaves my back and neck in need of hard-core kneading. Kara is professional and knows what she is doing. This is the best massage service I've ever received.
The locker room is furnished with lotion, brushes, hair dryers, curling irons, styling products, etc.
Okay, so why only 4-stars? Upon arriving and checking in at the front desk, an attendant escorts you around the locker room and spa areas. Very nice, but after that I felt like she was on my heels the rest of the time. I got to the spa before my scheduled appointment in order to de-stress and relax, but I felt very hurried and supervised with her right behind my every move. I'm exaggerating, but none the less, this is how I felt.
I would highly recommend The Spa at anyone wanting a massage. I cannot comment on the other services. -

Quilty admission, I collect spa treatments instead of trinkets when vacationing. Spas I know and this one lives up to the Pebble Beach mystique. We have visited the Lodge at least a couple times each year for the past 6-7 years. In that time, I have accumulated a favorite massage therapist, nail technician and most recently hair stylist. I admit this place is an addictiion for me, so you are forewarned of the true price of visiting the Spa and should enter realizing that there is no twelve step program out. The staff is courteous, soothing and attentive. The facility is as lovely as possible when indoors while PB sits just out the front door. The Spa is always immaculately clean and well equipped. There is a lovely atrium waiting area that was the ultimate relaxation until they added the outdoor detached solarium room about three years ago. Lounging, daydreaming, and snoozing here next to the firepit is alone well worth a service charge. I warn you do not plan to go here for one treatment to be out of there in an hour, you will be sucked into the addictive lull and realize much later that four hours have slipped by. Inhalation, steam, sauna and showers are top notch - book early and often!

I love spa's. I grew up in Carmel. Hadn't been here for 8 years. It is really nice. Massage with Soring was wonderful. No ocean view- but surroundings are beautiful. You can order lunch. Similar to ordering room service...$30+ salad...but it was delic with big prawns.
A wonderful way to spend a special day (or half a day) treating yourself. -

Staff and services are great. Facilities and emenities are 5 star. Beyond your service- there is plenyt to do- steam room, whirlpool-sun room makes for the perfect nap. Don't skip the amazing 3 head shower! All of this makes me think i'm getting my money's worth!
Would suggest to avoid going on "obvious peak times/days" if possible. Like any spa- it's hard to relax when there are a ton of people around you.
The 18% tip is built into your cost..and you do pay for all of this up front before you appointment so that you don't have to hassle with it afterwards. -
