Vista Blue Spa - Monterey, California

John Sovereign

The comfort, staff and views are amazing! I can’t believe the other guests and locals don’t know about the classically-styled jacuzzis and private tub suites. Please tear out half the fitness room and add two indoor public tubs.

I took a few pictures during my recent stay at the Monterey Plaza Hotel. I love to fall asleep to the wave sounds and sights at the former Casa de las Oros.

Beautiful views and scenery, especially with being able to use the hot tubs overlooking the bay.

My husband purchased a destress massage for me and it was nice. Not wow and did expect a little more. The "mud" was massaged on but quickly wiped off with a hot towel and there was more focus on the mud/oils then the massaging itself. I felt like it was a bit rushed.

I love a good head massage, but unfortunately the woman put way too much pressure at a certain spot and now I feel like I hit the base of my scalp/neck on something when I didn't. I didn't feel it right away but as the day progressed and now onto the next day.

After the massage was done, I had an eye mask covering my eyes and felt something weighted plop by my waist. When she lifted the eye mask, she said "here is your robe and your sandals" and realized she tossed my robe on me while still on the table. I almost laughed out loud.

I love spas...and the client experience overall and how it fills your cup up...this one, unfortunately, was not as fulfilling. I really think they can up their game and provide a great experience here being at such a lovely location! Hopefully this will help move upwards to better it for others that visit. Thanks!

AMAZING! Will be back!

We loved the luxurious feel of the spa. Wish we would have stayed at the hotel as well.

It was our 5th anniversary so this was a great treat. We got the 80 minute massage and couple's bath package. 30 minutes before and after of the hot tubs is included (1 hot tub per household).

Pro: The massage was nice and relaxing.
The baths room had the perfect setting and was super pretty with the most amazing views! It was nice having a room all to ourselves.
We even got to see a glimpse of the albino dolphin from the roof deck that are attached to the hot tubs.

Con: The only down side was that we were rushed out of our baths by a bell. Rosa never mentioned what the bell meant and only said she'd be back after 45 minutes.
My relaxation was put to a stop at that moment.

My new husband tore a muscle in his back years ago and it started plying up within the first few days of our holiday. I called these guys the night before we were due to visit and explained the situation and they booked him in 10:15am the following morning! The venue, spa and people were all incredible and the deep tissue massage was out of this world. Husbands back fixed ready to carry on our holiday. Couldn't recommend this place enough. Absolutely brilliant and a fantastic coffee shop nearby if you're waiting about too.

Do not under any circumstances buy a gift certificate here.

This was my wife’s favorite place so I spent 200+ on a gift certificate here two Christmas”s ago. They told me the piece of paper it was on was insignificant, as all the information was on file and all she had to do was give her name to redeem it.

She called 9 or so months later and they said there was no certificate under her name. Needless to say she wasn’t thrilled.

When I called to follow up, the receptionist admitted they had changed computer system since then and there had been issues. I was told someone would return my call.

You can just read the previous paragraph several more times because that is exactly what has happened. I call and the right person to handle it is not there and I’m told someone qualified will certainly return my call. The only difference is they’ve wised up and don’t admit they had computer issues on their end. If I hadn’t paid cash, I would have gotten the money back by reporting fraud on my account.

I’m not sure what’s going on with management at this location but it’s really unfortunate such a successful business is so short sighted. They lost two lifetime customers who talk to a lot of tourists in their respective jobs.

Wonderful experience here! I had booked a massage and a bath, but the massage was cancelled last minute due to a staff member being out sick for the day. I went ahead with the bath and it was wonderful. The views were incredible. When I went to check out, they unexpectedly covered the cost of the bath and gave me a lovely candle and oil for the massage cancellation. Very kind and thoughtful people working at the front desk. Recommend and will visit again.
