I visit Descanso Spa once a month. I beleive this is very beneficial for my mind and body. I used to go to Wi Spa, but it was always overcrowded and busy. I am so glad I discovered Descanso spa! It's very cozy, doesn't get crazy busy, always clean, and oh, I LOVE the food there!!! Thank you!
Best massage of my life!! I came here and got the Scrub & Lemon Seaweed Essence Massage w/ Vitamin Facial and I was BLOWN away. So much attention to detail and making sure your entire body is taken care of. I even got my hair washed! I’m obsessed my masseuse Hana was incredible I can’t wait to come back. The theme rooms were also super fun to explore. Also the food was fantastic!!
Very disappointed with Descanso Spa in La Cañada. I usually go once a month for a scrub and massage, and normally the other staff do a good job, but I would not recommend booking with Jenny. Big mistake. I specifically paid for a scrub and massage, but she barely scrubbed my skin at all and did not properly remove the dead skin cells like they are supposed to. She also did not put effort into the massage or the other procedures included in the service. The massage itself was also not good. I asked for a refund because the service I paid for was not provided. What upset me even more was that my appointment was supposed to be with Hannah. At 2:05 they called my number for my 2:30 appointment, and Jenny came out. I asked her, “Are you Hannah?” and she said yes. Later I realized she lied. The facility itself also looks worn down, dated, and old now. Management handled the situation terribly and did not care about fixing the issue. I do not recommend this place anymore.
I highly recommend a spa day at this Korean Spa! My sister and I took our daughters here for a mother/daughter day of pampering. We booked an 80 minute scrub and massage treatment, which was fantastic! The full body scrub left our skin feeling soooo incredibly soft and the oil massage was very relaxing, they even washed our hair and did a face mask. The jimjilbang rooms were clean and not overly crowded, and the restaurant on site had delicious Korean food. Highly recommend!!!
It’s always such a relaxing experience coming here. I’ve just had my third visit, and it never disappoints. The hot tub, steam room, and shower areas are consistently clean, which makes it easy to fully unwind. The front desk staff are kind, welcoming, and helpful. The body scrub is amazing; slightly uncomfortable at moments, but absolutely worth it for how incredibly soft and refreshed your skin feels afterward. The upstairs saunas are quiet and peaceful, and I really appreciate the details, like the benefits and recommended time posted outside each room. The cedar oxygen room is the perfect temperature to simply sit, breathe, and relax. The restaurant food is also delicious. My only suggestion would be to add a few lighter options, like a fruit bowl or a simple salad. Overall, it’s a consistently wonderful and rejuvenating experience, and I always look forward to coming back.
