I love this place! The service is efficient and cheap! The people are friendly, kind of walking to the Cheers Bar, ya know?

I had my nails done here after having a barrage of chemo treatments and I have to tell you, it was apparent how good and professional their employees are. Kudos!

EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT

THIS IS THE BEST SPA THAT I HAVE EVEN GONE TO. THE SERVICES ARE WONDERFUL, UNIQUE AND A TRUE EXPERIENCE. THE COUPLES SERVICES ARE GREAT FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO SHARE IN THE FUN. HATS OFF TO QWEN, WHO HAVE TRULY CREATED A SPA TO REMEMBER.

TAKE A TOUR, THE FRONT OF THE SPA DOES NOT FULLY HIGHLIGHT THE MYSTERIES BEHIND.

THIS IS A MUST GO.

• Pros: VARIETY, COUPLES SERVICES
• Cons: PARKING

Best Day Spa in the Bay Area!

by nquizzitiv at Citysearch

My one hour massage was a gift, and for what I experienced at Sol y Mar, it's one of the best gifts I've ever received. The spa's ambience and decor adds to the whole aura of calmness - immediately putting one into a relaxed state of mind. I felt as if I was in the midst of an oasis by the sea, being pampered not just with a peppermint and herbal foot soak before my massage, but with the offer of fresh strawberries and lemon-mango water by my spa attendant.

The staff are all caring professionals - take it from someone who is a stickler for that because I manage a customer service organization! I recognize great service! The staff at Sol y Mar are all very friendly, attentive without being intrusive, and genuinely proud (as they should be) of the spa and their workplace.

I would highly recommend this spa. Sure the prices may be just a bit higher than other nearby places but what you get in return is priceless. This is the place to go when you want to escape, relax and be taken care of. Top Notch!

• Pros: Ambience, Service, Professional Staff
• Cons: Parking on Piedmont and nearby is difficult

Serene

Beautiful and serene decor. Seems very clean. Loved the color scheme, it should have been carried through to all the rooms. The people are lovely, very helpful, kind and classy. I wish all the pros would have carried over into the service. I had my eyebrows done. Unfortunately, the job was botched. Thank goodness I have long bangs to cover up the bad job. I was debating as to give it 2 or 3 stars, but since it is a new business (3 months) they can still improve and either find or train better technicians...I hope.
