Editorial Review for Elisa's Health Spa – by Steven Jenkins
The Scene
Unlike many spas throughout the Bay Area that turn up the attitude as hot as the water in their tubs, Elisa's prides itself on its friendly, no-fuss atmosphere. Elisa herself has run this modest sauna for nearly 25 years, and she sees to it that your visit is stress-free (as long as you remember to return your complimentary towels before leaving). Couples come here to get close in the hot tubs (two of which are outdoors) before or after dinner at a cozy neighborhood restaurant, while single bathers or groups of four, maximum, also enjoy the spa's clean, comfortable amenities.
The Services
In addition to the popular tubs (remember to reserve space well ahead of time via phone), Elisa's offers a variety of massage and skincare treatments, all reasonably priced. Hot tubs (indoor and outdoor), steam rooms, massages, body wraps and facials are also offered.

I have used Elisa's three times spread over about a year and every time they have been friendly and efficient. The only time out of these three that I did not get exactly the one hour that I paid for was on New Year's Eve (2007-2008) when I was in for over an hour and was not asked to leave - I left when I thought the hour was up and it was actually about 70 minutes, possibly because they did not have a customer in following me. On the other occasions when they did, I just heard a polite knock when there was about five minutes to go. However, a lot of the other posts concern treatment received when getting a massage which I have never done, so I cannot comment on this. If you want a pleasant, relaxing soak in a warm tub with a sauna and shower for an hour, under the stars, this is the place to go.
Pros: Under the stars, warm, polite staff.
Cons: Can be noisy if there are people in the other tub, the floor mat in front of the benches can be agony on the feet though you don't have to stand on it to get un/dressed.

I stumbled upon this place by accident... I walked in and asked for an hour hot tub and 1/2 hour massage. The woman at the front desk (not the owner ) said she would fit me in. I got about 20 minutes in the hot tub before her next appointment came through and then to compensate me she allowed me in the Steam Room. I liked the to tub. It was not chlorinated and I appreciated the outdoors of it. I like the natural sunshine. Its not fancy but then I can't afford fancy. It was a decent hot tub in a secluded spot where I could relax and enjoy the outside. I LOVED the steam room. One does not find actual steam sauna's too often, usually just dry. The steam felt good and the room was clean. The benches were a bit uncomfortable and I mentioned that. The woman suggested that next time I pull in the plastic chair that was in the anti-chamber/shower room) attached to the sauna. "Good Idea", I thought. I'll do that! I did not get the hour but I was so drained by the sauna that I did not really care. It was more my choice than anything. Linda did my massage. She was WONDERFUL! Talk about deep tissue! There was very little of the deep pain associated with deep tissue. She is highly skilled and made sure she got the problem areas for me. I had her concentrate on my neck, shoulders and back because that’s where I carry my stress. I did get the person banging on the door (yes, real life hammering) and yelling "Massage 30 minutes, Customer waiting). Linda was very apologetic as she was trying to take my pain away. She gave me her card and I plan on calling her for an appointment. I'm looking forward to the steam room again too. All together I would say don’t expect much customer service and stand up for your time if they try to cut you short. The intimacy of the hot tubs is nice and the steam room is just terrific. And by all means…. Go see Linda! For the price it’s worth it.
Pros: Steam Sauna, Out door hot tub and LINDA!
Cons: Tacky Front Desk Person, Tacky surroundings, low class attitude
