Aqua Day Spa

I’ve been coming to Aqua Day Spa in San Diego for years, and it has never failed to impress me. Even though it’s changed a bit over the years (probably due to inflation), the vibe has always stayed the same peaceful, relaxing, and worth every visit. I do miss the warm tea, fresh fruit, and cookies they used to serve, but the service here remains absolutely top-notch. The staff truly work hard and provide amazing care. You just can’t beat an ice cucumber facial followed by a warm milk bath after a long day it’s pure bliss. It’s no surprise so many nurses and busy professionals come here to recharge. I don’t live in California anymore, but every time I visit, I make it a point to stop at Aqua Day Spa. I hope this review helps someone decide to treat themselves you won’t regret it!

Great Korean scrub spa experience ! Did the scrub with massage after -- absolute fantastic service. The masseuse (jenie?) did an incredible scrub and very thorough. Massage and mini facial was lovely. Very clean and organized locker area for women. Lockers for person property. The spa area is super comfortable with hot and cold tubs, dry sauna and plenty of showers. I will be back. Thank you for a great korean scrub experience. 120.00 (cash) for both - solid service

For females looking for scrub and massage, ask for genie. It’s my first time so I can’t speak to the other ladies, but I just had a great time, so I’m personally planning on asking for her myself. Went for the 60 minute combo which I think was worth it since the scrub itself for 30 minutes is $85. Don’t forget to bring cash and you should tip between 20-30%. These ladies are working their own muscles trying to get you all cleaned up. Keep in mind you will be completely nude when you go in as this is more sanitary. So don’t be shy about your body and give them the freedom they need in order to scrub you down better. Do not wear a swimsuit into the wash area and please shower (they provide shampoo conditioner and body soap) before entering the water. Was my first time here, and there were only ever like 2-4 other ladies the time I was there (Tuesday from 10 AM to 12 PM). I was pressed for time so was unable to check out the clay room, but next time I plan to go to clay room, then shower, then the hot tub/steam room before another scrub and massage combo. Used the hair dryer and so thankful for the water machine and qtips to get ready for the rest of my day. Parking: 2 hr complimentary is the norm for this lot, but at the front desk they validate for 4 hours! I did see a buy 10 get 1 free promotion at the front, but I forgot to inquire about it. Bang for your buck-wise— I grew up in ktown LA so obvi it’s hard to compare to that area and even South Korea itself. I’m just grateful that there EVEN IS A SOLID OPTION here in San Diego. Genie herself also is very sweet and strong and makes sure you receive the full relaxing treatment.

I've been to this spa two times, the first time for a massage and I used the amenities. I was burned with the hot stones many times, I was exposed on the massage table due to inappropriate draping , keeping the door open while elderly person trying to find his room "in the private room areas" I was slapped on my feet and armpit during the massage which I found odd! No communication whatsoever due to the language barrier! All of the above is okay! However, what I experienced today almost made me vomit! Poo in the sauna area! I came out of the sauna, and found a poo spot on the towel from the sauna seat/tile. I left immediately and was refunded! Please be careful, take your business somewhere clean and professional!

THE most amazing massage I’ve ever had! Genie was incredible. I got the acupuncture and hot stone massage. I felt reborn. I was nervous because it was my first time going to a Korean spa but everyone was very friendly
