Talega Day Spa

I booked a couples massage for my fiancé and I, we spent the weekend in San Clemente and wanted some relaxation. I found them on Unilocal after looking at the reviews I called to make a same day appt. I love the ambiance there, once you walk in feels like your stress level disappears. We were completely satisfied with our massages and our masseuse’s. We wish we booked another package because we were not ready to leave. We definitely will be going back for more pampering on our next trip. Thanks for the great customer service and satisfaction!

Great experience! Got to our appt about an hour early, and was given a tour of the facility. 2 types of sauna, shower, locker’s, nice bathrooms. Would definitely return.

It is really nice place, clean, quiet, very relaxing. Marissa gave me such good services. I recommend you to try the dazzling light. No pain at all. Loose fat while taking nap. May be try other services too

I have never had a service here but I was a walk in seeking information. Jess was the front desk associate who was beyond friendly and informative. She answered all my questions and was very welcoming. She is really the sweetest :) The day spa itself is very large and the art/​décor is somewhat old but it is still very cozy. I look forward to booking my appointment!

Ok spa. Don’t care for front desk staff

Went to Talega on Saturday with 7 other ladies. The spa was more than accommodating for such a large group. They cleaned the back patio and allowed us free use of the entire area. They also helped us with small details like table cloths, rinsing fruit as it was a bridal shower and we brought snacks. My service was great I got a facial and most of the other ladies I was with opted for massage, all were happy. I would go back if it was closer to me =)

Everyone was very friendly and nice. It was very relaxing. I recommend it to anyone that is near San Clemente. If you need a place where to relax this is the place.

The quality of the massages here are the best in the city. I haven’t had any of the other services– and usually get the no– frills massage. You can tell the owner really cares about the quality of the service. Highly recommend.

The two ladies were amazing… Lou Ann and Dasha!!! Thank You for a wonderful relaxing time

Great service, beautiful location and facility. Love the Tuscan II with frills. The infrared sauna is awesome

Alecia is amazing! Seriously the best massage I’ve had in my life! She is so knowledge and thorough. I will be a regular now. She loves what she does and it shows.

I went here today and had an amazing experience. Dasha was so great at her job. My neck and back were really sorry and she was able to fully focus on my problem areas. This spa is relaxing and very clean. You can use their amenities or you can book the «no thrills» if you just want a treatment without using the sauna etc.
I highly highly recommend. Great pricing very professional! I will be back!

Stopped by yesterday for the first time ever for a massage with Louanne. I get massages weekly (usually at cheap places) to deal with tension from driving and work stress, but my normal places were booked so I called TDS. I kid you not– this was the BEST massage of my ENTIRE LIFE. She focused on every aspect of making it a soothing experience that changed my muscles for the better, going further to teach me some positions to train my body to release tension. She included heating packs and cool packs to elevate the experience and focus on my particular health and wellness needs. I felt completely pampered, luxuriant and babied. I have been to Burke Williams several times, and this was vastly superior (and cheaper!) than those experiences.
Serendipity brought me to TDS and I will gladly return weekly.
The spa is absolutely charming and relaxing. People that are giving 1 star for décor– please chill out. If it’s not your style and that angers you enough to leave a nasty review that can damage the spa’s reputation, I suggest you get some more self care! :)

I read some of the one star reviews here and either these people are reviewing the wrong place or they are from a competitor. I have NEVER seen graffiti or carvings and the shower IS separate from the steam room. I have been going here for as long as they have been open and love it. It is beautiful, relaxing, clean and has the best massages of any place I have tried including luxurious resorts. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Their pricing is very competitive and definitely NOT pricey.

I had Mona as my facialist and she was AMAZING! I loved that she was touching some part of me the entire facial. While masks were on she massaged my arms, neck, scalp, and hands. The facial massage was so relaxing. Her extractions were super gentle yet effective. I also loved that she let me know what product she was using and why. Super informative and knowledgeable. I left perfectly relaxed and glowing. I would highly recommend Mona as your next facialist. She was a pro and her passion for her job shined through. A solid five stars!
As far as massages go, it was solidly mediocre. I don’t remember the massage therapist’s name but I do remember thinking that the massage was just okay. I guess that is how massages go. Even one’s that aren’t good, aren’t bad. This one was a solid okay. I would give it three stars.

I went here for some relaxation. I left feeling more stressed that my husband wasted $ 150 on a gift card for this place. The place was filthy, even graffiti and carvings in the Sauna! The steam room smelled like mildew and the shower was gross. My therapist called me by the wrong name and her nails kept scratching me throughout my treatment. I will never go back here again!!!
I gave them 1 star for the soft robe.

Can’t. Wait. To. Go. Back.
Don’t pay any mind to the one star reviews. I am as picky as they get and I didn’t want to leave Talega Day Spa! In town for the weekend, I decided to splurge and thanks to Google, I found Talega Day Spa. I spent my 48^th birthday being completely pampered at this charming spa. The décor is beautiful (one reviewer said it was dated… DUH…it is Tuscan Italian) and the relaxation room is quiet with dimmed lighting and a calming fountain. This was the first time I had truly relaxed in ages — I have spent the spring and summer months caring for a dying mother and the last 6 weeks, trying to get back into things. If this place was any type of tacky, stressful, dirty or unpleasant, I would have walked out. Pricing is competitive with spas that I normally frequent.
i called earlier in the week to book my appointments for a one hour facial and hour and a half massage. My appointments were made back to back. I arrived 15 minutes earlier so that I could do paperwork and get sorted.
I was greeted kindly and taken on a short tour of the spa so that I would know where to go. I was given clean spa sandals (that fit) and a locker (and instructions on how to use it). Inside the locker was a clean, fluffy robe. The locker room was clean with a plentiful supply of fresh, clean towels. I changed and headed to the relaxation room where I waited for just a few minutes and was greeted by Mona for my facial.
I’ve been getting facials for 30 years and know what I like. This was a great facial. Mona was very gentle with extractions, examined my skin carefully to address some issues, gentlly applied product for the treatments, gave a great neck and arm massage and created a calm and peaceful environment for me to nearly fall asleep. None of the products that she used stung, burned or smelled nasty. I particularly do NOT like a hard sell facial where the esthetician is pushing product. I had to ask what she was using because I liked the scents so much!
After my massage, I waited for a little while for my massage therapist. While I was there, a group of women came with the receptionist to drop off a bunch of food for their spa day. Did it bug me? Nope.
Louann came to get me for my massage, brought me to her room and we briefly talked about areas of concern for me (my neck and shoulders). She is a very experience massage therapist. She is also probably one of the sweetest and most compassionate women I’ve ever met. I told her the reason for my stress and she asked to hug me. Totally sweet, totally kind. The massage was wonderful — appropriate pressure, no pain, she talked to me when she needed me to breath or move my head or neck. I wished I had booked two hours.
I spent some time in the Sunlighter Sauna after my massage which was awesome — I probably should have stayed in longer but I’d been away from my family for hours!
The shower is clean and quite a treat! It has multiple heads and a rainfall showerhead in the ceiling. Shampoo and conditioner are available, as are clean hairbrushes when you finish.
If I had one small complaint, it would be that at a couple of times during my massage, I could hear people speaking loudly outside which really surprised me. It was perfectly quiet when I arrived and I always hope that people will be quiet in a spa.
At any rate, I can’t wait to go back!

My husband and I did the couples package and it was AMAZING. The massage was absolutely wonderful and super relaxing. The package included a foot scrub which left my feet super smooth and the sauna afterwards was the perfect ending! The staff there were all very friendly and the locker rooms are very comfortable! The shower in the locker room was wonderful as well (6 shower heads!). You are given comfy robes to wear while in the spa and there are plenty of towels to use for showering and in the sauna. Will definitely be back again!!! Thank you for such a wonderful relaxing experience!

Great cozy place for good massage and quiet relaxation. Showers with body sprays were awesome. They do need to add ice cold bottle water n juices to the mix tho. Em charcoal filter pitcher and em polycarbonate bpa cups has got to go.

I’ve lowered my review for 2 reasons:
1). They offered me a discount if I removed my review. I declined.
2). The owner just sent me an email saying that I’m a pathetic person. Interesting. He’s never met me. Knows nothing about my charitable contributions to the city and to the homeless. But because this spa sucks, I’m pathetic? Please!
