    I got the couple's massage with hot tub session. Massage was more of therputic rather than deep tissue or any other. The tempo is slow and claming, the water sounds from the fountain outdoor makes the entire environment very relaxing. Hot tub area is private and outdoor. Entire place is private and has sauna and shower area as well. After massage, you're directed to the hot tub area and get to enjoy the time in the hot tub. Teas and robs and towels are included.

    Well Within Spa in Santa Cruz is an absolute gem. The staff is welcoming, professional, and makes you feel relaxed from the moment you walk in. The massages are top-notch--one of the best I've had. The private hot tub and sauna room is such a great touch and really takes the experience to the next level. Clean, peaceful, and perfectly set up for unwinding. If you're looking for a nice date night or just a place to fully relax and reset, this is it. Highly recommend

    Drove 7 hours from San Diego to this spa and it was absolutely worth it. Such a welcoming place- hot tea was ready when we arrived. The staff was very accommodating; although we were scheduled for 10, they were able to let us in at 9. The water was the perfect temperature, and the sauna was spacious and clean. We were given extra towels, which was really appreciated. The shower areas were spotless and stocked with shampoo, shower gel, and conditioner that all smelled amazing. Overall, a relaxing and thoughtful experience.
