“Kumari was really attentive and sweet. I felt great after the massage and would definitely
Come back.“

“I had the best cut and style here. Krystyne listened to exactly what I wanted. I was so impressed I sent my husband to I have his hair done and he was also happy.“

“Two trusted friends recommended that I see Tracie Tilson, an incredibly experienced and gifted massage therapist. After my first session with Tracie, the pain, swelling and lack of mobility I had for the past 14 months from a torn meniscus were easily 90% gone. It has been life-changing. I am so grateful. One of Tracie's numerous certifications is also in lymphatic massage/drainage. Again, her expertise and talents have given me an even better quality of life than I could have imagined. I feel safe and confident in Tracie's hands. I have recommended to other loved ones that they should see Tracie. They have also been beyond pleased. Looking forward to making my visits with Tracie an ongoing part of my self-care. Again, much gratitude to having dear Tracie in my life!“

“Tatiana is the best!!! She takes her time and really cares about you as a person. She is very professional and skilled as a massage therapist. Great staff and immaculate facility. I will not go to anyone else.“

“We went for a couple’s massage and had Noel and Karen - both extraordinary.
Noel helps guide you through the experience and gives knowledgeable advice attuned to whatever your problem areas are.
Karen moves with expert hands and uses the perfect amount of pressure.
Enjoy an incredible view of Carmel Valley and the friendly birds while listening to beautiful classical music. The interior is decorated with intriguing antiques and local finds, all expertly picked and placed. This place is a must-experience.

We will definitely return!“

“Came to Carmel for my anniversary with my boyfriend and we were so excited to go to Refuge. We both got a day pass. I believe we were some of the first people there a bit after 9 am. It started off great! For a while we got a few pools to ourselves all in the warm setting. We got into the steam room and I loved the eucalyptus one!! For my partner it was a bit too strong, so I suggest for people with sensitive smells to just try the other room. We then wanted to sit around the fire place, but there were seats taken with towels or only one chair available between people and my partner and I wanted to sit next to each other. We ended up going to a fireplace in a corner where a couple started reserving the seats since the morning. They also got there kind of early after us and we noticed when they put their towels down on the chairs. My boyfriend asked if they could move their towels so we could sit down. At first the woman had said yes but her partner said they were going to sit down after a few minutes. Mind you this is now around 11 am and I had seen them in the sauna rooms and walking around (it was a Monday so it wasn't that busy.) So then my boyfriend said I'm sorry but you aren't able to reserve seats and the girl seemed shocked and said but everyone else is doing it. Her partner ended up moving a chair towards the fire pit and we sat down. It was an uncomfortable situation for us and them. I wish there could've been a worker walking around making sure people weren't reserving seats, so my partner and I could've avoided this awkward tension with others. After that we went to the relaxation room. My partner and I thought to ourselves at first who would enter this room when there's other things to enjoy, but oh boy were we wrong. My boyfriend took a nap and I closed my eyes for a while and just enjoyed the silence bliss. My boyfriend ended up snoring and I had to wake him up. He was a bit embarrassed, but he really ended up enjoying that room. We ended up going to a pool with another couple and a single person. Another couple ended up coming into the pool and were talking out loud. I was bothered and so was the girl in the other couple. She ended up whispering in her partner's ear and they got out immediately. I went into the hammock next to the pool as I no longer wanted to be next to couple either, but my boyfriend stayed inside. He was also bothered but not enough to get out. The shower had a lot of space inside. I wish there was a place to get ready I had brought my make up to do, but I ended up not doing it since I didn't want to be in the way of other people blow drying their hair it was the only spot with lighting and a mirror. It is a bit of tight space. My only regret was not bringing a book. So many women were reading near the fire place and it seemed such a relaxing thing to do. The weather was gloomy and I loved it that way. It did start sprinkling while we were there which was no problem. The ambience was great. Hopefully there can be more surveillance on the rules about the talking and reserving chairs, but other than that it was a great. I would definitely recommend this place.“
