I’ve never done the spa thing. Now I have and I don’t like anyone rubbing me, ‘cept my wife. Food menu was very limited but they give you huge portions. Make sure you have plenty to drink because you’ll need to help things go down. The GIANT bowl of hummus was excellent, but all of the other stuff was just ok. CritDicks

I visited the spa in August and September 2023. Both times I received a deep tissue massage. The massage costs are commiserate with other spas in the area but they are pricier than the Burke Williams spa I had a membership at in Northern California. I am new to the are and have visited several spas in an attempt to find one that will be my go to. I chose the Spa Pechanga because, from the website it appeared that it was larger. I was reluctant to give it a try because it is part of a casino. When I arrived I was pleasantly surprised to find that the spa building is separate from the main casino. It is a bit of a walk there is no parking close by so you have to park in one of the parking structures and walk through the lobby of the hotel to get to the spa. The entryway of the spa is decorated with earth tones and massively high ceilings. The staff is alert, courteous and lovely to interact with. On my first visit I was not aware at check in that you can get a wrist band to order food from the Cove (the casinos pool area that has a 21 and over pool with swim up bar, and a family pool with a slide). I was given a tour of the women's side and found it to be spacious which I appreciated. Many of the other spas I have visited in the area have cramped areas and are quite small. The women's locker room has individual lockers outfitted with spa robe, slides and bottle water. There are little nooks throughout the area with fresh fruit and water bottles. Upstairs in the waiting room they have an assortment of fruit, herbal tea, spa water and nuts. The waiting area is bright and spacious with indigenous art interspersed in the hallways. There is also an outside deck the overlooks the golf course and mountain. My first massage in August 2023 was wonderful. I did have a problem with a reaction to essential oil that was placed on the face mask during my massage. It began burning my skin and left a mark on the side of my nose that took a few days to heal. The massage itself was relaxing. My second massage in September was simply ok, the masseuse was pleasant but spent an inordinate amount of my time pulling out things, arranging things etc. The spa has a hot tub on the women's side that sits 18 people, a large sauna, and steam room. The co-ed area is outside and has a waterfall whirlpool and a midsize bool surrounded by rentable cabanas and seating. The gate to the cove is also in the space. During my visit in September the staff was extremely solicitous and waked around offering iced green tea and checking in. One of my biggest complaints about the spa is that each time I have attended the spa visitors did not seem to honor any type of spa etiquette. There was loud yelling and laughing and in August there were a group of women drinking champagne in the quiet room having a blast. I love spa quiet rooms for quiet and relaxation and naps, the Spa Pechanga's makes it impossible to do so, in my last visit there were people in the hallways talking loudly, doors slamming and there is no door to the room so you cannot shut out the noise. Another drawback is that the Spa adds a 20% surcharge to all bookings , this was fine for me on one visit but not so much on the other. Overall, if you are looking for a large more spa likes space in the area this is a good option.

This was my first time that I have been to the Pechanga Spa, and was curious as to how it would compare to others in the area that I have been to. The spa facility was very nice and clean. It has all your spa amenities that would find at other day spa's. The only part that I was disappointed in was there wasn't much outdoor amenities with the exception on the pool and hot tub and the outside didn't seem spa like, more like a regular pool and hot tub. The assortments of snacks throughout were nice, nothing over bearing but filling. I had the 50 min massage service, which was a decent massage, however there was no spa music in the background, so it wasn't as relaxing as I would have liked. The entire staff was wonderful, they really took the time to show me around, and as they saw me throughout the spa they acknowledged me by my name, which was a nice touch. They didn't offer many services at the time I am not sure if that is because they are getting back into things after COVID, but overall I enjoyed my experience and will be back.

Our return to Pechanga was focused on the Spa. We arrived early to maximize our chilaxin time, to our surprise the hotel gave us our room at 11am. We had time to eat a great Chinese lunch, won over $360 in 20 minutes on a random slot and had plenty of time to make our 1pm couples massage. The Spa is beautiful, spacious, and the staff was warm and inviting. The outdoor pool and waterfall hot spa was very relaxing. The dual masseurs were very skilled and attractive and super pleasant. The facilities included a very spacious hot dry & steam spa which was also a treat. I felt great during and after my couples spa experience and will do it again before long.

I have been going to Pechanga spa for years. From the one on the 3rd floor of the casino tower, to the new spa. Most of the therapists are good. They had a great male therapist and I am sad to say that he’s not there anymore. If you don’t like your female therapist, just remember her name and never see her again. You’re bound to get a great one since they do have a good group of therapists. The new spa is a definite improvement as far as the facility is concerned. They did raise the prices of the services by at least $50 though (massages, I don’t know about the other services). In addition to the raised prices, I have 2 main issues: 1. They have a hydrotherapy inside the female room. I have never seen anyone using it. Maybe because it’s lukewarm? I have mentioned it at least 3x and no one knows why it’s lukewarm. All I know is there is a sitting water there that’s probably accumulating tons of bacteria. 2. The front desk/receptionists! OMG, I have never seen a more inefficient group of people. I did not get this person’s name but she’s so obviously incompetent and slow and it almost physically hurt me to see her work. I have seen, at different times, 5 different receptionists and I can, with a 100% certainty, say that I will only hire one of them if I’m the one in charge. The spa is now maybe at least 10x the size of the old one. They have a good relaxation area, and a better locker room. They do have a jacuzzi and a pool specific to the spa but it’s outside. Will I go back there? Of course! The therapists are good enough. I just wish I never have to go to the front. It stresses me out just thinking about it.
