I really enjoyed my Amber Balm massage by Rebecca, my skin felt soothed & replenished and her bodywork techniques were very effective. I adored the ambient relaxation lounge, and having some time before my service, I got to enjoy the awesome rooftop pool. I'm hoping to be able to come back to San Antonio with a friend, and I will definitely book us some spa time!

Such a nice and welcoming atmosphere. I sincerely enjoyed my massage by Rebecca! She had such a great personality, and made me feel comfortable. I will definitely return! The complimentary prosecco they served was 🫣🥴👌

I got the package with a couple girl friends with the lunch And the spa portion was fantastic we all loved It! It was relaxing and peaceful but they sent us out to the pool with lunch and said we can stay in our robes thinking It was a private pool but It was the public pool with a bunch of people and kids again while in our robes with pretty much nothing under it not really how I wanted to end my spa package but other than that It was Great

I recently enjoyed a massage with Faja at Hotel Contessa, and it was an outstanding experience. From the moment I walked in, Faja's warm and welcoming demeanor put me at ease. Her expertise and professionalism were evident throughout the session, making it one of the best massages I've ever had. Faja's technique is both soothing and highly effective. She skillfully targeted all my tense areas, leaving me feeling completely relaxed and rejuvenated. The only downside was the additional service fees, which were a bit higher than expected. However, the quality of Faja's massage made it worth every penny. I highly recommend booking a session with Faja at Hotel Contessa.

Crystal was the one doing my facial she was kind and knowledgeable on the products she was using. By the time she was done I was so relaxed I thought I was going to fall asleep. 100% recommend coming here for relaxation.

I had a facial and hand treatment and from the front desk to finish everything was lovely. Relaxing atmosphere and kind attentive staff. Thank you Rebecca for a wonderful experience!

Went here for a “mommy & me” day and was not disappointed. They offered complimentary valet which we really enjoyed and the spa experience was fantastic! I got the “Bye-Bye Breakouts” w/ added Lip Enrichment while my mom got a “Deep Tissue Massage”. We booked for 50min and enjoyed every minute of it. Very relaxing, high-quality, and overall enjoyable. The beds were narrow but comfy and came pre-heated. The towels were nice and warm, and the workers washed their hands frequently. Pro tip: if you don’t want to wait 45min for your car back, leave before checkout time. They prioritize those guests first and let me tell you there are a lot 😭😭

5 star service start to finish. I was not a guest at the hotel but everyone from the door to the service ending provided prompt and attentive service. The full spa experience included spa shoes and robing, quiet relaxation room access, water/champagne, and heat wraps. A 23% Gratuity/service charge is included in the charge automatically (on top of the advertised price).

Endulged in a citrus body glow body scrub and it was worth every penny. The spa is very relaxing, not sure you could go wrong with any service.

Every time we come to SA, we stay here at the Contessa. We decided to try the spa out this time and were quite disappointed. We got facials, and one was absolutely horrible, and the other was just "ok." We have been to several spas, and this was our least favorite experience. The staff is friendly but the atmosphere is not very spa like. People were loud and could be heard from the end of the hall from the "relaxation" room. The changing room is just an oversized rest room with a shower in it. I'm not sure if you were supposed to lock the door or if it was a come and go type. I've never had a facial that didn't use light or even really look at my skin to determine what I needed. I felt like I just had my face washed and lotion applied, for all I know it could have been Jergens. It was waaaaay overpriced for what the service offered. When we visit, we will continue to stay at the Contessa, but I doubt there will be any spa visits in the future. We LOVE Mokara's spa. There's is truly a spa experience.

First time as a local. And WOW. Definitely going back. From front desk to the manager asking how my experience was, everything was amazing. Customer service is top tier.

Had an amazing experience at this spa! The customer service was amazing and the deep tissue was just what I needed. Thank you so much Hotel Contesa!

I wasn't able to sit in the lounge because a bridal party had taken over, so the cost of my service was overpriced in that it did not include that included perk. I sat in the front with the host. Awkward and not luxurious at all for my birthday. She did offer me prosecco and an apple. The service I got was fine, felt a little rushed. Wouldn't go again. Always wanted to try a wrap, now I have, won't again.

My wife and I booked a couple massage. We called and made the appointment. The confirmation email listed a price of $150. We each got a Swedish massage. We added stones and aromatherapy (neither was worth it). The massages were both okay. They absolutely were not worth $520 total. Please look elsewhere, unless you’ve got money to just throw away like that. $520 for a 5/10 massage….. Smh.

Thank you to my husband’s birthday surprise.. I had a wonderful experience at The Contessa Spa. Thank you to Sahira for an excellent massage.. it was a relaxing therapy physical and mentally. All her neat at home tricks will also be put to use. Also the staff is super nice.. from the moment you walk in is the start of relaxation!

This spa experience was great. We went in for a deep tissue couples massage. The masseuse were professional and courteous. They made us feel welcome and relaxed. There is a relaxation room to sit in before and or after your massage. Charcuterie board, water, champagne, etc. We did not stay at the hotel however valet parking was included in our spa reservation which really gave it an overall relaxing carefree experience. Who wants to deal with parking after getting pampered?!

Be careful booking. They are very strict on no shows even when there’s an honest mistake and you’re willing to rebook.

I used the spa services this past weekend. The massage I received from Latoya was amazing.

My sisters and I planned a girls’ weekend for my mom’s 80th birthday. Ten of us between the ages of 27-80 met up for a weekend of fun and pampering! From the moment we arrived, Gigi and her staff made my mom feel like a Queen! All 10 of us felt like royalty the whole weekend. The spa party was so fun and relaxing! Gigi helped me plan the event and made sure every detail was perfect. If I could give 10 stars I would!

The hotel was beautiful and the staff was very accommodating. The bed was very uncomfortable.

Went with my wife while staying in the hotel. Service, quality of massage, and atmosphere were top notch. I highly recommend a visit!

What a great experience at the Contessa Spa. Had such great service from booking the treatments, to the arrival welcome, and especially the treatment. Thank you so much for making this such a special massage for my wife and myself.

When I visit SA that's where we go.
