Not originally from the US, I have visited spas all over the world. I live in the South Bay and for years, I have been a loyal customer to a European spa in Saratoga. Simply by accident, I booked a massage at the Spa Los Gatos and I have been a loyal customer ever since. It is absolutely the best Spa in the Los Gatos, Saratoga area - possibly the entire Bay Area. It rivals Spas that I have visited in resort areas and in other countries. The only downside I would mention is the inconsistancy in the service I received from different massage therepists at this spa, but that happens anywhere. Fortunately, on one occassion I was asked if I objected to a male massage therapist, to which I had no objection. He offered the best, most comprehensive massage, I felt relaxed and well looked after; I request him each time when I book my massage. I now am happy with the service each time I visit - which of course is never often enough. Actually, I have found that in general, men have always offered better massages at least for my needs which often require larger hands. Now, I look forward to my massages and always leave feeling very relaxed and completely satisfied with the results. I won't mention his name, as it might make booking with him too difficult. But I will tell you, if offered a male therapist, they are equally as capable and professional, don't be afraid to accept.
Pros: It is really a lovely place, very efficient and thorough,
Cons: A few of the therapists aren't as good as others.
