Chocolat Day Spa

Although they were booked, I was squeezed in because it was my birthday! They gave me a good deal which allowed me to indulge in a chocolate facial (Letty), therapeutic full body massage (Diana) & honey masque foot rub! Quaint & relaxing with complimentary drinks & wonderful staff. I left feeling like I had new skin! Definitely a hidden gem. I highly recommend.

I really enjoyed my Swedish massage here, Lety knows just how to work the tension out. And she is so sweet!
The rooms are private, comfortable and have a very relaxing ambience. They offer a variety of different services, I’ll definitely be back to try more!

My friend took me here for the living social deal, the 1 hr hot stone massage and 1 Hr Chocolat facial. Lettie did my facial and Diane did my massage. They were both great! They were very nice and they made me feel comfortable. Place was clean and ambience was relaxing. I will be coming back for another facial and massage soon! Thanks Lettie and Diane!

My mom and I came in for a 1 hour facial and 1 hour hot stone massage. The décor is really cute and the spa is really clean. The beds were comfortable and the staff is super friendly. The massages and facials were awesome!!! It was a very relaxing experience and we will definitely be back!!! I highly recommend the massage and facials here at Chocolat :)

they take good care of you. Both facial and hot stone massage ladies were great!

I came here for a one-​hour Swedish massage for my birthday. I called to make the appointment; someone answered the first time I called and was very helpful. My boyfriend offered to pay for the massage as a present and he called the day before my massage to give them his credit card number. There was no confusion at the end of my massage; they knew it was already paid for. The one-​hour Swedish massage was $ 45, which I think is a good price point.
My massage therapist was Glenna and she was very friendly and funny. The room was nice and dark with relaxing music playing. There’s a basket underneath the massage table for you to put your stuff in. The massage table was very comfortable.
My massage was so relaxing. The pressure was the exact right amount of firmness for me. I do like my massages on the firmer side. I really felt like Glenna was working the muscles getting out some kinks and I melted into the table.
This location is very convenient to my apartment and I will definitely be back.

The website listed does not work. So I called the spa, to see if there is a different website because I wanted to view prices and see what types of massages and facial they offered. The last on the phone, which happened to be the owner stated ‘we offer massages and facial’, which I clearly understood since I did call a spa. I was told that she was really busy because of wedding party tomorrow, which I assume made it to hard to provide a website. This to me is horrible service, especially coming fr the OWNER! I haven’t even been in for any spa services and I definitely will not go now. Not sure how she received a 4 star, with that service. I personally wouldn’t give any stars, but you have too on here.

Lettie, the owner, is awesome! She gives the best facials and massages. I love their combo deals during holidays because they always use delicious smelling scents– I.e. for Valentine’s Day, they had a strawberry and champagne facial and massage!

amazing facial/​massage. i suffer from the worst dry skin ever, so dry that my skin starts getting ashy. I came to this place and was astounded at how great the facial treatment was, left my skin smooth and looking full of life. I will go back again. Another plus is that the girls make you feel so welcomed and are so easy to talk to. I will go back again: D

Definitely a hidden gem! I had a facial done with Letty last night. It included a foot and half leg massage. BONUS! She wasn’t overly aggressive like the previous place I used to go to was. she was super nice and very attentive. My face has never felt so much before. I’ll definitely be going back and ordering the chocolate martini next time. Thank you!

I’ve been coming here for a few years and often get compliments on my complexion. Letty’s facials are awesome and her staff is always very friendly. The facilities are always clean and pleasantly scented.
Highly recommend coming here for facials!

A very quaint and cozy venue. I’ve been there 3 times in the past few years.
They are always clean which is s plus.
The front counter needs to remember shop size. I’ve been in the first room and could hear all of the chatter. The middle room is better but I could still hear too much.
The prices are reasonable especially for Arcadia. My latest visit I had a wonderful massage.
I wish the therapist could have handed out cards so I know who to request.
Make sure to bring cash for tips.

Part 2 of my LivingSocial Deal — Chocolate Coconut Facial with Christina.
Christina was amazing! I was so relaxed thoroughout the whole process (I felt like a celebrity, heheh), even the extraction session felt good! Christina came out promptly and greeted me, left me to undress and quickly got underway.
She had the steamer on my face, and made sure I was okay with the length of steam near my face just in case she needed to adjust it.
The cleansing and scrub portion felt really good. She did a good job in cleaning and cleansing my face. My skin felt super clean and smooth. Next, she applied the pumpkin peel and she did a couple of test patches first to make sure it didn’t burn me. The product smelled great, and it tingled my skin, and didn’t burn, yay! She left me alone for 4mins while it set, and then came back and did the extractions.
The extractions didn’t hurt, whew! When I had left the spa, my face didn’t look too bad, though it was cute that Christina was apologizing while extracting because extractions sometimes do hurt, but luckily, I had a high pain tolerance and not too much white/​black heads, heheh… and the next day, my skin felt really good, and my pores were smaller… next, she applied a cooling gel and did the ultrasound, which was like a warm-​vibrating collagen plumping machine that felt good. That was awesome, which helped my skin plump up after the extraction process.
Afterwards, she give me a great facial and neck/​shoulder massage with lavendar aromatherapy oil. By this time, I felt so light and even more mellowed. Finally, she applied the chocolate coconut masque, and left me to relax for the final 10 minutes to chill. The masque smelled really good, and yea, it was tempting to lick it, lol… Afterwards, she came back in, and cleaned me up with a warm hot towel on my face, and cleaned me up and applied a chocolate moisturizer as the finale.
After I had left the spa, I was very happy with the results, and best of all, the my face healed nicely the next day, and had this glowings, smooth look to it.
Good job, Christina! :D

Finally made an appointment before my living social expires. The vibe of the place felt so welcome. This is really a lovely place. Soothing and quite.
4 star
Let me start with my facial. Had the chocolate and coconut w/​lavender which was AWESOME. Christine was my facial and I think she did a great job. Every step she would explain what she be placing on my facial. Which was great. After 1 hr 30min it was time for my mask. The mask she place on me smell so delicious that I wanted to lick it ;). After my facial session was done my skin felt so clean and soft.
3 star
After my facial went to get my massage. Giving her 3 star because as the masseuse never introduce herself. Didn’t ask which area need more help and what strength I need. It was just okay I had better.
I would definitely come back for facial appointment next month.

I have been here twice. The first time was for a regular swedish for $ 45, and the second time I did their «Living Social Special» with the chocolate therapeutic massage. It was $ 47.
The first experience wasn’t that great, because they used this very smelly theurapeutic/​incens-​y lotion to massage me. You can tell my masseuse tried hard, but for some reason, I didn’t feel that comfortable. I went home feeling like I didn’t get any treatment. Thus, 1 star for that experience.
I ended up not going for a while and then recently decided to give them a second chance. Hey, people change. Thankfully, this second experience was a little better, but still not the best. I’d say it was a 3 star experience, as it was a «chocolate» massage. What they did was put chocolate powder with «liquid» and rub you down. It was pretty comfortable and I enjoyed myself, but I ended up feeling really powdery all over. They do attempt to use a white warm cloth to clean you at the end but it still didn’t clean everything. I just felt very sticky and dirty the rest of the day.
Despite the fact that the last time wasn’t the best, I am still not going give up on this place. I may come back, because they do have potential. However, I don’t know if I will pay that much for their services. I will go with the specials, though.

I have to admit that the name «Chocolat Day Spa» really drew me in — LOL
Just FYI — the Chocolat Spa Signature Facial is an organic dark chocolate mask!
So not only did the name draw me in, but so did their prices.
$ 45 for a 60 min Swedish Massage
$ 55 for a 60 min Therapeutic Massage (combination of Swedish & deep tissue)
$ 65 for a 60 min Deep Tissue Massage
$ 55 for a 60 min European Facial
$ 65 for a 60 min Chocolat Spa Signature Facial
SERVICE REQUESTED: Therapeutic Massage, Saturday @ 10:30AM
LOCATION: South of Alta on the west side of 1^st Ave across from the bank.
PARKING: Street parking right in front.
FIRST IMPRESSION: The smell. It did have a strong incense smell, which was a little overwhelming. (Deep down I kind of wish the place would smell like chocolate! HAHA).
Anyway, since it was my first time here, I had to fill out some paperwork. My appointment was for 10:30AM, and I was called into my room around 10:35AM. My massage didn’t start right away since my masseuse was showing some new staff a few things (so we got started around 10:40AM). I agree with a few other reviews that the walls are really thin. My room was closest to the reception area and I could hear everything going on outside.
RESULT:
My massage ended at 11:32AM. So it’s not exactly 60 minutes, since my session started late, but it’s OK. My neck, shoulders, and upper back felt a lot better after wards. She did most of the deep tissue work in my upper back, and the rest of it was Swedish. They use oil for the entire massage and use a hot towel to wipe you off after wards. The oil did have a smell to it and I came home smelling like it.
NEGATIVES:
— They don’t pick up their phone. Just trying to make my appointment was a hassle. A week before, I called them several times during business hours and no one ever picked up so I left a message. 2 hours later, still no call back so I called them AGAIN and finally someone picked up and scheduled my appointment. They said they would call me a day before my appointment to remind me and confirm.
6 days later — Friday evening came and I never got a call confirming my appointment so I call them instead. Looking at my phone records, no one picked up at 4:43PM, 5:06PM and I called again at 5:22PM and finally someone picked up. So you see my point. Pick up your phone! (or at least return people’s calls when they leave you a voice mail!)
CONCLUSION:
I had a decent massage and the price is right, but personally I’d rather spend more $ at a higher end place. You do get for what you pay for…

A definite hole-​in-​the-​wall. I saw an ad in the magazine for this place and I live pretty much walking distance from it. I probably walked by this place like a million times and did not even know such a place existed. I came on a Wednesday for their January special: swedish massage for $ 35/​hr. This place is a cute little spa that has a couple quiet rooms for the clients to enjoy their massages and/​or facials.
Their prices are relatively cheap considering the location of this place. Usually their swedish massages at $ 45/​hr. The ad in the magazine offered a swedish massage for the price of $ 39/​hr but it expires in February. Perhaps I’ll go back to get another one and use the coupon :)
As for the swedish massage that I got, it was very relaxing and soothing. It definitely eased some of my stress and calmed my body with the aroma of the room. The lady was very gentle but also focused on the much needed spots (neck, head, back).
I definitely recommend this place to those that live in the area. It’s close by, convenient, and relatively cheap.
NOTE: there are no facilities at this spa. It is basically a place for you to go in, get your massage/​facial, and get out feeling relaxed.

I received a gift certificate to this place and was such a happy girl that I did! I’ve known about this place for about 5 mos and have been about 10 times. Its such a small hidden jewel. It’s like a mini glamorous spa without the high prices.
It’s so convenient and hassle free. The staff is very nice and professional.
Diana is my favorite. Her touch is firm yet delicate. She takes her time and gets out all my knots. Letty is amazing too! She’s great at pressure points and hot stone!

My wonderful friend Jennifer clued me in on this place a month ago when I was needing to find a good massage therapist to work out the knots in my shoulders and back. She told me that there had been a great coupon that she used to get a fantastic facial and a massage treatment.
Lo and behold, two days later she found a BuyWithMe deal for a massage and a facial.
I eventually wound up booking a 1 hour deep tissue massage with Rebecca (was not with the BuyWithMe deal). She was really good. I told her I had some really bad knots in my shoulder blades and found them right away. She gave me some recommendations on how to work on the knots if I wasn’t able to get to a massage therapist right away. An hour later I was much more relaxed and felt much better.
Today I went and got a signature chocolate facial with Lety. This was my first facial ever so I was pretty excited. Lety was very friendly and helpful. She gave me advice on how to keep my skin in best condition and explained all of the different things she was doing for my face along the way. I really enjoyed the wonderful smell of the chocolate facial, and afterwards she gave me a refreshing moisturizing mask to help me with my mildly sunburned face.
The staff here are very sweet and accomodating. I am definitely coming back to try out some of the other services they offer, specifically the Swedish and hot stone massages. And the facials! Getting pampered here is definitely class!

This is the ultimate equilibrium between price and quality. The ambiance and service are excellent for the price point.
It’s not super bougie (spell check says this is wrong, not sure?), but it is definitely clean and quaint.
Highly recommended!
