Sabai Thai Spa

Ive had many massages in my day but this was probably the best. Amazing technique and strength. Very comfortable as well.

I’m updating this review as its been 4 days and nail polish is falling off! My pedicures usually last at least 2 weeks from other places. Definitely not 4 days. Disappointing experience!

Pure serenity package — simply amazing. Wanted a massage after a few days of walking/​running, but this package completely blew my mind.

this is my second time there, i had an amazing time last time i went, however, the girl i had (i think her name is Jaime) was terrible! She dug in so hard and deep with her elbows, that it honestly hurt and felt like i was being attacked. I told her to be softer and it didn’t help. Her movements were extremely rough and rushed. It was not one bit relaxing or enjoyable. I went in with my back feeling normal, and came out with it in pain. I woke up this morning, and my back felt like it was attacked, it’s so sore. I thought when I booked for a relaxing massage and facial, I would come out very refreshed, not the case. I’ve tried contacting the manager at the location, and no one has responded. I honestly feel WAY WORSE than before I went in. I can’t believe I had to pay for this, and have my back wrecked!!!

Amazing massage! I had a gift card for deep tissue massage and facial. Everything was neat and very professional. Everyone needs a basic massage at least once in two months

From my phone booking to how I was received, to the fabulous masseuse who listened to my instructions very attentively, it was extremely courteous, zen and happy walking off!

Outside of the food, and the most lovely people, what makes me miss Thailand the most is the spas. Here at Sabai Thai tho, it’s like being back in Chiang Mai. That’s probably because the owner is from Chiang Mai.
The atmosphere is tranquil, peaceful, and well, just pure bliss. The prices are reasonable and they have loyalty deals, not to mention 20% off just for mentioning Unilocal.
Today I had a Thai massage and hot compress. My massage therapist, Wassana, was so talented, caring and friendly that I nearly burst into joyful tears talking about Chiang Mai.
If you have never had Thai massage, it’s a bit of a shock– a lot of stretching, like a «lazy yoga.» But you leave feeling both restored and energized.
Don’t turn down the honey ginger tea, it’s delightful. And now, to go about the rest of my day, dreaming longingly for Thailand…

I rarely post reviews unless I come across something exceptional like this spa. The premises are nothing fancy, but perfectly clean and adequate. But the services are spectacular. I had possibly one of the bet massages I’ve had (and I’ve had a LOT! All over the world). I booked a mini facial also which was lovely and relaxing and included a facial massage and head massage. Divine. Thanks Sarah!

I wish I could stop here for appointments more frequently but it would end up being pretty pricy. Had an one hour Thai massage and had the tension in my back and shoulders worked on.
Also had a 30 min facial and it was really relaxing and thorough. My face and lips were well cleansed, exfoliated and moisturized. The location is lovely but hard to get to when it is rush hour with all the traffic. Really serene spa with relaxing music playing. The staff were friendly and nice and offered tea or water before and after your session. Will come back and maybe try their bamboo massage.

I loved the Thai massage. Got one from groupon and had Wassana for the 1^st session. And now I’m addicted. I love getting massages done and care about the techniques. I do some yoga and work out sometimes. So I like my massages to be quite strong. Don’t think I can go back to any other massages anymore! Love their Thai massage!

My Valentine surprised me with this 90 min massage. The Groupon saved about 200 dollars for a two 90 min massages. The ladies at the front desk were very nice and accommodated my running 15 mins late. The place smells like sage or rosemary, very nice. My masseuse Annie was gentle and but firm where I needed it. I found out a lot about my body and that I need a lot of kinks worked out. My Valentine loved his massage and we’ll most likely go again. Oh and the ginger tea is lovely.

I had the 60 min hydrating facial today. The massage was amazing, perfect for me, and I felt my skin really relax and soften from the different organic products used and the facial massage.
What made the facial really earn five stars was that they really take care to stimulate blood flow and drain excess lymphatic fluid from your face and neck, which requires the right technique and pressure. Most other spas I’ve been to just massage your face gently with products, but don’t focus on draining excess fluid down the jawline and neck, away from the face.
Afterwards I felt very relaxed and my skin had a nice soft healthy glow to it. New Year’s Resolution is to come back for this facial once a month :).

Love coming here for their Pure serenity package. It’s a massage, facial and scalp massage in 90 min. One of my most favorite ways to treat myself. Keep an eye out for deals on Groupon. It’s well worth it.

I had a pure serenity at Coal Horbor Location with Ruby. After my treatment, I felt like I could fly back to California. Love the hemisphere there and people go along pretty well with my 60 mins massage and 30 min facial that I never felt so good on my skin. Hope to return sometime soon.

Booking was efficiently done over the phone. Received a phone reminder the day before.
Spa had a welcoming atmosphere, with plants, pleasant staff, wooden interior and calming spa music. Ginger tea was also offered to every guest. The washroom was fully equipped with a shower room, a hair dryer, towels, bathrobe and even a brush (err, maybe bring your own).
I had the pure serenity package. My treatment included a 60-​minute body massage including a foot massage, followed by a 30-​minute facial. The appointment started on time.
My spa therapist was Yukiko, who was efficient, friendly and understanding. I let her know that I wanted something very relaxing after a long week. She was friendly and asked me few questions in the beginning, then let me zone out and get into myself. Totally what I needed.
I had knots in my back and Yukiko paid attention to those that I didn’t even realize would be there. She took her time with slathering massage oil, carefully putting pressure on the crevices of my body.
My facial was also quite an aromatic experience, with hints of coconut, lime and other fragrant sensations touching my skin. I felt refreshed afterwards and my skin felt good bare.
Overall, it was 90 minutes of pure bliss. I booked my next appointment already! Totally recommend :)

Just finished a visit to this spa. Bought a travelzoo offer for the serenity package which is a 60 min massage and 30 min facial for $ 107. Added bonus is you can park at the parking lot across from Westin and they validate it at Sabai … It was fantastic! Can’t say enough great things about the session. Wasn’t a typical Thai massage where they stretch hand pull u in all sorts of ways. It was a nice pressured relaxing massage.
Will definitely return. Also found out that u don’t need to buy a deal online. Just call them up and you can get the same deal for $ 99! Great!!! Can’t get any better than this… Now off for some sushi! I Love vancouver!

great spa space for parties.
my husband and i booked a «spa party» for our wedding party as our gift to them. the person i booked through made everything so easy. she was super approachable. the staff was also very organized. we had booked a total of 8 people. i believe that they can accommodate up to 10, but don’t quote me on that. we were able to pick and choose which massage we wanted to do individually. except for the thai massage, all of our massages were done in separate rooms. it was a great time to relax — especially after the year long planning of our wedding!

Yeah, yeah yeah. I bought and used a Groupon here. And you know what? It was so worth the shame of using it. I loved my experience here. I had already eyed this spa as it’s right around the corner from work, so when a Groupon came up for a massage and facial service, I jumped at it!
The place was very relaxing, the masseuse was great — she used really good pressure, and the products they use feel very nice.
I will def. be back for more!

Report on Sabai Thai Spa
Location: Coal Harbour
Interior: Natural comfort — wood, bamboo, earthy tones
Ideally For: A place to take yourself, your girls, and your mom
Service: Manicure
Price: $ 49
Duration: 1 hour
Details: File, cuticle care, buff, exfoliation, lotion massage, and polish application.
Massage: Great. About 5 minutes… likely the longest I’ve had for a mani, and great pressure.
Comments: Service REALLY is wonderful. Fellow Unilocalers have been raving about it, and most of them went with Groupons. Anyone who shops and primps and pampers as much as I do, knows there a minutiae of shame that comes with buying and using these deals. There shouldn’t be. Yet there is. I think it has a lot to do with the fact we’re treated so poorly when we hand them over. It’s much like using Priceline to book a hotel. Everyone wants to save a few bucks when they can, and there are options that let us. Sadly, it costs a bruised ego.
Not at Sabai Thai.
99% of their staff were lovely. The other 1%? Well that just my own neuroses. Something about them irked me — could have been their lack of professionalism, or their talk-​to-​much approach.
Sadly, my manicure did not last. It chipped on day 2. That’s where they lost points. Granted, Sparitual isn’t known for its longevity. It may have something to do with the fact it’s organic and vegan. Sometimes added chemicals have their upside.
Either way, I liked it enough to go back. This time I’m going to try their thai massage. It’s expensive, but if service and quality remain consistent — they’ll become a favourite monthly treat.
It’s not a luxurious oasis, but it is a cute little day spa without the pretentious pompous nonsense.
Products: Eminence for facials and Sparitual for hands and feet.
Longevity: Poor
Final Grade: B

I’m the workaholic type that doesn’t normally indulge in being kind to myself, but everyone needs to take a break and wind down once in a while. I had purchased a Groupon for the True Wellness package here about a year ago, and even though I usually feel like a cheap bastard when I use social shopping coupons, I found that I was still treated well by the staff here, serving to mitigate my feelings of shame. My upper back pain has been flaring up again, so I was delighted to see that Groupon was offering another deal for the True Wellness package.
It’s actually amazing how powerful such tiny Thai women can be. They inquire beforehand as to the level of pressure you prefer, and be forewarned that «deep pressure» is serious business. I normally spend the majority of the massage holding my breath so as not to either cry out or laugh hysterically — which probably doesn’t sound very relaxing — but it’s worth it afterwards. The facial that’s included in the package I could take or leave; I’m mostly here for the vigorous massage.
Everything here smells amazing, their tea is delicious, the staff are friendly, and it’s super clean. Their regular prices are a touch high, especially if you’re comparing to prices for comparable services in Thailand, but they regularly have promotions so that even people like me can indulge once in a while.
