AvantGard Spa

If you are looking for a quality massage from a skilled masseuse/masseur on the peninsula, definitely give AvantGard in San Carlos a visit. The facilities are clean and welcoming...complete with complimentary hot and iced tea. There is also a relaxing lounge beyond the receptionist/shop area. The front office staff are always pleasant and add to the relaxing atmosphere from the very beginning. I randomly chose Pacha-Mateo as my massage therapist the first time I went and have never looked back. H

I had a life-changing massage with Res. Perfect pressure! He made me feel comfortable to ask any questions if I had them, checked in with me a couple of times to ask if the pressure was ok and he was easy to talk to to and has mad massage skills. I will be seeing him again soon! Worth every penny!

Great interior design, beautifully done and reminds me of top spas. Body worker was also excellent, respectful, skilled, and professional. The front desk staff were pleasant but aloof Another guest asked me for where the water station was, which was something also not initially offered to me.

I absolutely love this place, beautiful atmosphere, calming and clean. The infused water and tea they give you to hydrate are a nice touch. The retail store in the front has such awesome products. But frankly I have been to a lot of spa's all around the country and the level of professionalism and the quality of care is off the charts. I have had incredible massages with Rez and Pacha they are both strong and gentle at the same time. Pacha is very Zen and it is an experience to have a massage

Got a massage here last week and it was not good. My massage therapist seriously lacked technique and on top of that I think she zoned out a few times as she spent way too long rubbing the left side of my neck. Interior is lovely. I would consider going back and trying someone else.
