Marin Family Spa 1007 C Street, San Rafael, CA 94901

"Very simple place that’s very clean, with a polite and accommodating staff. Amazing prices and the best massages I’ve received in Marin. WAY better than the upscale spas in the area and extremely therapeutic. Highly recommend the reflexology treatment!"

"Always consistent. Great full body massage. Value for money probably the best around."

"I’ve been here several times and am heading back again tomorrow after a way too long break. This is my only place for massage. I have extensive injuries to my back, knee and hip and they always handle me perfectly. People that come in do not always get what is going on and can be disruptive and the employees are always beyond polite regardless of some really bad behavior that I have personally witnessed but regardless, they maintain a serene and relaxing environment and take away all my aches and pains!!"

"They took me in with no appointment when they opened for a 60 minute massage. Helen, the massage therapist gave me an excellent massage, periodically checking in with me about the pressure and to see how I was doing. She focused on what I asked her to and gave me a wonderful Swedish massage, using all the strokes that comprise the Swedish modality. I will definitely return! And the prices are great!"

"This new spa opened less than 2 months ago and is conveniently located in downtown San Rafael across from a parking lot (that's free after 18:00!). The facility is calming, quiet, and clean. I came for a full-body massage and left feeling more relaxed. They ask you to mark areas to focus on/avoid beforehand. I think this is the first place I've been to where the full-body massage includes a facial massage (having my earlobes massage was strangely nice) and hot stones. The hot stones were a first for me, and I liked how soothing the heat was after they cooled down a bit. (Definitely tell your masseuse if it's too hot for you because they really are hot!) Pros: location & parking, pricing, hot stones included in full-body massage Cons: special pricing is cash-only, no online booking/must call to schedule an appointment, some language barrier"
