What recent reviews say

Life Day Spa delivers excellent treatments when therapists like Adiel, Jessica, and Valerie are on duty and management like Avril make clients feel genuinely cared for. Yet booking is fraught: calls go unreturned for days, appointments get confirmed without consent, and refunds vanish into limbo for weeks.

The experience swings wildly depending on which therapist and front-desk staff you encounter. Massages can be transformative or bland and surface-level. Facilities are clean but cramped (tiny steam room, noisy music system). At R1,250 for a 90-minute massage, many feel they pay luxury prices for inconsistent, often generic work.

Praised for
  • skilled therapists and personalised touches

Watch-outs
  • poor communication and long response times
  • booking system failures and unanswered contact attempts
  • refunds not processed or delayed weeks
  • generic, lightweight massage technique
  • inconsistent service delivery across therapists
  • noisy treatment rooms and technical issues
  • upselling add-ons at additional cost
  • overpriced relative to service quality

Best for: Repeat clients and members who know which therapists to book and have time to navigate booking logistics.

What reviews say by service

Spa & Wellness Retreats
Therapist quality varies widely; some clients report transformative massages and facials, others find treatments generic and surface-level for the price.
Luxury All-Inclusive Wellness Resorts
Facilities are clean and include salt room and pool access, but amenities are limited and cramped; upselling of add-ons at extra cost undermines luxury positioning.
Medical Wellness & Weight-Loss Clinics
No clear evidence of medical treatments or clinical services in reviews; category may not be actively practised.

Reviewers consistently report feeling genuinely welcomed and deeply relaxed from arrival through treatment. Therapists like Janeska, Andiswe, and Zulfah take time with each guest, matching pressure and technique to need; staff at reception (Trinity named) remain calm and patient throughout. Facilities are clean and aesthetically inviting, with pool access adding to the retreat feel. One guest noted the jacuzzi was occupied for hours, limiting access. The spa's signature treatments-Swedish massage, facials with visible skin results lasting over a week, and couples packages for anniversaries-come at mid-range pricing (R590–R2900 depending on service). Open daily across Century City and Old Mutual locations.

Chalila Spa earns consistent praise for its skilled therapists and serene garden setting in Table View. Guests describe feeling genuinely pampered: massages ease tension, staff greet visitors warmly, and packages include perks like jacuzzi access and refreshments. One recent frustration: a customer's waxing appointment fell through because staff didn't receive the Fresha app booking and lacked supplies on arrival. They waited 20 minutes, received an apology but no gesture of goodwill, and felt their time was undervalued. Most visits run smoothly, but systems need tightening.
