I checked all over for a good spa to visit during our stay in the Monterey/Carmel area. After reading reviews and visiting the spas websites, I chose Spa on the Plaza. Boy was I glad I did. The interior is terrific and beautifully appointed. There is a large changing room with lockers (robe and slippers), showers and amenities. The quiet area is good to relax in both before and after your treatment. I had the mud wrap which started with a nice warm bath soak followed by the wrap. But, the best part was the massage I got from Ottie who really knows her stuff! I had a few aches in my low back and upper right shoulder. She has just the right amount of strength followed by an even stroke that soothed these areas. I was very pleased with her technique and came away from the massage just as I had intended!
