We've been a number of times over the past two years, and I've gotten good service from everyone except Edy, the supervisor (who gave me a massage today.) A year ago, he yanked on my finger so hard it dislocated. Today, he tried over and over to upsell me on a more expensive massage (bear in mind nobody's ever suggested... More

Based on TA ratings & recos we picked Sabai to get a massage, and it was one of the best I've gotten in my life. I had a friend who had gone there few months back and recommended it. When I checked the reviews on TA, it echo'd his feedback. You can get 2 massages for $46 in the beach/5th... More

This was the second year we returned to Sabai Spa off 5th Avenue in Playa Del Carmen. We did not want to pay resort prices for a full body massage which goes from $100-$200 per hour. Last year, we stayed at The Royal in Playa Del Carmen and fell upon Sabai by accident. We were leery at first, but, we... More

A recent vacation stay at a rented condo in Playacar prompted me to find a place to enjoy a relaxing massage and a refreshing facial. I preferred NOT to have it at an 'on the beach' massage table where anyone can intrude upon my privacy....although privacy is not really attainable when you get your massage on the public beach. I...

My sister and I went on an adult spring break this year. Our husbands went on a deep sea fishing excursion which was a man thing. My sister and I had talked about going to a spa for a facial and a massage the morning the guys fished. The Sabai Spa had great reviews so we thought we would give... More

My wife & I did the couples outdoor deep tissue massage with Mary & Anita. We enjoyed it so much that we went back for a swedish massage because we didn't think we could handle another deep tissue so close together! Both were excellent and we would highly recommend based on the quality of the massage for the price. More

This is a must do while in Playa. My wife and I average about two massages per week on every vacation to this area. We have tried several other places, and agree that this is far superior to any other place. Try it once, and you will be a regular customer too. More
