With friendly staff, a serene ambiance, and pristine cleanliness, it's a haven for anyone seeking holistic wellness and rejuvenation.

I visited eco chateau for the infrared sauna. The place is clean and the staff are friendly. Three stars only because the sauna didn't reach the target temperature until about the last 10-15 minutes of my 40-minute session. I contacted management and asked for a refund. Instead I was offered a complimentary session. When I tried to take them up on it, I didn't receive a response to my email. I'm not mad, just wouldn't go back.

I had a fabulous experience at Eco Chateau and enjoyed a 60min heavenly massage with Dominique. She was very professional and excellent in her technique and pressure. I felt exceptionally relaxed after the massage and look forward to returning! The only downside of my experience was finding the actual spot that is tucked in the very back in a large complex of offices - to new visitors, look for the Rio Sur sign on Camino Del Rio and turn in and drive all the way back.

Because of the great variety and quality of services, including an amazing staff. I will return and recommend to others.

I was tricked! I paid for a foot detox treatment - only to find out it's just a gimmick. Do you research before paying for rusty water.

"You'll see the excreted toxins in the water. The water will change color and consistency--from orange, brown through to black." Yellow is said to come from the kidneys and bladder; orange/brown from the joints; green/dark brown to black from the liver, gall bladder and/or bowel; and white from the lymphatic system. Grease or fat particles may float on top of the water. According to the company, the process can be used to improve liver and kidney function; circulation; general metabolism; arthritis and joint pain; headaches; fatigue; irritability; menstrual pain; skin problems; mercury and heavy metal toxicity; food allergies, and poor digestion [2].

The above claims are nonsensical. Most of the listed conditions do not have a toxic basis. Positive and negative ions cannot "resonate" throughout the body in response to any such device. And the skin has no ability to excrete toxins. Real detoxification of foreign substances takes place in the liver, which modifies their chemical structure so they can be excreted by the kidneys which filter them from the blood into the urine.

The Aqua Detox is said to have been developed by "Dr." Mary Staggs based on "research" by Royal Rife [3]. Staggs, who is British, obtained two naturopathy degrees from a nonaccredited American correspondence school and appears to do most of her work in Spain [4]. Rife was an American inventor who, during the 1920s, claimed to have developed a powerful microscope that could detect living microbes by the color of auras emitted by their vibratory rates [5]. A survey by science journalist Ray Girvan has identified at least 19 other devices that are similar to the Aqua Detox [6]. Most of the devices sell for about £1,000.

Many skeptics suspected that the color change produced by the Aqua Detox was caused by rust (oxidized iron), rather than toxins. Ben Goldacre, who writes the "bad science" column for Guardian Unlimited (an online British newspaper), investigated by using a car battery to send current through two metal nails that he placed into a bowl of salt water. The water turned brown and developed some sludge on top. Then he sent a colleague to get "detoxed" and collect before-and-after water samples. Laboratory testing showed that in both cases, the change of water color was due to greatly increased iron content [7]. Thus it appears that (a) the color change is due mainly to the precipitation of rust created by corrosion of the electrodes, and (b) the water would change color regardless of whether or not a foot was placed in it.

The Guardian Unlimited article has had some impact on how the Aqua Detox and its imitators are marketed. Some marketers admit that the colors are due entirely to electrode conversion, and there is less emphasis on toxin removal and more emphasis on the "balancing" of "energy" that is not measurable with scientific instruments (and is therefore untestable.) But the bottom line is very simple. All such devices should be considered medically worthless.

Chalise and Lauren are amazing, the entire staff and vicinity are magical, thank you for all of the love and nourishment. I can't wait to come back and try some of the detox treatments too:)

The friendly and attentive staff, as well as the services offered are just the icing on the cake of this hidden gem in Mission Valley.
I had a 90 min. "Heavenly Massage" with Dominque and it was truly heavenly. She listened to my concerns and was perfect with her technique and pressure. I was so relaxed that my last 15-20 minutes felt like a blur.
After my heavenly massage I had an organic facial with Chelsea...let me just say that it was pure bliss (especially being directly after my massage; perfect combo). Chelsea discussed some of my skin concerns and tailored the facial to meet my skin's needs. Not only was she knowledgeable, but her calm demeanor and technique had me relaxed and feeling like a pampered princess.
And to top things off, they give teachers a 10% discount! I will definitely be back!

Spa is welcoming and well equipped.
Staff is always curtesous. Therapist are knowledgeable, effective and always listen to my concerns. I highly recommend both of Eco Chateau locations....I've been to both. Chula Vista and Mission Valley.

Nice facility. I wish the rooms are a bit bigger but they serve their functions, can't complain about that :D I went with mom to experience the infrared sauna. Staffs always provided dry towels and checked in on us after our sessions. They also offered water and direction to restroom in case we needed that. The service and communication there make me feel very comfortable and welcoming

The place is covered with essential oil so I love that a lot. No shower but they have lavender water in a bowl with cold towel to let you wipe off instead!

I came in for a facial with Amy. It was such a great experience. If I came in as a potato. I left as mash potatoes with butter and gravy on them in a great way. Will be back.
