I had previously given Sante a 2*, but I will upgrade that to 3 because of their willingness to hear out the customers concerns. My reasons for this rating are: 1. No effort was put into inquiring about gown or shoe sizes of their guests, all prior communication was based on securing the full payment first (sizes were incorrect) 2. The experience is more individual-based, may not be a great idea for couples since everything is done separately, except lunch 3. The last bits of the experience felt very rushed maybe due to transport challenges that masseuses experience, this was during the Taxi violence period in Cape Town.Perhaps diversifying services for joint experiences and considering a shuttle service for the workers might resolve some of the issues - sincerely.
Santé Wellness Spa & Retreat is the ultimate sanctuary for anyone who wants to recharge and rejuvenate.Santes Day Spa does not just offer a spa experience with their unique treatment methodologies, signature therapies, but they are also providing an exquisite healthy cuisine experience.Santé believes that nourishing the body through lovely food is an integral part of their offering and part of their overall wellness experience.
Beautiful wellness retreat located between Franschhoek and Paarl. Checked in for a full day of spa treatments, every treatments must be booked and paid for in full in advance. Warm welcome and friendly staff. Santé has the best treatment menu in the area and are really well priced compared to competitors. Offering a wider variety of treatments as well. Think aesthetic facial treatments will be a great add to their menu. All the treatments were great, loved the full body massage and Rashul. Hammam is also great experience and your skin will thank you. The products used are absolutely exquisite especially the mud and body scrubs.The facial treatment was a bit short compared to previous experiences.As it was a long day, I was disappointed by the lunch as it was only soup [delicious] and seeded bread. I was informed its due to the hotel kitchen being closed because of covid-19. Would have been nice to know this before hand. Also a smoothie or drink with the meal would have been nice. Feel that better provisions can be made to solve this. Feel as well the treatments at the end were rushed and the manicurist lacked skill. I had to redo my nails, directly after the treatment. Also its been 2 days and the nael lacquer already started chipping off.
What an amazing place. Perfect for some peace and quiet in a beautiful nature setting with friendly staff to boot.
Treatments, food, care and venue was wonderful
Our visit was great. It was very relaxing. The food was amazing and I loved the vegan food and the healthy path they follow.My mom however got short rib, 2 nights in a row and it was just all fat. We asked for something else and they brought ostrich, so that was nice of them.The owners or whoever came to say hi, but didnt event introduce themselves so we didnt know who they were.The next night they had dinner with some friends and were so very noisy, I was about to scream downstairs for them to shut up, as we wanted to sleep and it was late. I find this highly disrespectful, as it is a wellness and relaxing retreat, but they drink and scream through the whole night.The yoga instructor Cheryl was amazing, we enjoyed it very much.
Awesome venue, people and service. Worth a visit any day.
Stunning spa, stunning grounds , highly recommend
Sante Health Optimizing offers absolutely the state of the art treatments. As I walked into the building, I felt an incredible peace. I have been to many good places but Sante is its own class. Every corner is beautifully decorated as well as comfortable. The staff were very friendly and professional. The top class of every aspect as a medical spa resort. I am coming back with my friends and family!
Spent a full day at the Spa. Was a wonderful treat. Food was good, the treatments divine. The road to the top was fun, but could do with some grading. The staff were friendly and very helpful.
If you need professionals to look after you this is the place. Pure natural healing the minute you walk through the door. Attention to detail, personal attention, stunning setting and incredible food. You will leave a different person
A 5-star service experience received from reception to therapist. Modern facility with peace and tranquility as its main objective. All set in the beautiful heart of the Cape Winelands.
The entire place exudes wellness and serenity. The menu is designed to be conscious of ones health. The staff are very friendly and well informed of the holistic way of life. The chef also very knowledgeable and very passionate.
This is one of the TOP spa and wellness retreat destinations I’ve been to. Neat, clean and in immaculate condition, the friendly professional staff really make your stay worthwhile
Stunning views. The rooms are lovely except for no wall plugs at desk. Plugs at entrance not working. Remote with flat batteries in it. When we went down to restaurant for a meal, there was no staff to be found. Water not draining properly in shower so you stand in a puddle of water. At least there was decaf coffee and we slept well. The champagne might have added to that but the bed and bedding was good. Gee wifi only in certain areas.
Had lunch in Day Spa Dining today. The lunch is superb. 5 courses all exquisitely honestly healthy cuisine ( no gluten dairy or sugar) fish only from the SASSI list and organic veg and salad. Thank you chef Terence Ford and your superb Team
Sweet baby carrots this place is special slice of heaven! Ive never been to such an enormous spa before but very basically there isnt a treatment you wont find here. I had a head and scalp massage and left in an elevated state of sleep ecstacy / sleep. Ill let the (totally unfiltered because its not necessary) pictures speak for themselves but, basically, this is the place to come if youre in need of rest, recovery, and rejuvenation.
Had a massage, pedicure plus lunch. Pure bliss in a beautiful setting. Booking my next visit tomorrow. Well done. You guys rock!😊
Absolutely the most exquisite spa I have ever visited! Besides the breathtaking scenery, the beautiful products, stunning therapy rooms, and highly trained therapists make every visit a treat. Cant wait for my next treatment. Thank you, Sante Spa. 💛💛
I shouldnt be telling you this, because it is my wife and my little secret getaway, but Sante is the only place we think of when it comes to treating Mom and Dad for a little together time. The Spar is wonderfully relaxing and the hotel is just so luxurious and makes you feel like royalty. Yup this is well worth a visit and possibly a stay over for the night. But please dont go and tell everyone other wise it wont be our secret anymore!
Spa was not up to standard. They dont make you feel special when receiving a half or full day package. Food was not nice. You tend to feel like Cattle being moved from one room to the other. They allow people to play on their cell phones while receiving treatments in a room full of people. Not enough toilets in the changing rooms. Overall we felt like we wasted our time and money. Very disappointing.
A must visit, for a magical spa experience, different packages to choose from. Professional staff and will make you go back for a second time
Great place we went for a day spa the lunch was all organic and very good the treatments at the spa where great and staff very friendly. We will be back.
Beautiful location & great customer service

Really good Hotel and Spa! Been to it and had great service! Keep Doing What You Are Doing Sante!
Had a great day with my best friend. Good breakfast, lovely spa package, good lunch and farewell gift.
The spa was as amazing as the veiw.The staff were professional and friendly.Deffenetly worth your money and time.
Very nice and friendly staff. Had a wonderful day with good friends
Exquisite, friendly and every need catered for. Sante is a seamless retreat for those ill, fatigued, stressed or just in need of some good ol pampering and relaxation. Youll find all your needs catered for. My husband was treated at Health Optimiser, from when he walked in until he left, all I can say is that it is great to have my husband back. Well be back for follow up treatments to ensure my husband goes from strength to strength and Ill ensure to indulge (again) in the heavenly spa and out of this world healthy cuisine. Thank you Sante and Health Optimiser. Namaste
They are professional, fun and unashamedly African. The facilities are gorgeous and the treatments were good.
Lovely amenities. Trained, professional staff.
Excited to visit Sante this weekend since I have never heard a bad thing about Sante and the pampering they give to their guests.

Awesome treatment experience and exceptional customer service.
I was introduced to this sanctuary at our 2013 work Year-End function. Most definitely coming back with my family. .
Loved it
Beautiful place. Food portions ridiculously small.
Most beautiful environment and excellent standard of treatments
Beautiful hotel and spa - amazing setting and friendly staff. The spa is a bit over priced for what you get, but the experience of spending a weekend with the spa and in and around the property - was lovely.
Cold and impersonal. Never saw our host
Ask for Ronald if you want a next level massage
Way above expectations, can strongly recommend.
Does medical aids cover the cost as it is very expensive
Most relaxing experience of my life
Fabulous spa, just what you need to unwind.
This is a fake address. Dont go there
