I went to the Oaks many years ago and returned with my daughter recently. Unfortunately, we were dissappointed. The front desk checked us into an occupied room and forgot wkae up calls for other guests. Exercise classes were old fashioned and not very rigorous. There is hardly any yoga. Salt is completely forbidden even for people who want it and... More

I am a 49-year old woman and just spent 4 nights here with my mom (84) and a friend. Had a great time and would definitely go back. Agree with what other reviewers have said about the relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere, the surprisingly good food, the very good value, the great variety of classes and activities. Now for a few FYIs... More

This is my fourth visit to The Oaks and I am never disappointed! This is a true spa/health resort experience with challenging classes and excellent low-cal food. The staff is very welcoming and helpful, whatever your needs. There is a wide range of rooms, from very basic to luxury "casitas" with a nice range of cost to meet most everyone's... More

Just wanted to thank all the staff and guests for another wonderful weekend stay. My mom and I celebrated our birthdays at the Oaks. The lobby remodeling is beautiful. The other guests are so friendly. We went on two "brisk" walks led by the "other Shelia" that is 73 years old. I am only 45 and had a hard time... More

This is my 5th trip to the Oaks. It's unpretentious, relaxed, warm and friendly. You can work out like crazy (major hikes, Zumba, weights & balls & hoops, etc.), you can use time for healing, soothing, centering (yoga, gentle stretching, morning nature walks), or just hang out with friends and family (Ojai is a very cool town to explore). Massage,... More

I visited the Oaks in Ojai with a friend in September and really enjoyed my stay here! This is a small, cozy, all-inclusive resort focused on healthy living. There were LOADS of fitness classes to take all day long if you desire! You can wake up at 6:00 am and start your day with a hike around in the local... More

If you want a luxury spa where you will be pampered, this is not the place for you. However, if you want to refocus your life back to a healthy lifestyle and meet real, fabulous, interesting people, this is your place. It is very casual, and the guests and staff are warm and friendly. They offer a huge variety of... More

I was in town recently on business and decided to include a Spa-stop to this local icon while visiting the area. The 'Oak's' property is a longstanding fixture in Ojai proper and the Spa Industry, in general. I looked into one of their several 'Spa Fitness Packages' and decided on the reasonably-priced Fitness Spa Day selection @ only 129.00 for... More

I came here because my husband was on a business trip nearby & I needed help with my diet. I did the Sunday thru Friday plan. This was not my first fitness spa so I had somewhat of an idea what to expect. It's still surprising to see the Oaks right in the Ojai downtown. Due to not much going... More
