Oceanstone Resort & Hydrothermal Spa

This property is beautiful and the customer service was 10/10. The spa section is small and maybe lacking a bit of extras. I really enjoyed the self serve tea station outside and the cold walk river. The hot tubs and saunas were beautiful and good temperatures. The saunas could have used some essential oils; there was a bit of a stink. Some background music and something else for the senses would have been nice. Changing room was small and the frosted shower doors were not private enough (could see a lot of body silhouette). I believe they are still adding and expanding, I would definitely visit again.

The hydrothermal spa is awesome, and the restaurant is great! We stayed in the Ocean Vista suite. I would not pay the high price to stay here again. We did not sleep well due to the machines stored below the suite. They were constantly turning on and off, keeping us awake throughout the night. The cleanliness of the room can also be improved. The suite smelled of mould, and there were spiders all around the ceilings. We also found balls of hair around the floors of the suite. We opted to shower at the spa rather than the room as the shower was not clean. For the price, the rooms need some work.

Easily, no question, better bang for your buck at Sensea Spa. This spa is about half the size, check-in direction could have been clearer… what bothered me the most was the very loud talking and laughing from other guests. When I brought to this attention of front staff after giving my input on the experience, the response was that talking was “not discouraged”. Now I understand talk at a low voice, whispering – sure. But what we dealt with was people coming in and out of the saunas laughing, yelling loudly, no respect for individuals around them. An experience to a hydrotherapy spa should be a place to relieve stress, relax, put your mind at ease – I felt absolutely none of that on my waste of a three hour stay. In fact, I felt tense and very disappointed after leaving. Needless to say, Oceanstone – do better. I will not be returning. 100% waste of money and absolutely do NOT recommend.

Staff was friendly. Had a hard time finding the office, more signage would have been helpful. Hot pool was nice, the saunas were hot. The cold plunge was nice. There are multiple fire pits to relax around, but they are very close together. We only did the hot and cold aspect of the spa, would love to try the accommodations.

An intimate experience that suits small groups of friends or a couples retreat. Staff were professional and welcoming. The grounds and location are beautiful. Everything you need (robes, towels, sandals, lotions, shampoo etc) are provided or sold there (warm socks, toques, bathing suit). I enjoyed the complimentary peppermint tea from the hydration station. After three hours of hot/cold repeats, I felt amazing and enjoyed a delicious lunch at Rhubarb restaurant. Weather was about 6 degrees, sunny and no wind. It was a perfect spa experience and so close to Halifax. We will be back and will add on spa services! Thank you!

Tried out the new Thermal Spa! Overall it was very relaxing with some nice touches, including the free water / tea station and the robes that are included. They are media and device free which was really nice. We were also able to walk out to the beautiful beach. I wish there had been another cold pool. We love the resort, so next time we hope to be able to get a room and reservation at the restaurant!
