I recently visited Ocean Spa and booked a 60-minute sports/athletic muscle recovery massage session, which was quite expensive compared to other spas in the city that offer a higher level of service.
Unfortunately, my experience left a lot to be desired for.
The receptionists were professional and well-presented, and the spa itself is spacious and visually appealing.
However, the experience as a whole didn’t feel relaxing.
The SPA seemed overly staffed, and I was always escorted and directed by someone, which made the visit feel rushed and controlled rather than peaceful. It felt like everything had to be done according to their plan, which is quite strange for a place that’s supposed to help you unwind.
I also noticed that, despite reading in other reviews about the jacuzzi (hot or cold) being offered after the massage, this wasn’t mentioned to me during my reservation or at the reception.
This left me wondering if there was no interest in promoting amenities that are quite common in popular SPAs in town
The layout was another downside - changing in one area, getting the massage in another area upstairs, and showering in yet another place downstairs….. i felt disjointed. Goin from place to another up and down stairs and elevator….
Most high-quality spas have more seamless set up and shower/change rooms integrated in the massage room.
As for the massage itself, I would rate it a 6 out of 10.
I’ve had much better sports massages in other spas in the city, such as Escape or Suave. While it wasn’t terrible, it definitely didn’t meet the standard I expect for the price charged.
This was my first, and likely my last visit...

I’ve been a regular customer to Ocean Spa (Al-Aqeeq), but this branch took it to the next level 💯.
I would like to sincerely thank all of the friendly staff members; starting from the welcoming reception (Ibrahim), the amazing masseuse (Ibrahim), the great Moroccan Bath team, to all of the kind cleaning/housekeeping staff.
A big THANK YOU also goes to the (owners) of this establishment for a breathtaking branch (location, entrance, reception area, corridors, massage rooms, showers, bathrooms, … etc).
Areas of improvement/consideration: More variety for drinks, specially the cold ones. Prices. Sauna temperature (a little bit low). Conditioners in the showers...

I recently visited Ocean Spa and had a pretty satisfying experience. The spa offers a variety of massages, but I must be honest, they are more for the feeling of a massage rather than a medical deep tissue massage. The atmosphere was great, and the spa was clean and inviting. The staff was friendly and professional, which added to the overall pleasant experience.
I would recommend Ocean Spa, but it's worth noting that it is on the expensive side. If you're looking for a luxurious spa experience and are willing to splurge a bit, this is a great...
