This place is amazing. I've been coming here for years and I love how they ask me everytime I come in what I need that day. They don't assume it's the same problem every time like other spas. They are quick to make appointments and have amazing prices. I was bummed when Diane left, but all the other girls are just as great. I went in once with a horrible migraine and Ashley made it go away in an hour! That girl knows her stuff! I made this place my go to when I have pain and I recommend it to everyone. read more

Awesome 90 minute massage with cupping. Ashley was phenomenal. Relaxing environment and fantastic service.

I moved to Carlsbad 10 months ago and had a massage at Ocean Day. It was great. I bought my partner a gift certificate for a 90 minute massage and he enthusiastically showed up for his appointment. Following his massage he exited the treatment room to hear/see his masseuse tell her coworker "I can't believe how fat he is, uck" Upon noticing him she said "oh crap" and walked down the hall. This is apparently not an emotionally safe place unless you have a well proportioned body. Fat shaming should not be a component of your service. We won't be returning or referring friends to your spa. read more

5-star atmosphere, professionalism, attitude and ambience. Took 'mother-in-law' for her first massage in a number of years and she was over-joyed! She tells me Karen was the cat's meow. For me, I was made comfortable in their little waiting area with a neck pillow and served hot tea while I read and waited. Frankly, I could have read and waited longer still it was so nice. Very nice place and great employees. Next time we'll take advantage of some of their other services as this little get-away has it all. Thanks Ocean Day! read more

This was my first message and to be honest I didn't know what to expect, I was very surprised at how professional and caring the staff was when addressing my needs! I will most definitely would recommend Ocean Day Spa and their caring staff :o) read more

I absolutely LOVE this spa. I will not go anywhere else. This small little business is a little gem and I just love everything about it, the staff, the ambiance, the prices and the service are all just amazing. Ashley has done my facials and Michelle has given me some of the best massages. They offer monthly specials which are a killer deal on pricing and by far some of the best in the area. The products they use are really good and they can fit you in for appointments really quick. I've been coming here for years and I highly recommend this place to anyone. read more

This place is called "Pure Heaven" You will leave feeling fabulous. Great environment, Staff, Price, Quality Massage. Go Girls!

Great Spa!!! Ocean Day Spa has been my spa for 3 years & I'm always pleased with the care I receive. read more

Just had a very relaxing 90 minute facial with Ashley. Wow! The setting and room are so relaxing and they have these really cozy microfiber sheets on the table. The facial was fabulous and relaxing. Ashley is dual certified in aesthetics and massage therapy. She does the facial then gave me a massage on shoulders, arms and feet. Ashley has a delightful way about her and strong hands to get that amazing deep massage too. I highly recommend Ocean Day Spa! read more

Despite some of the negative reviews that were listed for this spa, I had a fantastic experience there. My sister-in-law was visiting and I thought I would surprise her with a massage. I, too, purchased one for myself with Diane and was overjoyed with the attention I received. I woke up that morning with a sort of 'sour' stomach. I told Diane about it and she went and found some ginger oil to massage on my stomach. She asked and listened to how much pressure I would like for my massage, which I like deep tissue normally and she did just that! After the massage, she even fixed me a little 'drink' of some nano greens to help with my tummy problem. The next day I received a very thoughtful thank you card from Diane and she even wrote she hoped I was feeling better. I thought the spa was serene and peaceful, the staff was professional and caring. Would definitely go back again. read more

OCEAN DAY SPA is absolutely the BEST SPA EVER!! I went in two weeks ago for a 60 minute pedicure with Veronica which was unbelievable! It was by far the best pedicure I have ever had. Based on my very positive experience I decided to schedule a massage with Kerry (owner of Ocean Day Spa) a week later. I didn't think I could be anymore impressed, but I was incorrect! Kerry is truly amazing! She asked me several questions to pinpoint how the massage could be most effective for me. She was fabulous, her hands are like magic. I will definitely be returning for another miraculous massage. After my massage, I decided to schedule a facial with Virginia. And again, I could not have been more impressed. She knew exactly what my skin needed and altered my facial to most benefit my skin concerns. She was so very knowledgeable about her products and how to team them up for maximum effectiveness. Prior to going to Ocean Day Spa I loved to purchase Groupons and other daily deals. Although, 99% of the time I was not impressed with my purchase and did not return to the business. After trying Ocean Day Spa, I will no longer be on the look out for deals from other spa's, I will only be returning to the extremely competent team at Ocean Day Spa. Try this Spa and you will never go anywhere else! Jaime R. read more

What the heck? I read the other reviews and really thought this place was going to be fantastic. However, I was not impressed AT ALL. From the moment I walked in and sat in the "sanctuary" area and was offered a glass of arrowhead water like it was something special. Then I had a pedicure where I felt like I was totally inconvienencing the girl. She didn't say a word to me and didn't seem to care about my comfort. I was supposed to have a Shellac manicure and instead got some other brand that has already chipped off after a week. Not happy with this place at all. I think it's misleading. read more

Simply love Ocean day spa & staff!! I have been coming here since opening. Over 8 year's. My family and friends already know what to get me for Christmas or my bday gift certificate :-) I live & work close by. So relaxing ,soothing..always leaving feeling so relaxed. Great customer service from front receptionist as well. Thanks team !! read more

OK, call me a massage-junkie. I am. About 7 years ago, my forty-ish body started complaining rather loudly, after years of international flights of 26 hours or more, weekend warrior frenzies in the garden, and fleeting attempts at the gym to stay fit. But I am now convinced that if you can afford it, massage therapy is not just a splurge; it is part of a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise and good nutrition. I have tried countless massage therapists, from the frou-frou $$$$ kind to the no-nonsense sports medicine kind, to the we-bring-the -table to-your-home kind, to the hotel kind (in many different countries, and many different methods). So after all that, I have to say that Ocean Day Spa has bragging rights to the best massage therapist I have ever had. Kerry, who is both a massage therapist and owner, is truly gifted. She pays attention to the trigger points I tell her about and finds ones I didn't know I had. She goes back to the stubborn ones until she gets them to release, and is friendly without chatting incessantly (after all, the point is to relax, right?). The monthly specials are an amazing deal. I know there are a lot of spas around the SD area; I have tried a bunch. But this one is the real deal. read more

I don't understand why this place has such great reviews. I went there for a pedicure and I didn't get any type of massage. It was so overpriced. read more

The best way to spend my day is having Virginia give me a facial! From the first time that she gave me my first facial many years ago to today she has been friendly and very knowledgeable of the products she uses. The entire staff goes out of their way to make sure I am comfortable and have everything I need. I highly recommend Ocean Day Spa! Ask for Virginia for your facial! read more

I received a gift card through Spa Finder and decided to try Ocean Day Spa, as their extremely reasonable pricing would allow my certificate to go further. I had a massage with Kate. It was amazing. I don't treat myself often (or ever) so this was something special. I left feeling relaxed and energized. Two days later I received a hand-written note via snail mail from Kate thanking me for my business and inviting me back to Ocean Day Spa. It's the small, thoughtful touches that really set businesses apart. Can't wait for my next visit! read more

A hidden gem in Carlsbad!! Ocean Day Spa is truly a fantastic experience that is head and shoulders above the rest! I have had massages at resorts on Maui (Grand Walea), the Four Seasons Carlsbad, La Costa Resort and Spa, Trilogy (Manhattan Beach), Massage Envy (Carlsbad). I kept trying until I found Ocean Day Spa and have no desire or need to look any further. Kerry (the owner), and her staff, has a natural gift of healing through massage therapy. I work in a high stress job, in front of a computer, or in strategic meetings, and coming to Ocean Day Spa has been such a great relief of that stress! I come in for a 90 minute (sometimes 60) massage thinking I have just the typical upper back/shoulder stress - and throughout my massage Kerry finds areas that are tight that I didn't even realize, and works me into a peaceful and relaxing abyss. I could go on, but I hope you take the word of all that have posted here, and get to experience first hand how amazing the massage is! Enjoy! read more

I visit Ocean Day Spa in Carlsbad, every time I vacation in California. It's my happy place and have loved every service. My daughter had her 1st facial there and was well educated on how to take care of her skin being a teenager. Actually going 2x's this vacation read more

Ocean Day Spa is hands down one. of the best Massage Spas in San Diego. From the moment you walk in, it is pure relaxation and you'll be pampered in every possible way. The staff is caring and goes out of their way to make sure that your treatment is special. Kerry, who is also the owner. is a gifted genius at massage. She has a way of really getting into the knots in your muscles and getting them to release all the stress and tension from your body. The sessions are transformational. I highly recommend Ocean Day Spa, you'll love every minute! read more

Beautiful, calm, relaxing, peaceful, serene, feel-good. Ocean Day Spa is truly an oasis. Step out of the strip mall/business center and into luxury pampering at competitive prices. Facials with Virginia are pure bliss and skin comes out beautiful. Massages with any of the therapists release every last nasty knot. Acupuncture with Alyssa is a unique, energizing experience. There is just no way to go wrong here. Arrive a few minutes early to decompress and enjoy a cup of delicious complementary tea before your treatment. If you're looking for a spa and narrowing down your choices as you're reading these Yelp reviews, look no further. Call Ocean Day Spa, book a treatment, and you'll never look back. read more

Ashley (facial) and Viki (massage) were fantastic! I couldn't have asked for a better experience during either treatment.

This is a great spa, my microdermabrasion was excellent. Will be coming back :)

I've had 2 massages here from Cari Bacon (one prenatal). Both were excellent! Very cute place. Nice and tranquil. Will be returning!

consistently great service! Highly recommend trying cupping as an add on to your massage.

Carey was amazing! She asked great questions at the beginning and tailored the massage perfectly for my issues. Prices are reasonable, the facility is lovely, and there's a good food court nearby. I'm just sad I live on the other side of the country. Otherwise, I'd visit regularly. Highly recommend to anyone in the area. read more

I was recommended to go here by my sister. I have used their services for close to 5 years. I usually come in for a facial which lasts 1 hour. I love the ambiance of the rooms and the service is excellent. I feel you get what you pay for. I especially love the hot rocks when massaging my arms and neck. This last visit, I had some really tense muscles in my shoulders and neck, and she knew just how to relax and massage those areas. I felt so much better when I left for home. Thumbs up for this business! read more

This is the best place to get the pregnancy package. My mother in law gave this to me as a gift and it was the best message experience. Since then, I have had multiple hand and foot treatments that I would recommend to any friend or family. It was so soothing and my feet felt amazing. read more

Love the pedicure I received from Veronica! I am very particular, and am happy to say I have found my new favorite spa. I can't wait to try other treatments. read more

I have been going to this Spa for years... I lived in Hawaii and studied massage therapy, and love the variety and options at this Spa. There is always a deal, always a promotion, and the staff caters to all of my Spa parties and mixed reservation requirements! The ambiance is lovely, the staff is extensively knowledgable and talented... Definately the best bodywork I've found in my travels ... and the Facial and Foot treatments are fantastic. Did I mention the best bodywork?? Yes, I really mean that. I have issues here and specifications there - and they meet all my needs, every time. I live downtown San Diego - I don't mind the travel to this gorgeous neighborhood.... I recently told the staff with a potential move, my PERK list inlcuded more BODY WORK at Ocean Day Spa Carlsbad! As a business owner, I brought some of my team members in for an xmas gift last year, and it was honestly one of the best Spa-Dates I've ever had! Thank you, Kerry! I HEART OCEAN DAY SPA. read more

This is one classy place. They offer you something to drink when you come in, and have cool products there that I have not seen in other spas. Michelle was my masseuse. I had the Head Trip and Grounding Sole treatments that lasted an hour all together. It was amazing!! A feast for the senses - aromatherapy, beautiful music, and warm comfort being expressed through her hands. I was in heaven. I would highly recommend Michelle. She even sent me a thank you note the following week. :-) read more

I have been to Ocean Day Spa many times. I always received an amazing massage! Unfortunately, the owner Kerry is extremely rude! I was in absolute shock that someone would ever run a business like this. Both my husband and I own a business and would never speak or act the way Kerry acted to me. It's very unfortunate because I would have continued to go there at least two times a month like I had been going. However now I will never go back and I will tell everyone I know to never go there. There are hundreds of spa's out there and in these economic times she should learn how to treat her customers with respect. I feel bad for her employee's because they all seemed nice but I won't give my hard earned money to someone who speaks so poorly to their customers. i hope if you choose to go there you have a different experience with Kerry then I did. read more

I have been to this spa 4 times. The facials are AMAZING! My skin was breaking out and had problems but after my treatment from Virgina, I was glowing and all my annoying breakouts stopped. I've also been waxed here a few times, and they are so gentle and really take care of you. Also, they don't force you or make you feel like you HAVE to buy this or that when you are done with your treatment either which I have always hated about other spas. They suggest things that will work for you and that's it. I gave this place a 3 because the pedicures are not fab and way over priced for what you get (or what you don't get...). Everything else about this place is wonderful though. From the second you walk in the door it's ZEN! So comfortable and gorgeous. It's very close to businesses and the hussle and bussle of the work zone, but the second you walk in you are immediately relaxed and all of that noise and stress outside is gone! I would go back to this place for sure, but stay away from the pedi's. Not worth it! read more

I'm a Day Spa Manager at the largest Day Spa in New England and I am rarely impressed with visiting other day spas while on vacation. Needless to say I will be making some changes at our facility due to the exceptional quality of service and comfort experienced at Ocean Day Spa. Their skin care products are high quality and results oriented, the atomosphere is relaxing, the bathroom is clean, the decor is interesting and calming, the staff is as friendly as can be and highly skilled, their menu of services is vast and suitable for anyone, their hours are accomodating, the tea selection is immense, the prices are very affordable and I just can't say enough about them. I visited today with 3 other women and no one had any complaints. We all had massages with different add-ons and could barely carry on a conversation when finished due to such relaxation. If I lived locally I would only visit Ocean Day Spa. I wouldn't even want to explore other options. To give credit to the massage therapists: Gina, Lori, and Kerry. Thanks for making our day!! read more
