I booked my appointment online using the scheduling link shared within the gift card. I added on an additional service so I anticipated that there would be a remaining balance to pay. Once my service was finished, I was brought up to the front desk and asked to pay for the full amount of my service plus the additional service that I added. I explained that I had booked using a gift card and I understood I would need to pay for the additional service that I requested. They insisted that my gift card was expired and that I wasn't able to use it. This is INSANE as I just received the gift card a few months ago. After arguing with me for about 10 minutes, they insisted I pay via Venmo and did not allow me to use my credit card. They then stopped me and insisted that I send an additional tip. I will never be returning to Ocean Spa.

Trust me, I wanted to love this place so bad!!! I was so excited and came in with a positive attitude. The massage itself is not typical. You stay clothed and there are no rooms, just curtain dividers which kind of threw me off but whatever, I was still feeling hopeful. My first red flag was the fact that they did not ask my preference regarding the gender of the masseuse. They gave me a man which I don't typically allow but it was fine because I was clothed. Anyways, the part of the massage, the head and neck was nice. The feet portion was absolutely horrendous. My standards are not high but this straight up did not feel good at all. He had two long nails that were DIGGING into my skin when he was "massaging". Genuinely every moment I was wishing for it to be over. Even without the nails, it would still have been uncomfortable because the pressure points and areas where he was massaging were not right. I actually left feeling worse. I understand that I could have gotten up and left but I wanted to see if it would eventually improve? When I was paying, the woman arrogantly asked "how will you be paying for the tip?". I told her I would not be tipping because I didn't enjoy the service and she demanded reasoning... what is up with these people? I feel so annoyed that I wasted my money on this!! I take responsibility for not standing up for myself but I'm still pissed! My feet hurt even now while writing this. I'm sure the quality of service differs between employees but I wouldn't take my chances.

I've been here twice and gotten 2 different services, the 60 mins Asian Body Works (Tuina) with Hot…read moreStones and the 60 mins Foot Reflexology with Asian Body Works. The massage has always been very good and reception is very nice. Both times I have used a Groupon and booked an appointment for the same or next day (once I called because I was close by and they got me in for an appointment 10 mins later). Maybe it's because I go on weekdays, but they seem to have lots of availability. The massage is always very thorough and my body feels excellent after. They tend to use firm pressure -- I don't mind some pain during my massage but you can ask them to be lighter. Language barrier can be an issue so you may want to let reception know before you go in for the massage. The 60 mins Asian Body Works (Tuina) with Hot Stones was full body including scalp and face but not feet and you removed your clothes. The 60 mins Foot Reflexology with Asian Body Works included a foot soak, focused on feet and legs, and you kept your clothes on for the body works massage. I preferred the body works with hot stones from masseuse David, who asked multiple time if the pressure was good and it really felt amazing! If you care more about the foot massage and less about the body, then I would opt for the foot reflexology (the massage I had was fantastic as well). The space is clean, beds are very comfortable, and ambiance is nice. The different massage areas are divided by screens rather individual rooms separated by walls. I don't mind this, but I can see how some would not prefer it. When I went for the foot reflexology, I was in a shared room with a stranger -- this was fine for me because you do not remove your clothes for this service. I found it a little weird initially but did not care during the actual massage; again, I can see how some people may not enjoy this setup. Overall, Nomad offers very high quality massage at a reasonable price point, not overly extravagant. I will definitely go back regularly!

The spa doesn't have separate rooms, rather it's one massive hall, separated by cloth curtains. Which means you can hear EVERYTHING!! You hear the opening of packages, the bathroom, the customer next to you saying "oh my god yea", the staff walking back n forth, the tap running in their kitchen... everything!!! To make this worse, the massage itself was terrible. They placed a towel on my back and massaged me over the towel in an elbow 'poking' manner rather than a normal kneading style. I left the spa feeling rather bruised than relaxed. This was the second time I've had a terrible experience at Nomad - will definitely not be returning.

My sister and I came for a massage before heading to a festival last weekend. This was our first…read moretime at this location. Upon entering, the nice lady at the front desk told us that one of us could go in if the other one wouldn't mind waiting. We said that was fine and so she went over our "sign in procedure" (reviewing body parts that we wanted more focus on or parts we wanted to avoid). Then my sister went in first and I waited in the waiting area. I was offered a whole cold bottle of water, which for some of you might feel like a standard, but I thought it was a wonderful add! The massage was great. The masseuse was polite and paused frequently to ask if I was doing okay (if I needed more or less pressure, feeling ok, etc.) She was able to get the knots I really needed to get rid of. The hot stone was presented and I said sure why not...but it didn't really do much for me. It wasn't warm enough. Though the service was good, the ending was not very consistent to the whole experience. We came in with the understanding that the price was $39.99 and with tip would be $48 each. We only brought cash with us and paid together. We handed her a $100 bill thinking we'd get back $6 after tip. I think she got confused as to why we wanted to change back. After much back and forth, we realized that the services weren't listed with updated prices. The service was $49 instead of $39. (which means if we calculated with tip, we underpaid her by $20.) We felt bad walking out because we thought we brought a 20% tip with us but we ended up only giving them $2. Just beware if you go, it's still pretty decently priced but bring extra cash or a card in case it happens to you. 1 star knock off purely for the fact that the advertised price was not the true price.
