Tidepools Spa & Wellness - Pacific City, Oregon

The experience at tidepools was a mixed bag. The price does not equate to the experience. In all transparency I had a gift card so that is how I found it. My friend and I had very different experiences. Oliver gave my friend her massage and she rated him a 6 out of 10. He rushed and she was done and out of the room in 75 minutes for a 90 minute massage. My person who I can’t remember her name did an a great job. She was an 8/9 out of 10. I enjoyed mine and felt very relaxed. We mention this to the receptionist as we were settling up. She spoke with the manager that was very nice and responsive to us. We were told that the 90 minute massage was really an 75 to 80 minute massage because they put the turn around time onto the customer. My friend who gets way more massage says that she has never heard of the room turn around time being placed in the customer. Regardless no communication happen when I booked via the phone. We did get a 5% discount ($11). Another thing that was told to me during the reservation is that take on 22% service fee ($50) which was 18% gratitude for the massage and 4% to ? I was more than happy to give that amount of a tip but my friend not so much!

Long post but a 90 minute massage in Portland is 150 to 180. $230 is over priced and if you count the mandatory service fee it was $289 and change it is overpriced and under performed. Thank God for a gift card !

Save your money or find a different spot on the beach to go.

I went to Tidepools yesterday for a costal awakening massage. Jessica was my massage therapist and did a wonderful job! I've had many massages, and can say this was one of the best I've ever had. She did a fabulous job and I can't wait to return. The hot tub has an epic view, be sure to bring your swimsuit.

The locker rooms did not have many amenities. Just a steam room and shower. A few more products in the lockers would have been great.

We had a very relaxing Spa day at Tidepools. Oliver the massage therapist was amazing. I would recommend this spa to anyone who is visiting or lives near Pacific City.

An outstanding experience. We loved our massages and spent a couple hours enjoying the hot tub, steam room and even got food delivered from upstairs. Desk staff at the spa were 5 star with service! Only weird thing was that someone brought their children to the spa which totally killed the relaxing atmosphere, and they let one of their kids go in the hot tub wearing a diaper. I definitely think this experience would be better as adults only.

It’s been some time since we received our massages at this place, but I still can’t get the experience off my mind. First of all, the massage therapist, Oliver, was sick. He was not a little sick, but very sick. For the entire 90 minutes, we had to listen to him wheeze, snort, sniff, and rasp. Every breath he made was a reminder we had a sick person hanging over our body in a tiny room. He was forced to excuse himself from the room to cough, making the experience shorter than it should have been and additionally awkward.

What’s more, the man’s fingernails were too long and my husband and I were left with marks. I could not wear the dress I bought especially for our anniversary dinner at Meridian because it showed the fresh, bloody scratches down my back.

I can’t speak for my husband on this account, but when I checked out at the register, I was made to wait for quite some time because the individual was busy. That’s fine and I understood the rush, but when it came time for me to pay, the receptionist was still helping other people, so I had the receipt shoved in front of me and I was told I had to pay the required tip, but I was never asked how my experience actually was.

When we checked out of the hotel, we told the receptionist, who did nothing. Then, when the online review was sent, we noted our concerns there, too, and never heard from anyone.

I go out of my way to actively recommend people stay away from this spa now, and hope you do, as well.

5 stars isn’t enough! The staff here are friendly and helpful, my massage by Oliver was first class. Relaxing time by the outdoor saltwater hot tub while watching the surfers and beach activity. Can’t wait to return!

This Spa was absolutely amazing! I had a total of 4 treatments and all were superb. Every staff member I came across was wonderful. I got a 90 min massage, dry brush, facial and scalp treatment. I can not wait to go back. Molly ( massage and dry brush ) and Shelly ( facial and scalp ) book an appointment, you won't be mad.

Oliver and the Ginger Stone Renewal were outstanding! Only problem was it wasn’t long enough. Kudos to the staff and Oliver in particular! I’ll have to come back to try all the services.
