This is a local day spa I frequently turn to when I need a truly therapeutic massage. I often wait until my back and neck are crying for attention and every therapist I have had work on me at Ocean Day Spa has been amazing. I have had wonderful experiences at resorts and day spas nationwide, but this spa is one that I always know will provide me exactly with the TLC I need! I highly recommend adding cupping to any massage service. It works wonders on problem areas.

I am updating my experience entitled " Great with the exception to Payment". I received a call today from the owner of the spa after she heard of my bad experience. She was very apologetic of what happened. I appreciate that she took the time to reach out to me and remedy the situation - that meant alot to me and shows to me she is interested in making her customer's happy. I feel this experience started badly but it ended on a positive note.

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!

Although in a business park area, the inside is tastefully decorated with a calming decor. I had a great pedicure with a wonderful gentle touch and my massage by Wendy found all my sore spots!! Everyone was very friendly and I left feeling pampered and relaxed!

I came upon this spa because spa finder was having a $50 spa treatment deal days and the website looked nice. I went in expecting an ok massage because I was only paying $50 and boy was I wrong. The therapist was really good and made me feel like I was paying extra with all the attention she gave me. I have been back many times since then because they always have fantastic specials every month. I think I have had a treatment with everyone in there by now and I have never been disapponted. The spa itself is very clean and has an earthy vibe. I can't say enough good things about this place. I did see the reveiw that the owner was rude and I find that hard to believe, she is always so nice and happy. I highly recommend this spa!

I have gone to many spas over the years including luxury spas at resorts. This, by far, exceeds my expectations. Not only do I go for relaxation but it is a total healing experience. The owner Kerry is amazing at what she does. She heals body, mind and soul. I think everyone should have this experience and I have sent many friends and family and even strangers that I meet with any physical problems to her. I had years of physical therapy and nothing helped until I found this spa. What turned out to be a "nice to have massage" appointment changed my life. I have had other treatments as well, facials, wraps, etc. and all of the staff is gifted with such talent. I even celebrate birthdays there! Thank you Kerry and everyone at Ocean Day Spa for the gift of healing Body, Mind and Soul!

Rude Owner!
By ChrisT | November 9, 2010

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.

Reply from: Ocean Day Spa

This review breaks my heart! I pour so much love into this Spa and would never be rude to anyone here. I am shocked to see this. If this is a true review and not just a competing Spa please contact me and let me know what I could have possibly said or done to you. I work so hard to make sure everyone is treated with love and respect. If I ever came across as rude I am more than sorry. That is not who I am at all.

One of the Best!

I happened upon Ocean Day Spa when Stroller Strides held a "Mom's Night Out". My expectations were not set too high since the spa's right down the way from my dentist and I hate going to the dentist! But I was blown away!! What a treat to have this so close to home. They have tons of quick 30-minutes treatments which means I can scoot out of work a bit early and pamper myself before heading home to take care of the family. And the best part is that the treatments are reasonably priced - a tough thing to come by for a spa in Carlsbad. The lobby and waiting area is a bit small but I still plan on going back very soon!

I have been going to Ocean Day Spa in Carlsbad since it opened 5 years ago. The ladies of Ocean Day Spa are always smiling and you feel welcome immediatly upon entering. The quality of services and product are exceptional and the cost totally reasonable. These factors in combination with the incredibly tranquil environment make me an Ocean Day Spa Junkie!

I love this cozy little place in Carlsbad. I usually frequent different spas in the area depending on the specials they have going on. I found this quiet spot and now I go here no matter what! Kerry gave me the best massage I have ever had - Period! I tried a facial last week (which I usually don't get because I break out every time), Virginia was excellent, very gentle extractions, wonderful touch, and she know everything about skin types and skin creams etc... I had no breakout so I will definitely be back again soon!!!!

I've had many massages over the years and this was probably the best that I've had. I'm usually there critiquing everything that could be better, but this time I nodded off a few times. She really tailored the massage to my needs and I feel so much better! I will definitely return.
