"We were celebrating my Mom's birthday with a day at the spa. We booked the Ocean Mist facials. All three of us walked out of our treatments feeling like we spent an hour in heaven. We then went to the hot pools to relax further and admire the panoramic view. The staff were nothing short of incredible and the experience was what dreams are made of. Awesome spa and incredible team."
"Boathouse Spa is by far my favourite spa on Vancouver Island! It’s located right on the ocean in the BEST hotel ever, the Oak Bay Beach Hotel. Boathouse offers exclusive evening Pool Passes for guests between 5:00-10:00 pm every so often. They go quick so follow on Facebook/Instagram for the best availability. The staff make you feel so special right from the moment you walk through the door. You’re greeted with a friendly, warm smile and graciously shown the locker room where they’ll supply luxurious robes, sandals and fluffy towels. They have a licensed bar on site and offer takeaway food from the “Snug Pub” (hotel restaurant). There are 2 hot tubs, 1 extra large (warm) pool, lots of nice loungers, fire pits, sun umbrellas and an indoor sauna. It really is a paradise! You just kind of melt away listening to the ocean waves crash and the birds chirping. They also have a full spa menu - book in early to reserve a good spot. Free hotel underground parking too! Do yourself a favour and check this place out! It’s worth it every penny!"
"My daughter recently booked us an overnight stay, massage, facials, and a lovely birthday dinner for me at the Oak Bay Beach Hotel. From the moment we arrived the service was fantastic. In particular, our spa treatments were a real treat. Carmen gave a wonderful full body massage followed by a rejuvenating facial. I had recently had wrist surgery and she carefully accommodated the tricky positioning of elevating my arm, so I could relax and enjoy the treatment. We will certainly return to this beautiful hotel."
"On a very blustery day my friends and I had a wonderful spa day! The winds were high and the ocean waves were crashing along the shoreline. It made our time in the mineral pools exciting! The staff were hustling about and checked in to ensure we were happy. After that we treated ourselves to massages. Wonderful! Relaxing! We felt the positive effects for days afterwards. We will return!"
"I was taking videos of myself at the pool then some Karens told the staff they don’t want to be in my pictures. The staff nicely took me to the seaside to take picture of me so no one else was in the picture. I appreciate that the staff try to make both sides happy. However, it’s a crowded spa and it’s not against policy that I was taking pics of the pool. Next time, people should have the basic freedom to take pictures of themselves. If bitter Karens afraid they appear in others photos, it’s their problem. It does not feel good as a single colored woman being targeted by a group of white women. Overall it was a great experience. Beautiful seaside, met a newly engaged couple, and the massage was professional. Love it!"
"We loved our time at the spa and pool. The massages were divine!!"
"I so enjoyed my quicky little getaway so close to home!. As i arrived at the hotel I was greeted by such a happy and courteous valet which got my day off to a lovely start. As i made my way to the spa, i thought to my-self, that’s going to be my next job ;) The reception at the spa was so warm and professional and welcoming made me think surely, it’s a lifestyle for them … Sheila gave me an amazing massage and hot oil hair treatment and the mineral pool time and hot tub was absolutely divine. The spa lounge provides healthy refreshments and snacks mint and cozy chairs to sit and relax as you lookout onto the pool area. I’m living the dream here in my new “Home Sweet Home”"
"I had an amazing experience at the Oak Bay Boathouse spa! I've been there several times now, and each visit has been fantastic. The staff is incredibly kind and friendly, and I want to give a special shoutout to Carlos for his fun-loving sense of humor. The front desk staff were also very welcoming and made me feel right at home. The massages I received were absolutely wonderful. The therapists were skilled and attentive, providing a truly relaxing experience. As for the pool, it was kept in great shape. The water was lovely, and the overall ambiance was very peaceful. I will be back for future treatments and pool time and highly recommend trying it out if you haven’t yet!"
"There are a few positive points about this health centre. It was fast to book for an appointment on the same day. The interior looks nicer (decorative items) The rooms & chairs are old. But that was fine because the therapist has mad skill. She worked so hard on my body, maybe a little too hard, but I like it rough ???? I booked a longer massage session and therapist was honest in showing me time start go finish. She was very nice as well, despite the language barrier. The front desk person, I had mixed emotions. She was dismissive in the end, I paid for tips (20$) and she didn’t even say thanks or look up!!! But I think it’s common nowadays. People say front desk are always rude everywhere, every kind of business. Maybe it’s just the trend. The massage is killin’ though. You should try. It looks modest outside and inside on some part of this health centre, but the most important part is the masseuse’s art."
"I had an incredible experience at Go Massage Health Centre! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and relaxed. The staff were friendly, and professional.

"I just got my permanent brows and lashes done, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Jot was incredibly polite and professional throughout the entire process. She made me feel so comfortable by explaining every step, detailing what she was about to do and why it was necessary. I truly appreciated how she constantly checked in to make sure I was okay. Her attention to detail and warm demeanor made the entire experience enjoyable, and the results are absolutely amazing. She came highly recommended by my sisters, and now I can confidently recommend her to anyone looking for flawless brows and lashes. If I ever need her services again, I’ll definitely be returning. She does an exceptional job!"
"I had my arms, legs, and bikini waxing done by Jot, and it was a great experience! She was very efficient, professional, and made the whole process almost painless. I really appreciated how comfortable she made me feel throughout. Highly recommend her services!"
"A family friend recommended Jot and I've been her client since. The one thing I really appreciate about her is that she gives you time and makes sure everything is done properly, be it hair threading, waxing or facial services. I recently had facial done from her and it was an amazing experience !!! She took time to do the extractions and used excellent products. Overall, it was a very relaxing experience with an upper body massage. You don't see this much effort being put into services these days and despite that her prices are budget friendly. What else would one need!! She's super friendly and accommodating, I'd highly recommend her services!! ????"
"Jot is amazing at what she does! She’s professional, friendly, and always makes me feel comfortable. Her attention to detail, especially with shaping my eyebrows, is unmatched. The results are always flawless, and her waxing technique is quick and as painless as possible. I trust her completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch service! I have also got facial and Zena algae peel done with her and she always makes me feel as comfortable as possible and the process least painful. she is also very flexible with her ability and tries to accommodate within my schedule. Love her work! please don’t think twice before going to her as you will be always be in trusted hands."
"Absolutely amazing service! Jot was incredibly professional, kind, and made me feel completely at ease throughout my waxing and facial session. The attention to detail was outstanding, and the results were flawless – my skin feels so smooth and refreshed! Jot’s expertise and care truly made the experience relaxing and enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing service. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again. Thank you, Jot."
"Jot is amazing!! I’m super picky about my eyebrows but she understood what would be best for me and did my eyebrows and threading the way she’d do her own. She puts so much love and care into her time with her client that you automatically feel safe with what she does. You’re amazing!! Thank you for everything!"
"Jot is always so friendly and nice and super professional. I have been going to her for almost a year now and she has serviced my eyebrows, eyelash and face. I trust her work and have not had any reactions. I hope to try some of the newer services soon. Good job Prabhjot, you and your services are always 5* for me!"
"Jot is great at what she does. Not just fast but also does everything with great precision. I have been to her few times for eyebrows and waxing and every time I have left satisfied. I don’t feel the need to go anywhere else and this is definitely my go to for all salon needs."
