    SCAM. UNSANITARY. OVERCROWDED. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED…read more This is NOT a luxury spa experience. There is 1 hot pool, 1 tiny cold plunge, 1 tiny steam room, 1 dry sauna. They allow way too many people in the thermal journey which ruins the spa experience. They do not provide spa slippers and allow customers to bring their own slippers, which could be dirty to walk around the inside of the spa. They charge you $40/slippers which is robbery. We got the duo massage which, for $500+ you'd expect a premium massage, but they hire inexperienced people who do not know how to do deep tissue massages. They increased the prices for special dates but also allow more people in, which defeats the purpose of increasing the price. MONEY HUNGRY scam artists. The bathrooms are consistently dirty, locker rooms crowded and only 3 showers and 3 toilets. This place is a JOKE. To top it off, I asked for some sort of compensation for the experience and the manager said they couldn't do anything about it. SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN.

    I recently went back to visit Spa Scandinave and it was another relaxing visit. Everything was…read moregreat as usual but my check in experience was awesome. It changed a bit. There's a tablet that you fill out with your info and the lovely Omega helped through tge process which was helpful since I was doing it for the first time. I've always been treated well by the staff and Omega was no different. Thanks for another relaxing afternoon

    I've never actually been to a real spa before (I've had facials and massages but never a full…read morelike... spa experience) and so I figured while on my very snowy December trip to Montreal now was the time. The fact that this spa is on a boat and half of it was outdoors was the appeal! So we booked just the water circuit (no extras, just saunas, steam rooms and hot tubs) to see if this was even something we'd like. Turns out the December visit was the way to go! It wasn't packed at all, and turns out that sitting in a hot tub while the snow falls on your face is actually a top ten life experience. It was cold as heck out, mind you, but somehow you never feel chilly when you're going in and out of saunas and hot tubs. I did wish some of the relaxation rooms were a bit warmer, or there was an ability to swap out a soaking towel at some point, but I was never uncomfortable. Everything was clean and people around us were respectful. I loved the no phone policy and definitely chilled out to staring into this strangely brutalist bay. David Lynch relaxation vibes. The best was the floor where you could sit in a porthole window -- only wish we had discovered it earlier! I would totally come back here and check out some of their other offerings. Dunno, might even aim for a winter trip again because it was just that nice!

    Listen...I can admit it...I fell for their amazing online marketing. Once I booked my trip to…read moreMontreal, I would get ads, reels and TikToks on this place ALL the time. Finally I gave in and booked a day there for 3 of us on a Saturday afternoon. A spa experience on a boat on the water -- sounds amazing! I should have noticed on their website that they offer all sorts of discounts, etc to NOT go on the weekends. Why? Because it gets PACKED. Seriously packed. You feel more like cattle than a person enjoying rest and relaxation. Plus, I remember seeing they had a quiet section, but when I booked through the phone, their associate told me not to worry there is only a small portion that is a quiet section and then they have an outdoor section where guests can talk freely. Terrific because I knew we gals wanted to chat throughout the day. Well, we checked in and headed down to their locker room, which felt like a combo of a high school locker room in a basement, and we had to duck around the other guests and try to quickly change and head back up. We decided to go to the jacuzzi outside and even though it was raining, a jacuzzi looked like it would be heavenly. We got in and even though it was full in there, we started commenting on how nice it is. Some of the women already in there started fidgeting and then the next thing we knew the staff was coming over to us and reprimanding us for talking. We had no idea we had somehow wandered into the quiet zone but we quickly left and headed to the talking permitted section. That area felt like a Las Vegas day pool area -- lots of people everywhere. Every chair, lounge area, etc taken. We didn't stay too long there either. Then it was time for the massage. I had a therapeutic massage with tiger balm and it was probably one of the best massages I've ever had. That is truly the only redeeming part of the experience. On the one hand, I'm glad we went so we could have our own firsthand experience there, but also on the other, we still wound up getting massages in our own hotel two days later because we really wanted to have a relaxing experience while on vacation. Lesson learned!
