Well- there's a new owner in town and the spa facial experience has done a huge nose dive. We spend good money for the service and they don't incorporate any steam, light therapy or decent products. It's disappointing and a shame because it used to be my go-to spot and now I won't choose this place for my services. read more

On time; careful manicure by Ashley who worked w me select color and shape. Excellent clean and relaxing.

I received a $350 Oceanova Spa gift card in April 2025. I scheduled services twice, and both times the spa cancelled on short notice. The first cancellation happened the morning of my appointment, when I was told the massage therapist would not be in. Only the facial portion of my scheduled services was provided, which I paid for with part of the gift card. I disclosed to the aesthetician that I have rosacea, which had been dormant for a year, but the facial unfortunately triggered a flare up. The only compensation offered for losing the massage, worth hundreds of dollars, was a complimentary add on. The receptionist did not apologize or make any effort to recover the service, showing no empathy. I rescheduled to use the remaining balance, but five days before that appointment the spa cancelled again because the therapist was unavailable. On both occasions they offered to reschedule during the week, but as I work full time, weekends are the only option I have. This meant I was unable to use the remaining gift card balance. Since then, I have called, left voicemails, sent texts, WhatsApp messages, a Facebook message, and an email with no response. When I was initially in touch with an employee named Carolynn, she was empathetic and offered to help resolve the issue, but after she left the company no one else has made any effort. The lack of customer service and empathy has been very disappointing, especially given the amount of money prepaid. At this point, I am left with a significant gift card balance that I cannot use. I have requested a refund directly from the spa read more

Andrea does an incredible and amazing massage and hot stone therapy. She is gentle yet firm. She really worked the knots out of my neck! Paula gives an excellent full facial. I feel 10 years younger! read more

The people who work here are so wonderful. It is not a hugely commercial spa with the in and out feel. Practitioners make you feel like the most important client of the day. Peaceful, calming, and indulgent service. read more

First time here visiting. Paula is the best with skin care and the added lymphatic drainage with my problem area. Feel great

Amanda gave me the nicest and most relaxing facial ever. Highly recommend spa destination.

I love this salon! The front staff is attentive and helpful with booking and checking in/ out. I find the office to be very clean and cheerful with plenty of product to pick from. After treatments with Carolyn my skin has NEVER looked this good and I have confidence to go makeup free and feel great in my natural skin. I can not recommend Oceanova enough read more

Great massage and lovely staff! Highly recommend this spa and plan on going back again! read more

Wonderful relaxing facial/ message.. Amanda was excellent!! Looking forward to my next facial with Amanda!!

My husband and I both had a first time massage there a few weeks ago. The service was absolutely exceptional and Massage was one of the best we've had. They were on time and would recommend them very much. read more

New to town and booked a much needed mani/pedi with Yvonne. She did a great job! I will be back.

After waiting for an appointment setup through the internet and phone calls. Got an appointment scheduled 3 weeks out, I tell them I'm 69 year old male. Filled out necessary paperwork and was called back by therapist and am told they will not give me a massage. 30 years on blood thinners over 100 massages never questioned once. This business should better serve the customer base by informing of your policy upfront so as you don't waste time for me or your therapist. Disappointed, and recommendations will not be made. Roseann fix it. read more

I had a great facial. It was very relaxing. I would recommend Oceanova to anyone looking for a convenient place to go in Bethany.

excellent service and friendly staff! my toes were still looking great two months later

Excellent pedicure, on time, friendly service and comfortable accommodations. Already booked our next appointment!

massage was great. however, I had a gift certificate that expired on 3-18. I called to schedule an appointment, first opening was 3-19. she said they would honor it. when I checked out, they said I could not use it, it was a third party certificate. (spa week) their girl never asked where the certificate was from when I booked. So I am out $110. I have been to this spa 3 Times but will not b returning. Very, very poor customer service and appreciation. read more

Denise gives the best massage ever and has for many years!

Wendy was absolutely amazing. Ive never had a massage before, and it was easily the best hour of my life. The ladies at the front desk provided excellent service too. I will definitely be back again! read more

The massage I received was average at best. My therapist repeatedly massaged over spinal bones and they now feel bruised. I have experienced hundreds of massages and this was totally sub par. read more

I've been going to Denise for several years and she strikes the perfect balance for me between therapeutic and relaxation. I highly recommend. Oceanova has done a great job making me comfortable to continue facials and massage through the pandemic. read more

I bought a combo facial/massage and it was great! Clean and relaxing environment, with great products! Will be back when I visit the beach :) read more

I had an absolutely ethereal facial with Jess at Oceanova. I nearly floated out of there. She was outstanding and made sure that everything was perfect. I have had many facials over many years and hers, by far, had me feeling like my skin was impeccable and my relaxation level was A+. read more

This is a nice place for a 1 hour vacation anytime of year! The staff are friendly and talented. The environment is very serene, professional and the prices are ok. My wife and I try to get here once a quarter. Additionally, they do gift certificates right from their website, so I generally include one in the wife's birthday, Valentine's and Christmas cards. Naturally you have your choice of the many types of treatment from which to select.. -Enjoy read more

I was pleased when I was scheduled so quickly and within the time of my stay in Ocean View. Jess gave me an excellent facial that has left my skin baby soft since my facial 3 days ago. Jess has hands that are gentle and soothing allowing me to fully relax. The ambience of her room was relaxing with soft light, soft music, and heated table and blanket. I will be back to see Jess the next time I visit Bethany Beach. read more

very nice greeting was nice and clean I had Denise give me my massage she was great I plan on doing this every month 5 stars for this place and massage read more

Great experience at Oceanova Spa. The receptionist was very friendly and she was able to book appointments for my daughter and I at the same time with very short notice. My facial with Amanda was so refreshing and my face felt great. My daughter had a massage and also had a great experience. I will definitely be back. read more

I just had what I would classify as one of my best massages today. Denise was fabulous! I almost fell asleep on the table. I carry my stress and tension in my shoulders, by the time Denise was finished, I felt like the weight of the world had been lifted off my shoulders. I will be making a return visit! Thank you. read more

I came to Bethany Beach for a weekend getaway to de-stress. When I came across Oceanova's de-stress massage, I had to give it a try. Stacie did not disappoint. I left completely satisfied with the service she provided and will definitely be returning in the near future. The aromatherapy smell throughout the spa is pleasing and tranquil. This place is pure serenity! read more

While down in Delaware for the holidays, I really wanted to do something relaxing. I figured a massage couldn't hurt and called around to five different places trying to get an appointment that day. Not only did Oceanova accommodate me, but they called in a masseuse to come in just so that they wouldn't lose my business. That was certainly a great start. When I arrived, the waiting area was very comfortable, well-decorated (comfy but not too new-agey) and had peaceful music playing in the background. The receptionist was very friendly, had me fill out a form, and told me the massage therapist would be right with me. Carol, my LMT, was incredible. She was friendly from the get-go, and we had a nice chat on the way down the hall. She took me to the private room and started by asking me what my goals were for the sessions, if I had any areas of focus, etc. It seems so obvious, but in the 50+ massages I've gotten, that conversation has happened just a handful of times. The room was perfect. The music was relaxing, the bed was soft and warm, the head support was extremely comfortable (always a crap shoot), and I began to feel at ease immediately. As for the massage itself, it was the ideal balance of pressure and relaxation. I actually fell asleep for a few minutes, something I have never done before. Carol was highly skilled and I felt so great when I left. I would highly recommend Oceanova to anyone in the area! read more

Let me start off by saying that staff here is very friendly, kind and accommodating. They were very good at getting us in on short notice at the same time for multiple people and multiple services, so kudos! That's pretty much the only plus to this place. I went for the sugar scrub and a mani/pedi. Like I said, my service professionals were very nice, but my scrubber told me this was the first scrub she'd done at this place and that there was no methodology, and also there was no facility to rinse yourself off after. I'm of the thinking that if you don't have a shower, don't offer scrubs. My nail tech was again, very sweet and professional, but my mani and pedi were both pretty weak. I still had rough cuticles when I left, my feet were barely exfoliated and there was polish all over the place. For the prices ($95 for the scrub and $60ish for the mani/pedi), I expect better. Period. I'm hesitant to diss a locally owned business, but having to repeatedly face the dilemma of "is this place any good?" while on vacation leads me to want to advise other future beach-goers to skip this spa. Spend your $150 getting hammered at Seacrets. read more

This was my very first customized massage. It was a very good first experience with Denise. We talked before she began. She listened to my concerns and I felt very much at ease during my massage. Everything felt so relaxing from the soft lights, to the meditation CD and the warm coverings. It was an hour of pampering that is already calling me to visit there again. I met Rose Ann, the owner before leav ing. We chatted and she told me about a special spa evening benefit for Justin's Place. It takes place at the Marriott on Bethany Beach boardwalk. For more information call Oceanova. Ticket are $45 . I want to thank my wonderful son and his fiance for the gift certificate that brought me to Oceanova Spa. I rec ommend giving gifts like this that make people happy and also promotes wellness. read more

I have been with Brian for about 6 months now. He always had a smile for me and gives off a very calm vibe. When I schedule my massages I know I will walk out feeling much better after he works on me. And actually the entire staff at Oceanova is terrific in my opinion read more

I have been seeing Denise for massages for several years and can't recommend her more highly. Her knowledge of the body, muscles, nerves, fascia and all the other complex stuff in there is amazing. And she teaches me how things work and why stuff hurts while she's making it better. She's also just a phenomenal human with a beautiful heart. I genuinely enjoy our chats almost as much as how my body feels when I leave the table. She brings a great balance to the massage and even though she is doing deep tissue and trigger work, I have never once left feeling that "I've been bruised" feeling you get most places. The staff at Oceanova is lovely, too. Always pleasant, organized and friendly. I highly recommend. read more

This was a first trip to Oceanova. I don't get massages very often, but must say that Stacie was really great. I have a chronic stiff and painful neck and she was able to focus and help me with it! She asked about areas that were troublesome and knew exactly how to handle them. I would recommend her and Oceanova to anyone seeking massages. Thanks. read more

Worst manicure I've ever had. It was a gel manicure & the technician painted over my cuticles. It looks like a 4-year old did this. She did say she does not like gel nails. Not sure why. The room was very dimly lit. Maybe she couldn't see well. Then we had to wait....because there was ONLY ONE gel drying machine & it was in use. Really? I almost feel bad writing this because the technician was very nice. But I will not return. So disappointed. Lovely place & it smells delicious when you walk in. Maybe we will try the massages... read more

Came with a group of friends. Staff wonderful and very helpful in scheduling all 7 of us. I had a mani pedi that was delightful. Technician professional and pleasant to be with. Waiting area relaxing with generous offering of healthy refreshments. Clean and comfortable. Will update review once I hear how the other services went. Here is update: my friends all had massages and facials. Everyone LOVED them. One friend who needs extreme deep tissue work reported it was the best massage she has ever had. Therapist customized and perfected the deep tissue work to meet her needs. Other friends came out of room smiling and saying they wanted to come back tomorrow. read more

Very disappointing. Despite numerous requests to give firmer pressure, the therapist never gave that service. She made an unfounded medical determination about me that she stated limited her ability to provide firm pressure. read more

My boyfriend was able to call from California to book a surprise mani/pedi for my girlfriend and I vacationing here. The staff were lovely, we were able to bring our own wine, and it was just wonderful. Beautiful ambiance and relaxing all around. read more

I came here today for a manicure and eyebrow waxing and brought my 7-year old daughter for a manicure as well. We were really pleased! Lovely ambiance and decor inside and Kimberly and Ashley were so attentive! You could tell they really cared about our experience. I'll definitely be back! read more
