The Royal Marine Hotel, where Sansana is located, is a beautiful hotel that looks like it's straight out of the Wes Anderson movies! Amazing! Once I got to the hotel(where I was not staying by the way) I had to find my way to the spa. I wish it would have been more clearly marked, but ah well. I went through at least 5 sets of double doors to actually get to the spa, where you get buzzed in! Once I was in the spa, I was promptly taken to the locker room where Sylvie(masseuse extraordinaire) had set up my locker with robe/towels/slippers. I got changed and she escorted me to the treatment room! It was so tranquil and the temperature was comfy cozy! We chatted for a moment about the normal stuff - injuries, stress points, current pain, etc- then she got to work! It. Was. Amazing. When I go back, I'm requesting Sylvie specifically! After the massage, I got a facial. There were many different stages and each one was a surprise- especially the scalp massage at the end! The products used were gentle and smelled great! After the facial, I had the dry flotation treatment. Wtheck is that, right? It was basically like being in a water bed, without the water, and being really warm. I was way relaxed during this and even dozed off for a few minutes! All in all, I had a really great experience. The staff were helpful and calming, the facilities were hyper clean and well decorated. When I wasn't in the spa, I had access to the hotel pool, the relaxation rooms that had massage beds and reading nooks, and helping myself to the lemon water and their magazines. Did I mention the sauna and steam rooms? The not so great thing was the robes! They were stiff and small. For a nice spa, I expected a big fluffy robe that you could lounge in. 4 stars!

I didn't like that the pool is a open thing, not only for the hotel guests. There was kids having swimming classes and there was a small area were you could stay, very annoying.

I seemed to have been plagued by bold children and even bolder parents this weekend which has…read moredropped this review a star. The positives: Great carvery, pleasant staff, plenty of seating, great parking and TV's for you to watch sport etc. The negatives: Bold children. You may argue that is not the fault of management that it is instead the fault of the parents. I disagree. Having several children dart around high on coke screaming at the top of their lungs whilst people are trying to have a relaxing Sunday lunch is poor management. Of course the parents of the kids thought it was hilarious that they were running in between peoples tables oblivious to the dagger looks that everyone was throwing them. I wonder if their child whacked his head off the side of a table would they still be laughing. I wonder would they accept responsiblity - no chance. That's why you are supposed to have a management to protect the child if the parents won't... It is your property after all. Yet the staff just carried on, too scared no doubt to rock the boat with those selfish people yet forgetting that the majority of folk will now think twice about having their Sunday lunch there. Avoid like the bubonic plague Sunday's till after 6pm.

The place is so calm and soothing and everything is spacious and new and clean and lush and expensive feelings, even the changing rooms. I really cannot wait to go back here for a half day spa experience. However I did come here for a 90min facial called the VOYA Organic Environmental Defence Facial the usual price for this is € 115.00 but I had a special offer of 50% off, otherwise I would never have been able to afford it! The facial was lovely, lots of nice smelly creams, oils and lotions and potions when on my face and then some sea weed. I got a really quick dry body brush on my back and then a short mild massage and then it was over! I was a little disappointed! There was no steaming or extracting or anything special and it was only 60 min long! It was really nice and relaxing and all that but I was so happy I didn't spend the 115 euro!

If you're looking for five star luxury you might have to look a little further than the Seoid Spa…read more I brought my mam here recently for a pamper day and was left feeling a little 'meh' about the whole experience! On arrival we were led to the changing room to change into our robes before our treatments but when we walked in two men were working on a light in the corner of the room. The receptionist told us that they would only be a few minutes but the men showed no signs of finishing anytime soon. We waited for a few minutes to see if they would finish up but as we had to get back upstairs for our treatments we just had to get changed in the cubicles provided. In my opinion the men should have been asked to step outside while we were getting changed as not only would this have taken a few minutes but there was a lot of banging, not exactly what you expect when you go to a spa. Also, we were asked to share a locker when the receptionist realised that we were together. Initially we agreed but when we saw how small the lockers were we couldn't actually fit our stuff in so we had to take two. We did think it was an odd request though given the sheer volume of empty lockers available. The treatments we had were lovely. The therapists were really nice and had a little chat before starting the treatments to make sure we got what we wanted. The thermal suites were nice too, with an outdoor jacuzzi, indoor hydrotherapy pool, sauna and heated chairs along with a relaxation room to chill out in. The one thing that struck me about the place though was the amount of background noise...banging in the changing rooms, a lot of people walking around outside the relaxation room and people talking outside the treatment room. This, for me, was the deal-breaker! When I go to a spa I want quiet surroundings and a sense of calm. With these type of places I think it's all about the little extras and this place was definitely lacking those special touches. The place definitely showed signs of needing a little work done here and there too. With so many nice spas in close proximity to Dublin I would be more inclined to go somewhere else before returning here again. I gave it three stars because the treatment was lovely but I did contemplate giving it two because I didn't get that 'spa experience' I was hoping for. It wasn't a bad experience per se but it definitely wasn't good enough for me to return.

Such a lovely place! I had noticed some ads for Oasis around the Luas area and then came across a…read moreleaflet in the Lighthouse cinema. A nice relaxing pedicure sounded like just the ticket and being able to book online with zero hassle was an extra advantage. On arrival I was greeted with a lot of warmth and immediately asked if I wanted tea or water, shown to the changing room (after filling in the obligatory health check form) and even asked if I minded sharing the treatment room with someone getting a manicure at the same time. The place is fairly small but so spotlessly clean and well managed it does not matter at all - the staff being calm and friendly at all times making it really easy to relax. The treatment itself was probably one of the best pedicures I ever had, very thorough and with a paraffin wrap (I never had that before but the therapist guided me through the entire process including assuring me that even though it is hot it would not burn). Some of the polish on offer is Vinylux which I really appreciated as I always find that brand to last longer. Overall - can't wait to come back and try a facial next time, I really had the feeling of being in good hands!

I don't know how to put this is less funny words but I have not experienced the pain of wax burns…read moreuntil I used Oasis Beauty. This was a spa going very wrong day. I had a photoshoot and went there to get my eyebrows shaped. Firstly, I had to buy a mask that gave a big rash around my mouth, then I felt a lot of pain after the work underneath my eyebrows. I thought it was just because my skin was somehow more sensitive than normal but I found out the next day, I had a very bad burn under my eyebrows. I contacted them initially about the issue with the mask, just to alert them and help other customers and I got an email with a long explanation of how it was not caused by them and how other people were not affected. So I thought it was pointless to tell them about the severe burn I had. The pictures are attached. Today is day 5 and it still hurts quite a lot.

We were brought to the relaxation room. It's cosy with huge chairs and cushions. We were brought to our treatment room. I love the way we could get changed into dressing gown in the room. The room was very relaxing. I had the coconut foot soak, hot towel back compress, relaxing back, neck and shoulder massage, Dermalogica Facial and foot massage. From start to finish was so relaxing. Best massage ever. When I went back into the relaxation we had Presecco and chocolates ready for us. And my pet hate .... product pushing I didn't feel there was any pressure to buy any products like some Spas. This was our first visit. We will defo be back and we will probably be now making this a regular visit as we loved it.

I got the Relax & Renew spa package that was reduced from €119 to €69 in December, which included a coconut foot soak, Dermalogica facial, Indian head massage and a back, hand and foot massage. The offers change every month, but I know for January 2016, it €59 for the skin treatments like microdermabrasion and illuminating facials and 40% discount on massages. I've also had a deep tissue massage here which was pretty good but shorter than I expected (~40 mins). The girls here are really nice and friendly and they always do my Shellac perfectly (although they don't do complimentary removal even if you got it there, which costs an extra €5). The nail art is pretty limited in that they don't seem to do the really funky designs. You can get simple things like glitter, stars, hearts etc. though. They also seem to have some unique treatments that you don't come across everyday like ear candling, seaweed facials, body wraps and massage as well as special treatments like laser (non-contract), IPL red vein removal, facial peels and callus removal. The prices in general are slightly lower than most city centre salons (facials cost around €70 up), and the online booking system allows you to made instantaneous appointments via phorest without having to wait for confirmation. Overall, nice salon with friendly staff, a range of treatments and interesting special offers.

They took my booking and I gave my card details and only that I phoned the following day did I find out that due to an error on THEIR part my booking had been double booked. On one note I have to say Aoife who answered the phone was lovely and did all she could for me but when I was passed to the manager Karen how different that experience was. I was told "did I expect her to get more staff in for my booking" ? That it was overbooked and that was it. SHE TOLD ME that there was no alternative booking for me as I had limited dates and they couldn't help. She spoke to me very abruptly and there was no way she was going to offer me any alternative. Not even a discount for a reschedule. I gave them my card details and NOT ONCE on the call did she mention my card and give me comfort that it would NOT be debited for my booking. It was their mistake and they admitted that but as for giving me any kind of customer satisfaction to turn my double booking experience into a positive one, I rate them with a huge ZERO only for I have to click on one star to get this posted thats the only reason I have one star rating if I could give -1 I would.

I carry all my stress in my back and lately it's just been bothering me all day, I know that it's all mental emotion that a fortnight in the Maldives would solve but alas I have bills to pay. Friday I decided it was time for a deep tissue massage so I called Siobhan and arranged a 45 min session for €45. I've had massages before but with Siobhan she sat down with me before hand to chat about my lifestyle and explain what the massage would entail. I've never had that type of thoroughness, it put my mind at ease and you can really tell that she genuinely cares about her clients and wants them to feel better. As the stress was contained in my back she focused on that area, doing movements that I had never had before such as manipulating my arms and raising my neck, it felt so good. Afterwards she explained that my back is still incredibly tense, which I honestly knew one session would not be enough but I never got the vibe that she was trying to up sell me at all, in fact the opposite she strongly encouraged me to get into yoga and stretch more. Again it's that care and love for what she does that really rubs off on you. I definitely intend to go back again soon, once I get paid.
