Stonewater SPA Parksville

I want to preface this review by saying that nothing about my experience was bad, but it also wasn’t amazing. I called same-day to book a treatment and was pleasantly surprised they were able to fit me in for a massage—that was great. Tigh-Na-Mara was fully booked, and I was just looking for a relaxing spa escape during a long weekend at a friend’s house on the Island. The massage itself was just okay. I knew going in that they weren’t RMTs, so I kept my expectations relatively low, but I was still hoping for a great spa-style massage. Unfortunately, the service felt rushed and a bit disjointed. In my opinion, a good massage should have a sense of flow and harmony—this one didn’t quite deliver. Some of the movements even felt a little awkward. That said, the foot massage portion was actually very good—even though I don’t usually enjoy foot massages. The spa itself was clean, and I’d imagine they probably do a better job with treatments like facials or body wraps. I was hoping to try a Seaflora wrap but didn’t get the chance. Overall, I still think this spa is worth a visit if you’re in the area, but maybe consider booking something other than a massage.

A group of us visited Stonewater Spa yesterday, and we all had a fantastic experience! Two of the ladies enjoyed wraps, another had a massage, and had both a massage and a facial. It was the perfect way to spend a girls’ day. We’ve tried many spas in the Parksville area, and some have priced themselves out of reach for most locals. Stonewater, however, has kept their prices reasonable while offering excellent service. We also used the pool and hot tub before our treatments. The spa isn’t part of the resort, so there were plenty of hotel guests using the pool, but it was still a nice way to relax before or after treatments. Afterwards, we headed to the hotel restaurant and indulged in some truffle fries—they were definitely worth the calories! Thank you to Shirley and the entire team for making our day so lovely.

This is a beautiful spot tucked into the Beach Club Resort in Parksville. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted by not only staff, but the ambiance and lovely fragrance of sweet soft aromas. My mother and I booked 75 minute massages and when I tell you we both left in agreement that this was the best massage either one of us has ever had. From the heated bed to the luxurious oils....the beautiful decor and comfortable atmosphere the stage was set. The two staff that provided our treatments were incredible at their jobs...leaving no knot undone! In comparing stories afterward we were both gushing about how good we both felt....how well we had been taken care of. It is hours later and I am still feeling lighter than I have in a long time. You MUST visit this spa. You MUST! Incredible.

Absolutely amazing Spa. My husband and I called to see If we could get in for a couple massage for my birthday. Unfortunately the Grotto at Tigh na mara where we were staying was all booked up and they weren't able to accommodate us so we had to look elsewhere. They got us in the next day. Tamara did my massage and omg was it amazing. It made our day!!! Thank you so much for adding some relaxation to our weekend :)

Enjoyed a nice visit with my Mom. We had a swim in the pool and soak in the hot tub. I had the facial which was lovely, nice and relaxing the lady was friendly and did a great job. We ate at the restaurant and had a delicious seafood chowder and chicken brioche. We would do this visit again, great value.
