I can't believe all of the whining that people have bothered to do about this establishment. If you want to pay top dollar to drink fruited water by the fireplace (which, OK, might be what you are looking for once in a while) then probably not for you. On the other hand, if you believe that a truly skilled massuse can make a real difference in how you move and feel -- especially if you get massage on a fairly regular basis -- then Eastside Oasis is perfect. I've had massages in a number of places including the Pro Club and Miraval (Oprah's Spa of choice) and can tell you that Mitra is definitely stellar! Her hands know where your muscles are. Whether healing from a back injury (she is certified to be covered by insurance) just feeling great -- I can recommend Mitra -- 150%
Pros: convenience, skill, price
Cons: If you want to pay for posh -- probably not for you

It is really a shame that the folks who read these reviews don't seem to be aware that any decent business makes tweaks to their business along the way based on customer experiences and feedback. This is not a posh spa experience but they do have a very clean zen-like facility with attentive and talented staff. In the past few years they have changed their floor plan around to make it a quieter experience for those visiting for massage only. I've taken several out-of-town friends in for hot stone massages and they loved the experience as well. The receptionists have changed and though I never had a bad experience with any of them the current one is kind and attentive. This is a wonderfull place to visit for whatever your need: mani, pedi, massage, etc. Best of all it is very conveniently located on the Eastside right off of NE 8th (not hard to find if you can read addresses). Prices are reasonable for those of use who simply want a massage (or mani/pedi/facial) and don't feel the need to pay for the 4-star river rock fireplace, the embroidered spa robes, and all of the sometimes ridiculous spa-pampering that goes with it. This place should not be ruled out - if you're not looking for the cost and extras that go with a 4-star spa this is the place to try. I think you'll find you are pleasantly surprised by how much you get from the experience - and you'll spend half of what you would elsewhere. Besides . . . how long do you really have that 4-star spa embroidered robe on anyway . . . .enough to pay double what you would at Eastside Oasis? If you say yes to this you will need to find somewhere else to park your Hummer. For the rest of you - enjoy spending less and getting a fabulous treatment.
Pros: Convenient, professional, reasonably priced, takes insurance
Cons: None

I 'm new to Bellevue and wanted to find a place to have my massage and nails done. I found Eastside Oasis had both services. I read all the reviews and was surprised by the severe trashing of a few with all the others being so good. The prices seemed very reasonable so I decided to give them a chance. I was very happy with my massage with Panissama and my pink & white back fill with Jennifer. The service was great, the Spa was very clean including the nail area. Jamie the receptionist even brought me hot tea while I was waiting. i had a nice relaxing massage on a heated electric massage table. The pedicure was done on a heated pedicure chair with a place for my hot tea. I think the place was terriffic especially all the nice staff and the very pleasant front desk girl. i'll be going back again for my fill and another massage. I can't believe the reviewers were at the same place I went to. Go by and check it out for yourself. Some of these reviews sound like "competition" especially the ones that say to go somewhere else they like better. I will say it is not a posh hotel type spa, just a nice clean modern local business.
Pros: Good Location, free parking, great staff, convenient hours
Cons: NONE

I believe the good reviews of this place are by friends and family. This place is filthy, dumpy and gross. There are some nice people working here but it's not a great spa experience. You get what you pay for.
Pros: cheap, lots of parking
Cons: dirty, gross, basement-like feel, smells moldy and musty, rude front desk

The first time I tried the spa, the massage was OK with a good price. But wow was the front desk rude. I don't remember her name but I was made to feel like I was bothering them. I figure, everyone has a bad day (this is no excuse though - if you don't like being in the service industry, especially a spa, get out), so I tried again because of their advertised special. Again, I was met with horribly rude and cold personalities. The massage therapist was good but the place is dirty looking. There are better, more spa like places for good prices. I won't go there again. Don't be fooled by the specials. It's not worth it.

Each year my husband gives me a gift certificate to a spa. This was my first year at Eastside Oasis and I have already put it on my Christmas list to go back. Jamie gave me the best facial I have ever had. She has just the right touch. The whole experience was a treat, next time I won't wait so long to use my certificate.
Pros: Great services at great prices! Tons of parking.

I booked a couples massage with the spa and was really excited- from the reviews it appeared that this spa would be great. The phone service was impeccable...until we arrived at the spa and the women at the desk barely payed attention to us. She acted as if we were pan handling and being a bother to her. We somehow arrived 30 minutes early even though the woman on the phone told me to arrive 15 minute before the appt. We were sent away and told to return closer to our appt time (even though I had confirmed on the phone 2 times about our appt time.) After we returned 30 minutes later we were then treated to another round of ignoring and rudeness by the receptionist along with a an additional 15 minute wait. While the massage and the massage therapists were kind and very good- the experience felt very "non spa like" and left us with some stress - due to the rude receptionist. Upon completion of the massage- we realized that we did not get our advertised service and were then begrudgingly given a $20 "discount"- if you want a great massage with borderline rude service then you should go here. IF not, there are far better day spas in the Seattle area (sans the rude receptionist.)
Pros: Location, massage therapists
Cons: rude receptionist

I just had the best pedicure of my life with Hong at Eastside Oasis. My feet are heavily calloused, and she soaked them repeatedly and used several methods until she was satisfied by their appearance. Let me tell you, she has very high standards! They looked so great I decided not to polish them.
I will definitely use her exclusively for my nails.

I have had massages all over the United States, England, China, etc. and Eastside Oasis has the best massage therapists I have found. The body scrub, shower and massage package make a very relaxing combo. I have gone to Eastside for several years and am really amazed that they always have such great massage therapists. The surroundings are relaxed--don't expect a posh environment---go with the idea of getting a great massage at a resonable price.
