Oasis was one of a couple spas recommended by colleagues when I mentioned I'd like a massage while visiting New York. I liked the atmosphere overall, and the staff that checked me in was very friendly.
I was disappointed though in the actual massage. The therapist was friendly, but she seemed new or at least unfamiliar with the treatment (Muscle Meltdown Massage). This "specialty massage" ended up being a fairly standard Swedish massage with heat packs placed on the areas she wasn't working on at the time. She also seemed more like a chiropractor (pulling joints, applying pressure at odd angles, quick jolty movements) than the slow, deep muscle massage I expected based on the description online and conversation with the reservation agent.
Next time, I will either try another spa or at least make sure I have a different therapist. Overall, not horrible, but certainly disappointing for the money...
