Aqua Sana Reviews 99

Really disappointed in our recent visit. Have been many times in the past and always enjoyed the spa’s, however, we visited last week and it was extremely busy and noisy. Guests were taking photos and videos from the balcony of the pool and everyone in it as well as having phones in the saunas taking photos. The noise levels were really high with people constantly talking loudly and laughing even in the quiet relaxation waterbed area. Definitely gone downhill which is a shame.

I visited Woburn Forest Aqua Sana in April.

Vitalite cafe is a joke. The portion sizes for the included "dinner" are a small snack I'd give to a child. I had the Moroccan chicken focaccia and cannot recommend it less. It came with a pathetic salad of a few pieces of lettuce and carrot. The focaccia was like a third of a flat panini and the chicken was bland and dry. No flavour and no sauce. An awful meal which took 30 mins to arrive. The cafe was very quiet when we were there and there were a lot of staff around so I don't know what the delay was. We were trying to order for a while before anyone served us - the staff were stood in a corner talking to eachother and not checking tables. I was starving when the food arrived and it was so small that I was still very hungry after.

The sauna itself is a scam for what you pay. The "25 experiences" are just the same 3 things over and over: cold sauna rooms, steam room, relaxation room. They have a few shower "experiences" but they are literally just walk-in showers. Considering how much we paid I'd expect there to be more on offer. All of the treatments are additional to the main fee and extortionate prices.

The sauna rooms were all busy so there was a lot of waiting around for space. It was a far cry from what was advertised. I won't be recommending aqua sana or returning.

Most underwhelming experience ever. Basically lots of different rooms with different types of beds to sleep in and a couple of saunas and showers.
Also far too many people allowed in at once.
Wish I’d looked on here before I booked.

Angela was fantastic! I've been going to Aqua Sana Sherwood for years and had around 10 different masseuses in that time and the massage I had today was absolutely beautiful - definitely the best one I've had yet!

Returned after several visits pre 2020 - always enjoyed it and the price was reasonable and included treatments.

Paid £130 this time for 4.5 hours in the spa, aternoon tea and a 20 minute facial. Bearing in mind - you used to get a full day and a 50 minute treatment for the same price!

It was very busy, people talking far too loudly and staff standing around chatting and laughing.

The afternoon tea was very basic. Not much more than 2 tiny sandwiches, and some small cakes.

While the facial was nice, it was in an open plan area next to the main reception. I found this very odd and was distracted by the noise and going’s on I could hear around me.

All in all I was pretty disappointed. £130 is a lot of money for an afternoon but based on previous experience I thought it would be worth it. It wasn’t - and I won’t be returning.

For saying they have hiked the prices considerably - the place has seriously gone down hill. Such a shame.

Absolutely shocking if you have a voucher for the spa don’t both you can’t book in online have to call up to make a booking was waiting on the phone for 45 minutes before anyone answered, when they finally did they seemed so bored and so unhelpful and unsympathetic. Been here a few times and liked it however this has changed my mind completely!

We returned to Aqua Sana Spa, after a break of around 2 years, what was once a calm & relaxing oasis is now overcrowded & not particularly relaxing at all! The welcome at reception was frosty to say the least, & we were charged twice for one payment, a matter I’ll be taking up with Aqua Sana as soon as I can contact them!
My daughters had a 25 minute massage each which only actually lasted for 18 minutes, they did say the therapists were sweet though, something positive at least! When in certain areas of the spa there was an overwhelming smell of sewage, we did report this to the representative on duty within the spa, she was already aware of the problem, suggesting that we were not the only people to have reported this, duly she went off to “have a look!” Sewage & a spa reliant on water based treatments are not a great combination I’d have thought?
The whole spa felt overcrowded, with wait times for many experiences, hot tubs & relaxation areas being the worst affected!
Overall the experience was certainly not the serene & calming experience we had been expecting, needless to say we certainly won’t be returning, which is unfortunate as all our prior experiences have been wonderful!

Made a booking. Over £250.

Tried to call the number provided in the booking confirmation to find out further details. On hold for an hour. Someone answered and immediately hung up. I called back and had to listen to the hold music again for over 20 minutes before giving up.

Does anyone even work here? Can I get my money back.

We paid £109 each for a relaxing spa afternoon but it was too crowded and too noisy. There is no signage to remind/ask people to talk quietly in the spa rooms; every spa room and area was full of people talking and laughing loudly it was not at all relaxing! We were so disappointed and will not be returning.

About 3x too many people in there, squashed in like sardines in all rooms and good luck trying to get in the two tiny hot tubs outside. The pool was very cold, as were all the relaxation rooms. It’s a lovely place but badly managed and not at all value for money. The least relaxing relaxation experience, I came out more stressed than I went in!

Nice decor and aesthetic, could be a soothing relaxing spa, but it’s just too BUSY. They allow too many bookings at once and everyone suffers. Queuing in a wet swimsuit for a spot in one of two small hot tubs is not what a £90+ spa afternoon should be about. Very disappointing. Rubbish hairdryers too - and the changing rooms were equally overcrowded.

Completely impossible to contact. They have no complaints process. No idea how they can exist

Yuliia was absolutely fantastic! My first ever massage as a present from my girlfriend and will definitely be coming back. Got the deep tissue massage and had some lovely conversations :). Had a spa evening the day before and loved the layout and the guided sleep thing. Yuliia was so lovely and managed to really ease some serious back pain I've been having and also instructed me on how to keep my muscles relaxed in the future.

Terrible day at the spa with my partner. We spent over £400 on a full day with dinner and a treatment and it was awful.

First off: The saunas were barely hot.
Secondly: The food was terrible (ready meals served in plastic containers on a plate)
Lastly: When complaining the customer service team take a month per email to reply to you, and then tell you there were no issues with the operations on the day.

I’ve now not had a reponse from the team regarding my ongoing complaint and will be taking the matter further.

I recently booked a recharging spa day at Aqua Sana in Woburn Forest. The spa treatments were okay, but the dinner was a complete scam. It wasn’t even a proper dinner, just a small snack. Please do not call it dinner!!!

I recently visited Aqua Sana in Thetford Forest and was disappointed to see one steam room was out of action and one hot tub was also not working having to wait almost all day for a "slot".
Changing room can get very crowded and couldn't get to my locker for ages. Another issue was to find the toilet facility in the main spa area is for both male and female... I thought the Law specified there should be separate toilets for each sex. I just felt uncomfortable going to the toilet and finding a man there!

Won't do back massage on pregnant people and that information is nowhere to be found on the treatment page on the website. Got a refund at least.

I can not believe how long it takes for customer service to answer the phone. Incredibly frustrating - when will you learn that there are huge numbers of people who do not want to talk via a bot, crappy generic chat - Grrrrrrr never using this place ever again

Had a really nice time today at aqua Sana Sherwood Forest very clean not too busy like some places, we also had food in the vitale cafe the food was excellent and very good portions we were served by a young lady called Hannah she was amazing very helpful and polite a credit to the company.

Trip to Aqua Sana, Centre Parcs Woburn was booked as Afternoon Tea package for my friends 60th treat. Dietary requirements were given months in advance but not adhered to plus staff had offered to decorate table which didn't materialize . Upon arrival Spa receptionist confirmed dietary requirements, however entering Vitale cafe we were told request not communicated, and couldn't meet our needs, no alternative offered. Spent considerable length of time trying to resolve. Eventually I had afternoon tea, which was below standard and very poor value for money, the 2 sandwiches were 4cm squared with barely any filling, I also asked 3 times for the tea, friend had pasta!! No tea top up offered, staff stood around chatting instead of being attentive to the guests and no apology for their failed internal communication. I will be putting in a complaint for a full refund, absolutely disgraceful service or should I say lack of.
