The Good Stuff
Pool-view pedicure
A pedicure was praised for its comfortable, relaxed setting overlooking the pool.
25m pool
The 25-metre swimming pool is a recurring highlight for laps, relaxation and workouts.
Fitness facilities
Reviews describe a useful gym alongside swimming, sauna and steam-room facilities.
Relaxing ambience
Several visitors describe the spa atmosphere as peaceful and calming, especially during massage visits.

Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm duration. Before starting, confirm the treatment style and full duration; one 60-minute booking reportedly ran about 50 minutes.
Check temperature. Ask about room temperature before a massage, since one guest found the central air conditioning too cold.
Secure valuables. Avoid leaving cash or valuables in lockers; reviewers reported money missing from wallets.
Plan parking. Allow extra time on a first visit: finding the hotel parking and spa entrance can be tricky without help.
Check discounts. Ask about Monday and Wednesday spa or massage-package discounts before booking.
Verify vouchers. Clarify anniversary-voucher limits and expiry terms at reception before relying on a repeat visit.

The Bottom Line
Natural Element Spa in Al Garhoud is a combined spa, gym and pool destination. You can book a massage, get a pedicure overlooking the pool, swim in the 25-metre pool or use the fitness facilities. The spa’s own description also mentions face and body treatments, hydrotherapy rooms, a Pedi Spa and thermariums, giving it more than a treatment-room-only setup.
The strongest reviews are therapist-specific: guests describe some massages as carefully adjusted for tension, while another visitor called the pedicure wonderful and praised the relaxed pool view. The pool, gym, sauna and steam room also appeal to people who want to work out and unwind in one visit. The overall atmosphere is often described as peaceful, and several reviews mention friendly or professional service.
There are important caveats. Other guests felt their massages were mainly oil application, one reported receiving about 50 minutes from a 60-minute booking, and reviews mention cold or noisy rooms. Gym users have also complained about heat, ageing equipment and unreliable air conditioning.
Keep valuables out of lockers, confirm treatment duration and style, and ask about Monday or Wednesday package discounts. First-time visitors should allow extra time to locate the hotel parking and spa entrance.
