Overall Impression: my experience started off a bit rocky. They add an additional 3% service charge on top of your day-pass fee, which seems ridiculous. Never had that at any spas before. Then I had to sign 3 different forms just to get in the men's area. They also put an uncomfortable paper bracelet on your wrist (yes, the kind you wear at a concert to prove you're old enough to buy alcohol) for reasons which were unclear. I just ripped mine off once I was inside.
The best and most unique feature were the 2 Experiential Rain Showers. They have 3 settings for various intensities: Cool Fog, Tropical Rain, and Caribbean Storm. A very nice way to cool down, especially after a hot sauna or jacuzzi.
I was excited to check out the Igloo Room, but it was out of order. I asked the grumpy manager when it was going to be repaired, and he said they had no specific timeline on the repairs. I'll remove the [out of Order] tag above if someone messages me that it's working again. Also, the Finnish Sauna didn't get as hot as it should due to a large glass wall which was absorbing too much heat.
The lack of Cold Plunge cost this place a 5th star. In my opinion, your money is better spent at Qua. You get a lot more spa for the same price.
