| - I checked this place out after buying one of their day passes on Groupon. Don't get me wrong - the regular general admission price is cheap enough, but when you can get it for half price, that's pretty cool.
First, as other people have commented, if you haven't been to a Korean Spa before, this is not the place for you if are overly modest. Just sayin'
The ritual when you get there is to to put your shoes in the shoe locker, get the flip flops out and head into the locker room to continue getting changed. The shoe lockers don't lock, so I just brought my shoes with me and put them in my locker that actually locked. From there, you head into the wet area to shower and just relax in the hot tub or variety of saunas and steam rooms. If you get a little over heated, there's a cold plunge or if you aren't that brave, there are chaise lounges in the wet area or comfy chairs in the locker area.
I got the basic men's body scrub. It was great. He scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed. I don't remember feeling so clean - ever. Just get there about a half hour before your appointment time. You'll need that time to relax and spend 10-15 minutes in the spa to soften up your skin. That, and my skin was exceptionally soft. My wife is a fan ;-)
After the treatment, I checked out the co-ed areas upstairs. I put on my "uniform" and headed up. I checked out the rooms upstairs, but fell in love with the Red Clay Ball Room. Or more appropriately, fell asleep there.
There was a gym and restaurant upstairs, along with a sleeping area and lots of comfy chairs to just hang out. I was there for three hours today, but easily could have spent all day there...
