| - I've never been to a spa before. I'll do a quick review of the place itself first and then explain my experience for anyone who cares.
All I have to say is that I don't really understand the concept of a spa like this lol but it was still enjoyable.
So basically the place has different rooms to relax in with varying heat levels.
It's $20 for all day admission.
It's all about relaxing and distressing your body in a clean and calm area.
There is a restaurant, a few different Sauna rooms, place to watch tv, and even a place to exercise. There is a fully stocked hygiene type area with shampoo, lotion, and hair products, for getting ready.
Aside from those amenities you can get massages at an additional cost.
Overall it's super clean. The staff is super nice. And the place is large.
So if you want a place to go to to just lounge around and relax for a few hours then I'd say to check this place out.
Okay so here's how it works! I feel like saying this because I had no idea "what to do here" so hopefully this helps those first timers.
There are two floors. The bottom is gender specific and the upstairs is for both.
After you pay you are given a wrist band. This is used to open your locker and also to charge your food or drinks since you pay when you leave.
You enter through a a male or female side, put your shoes away in the shoe locker, then you are at a locker room area. There are TV's and chairs to watch TV away from the women and is where you out your stuff.
In the men's side there are a bunch of showers. Sitting showers, standing, cold or hot. Then a big "hot tub" type pool and a cold one, and then 4 saunas. There's a dry sauna, two steam saunas, and another dry heat type sauna room. I don't dig saunas so I don't really have an opinion on these.
Oh yea! Everyone is basically nude down here so don't be bashful. I was a bit apprehensive at first but you really have to get over it to enjoy yourself.
Basically the only time you HAVE TO be fully nude is to enter the pools. It's all about hygiene so you shower nude and then get in the poop nude. This was really actually one of the more relaxing things.
Can't say much about the saunas.
Anyways upstairs!
Then upstairs you must wear the little outfit they provide which include shirt, shorts, and sandals.
There's two TV areas, a restaurant that also serves smoothies and teas, an exercise room, the private Massage rooms, a yoga area, and the "saunas.
The restaurant seems expensive but hey if the food is good who cares.
The rooms are all different in what material they are made out of and how hot they are. I honestly hate being hot so my favorite parts weren't related to the saunas so much.
The stand out rooms were the ice room and the red clay room.
The red clay room has these small red clay balls that you lay in and also these clear rocks that you can lay in. I preferred the balls and this was our favorite room. The balls felt very therapeutic when you lay on them or stepped on them
The idea is to just lay there and relax but the whole process of getting into a pit with tiny clay balls is really loud.
The second favorite room for me was the ice room. It's a freezing cold room. My cup of tea for the hangover I was having.
You use these sauna rooms for 3-7 minutes, drink some water, and relax for 30 minutes and try out the other rooms. I'm not sure the purpose of each room but basically whatever floats your boat then go to the room!
That's basically it. Idk if I'd go again but it was cool to experience. Maybe if there were different explanations to the rooms and their therapeutic benefits then I'd have been more into it but sitting in hot rooms isn't my thing.
If you do it the right way there are about 5 of those dry sauna rooms so in 45 minute cycles you could easily spend a few hours here.
