Cold Plunge & Sauna
This spa provides a sauna and hot tub as part of its wellness facilities. Spa-goers note the sauna is closed daily from 1-4 PM for maintenance. A policy requiring bare feet or socks in the sauna is enforced, which some guests find unsanitary. This policy is compounded when patrons enter the sauna soaking wet from the pool, creating slippery conditions. The hot tub is also available for use alongside the sauna. Some members have expressed frustration with this rule and its enforcement to management.
