Cold Plunge & Sauna
This spa provides a traditional Korean sauna and bath experience centered on authentic heat therapy and contrast bathing. The facility features a variety of themed dry sauna rooms with different temperatures and environments. These range from a mild pyramid room to an extremely hot oven-style sauna with metal grates, for which small yoga mats are provided. A hot stone floor sauna is also available, requiring guests to bring their own towel. The gender-separated bathing area includes multiple hot baths with jets and a dedicated cold plunge. Spa-goers note the hot baths range from warm to hot, with one containing herbs. Two steam rooms are also present in this area. Guests describe a routine of bathing, using the saunas, and then utilizing the cold plunge for contrast therapy, though some note the cold room is far from some sauna rooms.
Atmosphere
The atmosphere receives mixed feedback. Many guests appreciate the authentic Korean spa atmosphere for a relaxing day. The main area contains many loungers and couches where people sleep and relax. However, other spa-goers describe the environment as chaotic, more like a loud social hour than a tranquil retreat. They note the layout places the restaurant next to saunas and quiet areas, leading to noise and food smells that disrupt the ambiance. A designated movie room plays films, which some families appreciate.
Pricing
Admission is charged via a day pass system, with a noted rate of $50 for a Saturday pass. Spa-goers mention the admission and on-site food can be expensive, with one party noting a total of $190 for two adults and three children, plus an additional $90 for lunch. The spa uses an RFID armband system for locker access and on-site payments. Large towels are available only for rent.
Staff
Feedback on staff is mixed. Some guests describe receiving excellent service and note the staff are nice. Others report experiences with staff that were rude and unhelpful. A specific point of contention is that some guests feel staff do not adequately disclose facility closures, such as the bar or ice room, until after payment is processed.
Additional Amenities
Beyond the core bathing facilities, the spa offers a food counter serving mostly Korean cuisine. A free water station with paper cups is available. The pool deck area includes an adult pool, a jet pool, and two hot tubs, though guests note the jets are very strong and the pools are not heated. Massage chairs are available for an additional cost. Several amenities, including the children's water park slide, lazy river, and ice room, are reported as permanently or temporarily closed.
