its a family friendly spa. They have pools, which kids enjoy. In Korea its a tradition to go as a family. Our kids enjoy going. They have a few friends they have made there even that they see often during our visits.
Everyone is saying the kids are well behaved. Are they just sitting quietly in the pool? Or are they playing like or you see in a neighborhood pool? Maybe the word spa is what is throwing some of us off. That does not seem relaxing in the least.
Yes the kids are no issue at spa world, They are in the pool with there parents and normally are kept quiet and not running around, Some bring a few small bath tub toys or something to play with in the water. Nothing like the neighborhood pool. Not sure about the female side, but this is what i have observed on the male side.
Did you feel like it was a lot of guys "cruising" on the male side? Did you bring your DS weekday or weekend?
I’m a PP who loves Spa World and went with my husband, and he did note a guy that seemed to be checking him out.
yes this spa is both male and female. All ages use it, no different than all ages men and woman use any other pool only difference It's separated by gender so the dress code is not an issue.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:We took our teens to spa world and they knew it was naked in the pool areas before we went and we’re ok with it.

boys, too?

Honest question - what do you do for 4 hours?
I rotate between the pools, steam room, and sauna. Maybe spend an hour there. Get a treatment: body scrub or massage. In the shared (both gender) space there are many rooms with different elements: an amethyst room, a clay room etc. Spend 10-20 minutes in each and then rest on a mat between each for 5-10 minutes. Eat or have a smoothie.
The time goes quickly at that place!
Alas I live in an area with no Korean spa to be found. If I had my druthers I’d find someone to partner with and open one, but not sure there’s enough demand here. I would be a regular customer at least!
Can you explain what you do in a clay or amethyst room? I’ve never heard of a Korean Spa. Are people just waiting to treat you in each room and if so what is the treatment? Break it down for me please.
