I had a wonderful experience at King Spa and am looking forward to going back asap!
I must admit, I had to get over the idea of being nude in the pool/steam sauna/scrub area, but once I did I had my best spa experience to date. The facilities were very clean and the staff extremely attentive. I made the mistake of not putting my shoulder length hair up and was approached almost immediately by an attendant with a rubber band. Everyone is required to shower before entering the pool area. Ladies, you MUST get the body scrub! Once you grow accustomed to the fact that you're lying naked on a rubber bed and being scrubbed down by a korean woman wearing loofa mitts, you can enjoy having a full body exfoliation. After the scrubbing part is finished, the woman washes you and you soon realize that (as my friend put it) this must be what it feels like to be a baby and have someone give you a bath. My skin has never felt softer or cleaner. She then washed my hair and off I went into the steam sauna again. After a quick shower we were given our guest uniforms (pink tshirt and shorts) and headed to the co-ed lounge are where I received a wonderful 90 minute acupressure massage. I felt like a noodle afterward. We then headed to the food court where a delicious lunch was waiting for us. We hit almost all of the dry saunas - from hot to cold. I enjoyed the salt room the best.
My bill was extremely reasonable for what I received and am looking forward to becoming a regular there!
