It was hubby’s birthday last Wednesday. I took him to Spa Castle for a treat. It's just 25 minutes away from home. We figure that there are so many places in NYC that we haven't explore, so we are not going away this summer.
I give them 4 stars out of 5 because the food are a little too expensive. I think it should be more reasonable. And I think they are quite cheap to offer just one set of uniform which will easily get wet, you have to wear it when you are not in the pool. Nevertheless, the service are great and the idea of hassle free for everything is a plus, you don’t need to bring anything with you around, just pay for the services, food and drink with the watch they gave which will also open your locker. Smart!
More importantly, it is very well kept and VERY CLEAN.
When you are inside the building, everyone has to take off their shoes and walk around barefoot just like we’re at home.
There's sleeping area where you can take a nap after the sauna and hot bath. Definitely feel sleepy after the massage. Our first private room massage. We have 2 Korean masseurs who speak Chinese. It surprised us, they are not convince I’m Malaysian, they said I look like Korean… The experience with the massage? so so…not as great as we expected.
Smart idea too for them to charge more on weekend so it won’t get too crowded, so for those who can at least take a day off or go after work is better. USD35 for weekday and USD45 for weekend, you can stay as long as you like, it open from 6 am to midnight.
By the way, not a place for people who feel uneasy being naked around other people. You have to take off everything in the shower area and pool area inside the locker room, of course, only ladies in this area.
Not bad. But the pool area looks a bit crowded, even with the extra surcharge?
ReplyDeleteSiew: Oh, that's a picture I grab from their website, not sure which day that's taken, hehehe. It wasn't crowded on the day we went because it was weekday but started to get busy after 5 pm. And yes I heard it's still busy on weekend even with the surcharge, guess most people can only go on weekend.
ReplyDeletewhat! u didn't invite us? hahaha..
ReplyDeleteDidnt know there is this paradise near our area..and it is not expensive... definitely a 'will go' for us.. but who wanna help watch Ivan... hehehe..
Gigi: I thought I told you we are going to the spa though, hehe. You can take Ivan with you. They have kiddies pool and you can also rent the little tube for him. Oh I even forgot to mention there's a sleeping area on the marble floor, reminded me of M'sia.
