After a few minutes, nothing bothered either of us on that level. We were both prepared for the nudity, as I had read about that ahead of time. After we checked out all the attractions, we decided to check out the indoor baths. The temp in most of them was too hot for a child, so I had to miss out on most as I didn't want to leave my child unattended for long. I thought the food was quite good, and while a bit expensive, I had no particular issue with that. I got the club sandwich and my child go the chicken tenders. Nice, just green behind the ears it seemed. Hard to communicate with, deer-in-the headlights look with each order. The bartender acted like this was his first day on the job. I bought just a virgin daiquiri that we shared. Not sure if it is even open in the winter months, but it did look like they were working on it. We checked out the outdoor pools for a while. she refused to ever let me take her picture in the uniform. She had a mini melt down and I had to threaten to leave. I thought they looked find, but then again I'm not a 10 yr old into fashion. Mine was fine, but my girl hated the unflattering bright yellow long shirts. So we were trying to put all our stuff in the shoe lockers when a kind soul enlightened us. We didn't know there were other bigger lockers later on, and no one had told us. You are supposed to only put your shoes in the first set of lockers.
Our first mistake was made right after check-in. So be prepared to share your personal space with saggy knockers and cellulite prone thighs around you. No option to have private shower alone, it was just open space and it was written that “NUDITY IS REQUIRED”. One negative, however, was that after we finished and wanted to take a shower, we had to get naked with other people (same gender). I think it is a good idea, since not everyone comfortable eating sushi while looking at obese people in a swimsuit. The uniform are t-shirt and shorts, they're actually simple cover-ups for your swimsuit. You also have to wear the Spa Castle uniform in restaurant area and sauna area (except the gender-based sauna where you have to be naked). But it is recommended to bring your own towel if you need a bigger towel. Towel and all amenities (soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush, toothpaste) are provided too.
Drinking water are provided free and unlimited (even though the cups are small), so you don’t have to worry about dehydration after sauna or have to buy over-priced water bottle. Reception lady in the front office was really friendly and patient, she helped me with the key locker, and explained that there are 2 lockers: one smaller locker for shoes, one bigger is for everything else.
My visit was wonderful because my husband and I did it on a week day while not so many people there.We had 1 big pool just for us, plus no children running around like in the water park which means complete relaxation. Facilities are quite clean and high-tech, well maintained. Great value! With $35 each person (and even half price in ), you can enjoy 10 types of sauna and 10 different pools (indoors and outdoors) include lazy river, waterfall and more than 20 types of hydro-therapy machines.
