Great deal! My friend and i got massages and day pass. I would say know what you're getting. You're paying way less than sojo or other Korean spas for a reason, so lower your expectations
Facilities overall: Very clean facilities. Two women were there before me, and someone immediately cleaned the showers. Unlike other reviewers, we did not experience smelly towels or any mildewy smell at all in the entire place language barrier was a bit of a challenge, might be a good idea to download Google translate before you go, Parking lot was also veeeeery narrow and tricky. There's only one ramp to get in and out, so you're totally reliant on the parking guy to make sure no one is coming down while you're trying to go up. Parking was free but required tip was $3. I would try to park on the street, given how treacherous the lot is.
The layout is a little odd, but it's fine once you figure it out. The co-ed food/snack area is out by the front desk. Snacks were perfect (fruits and some Asian crackers and sweets), didn't have a chance to try the food Men's/women's separate bathroom areas have lockers with electronic locks (one for personal items and another separate compartment for shoes), toilets, showers, and sauna. There was no separate steam room, but you can get the sauna nice and steamy by pouring water onto the heating element. Day pass area can be accessed through the bathroom areas or from the front desk area. There's the Himalayan pink salt room, a vanity, sitting area that looks perfect for reading or journaling, beauty pod, foot smoking area. I saw on tiktok that the foot smoking machine and beauty pod were free, but I'm pretty sure they're not. See attached images for "Chinese medicine smoked foot."
Massage: Probably one of the best massages of my life. Highly recommend!!! You can get a massage with oil or with the traditional loose clothing. My friend got a massage with oil, and i got one with traditional loose clothes that they provide to you, both were great. Would have been nice to have some relaxing music in the background, my friend and i could hear each other's tortured massage noises 😂
Day pass: Must be purchased separately from other services. Great place to escape from the world and relax. The salt room was beautiful and unique. It was hot, but a little cooler than sauna levels. Great place to relax and stretch. Highlight of this room was the warm pebble beds - basically river rocks with some warming unit under them, which feels way comfier than it sounds!! Supposedly you can't use showers and sauna if you didn't get the day pass, but i really don't see how they enforce that since it's all in the same area as the lockers 🤷🏻♀️ perhaps it was a communication issue. Next time I'll stay longer and take advantage of the free meals that come with...
Read moreFaculties are super nice and decently clean. Very quiet and peaceful. The staff itself do not speak English besides the front desk so some patience is needed. The massages are hard in pressure so if you like that then you are in for a treat and there isn’t a way to adjust. They had food and drinks available for people to take in the lobby. Lovely visit!
My only suggestion for Oriental Palm Spring Spa is to include gratuity in their pricing. I paid $196 was going to leave a 20% gratuity of $40 which is a pretty normal service charge. But because I had massages by multiple people I was expected to pay for each one of my masseuses. This is unfair to the consumer because typical tipping culture in America is by price. Relying on the consumer to pay for each masseuse isn’t fair to both parties especially since we did not know multiple persons would work on us. This added service charge would make sure each masseuse is able to get paid by every consumer that uses...
Read moreGreat place to relax and spent time with friends and family. This SPA is a rare find in the flushing area where you can stay overnight and enjoy all the service they provide within your stays. Starting with providing you a set of pajamas and fresh towers, they have regular shower, sauna, salt sauna(steam room), but also include extra services with additional fees, like massage and hair wash with head massage and more. The place is clean and smells very fresh. They even have complimentary snacks like rice porridge, marinated tea egg and more when you are hungry. If you are in the area and would like to spend sometime treating yourself, this is a...
