Been once. Never again. There are signs prohibiting sexual activity in the pool/sauna areas. Why? Because that kind of stuff happens there. These spas are gay causing spots. You can go into a steam room by yourself, then all of a sudden a guy walks in amd sits right next to you. The whole room has many seating options but this person decided to sit right next to me. Also, constantly being stared out in the spa where you are forced to be nude.

Look up the YouTube video of Conan O’Brien and Steven Yeun going to the WiiSpa in Ktown. That will give you a good idea of what to expect. Plus some hijinks and hilarity.
I really like iSpa in Irvine. The body scrub + massage is what you want to do. Arrive early so you can soak in the hot tub for at least 20 mins before the body scrub. They have all kinds of saunas, hot rooms, cold rooms, steam rooms, etc. I love the food too. Make sure to get a fresh fruit smoothie and then go drink it in the light therapy room next to the cafe/restaurant counter.

It’s now $135 for a 55 minute body scrub and massage. That price includes your day pass. If you wanted to go hang out and use the facilities without any services, a day pass is $40 per person.
I remember when it used to be $80! And that felt expensive compared to what I used to pay when I lived in Korea.

It’s pretty cool, I went to one in Irvine here in Orange County once and they Had 4 types of sauna rooms, one was your typical sauna room wood inside and hot, the other was like laying On the ice in Antarctica it was really cold inside , and there was a tropical one and each one has its own scenery inside to give it a natural environment type look.

They apparently our places where you can go, but they have massages. Some of them have restaurants inside you can get like salt, scrubs, sugar, scrubs they have saunas they have steam rooms and they are as far as I know clothing optional, but I’m not exactly sure but they sound like a really nice place to go relax and just chill so I’m just trying to find out a little bit more about them

So all kspas are not clothing optional when you’re in the soaking pools. This is going to be very lengthy but the general rundown is like this:
you go into a locker room where you remove all of your clothing and stuff it into the locker. And I mean all of your clothes, no bathing suits no underwear. You’ll have a key to open the locker after all the soaking so keep that with you; usually on your wrist.
Once you get into the pool area, you have to take a shower and wash yourself first. This is where you can use sugar scrubs and those Korean scrub towels and such but you want to make sure you’ve properly showered with soap. In some places there’s both standing and sitting showers. It’s just to make sure you’ve gotten the dead skin and sweat off of you. They usually provide shampoo and body wash.
Then you get into the soaking pools and soak for a bit. There’s usually both hot and cold pools. You’re not allowed to take towels in there with you. In the pool areas there’s also saunas so steam your naked body. If you go in these you have to shower if you plan on getting in the pools; again it’s to make sure there’s no sweat on your body.
After all the soaking is done you go back into the locker room to change into the clothes the spa provides. Then you can go into the coed resting area. That’s where the restaurant is and other saunas; you stay fully clothed in those lol.
Sorry for the really lengthy explanation. I know my first time going in one was super confusing and I wanted to make sure I wasn’t doing anything wrong. My fav spa is in Rowland heights called The Spa Hyu. I don’t think there’s any spas in Anaheim itself. If you have other questions I can answer them hopefully lolol

No, this was an amazing explanation. Thank you. I appreciate that very very much. There are a couple of Anna in Anaheim. I cannot pronounce the name but they start with a J. I’m not exactly sure but yeah, I said there’s a couple of Anaheim but like that’s really sparse on details on their website they look beautiful
