It seems to be designed for sitting in the pool and having drinks, resort style. All just a few feet deep and with the fancy shapes, you wouldn’t be able to swim in a straight line. The “water park” is a big, sunny natatorium, but the pools are not swimmable. Staff at the restaurant were very friendly and helpful front desk staff were almost, but not quite, rude. Food looked like the food at any Korean food-court restaurant, but twice as expensive. I paid $3.50 for hot tea - one tea bag in a styrofoam cup of hot water like you’d get at a gas station.

The drinking water fountains are like “break room” fountains, with only little paper cones to drink out of. Stylish.īring your own water bottle or cup, because there are no water cups available. So you get to lounge around in a sweaty t-shirt instead of the usual terrycloth robes that most spas issue. Far worse than that is the mandatory wearing of spa-issued shorts and t-shirts in the common areas. Dallas is not a city where most men enjoy being nude around one another. The vibe in the men’s area is super awkward. Mandatory nudity in the single-sex areas, which I understand is the Korean way, but clothing-optional would allow those who want to be nude to do so while letting others use swimsuits. The door to that sauna is basically a hobbit door and it’s pretty cramped and claustrophobic inside. In the common area, the only truly hot sauna has no seating - you sit on the hot floor using a mat not much bigger than a large placemat.

There are several very good hot and cold pools in the area, also. The men’s section has a warm dry sauna with tiny benches and a steam room where you sit on tiny blocks.
