If this hadn't been recommended to me by someone I trusted, I would have thought this was a *wink…read morewink nudge nudge* "massage parlor". The outside (and inside) is old and run down, and let's face it, it is named Shangri-La. However, my bestie and I decided to give it a go, and it ended up being awesome. The front counter person was amazing, and explained everything in detail. Separate women and men sides, separate locker rooms, separate hot tubs and saunas. Then a communal room with small restaurant, small pool, salt spa and clay spa. You can use everything for $33, or you can pay extra for the whole body wash, facial, hair wash experience, which is what my friend and I did. The system is as follows: pay upfront at the counter, and women are handed a pink outfit to change into, and a key to your locker. My friend and I dropped off our stuff, then went and soaked in the hot tub for about 20 minutes. Then we were called for our scrub. This is the part that was unlike anything I've ever done. You are doused in warm water, then every body part is scrubbed hard with a loofah and scrub salt until there is not an iota of extra skin anywhere on your body. Then oil is put everywhere, all the while laying there with a fresh cucumber mask. It was definitely a "hurt so good" experience, and even days later my skin is the smoothest it has ever been. After that we dressed in our pink outfits, and went to the communal area to sit in the salt spa for a while and to grab something light to eat. This is the only area you can have your electronics with you. There was only one man doing everything in the restaurant (cooking, order taking, etc.), so our Korean pancake took about half an hour to make, and many others waited quite a long time to even place their food order You definitely don't come here for the ambiance, but my friend and I can't wait to come back, as this really was such an wonderful way to pamper ourselves.

So, this Korean spa is the only one of its kind in Tampa. I have searched far and wide, unless you…read moreare willing to drive a few hours or fly, this place is not bad for what you pay for. The key point to remember if you pay hamburger price, you won't get steak. With that in mind, here are the negatives and positive. Negatives (every place has it) : It's older & dated. There are some odd things like jewelry they are selling. There are random rooms scattered as private office making it a bit confusing. Next to the cold indoor pool, there are also odd items. Positive side : You can't beat the day pass of $35 for saunas, cold pool, hot tub, steam room and showers. They have sofa, tables and chairs to relax in every corner They actually serve pretty delicious Korean food for a reasonable price. Portion is generous. They give you gown, towels and other items you need to shower and freshen up to step out. All you need is your swimsuit and personal items. Place is clean and quiet. Not a lot of people. The staff are seen but they won't approach you unless you go up to them to request things. So you get your peace & tranquility. Separate shoe locker and interior locker. Yes. The place is not fancy but just remember to get "fancy" it's usually in the 3 digits. You really can't expect to pay hamburger price and get steak. Until they have similar competitor who charges the same but gives you much more, I still feel it's worth it.

The price was just right for how detailed it was. Let me explain that this was a FULL BODY MASSAGE. I left out of here feeling like a brand new person! Not only was it a great massage, but a very peaceful environment, given that she plays the right background music needed for it to give a peaceful/relaxing environment. The best part was the professionalism, she didn't speak during the massage whatsoever. Unlike other places I've been to, they want to have a conversation while working on you...this wasn't the case.

I got to enjoy some wine and cheese prior to check out, which was a nice touch. The Only odd thing was during my check in, I was expecting someone to ask about the current products I use so there are no interactions with the facial products.

Most places in the Tampa area ask for 150-180ish for 50 minutes unless you have a membership with them. Closest price wise is hand and stone but you require a membership to even come close.

I don't usually write bad reviews but we saw people coming into the store and wondered if they knew what they were (not) getting. We signed up for reflexology and there was none, just an attempt to upsale me to doing shoulders (at a foot spa). I think if I asked any person on the street to rub my feet, they would do a better job. Unfortunately, just having creme rubbed over my feet is not case for any review of a foot spa.
