I really enjoyed my time spent here. The array of sauna options is fantastic and I felt like I could take my time and leisurely make my way through the whole place. I went on a Friday evening which was nice because not very many people were there. I particularly enjoyed the quiet caves where you could stuff yourself into a small quiet "cave" and relax. Pillows were provided as well and there are outlets inside. The hottest sauna actually burned my feet even with the shoes they give you so I would take caution on that as I had to hop out quickly. I will be back and spend a larger amount of time here. The one issue I have is I called and asked how they clean the areas, especially the sauna with the clay balls and no one was ever able to tell me what process they use to sanitize this which makes me feel slightly ick. Either way, if you aren't super grossed out by that I recommend a day here.

First time at a spa ever. Was here on a Friday afternoon. Once you enter in, you have to put the shoes you walked in with in a small locker. You're given a spa uniform, which is a t-shirt and shorts, with 2 small blue towels. Men are given a different color uniform than the women. I asked for a tour but it ended up just being a brief overview of the place and pointing out a few key spots. The floors were not cold and very clean. Didn't even need my socks. The gender-separated lockers are bigger than the locker in front and you are given a key with a wristbrand to wear throughout your time there. The restrooms, pools, saunas, and showers are also right there. I actually thought the pools were co-ed and would be in a separate area. Like the reviews said, you do have to feel comfortable with being nude and seeing nudity once you enter the locker/shower area. Your hair has to be tied up when you're in the pool and no cameras allowed. Outside of the locker/shower area, there's no need to be nude. I booked a Shiatsu Massage online and didn't realize I had to arrive 20 minutes early. It got pushed back, which was needed. They only have female masseuses. The lady I had was Lucy. Never done a shiatsu massage so I didn't fully know what to expect beyond one Youtube video I watched. All my clothes had to be off. She emphasized that there is no oil involved, but ended up applying a lot of oil when she initially said she will use a little. She also kept asking if I liked a swedish or deep tissue massage. She started off hard but switched to gentler strokes. I felt sore later in the day in certain areas of my body. The oil they use for massages is coconut oil. Was I relaxed? No. But I've never really felt relaxed during a massage except once. Massages are once in a blue moon experiences for me. There are rooms upstairs and downstairs. Both levels have an area to dine. Upstairs has some private rooms and an area with a stage and large TV screen with recliners and long couches. Wifi is available. Saw a few individuals with laptops. I think I tried/looked at every room they had: Ocher Ball Room (145 F, it gets pretty hot) Pyramid Room Jade Room (93 F, salt with heat) Far infrared wave room Forest room (ok) Arctic Room (43 F) Himalayan Salt Room (136 F, it's pretty hot) Fire dome (super hot, feet will burn) Theater room (big screen with recliner chairs; played Adam Sandler movie; they have different streaming services available) Private Golf rooms + open area for golf Downstairs had mats to lie down on and sleep off, cool down, or whatever. For a Friday, it seemed semi-busy later in the afternoon. I would say it wasn't crowded enough because you could find an empty room for a few minutes or a room with 1 or 2 people. Most people came in a group (family or friends) or as a couple. They provide free water with small cups in the lockers and by the restaurant upstairs. You can also bring a water bottle. Overall, it was a nice experience. I have nothing to compare it against.

The facility is nice and clean... Staff is friendly and helpful. The spa offers an authentic Korean spa experience even though most customers were not. The restaurant and bar were also excellent. Prices are fair. My only gripe is that you have to pay entrance fee even if you book a service.

I am not sure how this place is allowed to operate. You have to be minimum ELEVEN years old to use the NUDE facilities. Very disturbing that little naked children can go in with grown adults. Absolutely no swim wear allowed, you have to be naked.

This was my first time at Spa World and I was looking forward to a relaxing Christmas day here. Check-in was easy and the staff was friendly. Overall, I thought the facility was nice and clean. However, I would've preferred to be able to wear slippers or something in the bathroom instead of going barefoot. There are signs posted on all of the rooms asking for people to be quiet. However, those signs were largely ignored by a lot of the spa-goers. One woman pulled out her cell phone in the Himalayan salt room and proceeded to have a full-blown, loud conversation. It didn't seem that the quietness was enforced. I also decided to have some lunch at the Korean restaurant upstairs. However, the ramen was very mediocre and was too salty.

I loved this spa for so many reasons. If you are looking for a place to spend a few hours or all day relaxing and meditating, this is the place for you. The staff is so friendly from check-in to dining and even while exploring. This spa has everything you can ever think or imagine - themed saunas, hydro pools (heated and cooled), steam rooms, showers, a wine bar, a full service cafe, and so much more. You can also receive a full body scrub or massage by appointment only. The place was really clean and felt so safe. I would recommend going during the week for cheaper admission pricing but the weekend pricing is still worth all that you get while there. If you're in Katy, check this place out. You won't regret it and I guarantee you'll leave more peaceful than you showed up!

Absolutely amazing, I love the front desk lady with the glasses and shorter hair she was so nice! The atmosphere was so relaxing and it was all very clean. The food at the restaurant is very good too! I have yet to try the karaoke but I'm sure it's great too

This place is well known by most, but this was my first visit. It certainly seemed popular with many visitors coming in and out when I came on a Saturday afternoon with my 2 friends. You walk in the entrance and are given a key for a locker for your shoes. After you put your shoes away, then you check in at the front. And sign a detailed waiver that you rescind all liability to the business as a whole, and will be fined if you destroy property, and you may be asked to leave at any time and must leave. I was thinking to myself, what has happened in the past as to why this is needed for a spa? I used a Groupon for the $49 entry fee. Then I thought I bought a Groupon for the massage, but it turns out they don't have Groupon for massages. It was for a different place. Awe, man! Perhaps I came in with the incorrect expectations. But I did not leave more relaxed than when I entered. It was more of a sensory center. We didn't get a tour, so we just tried to figure it out as we went along. There were several hot rooms and 1 cold room that you could stay in, for relaxation. And you just sort of stay in each room for as little or as long as you want, and try to zen out. Some people were sleeping in one room, like adult nap time. Some of the rooms were occupied, and some had space for multi groups. We tried to hit up each place, the salt room, the gold room, the fire dome, etc. I will say it's a great place to lounge around for a while, but you can do that at other spas as well. I noted in reviews that people come to work on their laptops here, so for some, this may be appealing. The entrance fee seems to just get you access to the many mini rooms, but the real spa items are separate costs. I opted not to get the massage or any other add ons since I had already paid for another place unknowingly. Honestly, I did not get a lot of info at the front desk about how best to go about the experience, so maybe it would have been a better experience if I had more understanding? Not sure. I think some may really love this place, but others may not. I didn't see the appeal to return.

Excellent spa! We are very fortunate to have this in Houston. Thank you for providing this business.
I love this place. I bring everyone here from mom, sisters, friends - EVERYONE! Great way to relax and forget about stress. When I worked from home - I'd come here sometime to work. During the week it's quiet and you can get real work done while relaxing.

Plenty of parking and nice Korean Spa right here in HTx. . They offer the services you would expect like massage, reflexology, body scrubs, facials, experience rooms, relaxation areas, food and drink. I like that there is an outside space. The food imo is much better than some other Korean spas in the area. But I that other spa too! Lots of open spaces not overly crowded, at least on the day that I went. Staff is friendly and helpful. It is a Korean spa, so you will be given a uniform and an arm band to keep track of your charges. There are also non-coed spaces in which you will only have a towel. But there are literally women of all ages and cultures; the atmosphere is relaxing and non-judgmental. I know it's scary at first, but it's actually cool to be in an environment where women aren't judgy and all in the same boat so to speak. You just have to experience it to understand what I mean. If you've never had a Korean scrub, it's a must do! It's an intense goal oriented scrub that will take years off your skin's age and leave you glowing!#koreanskincare #itworks #koreanspa I definitely recommend and will be returning!

Very fun and nice place. The rooms are very relaxing and my family enjoy coming here.

The spa was great different saunas and hot tubs with massager jets the massage while in the water. Food was not very good the taste and quality was poor. Would rather have cup of noddles then the food they served. Man was on his cell phone in the hot tub and the attendant quickly told him to put in his locker. Two guys in the sauna area were acting a bit sneaky and lurking around.
Alisa S.
Clean. Quiet. I tipped for my massage but my hubby did not enjoy his so he tip only $5 and the lady at the desk was mad! She was basically attacking him because he did not want to tip more than that. That was the worst part about the experience. Also the jacuzzi area is fully nude, just FYI.
