Got a Korean body scrub and massage on 12/23/23 and I emerged out of that place feeling renewed and refreshed! The scrub exfoliates a whole layer of skin off and while some people may be disgusted by the rolls of dead skin or feel like it's too abrasive, I actually LOVE it! Massage by Quay was fantastic, great pressure and focus on my trouble areas like the shoulders.

One of the most relaxing things I've done in a while. There's a bunch of different pools that are different temperatures and two saunas. I also loved the heated rooms and the food was pretty good but a tad expensive. I was scared to get butt naked but it's really not weird no one is looking

I love love love this place for a me-time, self-care day. Relaxing and the right price to unwind with a day pass (even though they just increased day pass rates). Perfect for cold-hot water therapy (5 different temp tubs - 2 on the hotter side, 2 lukewarm and 1 cold with waterfall), FIR saunas with elemental features like mud/jade, Himalayan salt, charcoal (4 large rooms), dry sauna and steam room, and a cool cabin room, and lounge with foot massagers. The spa is naked for women only (but don't worry you get over yourself in like 3 minutes--there are all kinds of body types here and zero body shaming)--the FIR saunas, cold cabin room, lounge, tea room and in the restaurant you wear a provided robe. They also do full body scrubs ($) in the Korean style, and offer massage ($) (I really enjoyed massage here with Brooks). For those who would DIY, there is a bench shower row where you can bring a scrub cloth, sit on a stool and get to work. Mugwort tea splash available to disinfect/tone after use. I highly recommend not skipping the cold water plunge if you can help it--always helps me sleep a bit better.The restaurant is so so good also - I enjoy getting the beef bulgolgi with veggie stir fry--but everything is good, including their complimentary appetizer tray of quick pickles that seems to rotate daily. Bring water in a non-glass bottle, or buy one there--and prepare to unplug because of course no cell phones allowed. Camp out, bring a book you don't mind getting wet or hot! In my experience lull times seem to be late afternoon/early evening when the people who came for the morning are leaving, and the evening group hasn't settled in yet. I love this place and am always looking for my next excuse to go!

My wallet was stolen at some point during my visit. The staff was not sympathetic nor helpful. They didn't return my calls after. They didn't ask for my information to call me if it turned up. Completely complacent. Won't be back.

Wow! What an amazing experience. I'll be back - that was my first time. Amazing scrub, and empowering space, for sure.

drove from portland just to try out this spa. tbh the outside this place looks shabby, but inside is just magicali got a body scrub with Alina and a massage with Quay and i literally walked out a different person. they were so skilled at what they did and took time to make sure i was comfortable. i could easily spend an entire afternoon here, there are so many options for a relaxing day. not to mention that the staff is so friendly and helpful. i left feeling refreshed and revitalized. 100% worth the drive already looking forward to coming back!

My husband surprised me w a spa day! The body scrub was amazing -- so smooth and exfoliated now. The massage was great too. I was able to relax in my own private room and even got some blueberry tea afterwards! I enjoyed the salt room the most. Although it is a bit pricey, it is worth it! The employees keep the facility clean and are so kind. Also, treat yourself to some Korean food after your trip. We are regulars at Ho Soon Yi

Avoid weekends if possible. It gets really crowded.(Recommend Monday first thing in the morning) Great for relaxing in the hot bath and getting a body crumb. The salt and charcoal room is quiet and relaxing that you could fall asleep.

Fantastic experience with a massage today. Really deep- perfect. Brooks is top notch for deep tissue. I was hesitant when I pulled up to the spa because I'm unfamiliar with the area, but once I was in my mind was changed. Really attentive service, clean, well ran. I'll be back
I love me some Olympus Spa ! I felt the need to review them because I've seen many reviews that I believe do not accurately represent their massage department. I go to this spa regularly & have seen nearly every single massage therapist at this location and have never had a bad experience.. yes, they are all different but you know what? That's what makes them special. Every one of them is skilled in something different from the rest. A few of them are amazing at deep tissue, others have a more relaxing style that could put you right to sleep & I feel all of them have been able to manage when I want something in between those two. As a former licensed massage therapist myself with a decade of experience I can tell you one thing for sure: YOUR MASSAGE THERAPIST IS NOT A MIND READER! I understand it's an awkward position for you to be in laying on a table naked when you're not exactly loving the massage you're receiving but i empower you to communicate that your massage is not what you expected it to be, because if you don't then YOU ARE DOING A GREAT DISSERVICE TO BOTH YOURSELF & THE THERAPIST. The way to handle this situation is as soon as possible (as soon as you know this is not the type of massage/service you want) RESPECTFULLY COMMUNICATE to your service provider "I have to be honest, this massage is not what I was expecting" & say why !! "Because the pressure is too light & I feel you aren't getting my knots" or "That technique hurts & is making my low back feel sore" or "I really want to relax but it's difficult to do so when you're talking" whatever the reason may be, TELL THEM !!!!! I know some of you are thinking well I don't want to insult them or it's just too uncomfortable to speak up but waiting until after your session & going to the front desk to complain to their manager or just going home & writing an angry negative yelp review about your experience without allowing them the chance to make adjustments on their end in an attempt to better serve you, that's a hell of a lot more insulting. If we are not aware that you are unhappy with the service you're getting then we have not been properly given the opportunity to adjust, learn & grow. Speak up to be fair to your service provider because as much as we'd like to be able to - again we don't have the ability to read your mind ! Also, Say you speak up & respectfully communicate your needs back to the therapist & they still aren't doing the service you hoped for 5-10 minutes later then speak up again & say "I would like to end this session now" & they will leave the room and let you get your robe back on & leave because that is what we are trained to do in that scenario. If you feel like this person is wasting your time then you should speak up and Ta da! Your time won't be wasted anymore !! This is YOUR massage , not theirs & you have the power to speak up to say what it is you want and you have the power to end it early if you so wish to... it's also possible if another therapist there has an opening at that point in time or later that day & you still want a massage there that day they will do their very best to schedule you into that other therapist's empty spot if you just ask & if they don't have any other availability or you just don't really care to try a massage with someone else that day after that, then they'll refund you your money for the massage that you ended early when you request that from a manager - plain & simple ! & that goes for all services like body wraps, facials or scrubs if you're not comfortable with the service &/or provider. Another tip: If you find a therapist or two that you love -try to stick with them if at all possible instead of going to a therapist entirely new to you so you're less likely to be put in that situation in the first place & you'll have a service you know is
