This is my third visit here, and first of all the new facilities are a welcome. The primary facilities are upstairs and are for women, so there are two hot tubs and a steam room. Men can use the hot tub if you make appointments on Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday; otherwise the downstairs facilities have a steam room.
I made my visit on a Monday in advance and had the place to myself, since it is normally closed except with appointments. I had Kay, who was kind enough to let me inside well before my appointment to use both the hot tub and steam room. Kay was very professional, giving me an invigorating and thorough body scrub and shampoo for roughly one hour, which included hot towels and pouring pails full of hot water. . She scrubbed most of my body, covering all but the parts that of course are off-limits. I skipped the face part of the scrub in order to add a few precious minutes of the massage.
During the massage she tugged at some of my more stubborn muscles, followed by coating parts of my body with warm oil in a relaxing rub.
Following this there were hot showers to rinse off, followed by a clean and roomy changing area.
I walked out of Hani Joa feeling relaxed and refreshed.
The staff overall is wonderful and accommodating and I will be sure to come back. They also have couples packages, and would love to bring my wife here.
