NYC Spa Castle Tour

[MeredithOD]

okay seriously there should be no kids allowed.

[fwtxnudist]

@MeredithOD why do you say that?

[MeredithOD]

@fwtxnudist bc kids belong at Splish Splash, Hurricane Harbor, Six Flags, other recreational pools. Spas are for adults. That's why.

[fwtxnudist]

@MeredithOD You are forgetting... this is a Jimjilbang style spa. Which is based on Korean style spas where families go together.

[MeredithOD]

@fwtxnudist and you are forgetting that it is located in New York, where spas are an adult activity. despite its origins, some alterations must be made to fit the culture where it is trying to attract customers.

[fwtxnudist]

@MeredithOD NO, quit being selfish!!! You're probably a spoiled brat that wants things her way all the time. Too bad. 

[fwtxnudist]

@MeredithOD BTW, it's in Jersey!

[MeredithOD]

@fwtxnudist lol no difference in relation to what my point was-- our culture does not encourage the combination of spa + kids... spas, in the US, are meant for adults to relax. esp parents--it's a chance to get away from their own kids! the last thing they want is to go for a one-day getaway and be tripping over someone else's kids...

[fwtxnudist]

@MeredithOD If parents want to get away from their kids, they can go to NON-family oriented spa. Simple as that. A korean owned and operated business should not change their practices to fit "your" culture. If they did that, you would have another cookie cutter business. A spa that would be the same as any other.



[MeredithOD]

@fwtxnudist that's fine, if they want to lose business bc they're being true to an aspect of their culture that doesn't fit in with the expectations of the society of their consumers and ends up being just a big inconvenience ..then that's just fine. They're the ones losing money, not me. plenty of other spas where kids are not allowed. for the record, I'm not saying they should change ALL cultural specific aspects of the business, just the ones that aren't going bode well with their customers.

I went there idk why it gets bad ratings. I thought it was great. Fortunately there were no kids there when I went.

lol i have been hearing bad things about this place past few weeks. I want to get my mother a day dedicated to spa treatment and was wondering which one would be the best in Manhattan around 150-200$range. Apparently this chinese establishment is not good in providing customer care.

Spa Castle is slowly going down hill. Unsupervised children in the pool areas, broken power jets, occassionally not as clean as it was when we first started going and today was the worst, the pools were filled with cold water. No warm water in the pools. Management was rude about this and offered nothing except that on our next visit he would make sure we got a complimentary juice drink. Talk about insulting. We should have been given back our entrance fees. The pools were empty
