β€œThe sauna and stream room became my sanctuary during the colder days. The gym is very well equipped also. The sauna could be a little hotter but it’s spacious and well maintained. The best thing is the location as you can run outside for a cold plunge in the ocean ! The spa pools are often closed which is a little disappointing but overall good price and worth it!”

β€œThe amount of natural light that comes in the building is beautiful and it feels less noisy than most pools. This is a dedicated lane swimming pool (eg no kids play area) with gym, steam room, sauna and spas. If you have a sauna tag, they are happy you let you out and back in for the short walk to the ocean for a ocean plunge for your cool down.”
