An amazing spot for Korean spa culture right in Honolulu! The atmosphere and staff were warm and inviting, and very helpful in guiding me through my first experience at a jjimjilbang. In addition to an assortment of traditional scrub services, there is also a variety of saunas (both wet and dry) and baths that guests have access to both before and after the scrub. Cleanliness is taken very seriously here, as guests are required to tie up loose hair and shower before using the amenities. They did an amazing job of scrubbing and exfoliating all my dead skin and left me feeling brand new!! My skin has never been so soft before — even days later I’ll definitely return when I’m in the area! It’s highly recommended as a thoughtful gift or for self-care

Today I visited this wonderful place and overall had a very positive experience. I truly enjoyed how thoroughly I was washed and how relaxing the massage was. Everything was clean, and the atmosphere was pleasant. I left feeling refreshed and grateful, especially to the woman who took care of me — she did an amazing job, and I sincerely thank her. That said, I would like to mention a few small nuances. I am sharing this not out of criticism, but because I genuinely want this place to thrive and hope my notes might be helpful. First, during the body scrub, I was not sure whether the glove used was disposable. It was not shown to me that it was new or single-use. I believe that for hygiene and customer comfort, such items should always be clearly disposable. Second, after the massage I sat on the hot stone table, which was my mistake. I immediately apologized, as I genuinely did not know it was not allowed. However, one of the staff members spoke to me quite harshly, which felt uncomfortable. I later also apologized to the administrator, but again received a rather rude remark. I understand rules are important, but the tone of communication matters a lot for guests. Lastly, when I was leaving, I went to return the key at the front desk, but no one was there. I waited, then asked a man nearby what to do, and he told me to leave the key, which I did. When I was already sitting in my car in the parking lot, the administrator came outside and knocked on my car quite strongly, clearly showing dissatisfaction. Thankfully, I had not driven away yet, but this interaction felt unpleasant. Despite these moments, I still consider this a good place and would recommend it. My overall experience was positive, and I truly appreciated the service itself. I hope this feedback will be taken in a constructive way, as small details like communication and clarity can strongly affect how a guest feels.

One of the best spa experiences I’ve had! I did a body scrub and my skin has never felt more smooth. The facilities were so clean and the staff was so friendly and helpful. I’ll definitely be back!

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Loess Spa. This was my first experience with a Korean spa and body scrub. I booked the #3. Mina applied the perfect pressure for both the scrub and massage. She also checked in with me to make sure I was comfortable. The spa is clean and has great amenities. They even have amazing food and the front desk offered me some kimchi that was sooo good! I’ll definitely be back!

Never been to a Traditional Korean spa? For those of you who don’t know, you will be unclothed the entire time and it’s female only. It can be a vulnerable experience for some so prepare if needed. I highly recommend showing up at least an hour before your appointment so you can fully enjoy the tubs and saunas. Before enjoying the amenities, you will scrub off in the shower. Jump into the hot tub, cold plunge, saunas & hot rooms to prepare your skin. I received the #4 body scrub. I did everything and it was fantastic! I shedded all 28 years of dead skin after my scrub -no this is not a pleasant sugar body scrub, this is a SCRUB that will give you your baby smooth skin back. After the scrub; I received an oil massage, face mask, and peppermint scalp massage. It was an all around fantastic experience. ✨Remember to tip your staff, they work very hard and everyone is so friendly. Thank you everyone at Loess! 🚙 Free parking at the spa. They additionally provide you with a locker, slippers, cover up, big towel, small towel.
