Arriving and exploring the spa
Reanne and Ben visit a spa in Guangzhou that advertises an all-day luxury experience with food and relaxation facilities. They compare it with a previous 24-hour spa visit in Chengdu. At check-in they receive pajamas and slippery shoes, then enter gender-separated changing rooms. They learn the swimming pool requires nude bathing. Reanne is uncomfortable with that rule and keeps her swimsuit on under her pajamas.
The facility is large, with seating areas, dark corridors, private rooms, a gaming room, and a smoking room. A robot moves through the spa, and the couple find a bar with cocktails and craft beer that may cost extra, along with a refrigerator of healthy drinks. Rain outside makes a day indoors appealing. They later rest in a quiet room with reclining chairs and blankets. The spa also offers paid options, including massages, VIP rooms starting at 899 yuan, foot massages, and an ear bath. Its cinema room has beds and a selection of films.
Buffets and a long dinner queue
Lunch includes sushi, fresh seafood, roasted goose, clay-pot rice, handmade mousses, and American cheesecake. Ben chooses crab legs, shrimp, crab, and sea snails, while Reanne focuses on pork and sushi. The food is replenished regularly, staff are friendly, and the couple find an unlimited ice-cream bar.
For dinner they scan a QR code near the restaurant entrance to join the queue. They wait about an hour and a half before being seated. The meal includes caviar, Champagne, roasted meats, and lobster. Ben receives a freshly cooked lobster tail, and Reanne tries lobster for the first time; she is pleasantly surprised but not overwhelmed. After a 12-hour booking, they leave for an airport hotel before a flight to another country. Despite a frustrating check-in, they enjoy a day centered more on lounging and eating than on spa treatments.
What is included and what costs extra
The video distinguishes the facilities and meals the couple use from optional services. Their day includes access to common seating, the buffet, a quiet room, and the cinema. The spa also offers massages, foot treatments, ear bathing, and VIP rooms at additional prices; the VIP room is listed as starting at 899 yuan. A bar serves cocktails and craft beer, which may also be extra. Knowing which options are included helps visitors decide how to spend time in a large facility.
The couple’s experience changes over the day. The check-in feels unwelcoming, and the pool rule is a surprise, but the friendly food staff, regularly replenished buffet, nap room, and cinema become highlights. The QR-code queue for dinner requires them to remain attentive to the message and return within five minutes after the table is ready. Their visit lasts 12 hours, with the final meal and lobster forming the last major stop before they head to an airport hotel.
