Review content:
Just to echo what the previous reviewer wrote, this is not the best time to visit Juvenex. The spa is heavily under reconstruction, and though they haven't dropped the prices at all, if you visit today you'll find that the steam room isn't working, the soaking tubs have been ripped apart (it's not just that they aren't filled with water, the tiles have literally been ripped off, showing the bare concrete underneath), the countertop where they serve water and tea is broken, and some of the shower stalls don't have knobs so you can turn the water on and off. The sauna is still working and the services all seem to be available, but there are a hundred spas where you can sit in a sauna and get a massage. The reason you came to Juvenex was because of the wonderful facility, and that wonderful facility just isn't there now. I don't know when or if this will change, but if it matters to you you should call first before coming.
Also, some previous posters have commented on the lack of privacy, and it's true. During co-ed hours especially you need to be prepared that there will be both men and women there, and with just one shower area and one changing area, all the fancy choreography in the world won't keep one from getting an eyeful of the other. The staff tries to enforce the swimsuits-must-be-worn rule, but who showers with a swimsuit on, and even if you do, standing in the shower area you have a straight view into the bodyscrub tables, where at the very most people cover the necessaries with a tiny handtowel and more commonly it's all hanging out. If you're shy about such things, this is not the spa for you.
There are some good things about Juvenex, including the fact that it's open 24 hours and that if you go as a couple you're allowed to stay together rather than being segregated into separate "Women's" and "Men's" facilities...but until the renovations currently underway are finished, you'll feel like you're trying to relax on a construction site.
Pros: Once was a very nice facility
Cons: Currently it's a wreck
