About
Cold Plunge & Sauna
Hot Tropics provides private sauna suites for heat therapy and relaxation, with each room featuring a dedicated in-room sauna. The spa's primary offering is its private suites, which spa-goers specifically seek out for a personalized heat experience. Guests appreciate the private sauna rooms as a core feature of their visit, often pairing the sauna session with the in-suite hot tub for a relaxing combination. The suites are designed with art deco walls and include full-size beds, showers, and radios. Some rooms feature skylights that open to let in cool night air, which guests find refreshing. The reviews do not mention a cold plunge or specific contrast therapy offerings.
Atmosphere
The spa is described as super chill, clean, and relaxing. The private rooms offer a tranquil environment for a date night or solo relaxation, with dimmable lights contributing to the calming vibe. The hallways and rooms are noted as being impressively clean. The surrounding area is quiet and well-lit, though some guests note it seems abandoned at night.
Pricing
The spa operates on a walk-in basis with a rate of $20 per hour for a private suite. Some guests provide mixed feedback on this pricing structure, with one noting that for a longer session, the cost can feel high compared to other options.
Staff

Specific team members like Paula and Tammy are highlighted for providing great service, being helpful, and making regular guests feel recognized and welcomed. The front desk staff is noted for making visitors feel comfortable upon arrival and departure.
Additional Amenities
The private suites are the main amenity, each containing a jacuzzi (hot tub), a full-size bed, a shower, and a radio. The availability of skylights in some rooms is a appreciated feature. The spa's late operating hours, being open until 1am daily with last walk-ins at midnight, is a significant draw for guests.
