Cham Riverside: Onsen - Jjimjilbang - Spa

While in the area on the advice of a YouTube traveler thought I'd give it a shot. Went there 2 days in a row. The first day I did the Onsen Bath herbal soak and all the salt sauna, steam room, cool and hot tubs and ice room. The attendant was a bit gruff but we managed to communicate, I think. She sort of did an exfoliation treatment on me with a glove. I barely fit in the tub, I'm only 5'8. Had a lovely 90 minute massage afterward. Then I enjoyed their large buffet and relaxed on property. They have the most beautiful flowers, plants and trees. I spent a bit of time enjoying them. There's a beautiful Koi pond as well. The second day I brought my husband we did Onsen bath package with 60 minute foot massage. They don't have a couples area so we were separated. He had the worst experience, no one assisted him or gave him anything to wear. Our foot massage we were brought into the same room for. He came in 20 minutes later than I had and yet we finished at the same time? Weird. His massage person was extremely rough and unpleasant. He said she was pushing so hard trying to put the wooden dowell she was massaging him with through his foot. Because of this experience he will never go to another spa with me again. So mixed reviews. Even the Grab driver showed me that the spa had a 2 star rating before he dropped me off the 1st day. Take it as you will, was an interesting experience. Been to spas all over the world and have worked in high end spas. I have mixed feelings. The Onsen bath and steam-tubs were unique. But the treatment with my husband was not stellar.

This place is *amazing*. Recommended by my Vietnamese friend who lives nearby. I went for the deluxe treatment: 4-hands with soak tub and steam room. Didn’t know it but also came with a full facial - oils, face massage, brushed-on mask, etc. Entirely soothing. First, after the soak in the herbal concoction, a woman uses loofa gloves to rub your skin - not too harsh, though. Then she leaves and the masseuses come in. It’s an important detail because I expected to tip the masseuses but forgot about the loofa person and was scrambling a bit. After that, there’s a large (free) buffet. I was there for hours. 😂

We recently visited this massage spa and was thoroughly impressed. The therapists effectively relieved our neck and leg pain, providing much-needed relaxation. The atmosphere was soothing, and the service was top-notch. As a bonus, they included a voucher for a dinner buffet, which was a delightful extra. Minus one star because of the compulsory tip of 500k for foreign guests, which was not included in the price list

- facility is pair with their service. But the technical people are good. I am happy with them. - please do ask the receptionist detail before make decisions. They might have vary price which is depend on your choice or you are regular client or not…

We had an excellent visit to Cham Spa & Massage. Great service from the staff, fantastic spa experience with Red Dao soak and multiple saunas, and the massage was amazing. To top it off we had lunch included in the package, which was fresh and good quality. We will definitely visit again when next in Vietnam - thank you Cham team for exceeding our expectations ! Highly recommended.
