Koru Village Spa
Reviews
The gym is about 3 years old. All the machines are new, nice treadmills, elliptical trainers & recumbent bikes. Showers & Locker room are top notch. Also has a steam room. There is also a Spa section for massages, haircuts & other stuff.
Cleanest Spa/Gym you'll ever see! Amazing, only ONE woman cleans the entire place herself!
Surprised to find a decent gym this far south in the OBX, decent spa services.
The spa services at Spa Koru are good. The salon services are terrible. I urge you to find another place to get a hair cut, style, wax, and nail service. The massage therapists were professional and cued to the fact that most visitors were new to spa services. The facilities and equipment were very clean, including luxurious bath robes and towels. The towels could have been longer and wider for sitting in the steam room. You're kind of on your own, to make of the experience what you want. I discovered the relaxing garden on my own, for instance. No one is really there to help you make a time of it. This is unfortunate because it could make the service outstanding. Since so many visitors to the area are repeaters, they could certainly increase their business. The salon services are not worth your time or money. They had only one woman who did everything: hair cutting and styling, nails, waxing, etc. In this case, the young woman didn't seem to know what she was doing in any of these specialties. She pulled the wax off quickly and painfully and said, "Whoopsie." She did my nails, but they neither had a dryer nor nail dry accelerator. Also, I'm used to salon spas that create a special area for manipedis, a place to relax. I'm glad I didn't book a manipedi expecting to relax at a spa since that wouldn't have been possible. The pedicure area was in the hustle and bustle of the salon. I schedule a hair cut and beard trim for my husband. Apparently, they don't wash men's hair first and a beard trim means leaving all the shaggy hair past the beard line unshaved.
Just got back from a good workout. Enjoyed the equipment and getting to know the locals. Need to clean the machines but other than that it was a nice facility.
