This was my first experience with a float spa and it was wonderful. The water was, as expected, VERY salty. This enables you to float. I highly recommend using the head assist (little foam donut to help your head stay afloat) You don't have to use it but I did and it was very comfortable and so relaxing. Be careful with any scrapes or nicks in your skin as the salty water will sting. They provide petroleum jelly to apply to any cuts and Trust me, you want to use this. The suite was spacious and allowed me free floating without touching any of the sides. There is low, spa type music you can have on or off, color changing lights in the pool you can have on or off and stars on the ceiling, also on or off. Customize to your preference.
