Did a double float and couples massage with the hubs. We were both in our own float chamber. It was the first float experience for both of us.
For starters, I am now a fan of floating. I can see why it might not be great for everyone (I was in the Oasis tank - you are in the dark in a large metal container), but I found it VERY relaxing. The whole natural salt water buoyancy is pretty trippy; I put in the ear plugs provided, used the head float, closed the hatch, and zoned out for an hour. I am very Type A (and we are in the process of buying/selling/moving) so this was perfect for me. Hubs was in one of the tile rooms, which has optional in-float lighting. He turned off the light and fell asleep - 'nough said.
If you are uncomfortable in smaller spaces, you need to tell the folks specifically that you want a tiled chamber, not Oasis.
We also did a couple's hot stone massage, and we were both satisfied. Our masseuses did a lovely job. I don't do a lot of massages, but they use a "dry" oil so I didn't feel greasy afterwards, which was nice.
Now to address some of the complaints I've read. FLO2S is in the basement of a very old building in Little 5 Points. As noted elsewhere, this is not a fancy Buckhead spa. Yes, the ceilings are low. Yes, the photos were taken with photography lights , and probably when they first opened, several years ago. Hubs, who is much more sensitive to smells than I am, did not notice anything musty. I don't know what the space was before, but in a building that old, there are some stains that just don't come out. Also, when there is salt water as a major element of services, you will have corrosion. Go to their FAQ's to read more about how they clean the chambers.
The staff was all very pleasant and helpful, and I would recommend. Check the website and Groupon for specials.
