The sauna is open 24 hours and is owned by the guys who own ABC, Gateway and Hunk (all of which have been reviewed in this blog).

Like those saunas, Alexander has an interesting décor, layout and is extremely clean.

Pay your coin and entry is given to the Locker Rooms. Pretty standard stuff.

The Wet Area

Just off the Locker Room is a sliding door, behind which is a large Wet Area with showers, toilets, a very large tepid water stone Jacuzzi with porn screen and a rain shower (nice touch), dry sauna and a steam room.

The showers have twin jets – one at cock level and one overheard. Both are individually adjustable. Some showers have circular pony walls to allow showering with a buddy.

The dry sauna is pretty standard. The steam room is intense and also has circular partitions for group or buddy action. There’s also a shower in the steam room.

The lighting in the Wet Area is appalling. It consists of fibre optic-type strands of strobe lights that change red, green, blue and white. Massively irritating and violates FuelMix’s cardinal rule – that a dude must be well lit in the shower area in order to be checked out for potential action.

Towel changes are available at no charge.


The Lounge

Follow the corridor out of the Locker Room (past the vertical sun tanning booth). The lounge has a large flat screen TV, magazines in Chinese, 2 free computers and a bar area to eat the complimentary snacks of crackers and bananas. There are also complimentary vending machines for soda pop, tea and coffee.

Seating in the lounge is on a wide Chinese style divan on which 4 people can recline, propped up by cushions. If you can’t get on, forget it. There’s no where else to sit – except the bench in the Locker Room.


Dark Room / Playrooms

Go through the Lounge and pull back the curtains. This is the quasi-maze, darkroom and playrooms all in one. It’s a partitioned space, fairly roomy, enough circulating space and very dark.

There are a large number of clean, good sized private playrooms, individually lit, with mattress pads on the floor. Fortunately, the switches are easy to find and each room has the usual condom /lube/ tissue stuff. Some of these rooms have those idiot fairground mirrors that distort the reflection so be warned. A major turnoff.

There are also a couple of large group rooms with porn TV for the sociable and the exhibitionists, plus a room with a sling.


Comment

This sauna opened a few months ago and is the newest on the scene. The overwhelming impression is that it is underused at present. Part of the problem may be that the clientele are GAMs who are neither muscular nor goodlooking. They come in different ages and sizes but they appear to be in the 20 to 30- something range. Perhaps at the moment, not that many people know of the place or how to get there even though they are advertising in local gay media.

FuelMix is prepared to keep an open mind and assume that since the place is open 24 hours, hotties might come and go at other times. The place has potential even though the vibe was boring.
