| Steamers was recommended to us by an experienced single male we met at another local club. Unfortunately, our visit to Steamers wasn't the best, and we left fairly quickly. I believe this was more due to our personal preferences and what we were looking for rather than any major faults with the club itself.
Positives:
Steamers has a good reputation among many experienced swingers we've met. The club boasts extensive facilities, including a very large hot tub and numerous open play areas.
Negatives:
The club did not offer a tour when we arrived, nor did they provide a refund when we decided to leave after looking around. This is partially on us for not asking, but it would have been helpful. The layout of the club felt cramped in some areas, darker than other clubs we've visited, and a bit of a maze. While exploring, we thought we were alone, only to find another person wandering around, which made it harder to relax.
Conclusion:
Steamers isn't somewhere we're in a rush to return to, but it would be unfair to give them an avoid rating based on our experience. Regulars speak highly of the club, and its facilities are good. Experienced swingers would likely enjoy visiting, but our experience as newbies was not on par with other clubs and might have put us off the lifestyle if it had been our first club visit.
Perhaps having someone to show new visitors around or hosting nights aimed at new couples and those exploring would make the club more inclusive for those at earlier stages of their journey.
