Hi, first of all, I presume you’re working with iD.
iD has a number of tags you can use by default, but if you want to view “all tags”, you can click on that link below, and add any tag you want (note that tags should be objective, verifiable and informational).
That said, there is some discussion about “spa”. It has multiple meanings (used for spring and wellness center), and because of that, the usage of it is discouraged. See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dspa
If you agree with that proposal, you can already use the tag. You can also make a comment on that page.
Some notes on your current work however:
Don’t capitalise entire words. It’s a general rule to only capitalise the first letter in a word (unless it’s an abbreviation). So use “Aloe Spa” instead of “ALOE SPA”.
Don’t duplicate tags. You name_1 is exactly the same as name, no reason to have it there
Don’t put keywords in the note tag. The note tag is meant to show a message to future mappers (like telling that the job isn’t finished, tags are missing, it might change soon, …). In this case, your note could be something like “Find the correct tags”, since you are wondering how to tag it.
Same with note_1, don’t do that
Then there are some issues you probably didn’t notice, but that do harm the data. You added the spa in a bus route relation. This damages the bus route and can make it useless. And you also made it part of a turn restriction (those are used by routers to know if it’s legal to make a certain turn), again, this damages the turn restriction, making it possibly unusable.
I’m now going to fix some of those things. But you’re welcome to keep adding stuff to the map. Remember, the better the map, the more people that will use it, and the more people that get to their destination easily.
I have problems with things that cling to each other as well.
I’m encouragement from seeing others asking questions like I have and making mistakes like I probably do. Probably only because I don’t know them jet. The first bits I did thinking they are right the way I did them, could all be wrong! I hope not.
Now I will ask my questions in my own very first user diary entrance.

There is however a proposal to tag it without ambiguity: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Spa_resort.
If you agree with that proposal, you can already use the tag. You can also make a comment on that page.
