Despite Luke's protest, I went to The Spa. I won't go into details but he has a very good reason. I usually go for the cheapo 350PHP an hour massage but deal grocer offered an hour massage and a Pevonia Botanica Facial for 1250PHP. Not knowing what Pevonia was, I went ahead and made the purchase. It was one of my best financial decisions so far. Yes, I am exaggerating. :P
My massage was average but I can tell that the masseuse is highly trained. She knows what muscle to pull and was gentle too. The problem is, I don't really do gentle. Hehe. The Pevonia Botanica Facial was to die for. My aesthetician,Naiza, was very gentle on my face and I was thoroughly relaxed through out the whole process. It left my skin soft. I don't know why I don't get facial often. This was my second time. My cherry was popped last week at aescultura but that's another blog entry. If I have money to spare, I would definitely go back. I love my pampering experience.
I was The Spa virgin and if you are too, here's what to expect:
1. The males and females room are separated.
2. Sauna, shower, toilet, bathrobe, towel and rubber slippers are provided. Using the sauna and shower is optional. I didn't use the sauna as I was wearing my contact lens.
3. Lockers are provided.
4. The therapists wear masks. Don't worry about cross contamination. You will be asked to sign a good health wager too.
You will be directed along the way so don't worry about anything. :)
