The Spa

While in Manila, I always find time to visit a Spa. But everytime I'm there, I always end up in one of the spa in Megamall's 5th floor.

There's nothing wrong of course. But I noticed that the spa I frequent isn't being properly maintained. So I looked for another spa. From my hotel's directory list, I found one in Podium's 5th floor.

It's called The Spa. Actually I've heard and read about this spa before. I've even seen one somewhere in Libis. But I have never tried it.

So when I found out they have a branch in Podium I made a mental note to visit it.

After a very tiring commute to Carriedo to get hubby's NBI clearance, I decided to drop by The Spa first before going back to the hotel.

I was impressed. It looked like a very expensive spa based from the design of the place. But it was actually affordable. For a one-hour massage in a common room, it's only P850. But I tried the "executive room" for P1,100. It was actually a solo or private room.

I was asked if I wanted a sauna but I declined. So I assumed they have one. I only took a shower. The locker area and the bathroom was nice.

Before proceeding to the masage room, I was brought to a "waiting lounge" where I was served a ginger tea and given a magazine to read.

The massage room itself was also nice and spacious. I have aversion to small rooms. I am a little claustrophobic.

My therapist was good. All in all I had a very pleasant first time experience.

I am definitelty coming back next time I find myself in Ortigas.
