Default Spa Reviews

These days going to the spa for some rest and relaxation has been some sort of a hobby and an indulgence at the same time.

Write a review of the spa, taking note of how clean the place is, the kind of service you have availed, the kind of service you have received and most of all the price. At the bottom of your post score them from 1 to 5, 5 being the highest.

Have fun!

Alibyo
2nd level I2, IT Park

Hubby and I went to Holiday for some foot massage last night, because we also wanted to avail of their buy 1 take 1 promo. alas, they already had their last call. So we racked our brains for some ideas and we thought of ALIBYO. this is a newly opened spa located at I2. I think this opened just last month. Off we went to try their services.

We availed of their 2 hour massage. Upon entering the Spa the front desk was all smiles already, Gives a very good first impression. He was also very knowledgeable about the services they offer. He also gave some suggestions on what is good. The spa is also quite different from the other spas, it is well lighted with very old and rustic setting(like you are being transported to the old era). The seats are made out of wood, the table is inlaid with raffia mat. the attendants wear Spanish era type of clothes(filipiniana). airconditioning is just the right temp, not too hot and not to cold. The attendants are also very accommodating, they are all smiles. I did not see any of them loitering the reception area. When we came out after the massage and they saw us, they immediately vacated the reception area.

Before the massage the First thing they do is they wash your feet with ground coffee and water. Upon entering the common room for the massage area, You can smell the incense burning. On a side note, I like the comfort room, it is clean and nice with a little touch of zen. We were ushered to the couple's room, unlike the other couple's room that we've been to, this room has no divisions. It is a room with two beds and its own airconditioning unit. The bed is quite firm and when i placed my head inside the hole of the bed, my nostrils were greeted with the scent of potpourri. a very wonderful smell, light and relaxing not intoxicating. Their kind of massage is quite different from what we have been used to. Good massage for the night which gave me a good night's sleep afterwards. :mrgreen:

After the massage, we were treated to a glass of drink of our choice and some home-baked cookies (the extra service they give when you avail of their services). I had the Alibyo signature drink, which is iced tea with a hint of pandan leaves. My Hubby got the Salabat with honey, hot ginger drink with a hint of kalamansi and honey, Wonderful concoctions they have. We also availed of their 50% off coupon for the next visit. Well, the front desk gave us a choice: 20% discount for the services we have availed for the night or 50% discount on the next visit and we chose the latter. (this is their chrismas special promo, valid until the 31st of the month only).

over all rating 4/5. hubby found his therapist quite slow with his massage but the pressure was consistent though. He had a comparison with the therapist that massaged me.

for the 2 hour massage - P600 per person. just reasonable for a 2 hour pampering.

I was also in Alibyo during the first week since they opened. The pakulo was ok but their massage is not quiete good. I availed of the two hour hilot but it only has little difference from the usual massage I got from Grand Royal Spa. I tried hilot in Manila and it was different, taht is why I availed of the service in Alibyo even if I have to shell out P600 for the service. Nagtabi sad ang mga therapist because I was with my wife at that time. Well the complimentary drink was good.

Massage envy and their website is www.massageenvy.com
Location: US

I have been to a lot of different spa but I never found one that I really like. Most of the Spa that I've been will cost me from $75 to $100 for an hour to an hour 1/2 of service. And aside from that it is very hard to get an appointment in a short notice.

In massage envy, it is membership club and I pay $ 59.99/month and I get a free 1 hour massage every month and if I want 1 1/2 hours, I only pay $ 18.75. If I want a massage for twice a month for an hour each I only pay for 1 hour which is like $ 35.00. It's very economical

It is convenient for me because they have locations in a lot of places and I can get in for a same day appointment or after work.

Refreshments
They have a lot of refreshment in the lobby, it's like different kinds of tea, cold water, hot water, coffee, cookies and candies.

Rooms
The room is very clean and I love the warm massage table, the music is very relaxing, room temperature is pretty good and I love the adjustable mood lights.

The Therapist
They have a very good massage therapist. I usually go for Swedish and Trigger point and so far they are pretty good and knowledgeable about it.

The only bad thing that I notice about the session is that there is always an extra 15 minutes of relaxation. And I want to get my whole hour of massage

Rate: 4/5

and about getting a massage in the US.... I'd rather go to my chiropractor get a real massage 1 whole hour and the good thing is....it's covered by my insurance.....so everything is free.
