[QUOTE=Tomke;1816084]Got about the same when I visited last week. I saw Suki at the front desk but drew a more heavy set woman. Table shower was okay, and the massage was decent. Ending was just okay. RS has def dropped off a bit from what it once was. I asked when Candy would be returning and was told it could be three months. Ugh. Well, there is always Z E N and others out there.[/QUOTE]I was told last week that Candy had been fired.
[QUOTE=Ralphy3456;1816625]I was told last week that Candy had been fired.[/QUOTE]That place has really gone down hill. For a while there it seemed like the go-to place for that area. It might still be given the other options but I will not be so keen to go back, not until I've read some improved reviews. I did my bit, I went along and gave them a shot. Based on that I'm not going back. When I was there I did see two other girls, neither of whom I recognized. Most of the doors were shut so I think they were busy. Neither of the two girls that I saw made me think about going back again. Such a shame.
Has anyone been back to the poorly reviewed Paradise Day Spa? If RS has gone this far downhill it makes me shudder to think what is going on there.
Don't forget ST. It's still a great choice. There is also T C M in Tewksbury and Goldfish in Billerica,
All relatively near RS.

I just called RS asking for BeBe and was told she no longer works there. That was no surprize to me. What was a surprize was the fact the woman told me RS has closed and they now only have one location, Royal Paradise. I will miss RS.

I have heard that the other spa in that area Z had its landlord threatened so the office condo is for sale and Z is closing.
That's how they do it, they have no case, so they threaten the landlords, make insurance violations, and intimidate the employees.

It was already a done deal. Interestingly, the cops showed up because the condo owner, a masseur, was running an ad which made it look like he was selling liquor. The cops actually showed up with someone from the ABC! They questioned Jenna, but it wasn't about what she does. They were checking to see if she was being trafficked. Jenna's business is licensed. She's licensed. She knows what she's doing. They were satisfied. She will be reopening in a new location this fall after she takes some time off.
For the record, I have no interest in her business. I'm just friendly with her.

Jenna told me that a big group of various state folks came and asked questions.
I did not know that Brian was the owner.
Jenna's massage is top shelf LMT quality and Ill DEFINATELY want to visit her new place when she gets back from bacation.
Didn't the sign on the building say "and cafe" at the end? I figured she made sandwiches and soup, no?

Just to clarify: Jenna has her own business and rented from Brian who owns the office condo. She has no other affiliation with Brain. The condo is being sold and Jenna will leave as a result. You are correct that she will open again somewhere in a few months most likely. She is wonderful and it is for the best in the long run that she end up somewhere else with a different landlord.

I hope she gets a place nearby when she comes back.
Chelmsford has taken a turn for the worse losing RS and then Z

"Massage Cafe." What a tool!
I do hope she opts for a TS in the new digs.
I agree with you Spectator. Her massage is the best I've had anywhere. No drama; no BS. Top notch provider and a sweetheart, too.
Went to Z yesterday at opening time but another monger beat me to the door. Drove over to RS and the door was totally locked. Called Jenna and got the 11 time slot. Enjoyed the full hour. I'll be sure to find her when the new place opens. She's the best.

I was a regular of Royal Spa and loved Bebe. Since they are closed I decided to try Royal Paradise despite reading about the bad experiences on here. I called the number and spoke to the same woman I spoke to many times at R. S. I think her name is Ledi. I asked her to take care of me at Royal and made an appointment. The set up is different. They give you a robe (with a pocket) and shorts. You're welcome to use the steam and sauna either before or after your massage.
I drew May, a middle age Korean woman from China. Her english was almonst better than mine. (I'm not very articulate). I asked her for a very soft teasing massage. She complied like a champ bringing me to the brink several times on my stomach. Twenty minutes into the hour massage she had me flip and brought me to a rousing completion. Since there was time I asked her for a second time at the plate and off we went again. Upon that completion there was still ten minutes left and she gave me a great shoulder massage.
She never asked for a tip. When I tipped her she smiled and thanked me never counting it.
I got dressed and paid eighty dollars for the hour on my way out the door. By the way, I wish the girl working the front desk gave massages as she was hot, hot, hot. She said she was not good at massage. I told her the way she looks it didn't matter. She is the same girl that used to work weekends at Royal Spa.
I'm sorry my predecessors left Royal Paradise unhappy. I on the other hand did not.
