Massage Parlor Reports

[QUOTE=Andrew Cz]First, some housekeeping:

• Amazon Massage is now Avalon Massage, same address and phone number as old Amazon: 5389 South Kirkman Road, Orlando, 32819 (above Quizno's), 407-226-7229.

• Avalon, which had the same owners as Amazon, used to be located around the corner on Vineland Road, but that location is now:

• Bambee Massage (might be spelled Bambi), 6645 Vineland Road, #210, Orlando; 407-351-3992.

• Most of the old favorites from Amazon are still at the new Avalon location, and some of the old Avalon girls are there, too.

• I suppose Bambee has new girls (haven't visited yet).

All that being said, I visited Avalon today, and enjoyed their March special -- table shower and one-hour massage for .8.

Therapist was Natalie -- or maybe spelled Nathalie? -- a gorgeous blonde Russian who had great technique and an adventurous imagination. She sent me home relaxed and happy! Will repeat and repeat![/QUOTE]Don't go to Bambee. Been there twice. 100% legit. In both occasions I was greeted by one of the therapists that used to work for Ginza. Perhaps she decided to open her own parlor. In both occasions during the massage, she left the room to open the door and answer the ph. She had no receptionist. She mentioned that another therapist (an American chick) was working with her, but I never saw her. If you go there, ask for the white girl. The Asian one, won't give you the handshake.

In terms of the massage, I must confess it was good. I would give her a 8 or 9 out of 10. She was also decent looking but not a model either.

Cheers

I wish I would have read this earlier. I went to Bambee today. They have a steam room which I took advantage of as I waited. Had Sue as the therapist, which I am sure is the owner/manager. She gave a pretty darned good massage using hot towels, hot stones and lotion. That was absolutely great.

But there are absolutely no extras. Not even close and there never will be. I figured that out when Sue started talking about God. I don't mind a good massage and an occasional theological discussion. Seemed odd though and threw me off my game. She is kind of cute too. I might repeat when I'm looking specifically for a good massage, but if any of you are looking for extras, it ain't happening there.

WOF

[QUOTE=Gentleman 100] 3. Tip well: If she hints next time, tip 80% what you would normally have given her for better service. [/QUOTE]

G100, are you saying that on a $100 massage (just using round numbers to make it easy) one should tip 80%, being $80? Holy shit I hope I'm reading that wrong. Maybe I'm a cheap bastard but here's how I'd do things if you asked me.

* Poor massage with no extras = price of massage only.
* Good massage w/no extras = $10 tip
* Good massage with handshake = $20 tip
* Playful TS, play with the girls, good massage, nice handshake = $30 tip.
* Playful TS, good massage, naked playful girl, good handshake = $40 tip.

To me that seems REALLY generous.

3. Tip well: If she hints next time, tip 80% what you would normally have given her for better service. If no hints, I usually tip 20% and thank her for the massage (you never know, next time might be better).

He did not say tip 80%. You are right, an 80% tip is off the charts.

80% of what you would pay if you got something good, not 80% of the house fee.

Example: something good (extras) = $40. Nothing good (but good massage) = $20 and a hint that maybe more next time if the attitude lightens up.

Your tipping suggestions are right on track with my views.

Be safe.

I won't make this a long post, but over the weekend I took a road trip to St. Pete and visited an aromatherapy spa. Definitely worth the trip.

No BS, just a menu of services and options. The downside is the traffic issues (maybe spring breakers) along the way. It took a good 2 hours to get there.

Read the St. Pete forum for more info (and search for 73rd, FT, or TG).

I know this is not the St. Pete forum, so I am keeping it short. As always, YMMV.

Be safe.

Got it. Thanks for the clarification, and for all the posts.

Be safe.[/QUOTE]I agree with Gent100, regardless of the fact you did get a hour of someones time so $. 2 is not going to hurt your wallet if you just put down $100, if I get a avg massage with a good handshake I go $20-$30. If I get something poor I give $10-$20 and if its somethin well worth it $30-$50.

I noticed the other day that the spa up on 2nd floor at 192 and 535 (Kissimmee) that used to be TOA 2 is now reopened as Spa 2. It also has a longer name on the building and parking lot sign of Bodyworks of Asia. I stopped and called the number, found out they are $90 h, $60 hh. No table shower. I was tempted to try, but then saw a known blonde friend walking on 192 that I could get everything for 60 so decided to forgo the massage. Let me know if anyone try's this new one.

Tried Spa Serenity again, still closed. I decided to try Lotus. Good massage (I've had better) but overall a good experience. For me she was totaly Legit!!! No HE, no tease. The hot oil is nice but I was shut down cold. Not sure what I did but she must have gotten a bad vibe from me. I took her hands to the spot needing attention but she said "I am Therapeutic only". She is easy to talk to and yes the Healthy Holistic Hippy type but I will not return, too bad she has a nice touch.

Went to the new Avalon today, saw Maria, and was sorely disappointed. Very rare for me. Lost time and 80. Nothing on the menu, period. My back hurts more now then when I went in.

Next time back to Golden on OBT, it was everything Gentleman100 said when I saw Nikki.

Headed to Golden tonight after my old asian homeplace phone has been disconnected. I will miss those girls.

Anyway ... Golden was nice and I left pretty happy. I like to get the full menu and this was far from it but the massage was great and I left happy.

Thanks for all the info and stay safe.....

Being in the area, I stopped at the Spa Serenity on OBT recently. I have been such a regular with another AMP, that I thought I would take a chance. I think I will stay in my "rut." There was no table shower available, and Nina (I think that was her name) did an OK job and finished very mechanically with little enthusiasm. I left kind of Happy, :-)

As they saying goes "You don't know what you've got!"

Have visited this place many times its across the street from Anne's on the side street.

Paid 75 for hour.

No ts but regular shower is offered. Coco does a great job on my back, deep gets on table with me and uses all of her tricks to work out kinks. Finishes with deep then to light teasing and whsipers " you want to flip?" Straight to business then after that finishes massage.

Any one with info on [url]http://orlando.backpage.com/BodyRubs/new-sexy-swedish-german-brazilian-girls-24/2741207[/url]

Looks like be part of the euro girls but different contact number. I have not called yet. Sorry if I missed a review I usually RTFF before I ask but did not see any.
Thanks
