Charming Spa (as known on BP).
As an out-of-towner spending just a week in Houston, I decided to try this place first (based on reviews in this thread):
[URL]http://houston.backpage.com/TherapeuticMassage/charming-spa-100-real-every-man-s-fantasy/43762112[/URL]
I actually made two visits here during my one week and I saw [B]Cindy[/B] the first time, and [B]Cici[/B] the next.
[U]First some observations about the place[/U]: Located in Century Plaza Shopping Center (strip mall) at the south east corner of Beltway 8 and Imperial Valley Drive, they advertise in BP as "[U]Charming Spa[/U]" with one phone number, as shown in the ad, meanwhile, the roadside signage at Century Plaza Shopping Center reads "[U]Intimate Fantasies[/U]" with a different phone number plastered on the store front window, and, lastly, you can find them on Google Maps as "[U]Nana Spa[/U]" at the same address shown in the BP ad. Not that any of this MEANS anything, but if it helps guys unfamiliar with the area FIND the place, so much the better. Of note is that Google Maps "Street View" lets you actually do a virtual drive through the parking lot and RIGHT IN FRONT of the store within about 20 feet of the door (and you can see that phone number that's still there. . . So, not an old picture in Google Maps).
On my first visit, with [B]Cindy[/B], we went through the normal lame massage and a bit of teasing, with which I overtly participated in liberal 'roaming' (up the skirt and between the legs), which offered Cindy the requisite comfort to say to me "You want to fu<k me?" Having paid the 60 House Fee upon entry, I responded to this offer by saying exactly this: "I brought 100 for [U]everything[/U]". I knew this was lower than she wants to get, but using this phrasing sets MY price expectations while also not implying that I have ANY room to go higher. She responded by saying she wanted 140 and was resolute in NOT budging an inch lower. The 200 total may be higher than local custom, but it's well within range of what I'm used to in my home market of Central Florida (Tampa-Orlando), so I elected not to press the matter too hard for fear of pissing her off and, as noted, I only get so much time in town and don't want any visits to be duds. I know she has a reduced rate for reduced services (HE or CBJ), but I'm most usually always a FS client anyway, so I didn't even inquire further about the rate structure.
Cindy is what I would guess is in her late 30's, an ok figure (not fat), and pleasant enough. She's not going to win any beauty pageants, but she'll do much better than last place. Service was sort of quick and a bit mechanical for my tastes, but it hit all the highlights. She seems to put in zero attempt at any type of pubic grooming, so there's the mouthful of floss you get if you go there (I did). The rotation went something like this: Quick hand work to build firmness, QUICK application of the 'Party Hat' and even quicker CBJ for not very long. I then asked for 69 and that also only lasted a short time before she spun around to mount in CG. This is a position I struggle with (I can't move like I want to), so we flipped around to mish for the finish. Overall, got the job done in reliable fashion, but was hardly anything to rave about.
A few days LATER I returned and saw [B]Cici[/B]. She is a notch or two lower on the Attractiveness Scale than Cindy, and probably in her early to mid 30's, but Cici has the most fabulous naturally full, firm, plump, delectible tits I've seen in a while. Otherwise, her hips are a bit too narrow-square and her appearance in the face is more plain and average (little to no makeup), but I could tell her legs and general body strength is formidable (does a fabulous Asian Cow Girl with tons of stamina in her legs). I applied the same negotiation approach with her and, to my surprise, when I said "I brought 100 for [U]everything[/U]", she only said "Awww, is that all? No more?" and she would have willingly TAKEN the mere 100, but then I fumbled on the play and, when drawing out the five crisp 20's from my pocket, one of those "spare" quasi-hidden folded 20's slipped out and to the floor. So, I couldn't very well pretend I didn't HAVE that, and I ended up going 120 on the tip. Still, it was less than Cindy demanded. Cici proved to be a real trooper and, in the face of "Junior's" reluctance to get across the threshhold (I had just come from another visit elsewhere the day before, and I was pretty spent for my old guy age), she just would NOT quit until there was the eruption she was looking for. I will definitely give her credit for that effort.
Overall, I would recommend this place and I will likely return whenever I get back to Houston. Of course, that's partly because I've only BEEN to two places in town, so when the next better place gets a good solid review on this thread. . . I'll probably be there instead!
Babylon on Greens Road by I-45
While visiting for just a week in Houston, I opted for a couple of visits to Babylon Spa, in a strip mall at the northeast corner of I-45 on Greens Road (behind the Capital One Bank building). This selection was also based on reviews in this thread. I am given to understand the place has either *just* recently opened, or has recently opened under this new name with new management. In either case, I didn't feel comfortable trying to fib about having been there before when asked that very common question on the way down the hall to the room. I just told Mamasan I was visiting from out of town and USUALLY go to another place on Beltway 8 (Charming Spa) when in town, but I had heard "good things" about this place! That response didn't seem to matter one way or the other, as my approach is always to demonstrate my intentions by way of unmistakable "roaming" during the massage. THAT seemed to work just fine.
I actually made my TWO visits here in between my other two visits to Charming Spa a few blocks south. On my first visit to Babylon, I saw (another) [B]Cindy[/B] (NOT the same 'Cindy' that's at Charming), and I saw [B]Tina[/B] on the second visit.
[U]First some observations about the place[/U]: Located in a fairly active strip mall with a 24 hour I-HOP at the far end of the parking area, and an Exxon station (open until 10 pm) closer in front, it's also RIGHT next to a religious center of some kind. With the daylight waning ever earlier in the evening, after-dark visits are probably not all that concerning, with the fairly busy area and the EXTREMELY well-lit parking lot. I was there one evening arriving before dark, but leaving after dark, and I saw no signs of worry as I went to my car, and the parking lot lights illuminate the whole area almost like daylight.
The House Fee is 60 for an hour and, again, I didn't even inquire about a rate schedule for lesser service levels than FS, but I'm sure whatever that pricing is will be pretty uniform and "set" by management (not the individual girl). As previously reported, both Cindy and Tina confidently quoted a well-established rate of 100 for FS, almost with a tone as though it were printed on the wall (although it's NOT). Both girls started out with a massage attempt (adequate but not particularly skilled), during which I conducted my "roaming" exercise to demonstrate intent. I would also say that both girls were a notch lower on the "looks" scale than the two girls I saw at Charming, but not old or ugly by any means. I don't know if it's a "Houston-Thing" or what, but both of these girls also made no attempt at pubic grooming whatsoever, sporting full-blown Bush in both cases (similar to the girls I saw at Charming). In my home market, it's much more common to find totally shaved, or at least very closely cropped, pubes, particularly at some of the higher-end AMPs I like to visit (where the rates are higher and the girls are drop-dead-gorgeous-super-hotties in their 20's with long legs and phenomenal racks).
On my first visit, with [B]Cindy[/B], after about 20 minutes of massage and a bit of teasing, we got to the flip and she was somewhat shy about discussing what we could do. I eventually got across my preference for FS, which included some feeble CBJ but no willingness to partake of 69 or DATY. The move was pretty quickly made to position for mish for the finish without a lot of teasing, playing, or "foreplay" of any kind, so that was a bit disappointing, but, frankly, all too common with ALL four of my Houston area visits. Cindy's English was passable, but we still struggled with some language exchange, although her Vietnamese dialect still allowed her to joke around a bit (when I asked what her Vietnamese name is, she said "Mai Phuc", then laughed at her own joke). I would rate Cindy as BETTER than the second girl I saw at Babylon, Tina (next paragraph).
A couple of days later I returned and Mamasan asked me AGAIN if I had been there before. THIS time I said "Yes, just two days ago! Don't you remember me"? She laughed and then said she did while leading me to the room. My hope here was that she would tell the girl, [B]Tina[/B], that I'm a known returning customer, and I could get to the action with less hesitation. Tina's massage was no better than Cindy's, and her English was a bit LESS fluent, but not quite ZERO. Again, there was no 69 or DATY to be had, but when I saw the flourish of her untamed Bush, I didn't really want to try to wade my tongue through that anyway! While it was easier to get past the pricing and negotiation (I just handed her the 100 as soon as we returned from the table shower and said exactly this: "[I]Here, let me pay you now for [u]everything[/u][/I]", which seemed to work very well), the 'action' was still fairly quick and mechanical, whereas I really would like to find a more playful, teasing, and erotic session that lasts a bit longer. Tina just went straight to mish position as soon as she had stroked to build firmness, applied the cover, and bobbed two or three CBJ strokes.
Overall, I would recommend this place just for ease of access and the relatively low price point, and I will likely return whenever I get back to Houston, but I would probably go to Charming FIRST. And I might also be inclined to see if I could find another place on the north side of town in hopes of hitting some talent that's a bit more playful, and satisfying. Mamasan did tell me she had THREE girls working, so I didn't see the third, but I'm wondering if that may have been the one that speaks almost ZERO English, as previously reported by Craven.
Charming Spa gone missing
[QUOTE=CravenMorehead;3607588]First stop was Charming (Beltway 8 & Imperial Valley) which was completely boarded up & closed. I've seen AMPs close but was not expecting anything like this & just hope that my / our reports on the board here have not caused LE to close them down...[/QUOTE]From experience in many other markets (Florida, Michigan, Philly, Dallas, others), and from numerous news reports, where LE is liberally quoted with respect to their methods, there is a [B]WIDE[/B] body of evidence and reporting that, while LE may READ what's written here, none of this information is actually used to instigate, motivate, or initiate any kind of action against any establishment or business model, and, rather, virtually [B][u]ALL[/u][/B] stings, busts, closures, or any other LE activity is purely "[U]Complaint Driven[/U]" (exact words used in multiple reports quoting LE depts in different cities across the country).
So, for any particular AMP to have suffered closure due to LE involvement, there is an extremely high probability that there is a COMPLAINT registered by someone. This could come from either a neighboring business, an evil 'competitor', a disgruntled client, or even an outraged spouse / girlfriend of a client that slipped up and got "caught" by his SO.
In SOME markets, you may turn up a number of bible-thumping self-righteous do-gooder community "activists" that wage a morality war against some AMPs, but if that's the case, those puritan-turds are usually quite vocal attention-seekers for the gratification of their own moralistic egos, because they want EVERYONE to know how good, righteous, and better-than-you, that they are, and they will set up BLOG's, Twitter-accounts, Facebook pages, etc. , and then attempt to attract more of their ilk to join them in their crusade. Since all that's absent here, I'm guessing the "COMPLAINT" is from another, more common, source, or, they might just have decided to close or relocate on their own, through no outside force or pressure at all, other than simple lease expiration and desire to move (but that doesn't seem like a good business decision since these places sort of rely on reputation to get repeat customers).
When checking the BP ads, I note that the most recent ad still out there for Charming Spa is from October 22nd (as of this moment), so it looks like they may have been gone for a while. I hope they turn up somewhere else very soon.
12068 Veteran's Memorial Drive
I paid a visit to this place:

Paid the $40 admission for a 30 min session with Lisa / Lisha, a cute late 20's Asian gal & had a relaxing erotic session with her. After I was done she tells me she's moving to NY. I see a sign on the wall that states sexual activity not allowed in this room. I asked her which rooms they allow the sexual activity in but she didn't understand my Engrish too good. Low security here: when you walk in the door the only thing separating you from the action is a thin curtain, unlike other places which have a window & locked steel door. I'd visit again to see who they find to replace the gal I saw.
