Just great after a cross Atlantic flight and exactly the same as my first visit back in December. Treated like a prince. And a very happy one at that.
[QUOTE=Xxcessive; 1189664]I had the opportunity to visit this place. I had no expectations. I loved the atmosphere! The house fee is $ and includes steam room, table shower and 1 hour massage.
I arrived for my appointment and was greeted by a cute girl. She provided me with slippers and had me store my shoes in a rack. I was then led to a room and provided with a robe and shorts to change into. There was a closet and lockbox for me to store my clothes and items. When I was ready the same girl led me to the steam room. She was very professional and took care to make sure I didn't see any other clients. There was another girl on the way who smiled and said Hi in the hallway, making sure it was clear around the bend. She took my robe and told me I would be spending 10 minutes in the steam room while handing me a cup of water. She said bye and she closed the door after I got comfortable. After 5 minutes my therapist opened the door and asked if I was ready for a shower or if I wanted to spend more time. I told her I wouldn't mind some more time so she said she would come back. Her English wasn't fluent as the first girl, but I had no problems communicating. She came back after 5 minutes and asked me if I was ready. She led me to the shower room next door. There was a plastic bed in there. She closed the door and told me she would be giving me a shower. She cleaned the bed down with water and asked me to remove my shorts and lay facedown. She cleaned my back with some soapy water and rinsed me down taking care not to leave my head dry. I got a droplet of water in my eye and she was very quick to grab a towel a wipe my eye before I got a chance to rub my eye myself. I was impressed by the attentivness! Soon she asked me to turn over started doing the same on the front. There was some teasing and she washed junior and the twins. She paused to ask me if I felt good. I confirmed as she washed my legs. She told me she was done and to stand up. She completely dried me from head to toe, getting on her knees dry my feet and place them in the dried slippers. My robe magically appeared and she put it back on me without the shorts. We exchanged names and conversation during this. Her name was Sue. She led me back to the original room and disrobed me before asking me to lay face down on the massage table. After getting comfortable she put a towel on my back. She told me she would be right back. Soon she came back and replaced the towel on my back with a warm towel. She asked me if I wanted a medium or hard massage and I said hard to over compensate for light rubbing massages I've had in the past. Sue knows what she is doing. Her hard is therapeutic hard. After realizing this I asked her to do medium. It was a dry massage and very therapeutic. She must be trained. She concentrated on my back and after some time asked if I would like her to apply cream. I said sure. After applying the cream on my back Sue started hunting for tight muscle knots and working at them until she could find no more. She removed the towel completely and thoroughly worked my butt and legs conversing with me occasionally. There was some teasing as she straddled me which was nice but I must admit I was enjoying the massage so much that I wasn't worried about junior. She asked me to flip and I did. She then asked me if I would like oil. I was confused but said sure because I had loved her previous recommendation. She got up to get oil and I noticed her getting some tissue paper. She turned to me and pointed to junior who was asleep and asked for confirmation. I of course agreed and she started working on the HE with a BBHJ. When we were done she cleaned me up with tissue and said she would be right back. She came back with hot towel and cleaned up more. When she took more cream and continued massaging my legs and feet moving up to my chest. When she was done massaging my front she had me sit up and proceeded to do some wrestling moves with me to stretch certain areas causing a barrage of cracks. When she was satisfied that there were no more cracks she told me we were done. She put the robe on me and led me to the closet in the room to get dressed while she got water for me. After dressing and collecting my things while conversing my appreciation with her I tipped her. 4. She was grateful. She walked me to the shoe rack and took the slippers when I was done putting my shoes on. She offered a warm parting hug and cookie on my way out.
DEFINITELY will be back. No upselling or monetary indication at all. Just a focus on the treatment. There are probably additional things I forgot to mention. It was a true pampering spa experience well worth the $ house fee! [/QUOTE]
