[QUOTE=Seffner Monger]So how does one tell a Korean AMP from one that's Japanese or Chinese or Thai? I just happened to know that Bodysage was Chinese, but is there a way to tell right off the bat? Maybe all we members could combine our knowledge on a list.[/QUOTE]Also, IMHE, Koreans TEND to have a squarer jaw line and a flatter face than other Asian peoples
See my recent report in the st Pete amp forum. Ts was out of order and that in no way limited the menu but this is not the rule. I once made this same rookie mistake at the famous CEO spa in San Francisco and it resulted in no extras. At the very least If you refuse the ts make it clear you just showered. But really why skip the ts?

Hard to do based just on appearance. As for me, I speak a tiny bit of Korean (even though I'm not Asian), so I can recognize the language pretty easily. Usually the girls will talk to each other a little bit, and I'll know immediately if they are speaking Korean. Most of the time I have no idea what they're saying, unfortunately.
In fact, Korean is absolutely the easiest to recognize, even if you don't speak a word of it. Most East Asian languages are tonal with short one- or two-syllable words. Chinese, for instance. These languages are very difficult to tell apart unless you are fluent.
Korean is not like this at all. It has no tones and has long words. In Korean, the verb goes at the end of the sentence instead of in the middle as in English, and you will often here [i]oyo[/i] or [i]mnida[/i] at the end of a sentence, as these are common verb endings, e.g., [i]ilgoyo[/i] / [i]iksumnida[/i], both of which mean "is reading", as in [i]hanguk saramun iksumnida[/i] "The Korean person is reading."

While in town for a bit, I thought I would partake to prepare for the drive back to NM in a few days.
I guess it's MommaSan who answered the door around 7PM - shorter, older, chubbier woman. TS (I never say no to those!) felt a bit rushed and adequate but playful. In the room, she asked how I wanted it. I chose "medium". She was right on the money and did a little walking as well.
It was a long road trip so the massage quality was important to me. She didn't disappoint with that at all. Hit all the pressure points - she did me right. Even those tendons in the upper inner thigh area that always seem to be overlooked by most.
The standard HE was a bit mechanical, loose and a little too much lube and after 5 minutes she had her first "C'mon honey" moment w/out missing a beat. But we got thru it without incident. I'll avoid the specifics but it worked out OK - no problem but definitely not the highlight of the visit.
I'll go back to her if only for the massage - it really clicked for me. She was ready for the .30 that I pulled out of my pocket but I upped it to .40 because of the rub. Door with TS is .80 . I only saw one other girl walking around when I walked in - taller, younger, cuter with long hair - but the parking was full.
Wlaked into O2 around 11PM last nite and gave the .80 door fee at the teller window to an average looking girl who seemed very distracted by something else.
The door opens and up the stairs I go with a cute little thing - Sunny. Into the room and she directs me to the clothes hooks. She comes back and tells me to lay down. "What? No TS???" With a smile she says, "You want TS?" - "Absolutely!"
Decent TS and she certainly made sure the naughty-bits were squeeky clean. On the table, a "medium" was the request and she gave me a good one. She had a few of the good moves that an old Japanese provider back in Vegas used to incorporate during her 3 hour rubs - very nice stuff.
Before the flip, she did a lot of tease and play from behind and there weren't any of those moments of tension where you wonder just how far she thinks you want her to "explore". No exploration - just a nice soft & playful taint-tease.
No hesitation at the end. She just continued on with HE but offered oil, lotion or none. Started with none - she had such nice soft "knowing" hands - and finished with just the right amount of lotion. Free roam but only over the one piece short dress/shorts combo type outfit. A couple of items were at attention and things seemed to be warm & moist. Interesting to be under the clamshells but over the cloth on top.
The pair of Jacks after she & I dressed myself earned me a smiling kiss on the cheek.
Definitely an A+ for Sunny & O2 regarding the standards.
After 4 years in southern NM (after 25 in Vegas), I sure do miss the AMPS/AAMPS and you folks have some good ones here.
The sign on the door said "Close: 2AM" so I didn't think anything of the time being 11PM. Around the back I go to find a "Will return at 10:30" sign on the counter. ?
After a minute or so, a snarly looking, maybe 30ish Asian girl comes to the counter with an expression on her face like I just interrupted her favorite daytime soap.
She then actually put on a disgusted look and said with much hesitation & dispair in her voice: "You want massage?". She looked at me as if I hadn't seen a shower in 2 weeks and just crawled out of a cardboard box under the bridge. Strange way to greet a clean-shaven, decent looking guy with fresh clean clothes, I thought, so...
I replied "I did but not after seeing your attitude. I'll take my money somewhere else. There are too many other places around here that want business." and quickly walked out.
I won't be back to that place... actually I won't be back to any of them, being I'm 1800 miles from home! Haha.
I zipped over to O2 and Cindy greeted me and explained I need to wait 10 minutes. No problem. When she came back to the room I was waiting in, she was gushing with apology along with a big long hug and cheek kisses "I give you good massage, honey - I sorry you wait so long - I take care of you". OK...
Relaxing TS, adequate rub that did get a crack or two out of the lower spine (a plus for me). A bit too much lotion at the end but eager & enthusiastic. At one point, I thought she was about to sing into the mike as part of her apology but no-go. I didn't push the issue or request a tune (it might be a possibility?) but the image of her open lips being only inches away was nice.
Cindy's a bit of a thick gal but not at all in an unattractive way and very cute & smiley. I must've been making too much noise - she made sure my mouth was filled with a nice, little but extended pacifier and my fingers and hands were in no danger of getting cold.
On the way to the TS, I had asked if Sunny was off today. She said she was busy. I explained no problem - I saw her last nite and was just being friendly.
A few minutes after Cindy started her rub, Sunny pops in to say hello and chat a bit. While she was kneeling & stroking my head she explained to Cindy that I told her the reason for my longer than average chin whiskers was that it tickles the girls in those special places, they both laughed and "Ahh"ed their way thru it with big smiles. She left after a few minutes but the thought of a 4-hander was a strong one.
Cindy: Attractive girl, good TS, average to good rub, and a good, reliable HE. .8 door + .4 always seems to put a pair of smiles in the room after a no-rush scenario.
O2 does seem to be a winner for this weary road warrior. I might have to have a "Bye-bye" visit on my way out of town as well! Good quality AMP - you Tampa guys are lucky!

You did right to walk from Yokohama and tell the snarly biatch why you did so. Sounds like you have quite a find in O2. If you plan a 4 hand massage for your finale in Tampa you will go out with a BANG! (BIG BANG theory).
Have fun!

That Yokohama thing pretty much shocked me. I've never had anything like that happen to me before but I've heard worse stories from other mongers in other cities.
I was going to try and catch one more act at O2 tonite but those last minute chores before morning checkout always slow you down.
And if I do skip out too early for another run at it - thanks to all you fellow mongers here in Tampa and your great reports. It made it easy for an out stater to "relax" without any real woes.
Went back to Gold on Westshore. I havn't been there since the bust and the place was great when it was Sun.
Door fee what I'm used to.
Drew BoBo cute girl, older than I'm used to but still hot and tiny.
TS was good, massage was great and the pedicure was good.
On flip she asked what I wanted left. I put $.2 on the stand. She came back and said baby, not enough. Told her that was it and she went to work.
I guess $$ only get you 69 CBJ.
Nice place and nice girl but will not be back until prices get more in line. (Hope they are reading this)
Better places with hotter and younger providers out there for much cheaper.
Not Jokin
Be safe
We here in Tampa just don't know how bad the AMP scene is here. Was up in Warren Ohio over weekend and was floored by the number and quality of places. $40 for the hour with TS and massage. Two cups for $100, BJ and CG with a hot asian who is enthusiastic, gotta love it.
Oh well, we had good for a while.
Also known as Amp Heaven. Glad to read you hooked up with Lisa the Queen of Amp Heaven. Every Amp mongers bucket list should include a visit if possible.
Happy Mongering
Looks like the TPD arrested a couple of ladies at 4644 West Gandy Blvd. I'm not a fan of or partake in the massage or spa activities so I have no idea what this place is.
Just passing on the info.
Gold Spa and J Spa infiltrated.
Ironically, both Gold and J Spas have gotten pretty poor word of mouth here lately. Play safe.

[QUOTE=Sawsy]Ironically, both Gold and J Spas have gotten pretty poor word of mouth here lately. Play safe.[/QUOTE]J Spa was visited but nothing happened. Down for a couple of days but now up and running. Same owner of Eastern Spa in Oldsmar. Oldsmar closer to me. Any feed back on the girls that work there?
Driving on Kennedy and noticed the sign at Nagoya had been changed to "Tampa Spa", I decided to TOFTT.
Not much newsworthy to report.
Cute spinner model, standard rub & tug.
My last few experiences at Nagoya were subpar, so all-in-all I'd have to say a net gain with new management. But, still not the magic oasis.......
For those of you that need a good therapeutic massage once in a while, this place is for you.
No on-line ads that I could find. But I saw a newspaper ad for a one hour Swedish massage by licensed massage therapist for a total, all inclusive price of $25.00
That is right folks. I just had to go there to find out. At worst, I would be out $25.00, so I made the appointment.
The place is located in Riverview, at 13107 South US Hwy 301. It is called "Essentials Massage and Facials". It seems to be new and I had a hard time finding it, since the ad only mentioned "across the street from Bealls". They should have said next to the Auto Parts Store.
The place has no name outside and not even a house number. Just enter the door between 13105 and 13109. WF?
The massage was awesome. The girl's name was Ingrid, and like most legit massages, draping was a requirement, and my back did not exist between mid thigh and waist, and my front did not exist between mid thigh and neck. Other than that, I could not have had a better massage. If they stay around, I will spend that kind of money a couple times a month.
The phone number is (813) 234-9484 Have fun guys.
I posted a review several days ago in the Hudson/Pasco thread. The fact this place was so bad that I found the need to cross post a link here says it all. [url]http://www.usasexguide.info/forum/showpost.php?p=1001496&postcount=588[/url]
The .6 teaser rate is a come on for the big upsell and exceptionally poor service. Save your money and drive a little further to Largo for a decent place like Aloha or BT or PT. You will save money and actually get decent service.

This is information received by back channel but I believe it to be reliable. A fellow monger tried Green Spa and experienced the big upsell and very poor service. He said Green Spa is aptly named as they really want to see Green from their customers. Unfortunately he entered Green Spa and left with Blue balls and is now seeing Red. He believes Green Spa is likely owned by same owners as Asian Relaxation Spa the big rip off/bad service AMP in Tarpon Springs. Can anyone of you mongers who knows how to look up such things confirm? I do note the ads for Asian Relaxation Spa in Tarpon Springs and for Green Spa in Tampa consistently appear next to each other ever day on Craigslist Adult sections. Learning of his experience is enough for me to suggest NOT RECOMMENDED - AVOID!!!

CB et al,
A quick check on [url=sunbiz.org/search.html]Sunbiz[/url] shows that the businesses were registered in 2009, by two different agents; one in Jacksonville, FL and the other in Seminole, FL.
Despite the fact that both agents have different addresses, the principal location of both spas are within Tampa/Clearwater.

- relocated report to proper forum -
I had been to Magic about a month ago and had a good 1 hr experience with steam, shower, back rub and BBBJCIM (probable risky) for 1.8 with tipping. Had free time before late flight (I have a weekly gig in Tampa by Westshore) and its walking distance from hotel, so headed over.
Paid for 1/2 hr. Asked to see girl and told, dont worry nice girl. Took risk, but she was cute, petite 22 y.o. Thorough shower, back to room, back massage with towel, then without and some soft strokes in key places, then flip.
Of course, all along questions, (here before?, when? with who? where you from? why you here? how long here? have I seen u b4?) But she kept asking if I remember name of girl from before and if I had seen her before, even in Cali where she moved from, she asked.
I complimented her, ran my hands up her thigh some, she gave me a little kiss, and I asked if I could get more than just what was happening. I offered .4 for "something simple" which is what was looking for and she just smiled. Offered .6 to close the deal and smiled. Actually all I had, but offered up to 120 for with credit card, but no replies. Lots of rubbing, teasing, smiling, but another question about the previous visit.
Then I finally asked if this was just going to be a massage or if we could finish and she just smiled, said just massage, asked if I wanted bottle of water when time ran out and that was it.
I was livid. Made plans, got cash, chose a known place and was left hanging. Not rude or anything, just left, no tip and walked back completely pissed. I guess she thought I was a cop or too old (I'm a young mid 40s, but she mentioned that I was old like papa, but she likes papas and grandpas.
Anyway. Just so mad. Wasted my time and my nut. Was I the problem or have they changed since a month earlier. BTW, not my first time at an AMP (probably 10th), so I know the drills and i do some homework b4.
Share with me Tampa brothers.

You ruined it initially by coming off cheap. She apparently was royally insulted by your initial offer and decided that she was worth a lot more money than you were initially willing to pay so she decided to "train you" and "teach you a lesson" so you paid a nice tuition. Did you stay the entire time and/or leave a big tip after being insulted by her or did you reclaim some of your dignity and walk?
These girls think they are the gift to all the men of the earth. Was she Korean? or was she Chinese or Japanese? I am betting she was one of the latter. You paid your tuition, you learned your lesson now, move in with your life. Next time try an American girl at FT/TG in St Pete (RTFF there for details) and you won't be disappointed. If you ever find yourself in an other situation like you were in, get up, get dressed, cut your losses, save a little of your dignity and walk and be sure you tell the mamasan why you are leaving - it will make your girl lose face with the other girls and with the mamasan. Did this girl have a name or was she so forgettable you didn't bother? Everyone else - boycott Magic and AVOID!!! When you send them a message through your wallets that is the only way the service will improve!

Offering 40 for HE is ballpark. I might have countered with 50 if things looked good, but no soft strokes is going down hill.
You did the right thing even for NY/NJ metro where I have most of my fun.

[/QUOTE]I think it's something in the female human genome, they think because they were born with a pussy instead of a dick that the male owes them something.
This female attitude is especially bad in Americanized women, they see $$ as the only measure of a man's worth. I'm pretty sick of it after 40 years.
Once, a few years ago, I was in an AMP where the girl got completely naked, layed on top of me, then wouldn't put out after trying to upsell me. I got up, got dressed, wouldn't let her help and threw the money in her face. As I left, I told the girl at the desk I would never be back.
I heard a rumor things got much better there . . . it was PT in Largo . . . your welcome ;)
There are some interesting strip club and street meat options in Tampa and as you can see in the threads a number of other posters are expert guides.
For MP action, Tampa shops are well known for the big upsell and for the non-delivery of service that Mumbles already experienced. I suggest you go to the St Pete boards and RTFF for the past couple of years focusing on one of the following reputable places
St Pete/Largo AMPs -
Aloha Spa - Sunshine is the AMP Queen (when she is in town)
Pine Tree Spa (PT) - Sophia has a great reputation if she is in town, need to fill out a membership card so 1st visit will not be very productive
Body Temple (BT) - very clean and relaxing - Jenny, June, Tina all are good
OK Spa - only when Tammy is not "going through the motions"
Spring Spa - only if Yung is there
St Pete Aromatherapy - A lot of fun and a great value
Final Touch (FT) and Tropical Gardens (TG) check website, pictures shcedule and reviews on USASG to find a girl you will like - note not a massage parlor, but is very fun!!! [url]http://www.finaltouch-tropicalgardens.com[/url]
73rd Aromatherapy (note: mixed reviews - some have reported success here and others not - also they are known to video tape clients -go at your own risk)
If I've missed any other worthwhile places for our visitors to consider, others please chime in here

I tried that place out probably over 6-7 months ago.
Went in late one night. I think the name of my attendant was Bebe? Probably mid-30s attractive from what I remember. At first she seemed pretty flirty but things kinda changed pretty quick during the TS. Same ole questions where you from, what you etc. She seemed nervous defiantly suspicious. When she put the towel over JR on the flip in the TS and said you wash I had a feeling things wouldn't get better. During the massage she kept me covered the entire time with a sheet. Not just the glutes either. That sheet went from my shoulders to my feet LOL. She did the entire massage through the sheet. Massage wasn't bad but certainly what I was looking for. As far as anything else she didn't offer I didn't ask. Having read through some reviews on this place prior to visiting I was defiantly surprised. One factor that could of played was my inexperience. I'm not claiming to be an AMP veteran or guru now, but I have alot more sessions under my belt now than I did then. I was probably more nervous than her and was giving off the wrong vibes.
I dont remember a Bebe at PT, but there definitely used to be a Bebe over at Aloha. Your description definitely fits the one of Bebe at Aloha, or maybe her name wasn't Bebe?
[QUOTE=John Certero]I tried that place out probably over 6-7 months ago.
Went in late one night. I think the name of my attendant was Bebe? Probably mid-30s attractive from what I remember. At first she seemed pretty flirty but things kinda changed pretty quick during the TS. Same ole questions where you from, what you etc. She seemed nervous defiantly suspicious. When she put the towel over JR on the flip in the TS and said you wash I had a feeling things wouldn't get better. During the massage she kept me covered the entire time with a sheet. Not just the glutes either. That sheet went from my shoulders to my feet LOL. She did the entire massage through the sheet. Massage wasn't bad but certainly what I was looking for.

[QUOTE=Jonnyspec]I totally agree avoid this place it is a rip-off.[/QUOTE]I am not sure where these people are getting their info from but Asian relaxation Spa is located in Palm Harbor, and gives very good top notch service, and is highly recomended.

Let's see
* the prices were excessive (requested .8 for a HE)
* the attendant was constantly upselling and negotiating for more money
* the service absolutely sucked, and
* the entire experience was far from relaxation.
Perhaps Donald Trump might enjoy the constant process of haggling and negotiating during the entire session. I did not.
ps - thanks for calling me and another poster here out. I see you have a total of 2 posts here -both touting Asian Relaxation Spa. Are you the owner? If so, you might want to make some changes.

There was a Bebe at Aloha, but it was many, like three, years ago. There was a Bebe at Four Seasons with gigantic bolt ons (some of you seniors might remember her). No Bebe I know of lately, and none at PT
I have to agree with Clinton Bush on this one. When this place was formerly known as Ocean Spa, extras could be had. I know this from my own visits. New name, maybe even a new owner, and EVERY REPORT since then has been negative with an advisory to avoid. NOTHING extra was on the menu.

Back when it was Ocean Spa, it was very good and extras were easily available at standard St Pete tipping scale and the girls on staff were pretty hot. Since the new owners have taken over and renamed it Asian Relaxation Spa, both the service level and the quality of the girls has declined dramatically.
