Asian Relaxation Spa (Palm Harbor)
[url]http://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/ads/1264307751.html[/url]
Address: US Hwy 19 North and Klosterman Rd in Connell Square.
Tried this place today (formerly Ocean Spa). For my attendant, drew a 5'8" Korean Tia Ling look-a-like named Paula. She has a beautiful body and is really tall (5'10" in her heels) which I really like. She is a real hottie IMO and a "must see" for those who like tall Asian girls.
Paid .6 entry fee which is their big sales pitch. But while the door fee was .2 below the usual Tampa standard, the expected tips were .2 above the usual Tampa standard so it evens out to standard St. Pete massage rates.
Now that it is "Asian Relaxation Spa" a 'massage' is no longer available. Instead, they offer a light body rub much like Final Touch/Tropical Gardens. A shower is available. The tall curvy sensual Paula worked her magic. She is intelligent and an excellent conversationalist. I left very relaxed and fully satisfied.
For those who haven't been, the location is in a shopping center and is discrete. Rooms are a little small (much like Final Touch/Tropical Gardens). In fact, I'd describe the overall experience more like FT/TG than like a traditional AMP. As a fan of both Final Touch/Tropical Gardens and the Pinellas AMPS, Asian Relaxation Spa is a winning combination. RECOMMENDED
Q Spa - Drove in parking lot and then drove out
[QUOTE=Illegal]Has anyone had experience at Q Spa on Route 19 south of NPR?[/QUOTE]
Not a good location, next to a noisy high profile Bingo Hall and a bar. It is VERY CONSPICUOUS to get to and I don't like the added attention. There may be a way to park behind the shopping center - I didn't check - having 3 dozen old ladies eying me in the parking lot was enough for me.
Why not drive down the street a half mile and see someone who looks just like [url]http://www.tialing.com/v2/[/url] ? That's what I did.
Asian Relaxation (formerly Ocean) Spa
[QUOTE=Sawsy]If you do want to go there, you CAN park behind the plaza, and there is a walk through between Q Spa and the food shop next door, so you can be very discrete. Even more so than the place down the street.
I've personally had varied success with quality of product at both places. Pop in, have a look, if you don't like what you see then beg off. Works for me at least. But sometimes you're stuck with the luck of the draw, so to speak. Glad to hear that they have some quality again at the former Ocean Spa. I'd previously found the mamasan there a bit pushy. Is she still in the picture?[/QUOTE]
Not sure. I didn't see the mamasan. Paula answered the door and went right to work on relieving my aching muscle. Oh yeah, I forgot they don't do the massage thing there anymore - it's only relaxation of tension - but anyway when I left I was totally stress free having got the relief I needed.
Thanks for the tip about Q Spa. When I drove in there were dozens of old ladies eyeing me as the windows are open at the large Bingo facility next door.
I didn't feel like I wanted to make the "walk for shame" in front of this large crowd so the back door option is a good one. I will stop there and give it a shot. How do prices compare with Asian Relaxation? Is door fee 60 or 80 like most St Pete Spas? (BTW Body Temple on 49th street in St Pete is only $70 door fee which is a good value) Is Q Spa an AMP or a relaxation center?
Thanks for the info
Q Spa - An updated definitive review
[QUOTE=Sawsy]It was an AMP, haven't been in for a while. You can search on my name for my review my initial review from some time ago. Door was standard AMP pricing, although I've always wanted to try and negotiate the door fee some time. I bet I could get it down to 1 hour for half hour price if they're slow. Tips are similar but of course all is fairly negotiable there.
To drive in back, just stay to the right of that little road north of the strip center, then turn in behind the building. There are probably 20-30 spaces back there if memory serves. Also, I tend to make my trips during the day and I feel the old Ocean Spa was less discrete in that instance. A lot of the people working at other nearby business would be out having a smoke and watching folks come and go. Night might be a bit different.[/QUOTE]
Based on Sawsy's information and my track record with him (he's the guy who introduced me to OK Spa) I decided to TOFTT and update the clearly mixed review situation with Q Spa. Is this place a winner like Asian Relaxation 4 blocks down 19? or is it a loser like Miyako Spa 3 miles up the road in New Port Richey? That is what I was about to find out.
Parking: Sawsy's directions to the discrete parking lot behind the shopping center worked lke a charm. Not sure I'd want to park there at night unless the lights are bright, as it could be a mugging waiting to happen, but the day time parking was fine and discrete. The location allows entry to Q Spa without having to make the walk of shame past the 250 old ladies playing bingo and looking out the curtain less window at you. So far so good.
Facility: Entered and the rooms are big, but the place is old and run down. I prefer a nice clean facility like Body Temple, OK Spa or Spring Spa. Drop it down a few notches due to the run down facility which did not appear particularly clean. (though in fairness it was not so bad that I would declare it a human health bio hazard like Osaka Spa on Hillsborough).
Attendant: Thankfully I didn't draw a troll like Sawsy did in his older, but classic review of Q Spa. My attendant was an older 50+ year old woman named Pepsi. She was looked alright for her age, was pleasant enough and has some nice looking 34 D bolt ons. They are the hard kind that were popular in the late 80's/early to mid 90's (good looking, but rock hard and not natural feeling). They definitely were not the softer more natural ones most of the younger K girls come with today. Pepsi looked vaguely familiar from somewhere (Aloha 5th Avenue? Magic Spa?, Gold Spa?) but claimed to be new in town. When asked "where are you from?" she replied "all over". If I had to describe her in two words, it would be "all business"
Massage: Q Spa is a licensed AMP and supposedly offers massages. However, Pepsi was in a hurry to get the massage over (no customers were waiting so that was NOT an issue) and the massage was not very good. It really felt more like a body rub that Asian Relaxation Spa offered. In other words, if you are looking for a good massage, you need to look elsewhere. You will not find it here.
Price: At the flip, I could see that Pepsi was going to be a tougher price haggler than William Shatner the Priceline Negotiator. Not willing to engage in a day long protracted bargaining session, I just opted for the .6 happy ending. Later, I would understand how that term "Happy Ending" came about and what it truly means as I finally did have a happy ending.
After the flip, Pepsi began using a massage technique that is perhaps best studied in it's full painfully excruciating detail in the following instructional film. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQbyMs2rgkY&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2Fvideosearch%3Fq%3Dmilking%2520machine%26sourceid%3Dnavclient-ff%26rlz%3D1B3GGGL_enUS299US299%26um%3D1%26ie%3DUTF-8%26sa%3DN%26hl%3Den%26&feature=player_embedded[/url]
I repeatedly asked her to slow down and to be more gentle with the twigs and berries, but she persisted with her rough jack hammering technique. Painful to say the least. Constantly hearing "You done yet?", "You done yet?" every 10 seconds did not help the situation come to conclusion.
Finally I could see that for the first time in a long time, I was going to have to go to the bullpen for some relief. I asked Pepsi to stop and take her hand off the game balls. I waived in the right hander, Molly Fivefingers, who came in, worked out of the jam and got the batter to pop up for the save. That was the happy ending, I was happy it ended and I was happy to leave.
Bottom line: I think I could have done better by taking my money to the Bingo parlor next door and trying to pick up up one of the many horny middle age ladies who go there. Unless you are a racer on a 40 second pit stop or have always wondered what it would be like to be hooked up to a dairy milking machine, Q Spa a/k/a Quick Spa is NOT RECOMMENDED
Same story, different day, different KMP.
[QUOTE=Aesder]
Went 2 weeks ago saw a girl, allowed roaming below the waist.
HE but nothing else is on the menu.
I try, short of begging a little she had me so ready.
[/QUOTE]
There's at least a few, on the right coast, cute enough, slim enough, though not too fit, that I like to get them going cause it gets me much more interested.
Same story, with recession, most days she sits from 10AM to 10PM and gets only 3 customers, so 3 hours work and 9 hours sitting doing nothing but watching life pass by.
Beg her, oh yeah. I beg for just one hour let's go around the corner to my house for a FS session Hey, all she does is sit there doing absolutely nothing for 9 hours every day, come on why not?
Here's why. No matter what they say, or what you think, THEY ARE SLAVES.
Her husband is in Korea. "Big Boss" ALWAYS drops her off AND picks her up 6 days a week at the KMP. NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE HER APARTMENT BEFORE OR AFTER WORK, OR ON HER DAY OFF.
Basically, she is either in the apartment or the KMP, and NEVER ALLOWED TO BE ANYWHERE ELSE 24/7/365.
The two here that I like have stayed a while, but its 100% slave trafficking when you consider all the ones that are "moved" around from city to city every month or so.
