My issues with spa's in CDO

My experience with Mahumpay made me think about the state of the spa industry in CDO.

If you visit older spas in CDO like Sentara, Touch N Heal, La Cabana and even Nuat Thai, they all look nice and relaxing.

Right now, most spas in CDO looks like ordinary commercial spaces or worst cheap boarding houses with rooms partitioned with cheap curtains, decorated with tacky furniture and smelly beds.  Basta basta nalang mag himo ug spa para maka kwarta.  Can't they hire an architect or interior designer to decorate the space?

Spa's used to ask their clients (after the massage) if they were satisfied by their service.  Now, no one cares if you had a good or bad experience.  I think this is one reason why there are a lot of abusive therapists in CDO.  No one reprimands them or tells them what they are doing is wrong.

And speaking of abusive therapist.  Some of these therapists are just jumping from one spa to the next.  I am amazed with the spa management.  They still hire these abusive therapist despite being fired from their previous job.  Kulang ba gyud ang mga male therapist sa CDO?


What do you think are other issues plaguing the spa industry in CDO?  Post your comments here.

  2. Most of the massage spas that I have been offered me ES or tried showing motive of. I think I am already becoming a massage addict since I always want a massage not because I severely need to have one, but sometimes the urges doesn't stop me until I get one. I don't usually give in to the offer because it's too impractical to pay for that amount of money when you can just jerk off yourself and never break your wallet. Sometimes, what I want is just really 'pagilok-gilok' lang kung sa bisaya pa. Well, I would just like to share some of my experiences with the Massage Spas in CDO.

    The first time I was offered an ES was in Fai Thai Velez Branch, beside Jollibee. Although I just found out recently that there is another branch on that same bldg with the receivng area at the first floor. Anyways, I remember the masseur tried to tease me during the massage because he was including my groin area in the massage. I got a hard-on and was shocked when he touched my dick saying, ''gusto kag ES sir? '' I was overwhelmed and dont know what to say so I said no. I got super curios after experience that I frequently go to other massage spas just to check if they also offer ES. Sometimes I read some blogs like this first to get the idea where I should try the next time.

    The other day I went to that other branch of Fai Thai I mentioned earlier. The masseur that attended me is tall and muscular. I was pissed off though because I was kept waiting. I have waited few mins before a masseur attended me then another 15mins after being half-naked inside the cubicle before he started his massage. The massage went on, I thought at first he would just be the same with most kf the masseur who will tease me and then offer ES later on. But he did not. Maybe because I scolded him for letting me wait a few times. I'm also the discreet type so maybe he thought I was straight. Massage was average, service was bad. Btw, he was holding his phone with his hand while the other hand was doing the massage. How untrained!

  3. The first and the only time that I gave in to ES was in Fai Thai corrales branch. An ordinary-looking masseur was assigned to me but then I picked this good-looking, average built masseur sitting outside their door. Few minutes of the massage, he started reaching my groins. I got a hard-on so he offered me ES. we negotiated but since I don't really like to pay much for an ES, we did not have an agreement. He might have been dismayed so his massage started getting lousy, which was lousy already during the beggining. It wasn't even an hour yet but he said the massage is over so I complained it wasnt even an hour yet. Since he is really turning me on though, we negotiated again with the ES. After we both agreed, he started jerking me off. After a few minutes, I came. He wiped my cum, I paid him, then he went away. I went out feeling guilty but fulfilled at the same time.

    Amorvida Spa in Lifestyle District. I think they only have 2 masseurs. First time I went there, I never thought the masseur will offer me ES because the spa looks wholesome and there was even a notice disallowing ES na dtaking the masseur's number. To my surprise, soon after the massage was over, he whipered If I want an ES. since the masseur is really not my type, I said no. The second time I was there, another masseur attended me but did not offer ES and was not surprised after all. Both masseurs were short and not so muscular. What really turns me on are the tall and musclar type of guys. Do you know someone? Hehe

    Red Fern Spa Dvsoria and Carmen branches. I have been to carmen branch once and dvsoria branch several times. Some offer ES and some dont. Maybe as I said I dont look Bi after all. Massage is average.

    Tatsujin Spa in velez branch. I got curious about this spa by reading at your blog. I went there but did not have a massage since mostly female therapists were there when I get there. But when I went outside, I saw 3 average-looking men talking outside and presumably working at the spa. Should I try this spa?

    Acqua Spa in JR Borja ext. I regret going here. Well, I just went here for the reason that I was with my friends and we want to get a good massage. To my dismay it was not good at all. It's even expensive and only female therapists are working there.

  4. Thai Boran ampitheater branch. This was the first massage spa I went and coming back again and again should I need a great and wholesome massage. In those several times that I had my massage in here, I was never offered an ES be it a male or female therapist. Reasonable price for a goid to great massage depending also of the therapist.

    I am also curios about Metta Spa in dvsoria but it's location is too public that I don't want to be caught heading inside this spa.

    Another one that caught my curiosity is this Ceasar's Place Spa across Trinidad bldg. Although I've heard they're expensive especially with their Lingam Massage although that's debatable if that's authentic Lingam Massage or just for the sake of it.

    I read from your blog re Elysium Spa's bad service. I always pass that place but was not tempted to try their massage since I don't want to experience what you had experience in that place too.

    Do you have more suggestions where I should try next time?

    1. Your observations are spot on. Fai Thai is notorious for ES. No more massage, just ES. And the one hand massage (one hand using a phone) is annoying.

      I have not tried Amorvida and probably would not. The place is too "public" hahahaha I think one of their masseurs came from Fai Thai.

      Tatsujin Velez Branch is average as per my experience (went there once). Offered me 500 Pesos for ES. See blog post last June on Tatsujin.

      Acqua is exclusively female therapist. One reason why I did not include it in my list of spas in CDO.

      Thai Boran Divisoria branch so far is "clean". Have not heard anyone getting ES or offered ES.

      As for Metta, we have the same thoughts. It is too "public" hahahaha but not as public as Lifestyle District.

      I went to Caesars Place Spa and asked about their lingam. One important thing I forgot to ask....do they have male therapists? Someone posted a comment that it is only female. So I hope someone can clarify this information.

      Elysium? I think I have not tried Elysium yet but it is next in my list...abangan!

      Has anyone tried Moon Spa? I heard those notorious ES therapists are working there. Sorry I am more into the massage than ES. Again ES is supposed to be extra.

  5. Is Johnny still in Red Fern Carmen? I got curious about him after hearing a lot of hot reviews.

    1. I think he is still there. Just ask for him. Kung wala siya, just ask the receptionist when he would be available. You mentioned that you like muscular tall guys. Johnny is not tall or muscular but he is a cutie worth trying :)

  6. Can someone confirm if Sanctuary Spa in GC has a masseur who is very muscular like body-builder type of guy because I passed by once there and I saw this guy approaching inside and he was like wearing his uniform though not really sure.

    1. Another spa that is too "public" for me :) I heard there are good-looking guys there but again, beauty is subjective. What might be handsome for some might be just okay for me or worst ugly.

    2. I don't have any qualms going 'public' spas like Amorvida and Sanctuary since MOST people really go there because of the massage. They look like a wholesome spa after all..

      Let us know when you get to experience Elysium spa soon. I just had a massage last week but my body's aching for it again. We should probably get a massage together too. An orgy would be nice. Just kidding. :D

    3. Speaking of orgies....Red Fern offers "dalawang hagod" massage or something like that. In short, it is a threesome. Two therapists will give you a massage (synchronized massage). Two masseurs, four hands, two dicks...what can go wrong? hahahaha ;) Unfortunately I have not tried it because it is too expensive and you also have to tip both therapist.

  8. Hi sir... As what i have noticed most of the spas you like offers ES... Mahumpay SPA is one of the most professional spa i visited here in CDO... they offer a very good massage especially when you only want is a good massage and nothing else... I think you're just pissed off because you want the other thing... Now, i know why people see massage therapists as kinda dirty profession it's because of some customers like you...

    1. I think they were not able to read a comment I posted last August 16 in this article. In the last paragraph I reiterated my stand on ES. ES is just extra. I am after a good massage.

    1. I totally agree with you. Red Fern has to renovate its spa. The Filipino themed interior with the sawali and bamboo stinks, literally. Baho ug kawayan ug sawali. Sayangan lang ko sa ila. They actually have a variety of massage services including Filipino hilot and others. If I am not mistaken they are the only spa in CDO offering 2 masseur massage. Duha ka therapist mag massage nimo.

    2. SIOTEE Relaxing Spa and Elysium (I think) offers 4 Hands. Just went there (Sunday-11:30pm) to check the place out, but didn't went to get a massage. =)

      Delete
    3. Thats good to hear. At least now we have more options. Thanks

      Delete
    4. Yup, but doing 4 Hands will lessen the time you have on the massage. Like what happened to me at SIOTEE, they stopped at about 25minutes, I ask the therapist #1 since therapist #2 went out to get something why the massage is only 30mins? I paid for an 1hour, I should get my money's worth. Then they have this excuses that their clock has a different time. Hahaha !! Maski na different ang time, dapat 1hr gyud. Wala sya mabuhat kay ng complain naman ko, so gipadayun nalang nila hehehe ...

      Delete
    5. Sakto gyud imong gi buhat! We have to demand what we paid for! Nagbayad ka ug sakto unya kulang ihatag sa imo? Binuang na. Most of these therapists are becoming abusive because clients do not complain. I am now having second thoughts with Siotee. Murag mga abusado pud diay ilang masahista.

    1. Yes but it is a better alternative than those street call boys who do not get checked by the City Health Office and robs their clients. Mga call boy dinhi sa CDO mga kawatan. It was a big issue years ago. Naa naman gani Facebook account bahin aning mga swindler nga call boys.

  18. I miss CDO very much!!!!I miss the SpaDventures!!!kasi naman...i find the comfort in my own home....goodbye expensive, exploited, and poorly trained therapist na! I must have been lucky...I can demand my own time...my own price....I just felt guilty because these masseurs doing me home service where really innocent about the usual spa rates of ES...or maybe they love it too..i don't know...350php...massage with ES sometimes i give more if we get to the next level....but never beyond 1k..I remember in Manila the usual rate is 2.5-3k massage with ES...but theres this one masseur i can recommend when you are in Manila..he only ask 1.5k massage with ES..cutie, muscular, tall, moreno, and a father of 2, 26 y.o (sure ka talaga na straight)..he used to work in Wensha but now exclusively doing massage service to Philippine soccer team...i can assure you his massage is great...

  20. Hi, admin, have you heard or are you familiar with a story of some masseur who thought of stopping from their job, share it to the client after befriending, plans for an alternative work and ask a little help to get him started. Can this be some kind of a modus? Or is this usual already?
