My Spa Review

While I was walking around City Central School I spotted this new spa.

 So I went in and inquired about their services.  Their Swedish massage costs around 250 Pesos while their Shiatsu is 280 Pesos.

 Looking around the interior the place looked familiar.  Where have I seen this unfortunate decor?  They tried to imitate the "Forest" ambiance with plastic leaves and hanging vines.

 There was no foot bath.  I was immediately asked to go to my cubicle in the 2nd floor.  The 2nd floor door was just a rough plywood door like they just placed there for the sake of it.  When I opened the door, there was more of the unfortunate decor.  More plastic leaves and hanging vines attached to a thin wire.  The floor was covered with plastic linoleum.  
Add caption
I was told to enter the cubicle and then I realized that the place actually looked like Mahumpay!  It was tragic.  Murag boarding house nga gi himo lang basta maka kwarta lang ang tag iya.

 The cubicle curtain partitions were hung by a thin wire.  Just wires!  And the bed foam?  It was so thin that I could feel the hard plywood pressing on my entire body.  They could not even afford to patch up the other side of the wall.  You could see the wall support from the other side.

To add insult to injury, the massage was bad.  I did not like it.  I think it was also the bed that was really making the massage uncomfortable.

 I wanted the massage to end so I could get out of the place.

Conclusion

They were charging people 250 Pesos and the spa looks like a cheap boarding house.  It was not worth my time and money.

 A spa is supposed to be a place to relax.  That includes visual stimulation and relaxation.  How can you relax when all you can see are roughly patched up wood partitions and decor that were placed just for the sake of it.  Basta basta nalang gi himo para lang tawagon nga spa.

    Forest spa is not recommended... Kung magpa massage mo ayaw mo dira, masayang lang ang inyong 250...

      Is this comment addressed to me or to the Anonymous person on May 12, 1:52am?

      I have gone to many spas in CDO including in Manila and Cebu. I can easily distinguish a good from a bad spa. Go to Sentara, Touch n Heal, Nuat Thai and even La Cabana and tell me if Forest Spa is worthy of the name Spa? Fai Thai or Finest Thai has better facilities than Forest Spa and they only charge 200 Pesos for their basic massage.

      I agree! Tinuod baya that guest are entitled to their own opinion which is based on their experience.It hurts to see nga naai guest nga wa ma ganahi sa iyahang experience, dapat mao nay hatagan ug importansya . Ang uban man gud business owner kay ga huna2 lang nga naai business.wala ba gi studyhan ug tarong kung unsa ng ilang gi sudlan nga negosyo. Maong naai feasibility study (correct me for the spelling) kay para mu guide sa mga tao nga nag plan mu put up ug business. They should learn every single detail for business kay in the end sila ra gihapon ma apektuhan kung naai mga palpak sa ilang gi put up na business. Sayang lang ang ilang mga effort.

    I been visited Forest Spa 5 times pero okay nman services nila..Baka naman business owner ka din kaya nagkakaganyan ka! Sorry ha but im just only telling the truth.. Hindi kasi maganda na manira sa kapwa... Kung hindi lang cguro ako regular client don, mapaniwala mo na din ako.. Hindi naman lahat ng tao kaya natin e pleased eh, kaya lang kung purely massage lang talaga hanap mo, mas mae recommend ko nman ang Forest Spa.

      I have been accused of owning a spa before and I already answered that issue last year. Basa basa kung naa kay oras. Manira sa kapwa? Hahaha Since when is telling the truth a sin? And by the way, you are from CDO right? Ngano man gyud mag tinagalog? Speaking to me in Tagalog does not make you sound intelligent and better. Stick to the issue. The issue is the spa. The interior decor looks cheap and the massage is relatively expensive compared to other spas in CDO. Sa gi ingon na nako, pila na ka spa akong gi sudlan dinhi sa Cagayan ug uban pang lugar (Manila ug Cebu). Kibalo ko unsay spa nga tsada ug pangit. And that is the very reason why people read and support this blog.
