How we spend his birthday - (1)
First Word : Our Massage Experience at Aegean Spa.
Happy mid autumn festival everyone!
Babe and I just returned from a 14 hour day out!
It's the boy's birthday today and this is what we did together!
We had our favorite toast and egg breakfast down at 东亚 before taking a late morning stroll to Central for his birthday treat! - A couple massage down at Aegean Spa.
A 60 minute session for both us set us back to a total of $160 nett, inclusive of the additional $30 that we paid to have a say over our choice of massage oil and I must say it is very very well spent! Let me explain why.
The last time babe and I paid for a full body massage was at Montigo - Batam.
The experience there was really awesome. : A view of the sea, fluffy white bathrobe, warm foot bath and the couple room comes en-suite with our own shower facilities! Everything is just so tranquil and pretty. The only down-side of that experience was that we felt really oily even after we wipe off the excess oil. I remember distinctively having to have a hot bath before heading out to dinner.
Down here at Aegean Spa, the couple room is not en-suite. ( There really isn't a need to since we are not having a body scrub etc). There's no bathrobe, no view, no foot bath with floating flower petals. It's just a very straightforward process. Strip, change, and lie down under the towel. ( Still very shy about this). BUT, I must emphasize that the skills of the masseuse is really good. Despite me requesting for a Swedish massage, she applies strokes characteristic of the Balinese massage on to areas which she feels that the Balinese strokes will be more helpful to my body.
They are definitely not pushy for us to add on any additional treatments like hot stones/sports massage. It was truly an enjoyable process.The best part of this massage is the after effect. We continued our day with lunch, soft ball and more walking without feeling uncomfortable! I truly believe that because we choose to top up our oil, the quality is better, and hence, as promised, 15 minutes after the massage, we no longer feel the stickiness of the massage oil. It was definitely fully absorbed by the body!
Overall, we really did enjoy the entire experience very much. It was simple, clean and straightforward and when we decline the offer to sign the package, they were very nice about it. If you do not mind not having a nice view or nice decor, we would strongly recommend giving Aegean Spa a try!
As of now, B and I are pretty darn satisfied!
PS: We completed our morning with a healthy vegetarian lunch down at Real Foods.
