I Love ACE Water Spa

I miss my wife, I miss going here with my wife.

Aside from my wife, I love ACE Water Spa because of many reasons.

The Hydrotherapy Massage experience is heaven. From soft, moderate up to hard massage you will surely feel a great relief after.

After going for an hour of Hydrotherapy Massage the herbal pools, steam and sauna are also a very good experience to do at ACE.

And of course, you can't leave the spa with spending some exercise at the lapping pool.

You can take care of your partner thru massage. And when you feel good you can transfer this energy, you can use this as an expression of love.

Do you often that not misinterpret this feeling with someone else. Hmmm imagine...

With work you get stress...when working at home it also gives you stress. How do you deal with it?

It is important to make sure you get rest. Rest means you stop doing everything even if it's thinking. And when you stop everything, you give yourself a relaxing state of mind. When you are at rest, it is the best time to get a massage. Feel it...you deserve it.

What makes a good massage

We have asked around a group of those who work on and offline what gives them a good massage.

Massage gives heavenly pleasure when you hear these two keywords from them: relax and refresh.

Here's a list of the first few answers we got from male audience:

• Yung relaxing, di gaano mabigat.
• You are refreshed after, because there are some that are painful.
• I don't know, hindi ako laging nagpapamassage eh.
• Relaxation, comfort, to relieve stress *tip: if you are looking for a massage I recommend Wensha located at Pasay near Moa (via Ramil)
• Good massage?hmm, if it relaxes your muscles and soothes most of your body pain
• The sense of touch
• If a person is tired and stress out. that's the perfect time to do have a massage

How to Choose the Best Spa in Metro Manila

by carpediem
I’m not going to lie; Metro Manila is a very stressful place. The traffic is a nightmare, the streets are always flooded and the pollution is horrible. If you live or work within the area, I’m sure you can testify to that. So if you’re coming from an eight-hour grind in the office, it would be nice to treat yourself with a pampering spa treatment. However, there are numerous choices of spas in the Metro. If you want to narrow your choices, here are the things you should consider.

Price It’s hard to make a living nowadays so it’s important to be practical. You want the spa experience that’s worth the amount you paid. Remember, you’re going to a spa to relieve stress. Don’t punish yourself by paying a stressful amount of money. So pick a spa that’s friendly to your wallet.

Location It’s wise to pick a spa near you. You don’t want to travel too far just to get a massage especially in Manila where traffic is terrible. If you get stuck in the traffic, you’ll just end up more stressed. Also, you want your spa away from a bad neighborhood. You want to be worry-free when getting a massage to experience optimum relaxation.

Facilities The venue must be spacious and properly sanitized. You don’t want your spa to be tight and dirty. The place itself must be a pillar of health and wellness. People visit spas from time to time so make sure that the place is clean to avoid transferring of diseases. 

Massage Quality This is perhaps the most important thing to consider when picking the right spa for you. The massage must be relaxing and revitalizing. The therapists must know what they are doing. It is best if the therapist possesses “Magic Hands”. Every stroke must bring pleasure to your body. Also, you don’t want to be massaged in a mechanical manner. It’s awesome if the therapist can give you a massage with more personal feel. Massage builds connection between people. It’s more relaxing if you feel connected to the one massaging you.

Employees’ Attitude All employees must have a pleasing personality. From the security guard to the therapists, they should all be friendly. When going to a spa, as much as possible, you want to avoid any bad vibes. So it will be awesome if all the spa personnel can give a friendly atmosphere.

In short, the best spa in Manila should be cheap, accessible and clean. Also, the massage should be top notch and the employees should be nice. Now you know the things to consider when choosing the best spa, have you picked the ideal spa for you?
