Relaxing at Senses Spa

It was Saturday, but a day before that i did my laundry and my back really ached. Then, I was surprised came Saturday night. Tody said let's go relax somewhere, my treat. Of course, should I say no? How could he guessed that I really needed to relax. I told him let's go to a spa for a massage. Since Senses Spa is so near our place in Paranaque, we went there after we ate a light dinner. I was told by my officemate not to take a heavy meal if you are going to be massaged.

When we arrived at the place, two receptionists greeted us and presented their spa packages, I said we only want an hour massage. She automatically said, Ma'am, it's 1390 for both of you. After paying, she gave us a number each for our locker. Then we were ushered to the shower room. Of course, they have a separate shower room for male and female. The shower room is huge. There are i think 6 shower rooms with curtains and all are equipped with hot and cold shower with liquid soap and shampoo from Watsons. They also have a wet and dry sauna. Since i already tried the dry sauna before in a spa in our province, i tried the wet sauna this time. I was alone when I entered the sauna, but I didn't dare to remove my towel, though I was tempted. Kidding aside, I think the wet sauna is much better than the dry sauna. Well, I won't tell the difference, it's up for you to find out guys!

After an almost 30-minute shower, the attendant guided us to our room, a two-bed room with a dim lighting and a flat screen television. Afterwards, two masseurs came in and massaged us for an hour. I won't give details about the massage but, I find it good and relaxing. After the massage, they asked us if it's alright to sign. I signed in a small paper where their names were written. I think it's for the tip. Should I give  a tip? 

Overall rating for this Spa: 8 out of 10.

I forgot to mention, they serve meals and it's free, but only simple viands like stir-fried tufu, chopsuey.
