Hey! I really enjoy going to wellness spas, even if it’s just for wet area access. I’m totally fine leaving the place without any fun encounters, sa totoo lang. I always feel great after doing my usual routine: sauna, then a cold plunge or cold shower (usually two or three rounds). If you feel like you’re catching a cold or getting sick, this might even help. Though nakakaantok after.

If you’re looking for someone to go with or someone who can show you around and hang out with you inside, I’d be happy to join. I won’t ask for anything except the wet area access fee. I think I’d be pretty good at guiding a beginner around.

About me: I work out, pretty manly, and a decent guy.

Hi! I'm planning to finally try T this weekend. Sino ang recommended nyo na thera for the Explorer?

Kamusta crowd sa club bath? Marami bang yummy? Been trying to figure out if I would go to Club Bath or 27Shaw (Pasig) this weekend. Maraming yummy sa 27Shaw pero kind of unfriendly and too picky ang crowd. Bihira lang makatiyempo. I am chinito, matangos ilong, stocky, and manly guy.

I’ve always held this massage place in high regard because their deep tissue service really suits my body’s needs. On top of that, they gave me a loyalty card — a perk I appreciate and a reason to keep coming back.

I returned because the deep tissue massage was excellent, exactly what I need to reset before starting a new work week. From their advertising — highlighting their facilities, services, and even a promo of a free one-hour massage if you bring two people — you get the impression that they are very customer-focused.

During my recent visit, however, things took an unexpected turn. When the therapist asked me to flip over to continue the routine on my front, I felt him deliberately caressing my private area, which led to a slight arousal. He then removed the eye cover and whispered if I wanted “release.” I knew this wasn’t part of the service I booked, so out of curiosity I asked if he was offering an “extra service.” He confirmed, but I declined, telling him it wasn’t my intention and I didn’t have the budget. I mentioned I’d only give a tip of 100 pesos. He then suggested that next time I return, I should ask for him by name to avail of his extra service.

This was disappointing. It seems management hasn’t firmly instructed their therapists not to offer such services, or perhaps this is simply the behavior of certain therapist. Comparing this to my first visit, the deep tissue massage was professional, satisfying, and without any inappropriate offers.

1. I won’t name the therapist because I don’t want him to lose his job, though I can’t deny feeling saddened that a place I thought was a hidden gem would allow this kind of practice.

2. There are no signs inside the massage rooms prohibiting indecent proposals or extra services.

3. I didn’t expect a zen-inspired massage parlor to be associated with such offers.

Will I come back? Possibly — but only for the deep tissue massage, and definitely not with the same therapist. I’d prefer the one I had during my first visit.

Will I recommend it to others? No.

I know they’re new to the business, and I don’t want to ruin their reputation. But if this happens again, I’ll have no choice but to call them out.

They currently have branches in Alabang, Baclaran, Parañaque, and Tagaytay. Their logo is green, featuring two hands with stones, and their name is derived from a Japanese word meaning “nature,” “natural,” or “spontaneous.”

DM me, I could whisper the name of the massage parlor.

Thank you for reading.

I visited this spa about two weeks ago with no prior booking, just walked in out of curiosity since it’s known for being quite strict with their screening process. I deliberately went on a Wednesday to avoid the usual Friday-to-weekend crowd.

At the reception, the staff was polite and welcoming. They asked if I had a booking, and I said NO, I was just there to check out the wet area. They casually offered their massage services, which I was honestly very close to availing.

While I was still deciding, a guy in his early 40s walked in, also without a booking. The other receptionist assisted him and mentioned that all massage slots were already full, suggesting he book in advance next time. He tried his luck by asking if any sessions were about to end soon, but unfortunately, still no availability. Mind you that this guy is not everyone’s cup of tea face card wise.

Feeling a bit bad for him and maybe a little spontaneous. I chimed in and said, “You can take my slot.” 😆

He was grateful, of course, and the receptionist had no choice but to accommodate him.

KAPATIRAN at its finest. 🫣

first time ko mag explore sa massaage and napili ko ung t shaw sa QC nag avail ako ng wet area only mahirap ba talaga maka kuha ng masusubo at majajabol 😞😭 ung wild idea ko sa massage na gamyan kahit saang sulok my nagsusubuan kase un ung ibang nababasa pero bakit wala kanina ang dugaa

We used to go sa Cave pero heard na sarado na raw. Will try R Wellness on Thursday pag luwas ko Manila. Any spa recommendations na malapit sa Makati ? Salamat.

Curious lang. Ilang beses kayo pumupunta sa mga spa per week? Do some of you to there more than once a week or some once a month lang?

Who’s anyone or planning to visit Infinity Spa Bay Area. Andito ako now chat ka lang. Just Tap me.

Clyde here. Chat me lang hehehe

I'm visiting Davao next month and interested in exploring Spa in the area. First night, I'll visit Koi to relax but they don't have massage daw as per nababasa ko dito sa Red. 2nd night ko nalang gawin ang massage but torn between IS and Zodiac. I am hearing bad reviews to both so not sure which one is better or if you have any other Spa in mind that you can recommend. Thanks.

Hello, mga ka-spa goers! Ako pala ‘yung nag-post dati na sobrang excited for a massage. Well, 27 Shaw did not disappoint! Nag-book ako in advance, around 3 days before the date.

Initially, ang kinuha ko ay The Ruler, pero sadly hindi na raw available si Mike. The staff called me about it, so balak ko sana mag-Explorer na lang, pero sabi ko, "f#ck it," nag-change mind ako. I went for The Lover instead for the experience.

The Ambience
Arrived at exactly 6:15 PM. Pagpasok ko pa lang, sobrang bango at very welcoming ng staff. Maganda yung place! Mukhang bago at well-maintained talaga. I’ve been to IS Makati, Bay Area, and CDO, pero iba ang vibe dito sa 27 Shaw. ‘Yun nga lang, medyo maliit lang yung locker room nila, hehe. Very attentive ang staff.

The Massage
Grabe. Ito lang masasabi ko: GRABE! Dalawang beses na 💦, sheeeet! Sarap. Lol. Basta, kung may budget kayo, go try it for the experience.

Wet Area & Interaction
Mixed naman yung crowd. Okay yung iba, mukhang friendly kasi smile lang nang smile. Nag-sauna ako at may lumapit, pero nag-decline na ako kasi wala na akong energy for a third 💦.
Ang routine ko was: sauna, shower, sauna ulit, then steam, shower, then steam. Hahaha! Just enjoying the facilities. Tapos ito na... habang nakaupo ako sa area between the pool/jacuzzi and the hall, may isang guy na grabe makatitig. Hindi ko napansin at first, pero nasa tapat ko lang pala siya. I stared back and gave a nod.
Nilapitan niya ako and offered me to suck his nips, which I did. Then we went to the shower, and ito ang nakaka-surprise—may pumasok na isa pa! Partner niya pala. F#ck, ang hohot nilang dalawa! From fantasy naging reality?? Lol! ‘Yun nga lang, when the first guy tried to f#ck me, I declined. Sorry, I have my reasons. They left the shower and said thank you.

Post-Spa
I left the spa na gutom na gutom, kaya kumain muna ako ng ramen sa Menya. Sarap ng tulog ko after... ‘yun lang! Byeeeee

If di mo trip makipag fun, ito nalang gawin mo hehe. Sharing how I usually do it whenever I hit a spa with a wet area, simple lang but super effective.
1. Quick shower muna
Para clean before entering the steam.
2. Steam sauna (10–15 mins)
Relax lang, let your body heat up. Don’t force it, labas ka if nahihilo.
3. Cold pool (30 sec–2 mins)
Slow entry, control your breathing. Hindi paunahan, just enough to cool down.
4. Rest (5–10 mins)
Chill muna, let your heart rate settle.
5. Repeat 2–3 cycles
Ito yung sweet spot for me.

Tips:
Hydrate 💦💦
Wag heavy meal before
Skip alcohol
Listen to your body
After nito, sobrang refreshed ka. Try niyo next time

Question lang po.

Gusto ko po sanang itry magpa massage sa Infinity Spa Cubao, Quezon City.

What are the things to expect?

Ano po yung Artemis Massage?

Pag nag avail po ba ako ng Apollo Massage, kailangan po bang mag tip sa masseur?

Hello. Saan may maganda body scrub and bakit dun? Reco pls

33M, super chub here, planning to visit mamaya. How's the crowd ng Sunday? First timer dito sa spa na to kaya medyo kabado, hanap ng kasama if ever haha tara?

Update here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Spa_Bathhouse_Review/comments/1t3cs72/review_as_a_first_timer_sa_t_by_27shaw/

Pwede ba sa spa kahit naka thongs? Or string thongs?

Hindi ba pag titingan if ever?

Ano yung sensual massage sa URUS and Infinity na counterpart ng Explorer in 27Shaw?

Planning to have T Shaw or Club bath for experience, parang daming good reviews and ganap, hehe. Anyone can guide me? Navigatios? What to avail? Etiquettes? Yung massage/es type? If you have other spa recommendations, that will be helpful too.

Btw, I have hairy/stocky body, bearded, very discreet, might be prone to rejection 🥲
