A “spa retreat” at Blue Water Day Spa

April 21, 2009 by 8 Comments

A “spa retreat”, that’s what I want to call the experience when you have your massage at Blue Water Day Spa’s Capitol Hills branch. One doesn’t have to go for a 2-hour drive to Tagaytay just to “escape”  and relax from the stress of living in the city. Just visiting the Capitol  Hills branch will bring you to a different atmosphere, a relaxing retreat. You’ll see greens provided by the golf course nearby and fresh breeze because of the strategic elevated location of the spa. Watching the sunset is another relaxing experience aside from having a spa.

My favorite spa treatment at Blue Water Day Spa

February 21, 2009 by 3 Comments
I’m one of the selected 28 bloggers who won a chance to be the first to experience the first Spa Movie Theater at Blue Water Day Spa. By just submitting my entry, Mr. Francis Simisim of TechFilipino.com included me on the list of 28 bloggers. Unfortunately, my busy schedule hindered me to go to this luxurious experience at their Greenhills branch. But I didn’t fret that much because I can still enjoy spa treatments from Blue Water Day Spa at their Mother Ignacia branch in Quezon City. This branch is a few hops away from my office and whenever I need some pampering, it’s just a phone call away for appointment and a few minutes later, I’m inside their sauna.

My favorite spa treatment is the Traditional Filipino Massage and Swedish Massage. Whenever I need some serious deep tissue massage for my aching muscles, I go for the Traditional Filipino Massage. On some days that I just need some R&R, I go for the Swedish Massage. Two weeks ago, I had my Swedish Massage courtesy of my fave masseuse, Ivy.

The Blue Water Day Spa Mother Ignacia branch is maybe quite small compared to other spas but it will still make you feel relaxed with its ambiance. The lighting treatments in the spa gives you a cooling and relaxing effect already. At the reception, you will be greeted by their friendly staff, a slipper will be handed to you at once and they are also the ones to keep your shoes.

The shower, sauna, lockers and massage area is upstairs, area for guys are on the left wing while the area for ladies are on the right wing. Guys will be welcomed by the huge photo of Piolo Pascual while ladies will be greeted by Marian Rivera’s gorgeous face at the top of the stairs. Shampoo, soaps and towels are provided, other items like hair blowers, straightening irons and variety of brushes are also laid out in the counter.

The Swedish Massage is an hour-long massage consisting of soft to medium strokes on muscles. My masseuse, Ivy, did a good job I dozed off at one point. I guess having a Swedish Massage is one of the cheap thrills I can give to myself for just Php 650. Traditional Filipino Massage is Php 950.

Whenever there’s a good product or service, word-of-mouth is still a powerful tool to be known. And that’s the advantage of Blue Water Day Spa, because of the good services I enjoyed, I recommended it to my friends and officemates and even posted at Girtalk forum at Femalenetwork.com. Oh, and even our Quality Manager in the office is a frequent customer, she’s so happy with the services that’s why she gave away gift certificates for a free massage and a Foot Smoother Scrub as an incentive for quality achievers in our company.

Blue Water Day Spa is surely making it big, another addition to their branches is the Capitol Hills Branch. This 300-square feet branch just opened last January 2009, see the video of the Capitol Hills Branch below courtesy of YouTube:
