Out on A Spa Date

Because our favorite massage place, Moments closed up a few weeks ago, Romy and I have been on the look out for a spa for our regular couple's massage nights. It's not easy hunting and finding Moments because we wanted a place that's cozy and near our place. We are also very particular with the massage therapists and the music they play. We've tried one based inside a mall and we felt really icky just because the music sounded like they've been copied from sexy movies. Last Friday we tried the newly opened Mont Albo Massage Hut. Though they were pricier than the others that are being offered in our area, we tried them first for the sole reason that they have numerous francise, so for us that kinda relates to their credibility and good customer feedback. So what can we say about the experience? Well, the ambience was ok, I like the white drapes on the ceilings because that kinda reminds me of Asian-inspired movies. I like their music because they transport me to nature, zen gardens and even jungles, though Romy didn't like their selection of pieces. The massage itself? Well, during the massage it was ok. I enjoyed it and i feel relaxed. But we didnt like the fact that the therapists keep asking us if the "pressure was fine." It's like, they ask us every five minutes, so instead of being able to doze off to sleep, we were always alerted by their questions. We intended to tell them after settling the bill but because we were jolted by the fact that they were all (around 6 or more of them) standing at the lobby when we appeared from the cubicle, it slipped our mind to mention. Romy told me we might have to try other spas in the vicinity until we find one that suits our taste.
