g.spa
Hello world! I’m not sure if any
of you experience serious post holiday syndrome, especially trips to Resort
areas that is often filled with daily massage. Well~ I do! Every single time I
come back from a holiday, I cannot help but search for spas and massage to
indulge. The thing about spa/massage in Singapore is that the price can be
quite steep thus only the occasional indulgence is acceptable, in a sense that
you do not feel guilty for pampering yourself. I’ve been invited to g.spa
recently for their Valentines Day couple package and without hesitation Nico
and I decided to try out their services. I myself was craving for a massage so
badly!
I’ve heard about g.spa but have
always thought that it was nothing different from other spas. I was wrong to a
certain extend when I found out that g.spa operates 24hrs, provides free flow
food/drinks, entertainment corners, hot pools and steam baths! And you can
enjoy all these with a single entrance that allows you to stay in the spa for
24hrs! SAY WHAT??? TWENTY FOUR HOURS!!! YEAH~
In my opinion, it’s a pretty good snatch for the price they
offer.
We started our session with a
really light lunch. Though I’ve heard that it is not advisable to eat before
massaging but our tummies are rumbling so we decided to just eat!
And later proceed with a 90
minutes massage and another 30 minutes soaking up in the private Jacuzzi that
is in the room (not included in package, top up $40 to enjoy). We’ve got a room
for couple with beds side by side. I really wanted to snap some pictures while
the masseurs massage but I was really enjoying it and procrastinated to
interrupt the massage and the next thing I realize, we have already approached
the end of the session.
I would not say all, but most of
my massage experiences in Singapore, were just mediocre. Basic expectations
like exerting comfortable pressure was not met. Sometimes my boyfriend
describes it as, “spreading butter on bread”. We are the bread of course. :/
However at g.spa, I must say we are both really satisfied with the massage. My
boyfriend expects pretty much when it comes to this and before I could comment
about the experience, he told me that, “this is really pretty good!” So it is
definitely a thumbs up for massage!
After soaking up in the Jacuzzi,
we explored their resting lounge. With big comfy chairs, music and movies for
entertainment. I took a nap while Nico watched a movie.
As mentioned, there are hot pools
and steam bath rooms that one could indulge, in the spent of 24hrs upon
admission. There are, however no couple rooms for these services. The male and
female rooms are separated.
We both parted to the respective
rooms for about an hour. I manage to get some quiet time alone and give my skin
some steam treats rejuvenation. I feel that the pace that we are living here in
Sunny O Island is pretty fast and texting, it can be stressful as well. To have
times like these, just relaxing and not think about anything would be really
nice~
I’ve never been able to stay in a
steam room for more than 5 minutes; it gets a little hard to breathe after a
while so I usually alternate 3 minutes in and 1 minute out. Despite having to
be in and out of the room which some might find it troublesome but my skin sure
does feel great and it is definitely worth the slight trouble.
I took a quick shower afterwards
and headed to the restaurant for the second time to fill the tummy!
Their Menu offers a decent amount
of variety and they also switch up from time to time so as to offer more. We
were given a private room to dine in, room could hold up to 6-8 pax, which
could be a good choice if you have a bunch of friends together. Room comes with
additional cost.
Crispy Seafood Noodles
Bak Kut Teh
This is their recommended and my favourite of all! I love
that the herbal base and it taste really delicious for a restaurant that does
not cater Bak Kut Teh as their sole dish.
Lamp Chop
This too is delicious! I’m not sure if I’m too hungry but
it really does fit my taste buds. Meat is just right not too hard. I almost
forgot that I’m in a Spa, felt like I’m here to talk about food. But seriously,
food here is pretty satisfying and being able to enjoy 24 hrs would also mean,
you do not have to worry about spending extra on food and you could eat as much
as you want (free flow)! :D
Nico and I spent about a total of
6 hours in the Spa with great massage, food and entertainment. We could have
stayed longer but we’ve got a movie to catch. Anyways, for the package and
price that g.spa offers, I feel it is really value for money! The same amount
paid at most Spas I’ve been to, would only entitle a maximum of 3hrs (massage+steam
bath). I have not been to one that
provides food and opens 24hrs. this is the first. At any point of time if you feel
you need a relaxing treat, even at 2am in the morning, now you know there is a
decent Spa to go to. To make a booking (strongly advise), drop them a call at
