It was a very stressful day when I decided to take a look at some spa promo. I saw Toccare spa and Fifth season spa are currently having a promo in deal grocer. I was more familiar with Toccare spa located at Makati, while I haven't heard the Fifth season spa yet. Reading both fine prints, and some reviews, I decided to try the Fifth season spa as it turns out to be more suitable for a couple.
I bought 2 vouchers and make a reservation. One voucher costs only 450 for a 90 minutes massage. The Fifth season spa is located at the 3rd floor of Astoria plaza in Ortigas.
Our massage is scheduled on June 25, 2015 at 4pm. We arrived there 10 minutes late as we decided to have some snack first. :)
I handed the voucher to the receptionist and fill up some papers before we were led to their hand washing area which is their first ritual for every guest. They'll have you wash your hand with a warm water and a crystal like soap which smells really good. This was already relaxing for me.
We were then led to a couple room, (requesting for a couple room is free in here which is an added point to this spa because there are other spa where couple rooms have extra charges). They have a total of 5 rooms, (4 single rooms and 1 couple room). Each room has its own bath tub, set of towels, bath throb and slipper. Each room also has its own theme, which corresponds to every season (summer, spring, autum, winter and fifth season) you can choose which room you want the massage to be done as long as it is available. But since we are couple, I chose the fifth season room which is their only couple room. They also have area for foot services.

Here are the pictures of the rooms... I don't own all the pictures as I accidentally deleted some of the pictures I took on the spa.
I was really amaze with the theme and ambiance of the spa. The staff were very polite as well. The facilities and environment are very clean and relaxing.
We took a quick bath first in their cute bath tub and change our clothes into bath throb. When you are ready, just ring the bell and the therapist will come to your room to do the massage.
As we ring the bell, 2 therapist (both girls) came to our room. The massage that we have is called Hilot massage which will last 90 minutes, it includes banana leaves wrapping.
Unlike other spas that I experienced where the therapist start from your legs to your back, in Fifth season spa, the therapist starts on your back to your legs and feet then back to your back again then to your arms and hand. Hot banana leaves were applied and it was very relaxing as well. Therapist were very professional, before they start the massage they'll say an introduction and have you participate with a quick inhale and exhale exercise. You'll know also that there is really a standard process/step for each massage, because everything that she'll do on your one arm/leg, she'll do it exactly the same with your other arm/leg.

I don't remember them offering us a hot towel but it's okay since the oil that they use is not sticky and smells really good. They'll inform you when the massage was done and have you change your clothes while they prepare your drink (you can choose from coffee and hot/ice tea). After changing your clothes, your drink is already in their foot area which is just beside their reception area. You can sit and relax their while sipping on your drink, beside the drink is the therapist name plate which I think is used if you want to give a tip to your therapist which we did since we were very satisfied with the massage and the overall service they provide to us.
I will definitely go back to this spa, I am just waiting for another promo of their massage as for me the regular price is a bit pricey... or kuripot lang talaga ko? hahaha.. the massage that we have is originally priced at 1,000 pesos which we got for only 450, it was more than 50% off. :D
I hope you enjoy this post, you can read my previous post or watch out for my next post.. :)
Thankiieess! :)
