Ace Water Spa (Ortigas Branch)

Ace Water Spa's first branch is in Banawe, Quezon City and I first went there with my friend Mina. We went there on a weekday so that there'll be no one we know that we can bump into.

As part of my urban backpacking trip with my cousins, we went to Ace Water Spa's new branch which is in Ortigas (which is a good thing because it's nearer to the hotel where we're staying in for the weekend).

We got really lucky with Ace Water Spa! We were able to get their grand opening Buy 1-Take 1 promo of the 4 hours hydrotherapy massage for only Php275 each. (Php550 regular price)

Pictures/Camera were forbidden but we were able to steal one shot. This is what it looks like from the outside, the Massage pools are located farther at the back.

Must Try:

• The Herbal Pools
• The Rainfall Acupuncture - which is my favorite!
• Chest Jet Massage
• Chest and Waist Massage
• High Pressure Massage

Tip:

• Each machine has a button where you can just press it and it'll target the body parts that you need to soothe.
• It includes instructions so you don't have to worry.
• They check your bathing suit if it's appropriate. They really make sure you show them that you are not wearing panties underneath.
• You will surrender your slippers and you will be provided "garterized" bracelets with your assigned locker key.
• There are separate units for shower, toilet and changing area. 
• Plastic bags are provided for your wet bathing suits.
• They provided powder, hair blower and other toiletries.
• Trunks are available for rent (Php100.00)
• They provide you with color coded swimming caps (red and blue) to determine who's overstaying.

The Buy 1 Take 1 promo of Ace Water Spa is until June 15, 2011 only. I got one complimentary ticket because we were seven in a group when we went there so I gave my complimentary ticket to my friend Joy together with my other Buy 1 Take 1 coupon from my BDJ Planner.
