Ginhawa Spa and Dining Experience

We reserved a slot for a friday night. 

It was a holiday (Pope in town) so it only took a short drive to Makati from Ortigas.

The place is easy to find beause they have a huge ad that you won't miss.

Reception Area

The place has an old Spanish Filipino theme. The reception was filled with a calming scent and a nature sound music playing in the background.The receptionist was wearing a colorful filipiniana. 

After confirming our reservation, she gave us a form to fill-up with our details.

I placed an X on the lower back area, however we were told we still need to inform the therapist :/

We waited a bit to be ushered inside (about 15mins)

We were an one hour earlier but they already accommodated us :)

Couple's room

Massage Bed

Comfort rooms

Shower - Sauna - Shower - Massage - Dinner

So that's what we did in order. 

The sauna room was a bit small for two persons.

 The attendant said she'll be back after 15 mins but didn't so we stayed there for another 10mins  before we figured out how to open the door :/ 

For the massage, I requested mine to be hard and yun nadama ko hinahanap ko ;p

A bit painful when the legs were pressed hard but it was relaxing when done on the upper back and shoulders.

After our 45min massage, we were told to take our time to rest. But we didn't feel like staying in the room longer so we get ourselves ready to dine.

Dining

Creamy soup

Kani Salad

Pasta 

Ice cream for dessert

Our 4 course dinner started with a creamy soup (tastes like usual sopas). 

It was followed by Kani, lettuce, mayo and topped with seaweed salad. 

Then the pasta in tomato sauce with lots of bellpeppers and pepperoni.

Lastly, a small glass of ice cream (about 2 spoons)

After all of that, Im still hungry :/ must be the serving size and besides I didn't finish my soup and gave some pasta pepperoni to M.

We paid a total of  P1600 (additional 500 for the couple's room) 

relaxing experience :)

Foot for the Gods

Last Friday, we tried Foot for the Gods at 5/F Megamall using our voucher from Ensogo :)

, I thought I can read a book but it was dark inside :/

I was wearing skinny pants so they asked if I wanted to wear a short because they will massage you up to your knees. I was given a white short and changed in their small CR.

They first cleaned our feet with hot towel and left it wrapped for some time.

It was followed by their foot reflexology and then hand, shoulders and head massage.

Lastly, a back massage. I was lucky to have a good masseuse named Fe.

She has a heavy hand which I prefer and she was able to put pressure on the parts that needed most.

I put my gadgets away and did nothing but felt the massage. Very relaxing \^_^/

Reflexology is a spa treatment where the therapist works on "reflex points" on your feet, hands, and head (especially ears). The theory behind reflexology is that these reflex points relate to specific organs and glands in the body, and stimulating those points with finger pressure promotes health in those organs and glands via the body's energetic pathways. - Foot for the Gods FB Page
