I think I am making massage and spa houses in Manila rich. I am a regular at some of them, even twice a month at times.But if there's one Spa worth your money, it would be Wensha Spa.
Wensha Spa is my standard when it comes to massage.I go here not as a blogger but as a regular customer who needs relief from back pain and all the stresses of daily life. And the reason why I keep coming back is because they have the best masseurs in town in the price range of 700-800pesos. That price is very competitive as it falls in between the cheap massage clinics offering a few minutes of relief and nothing else after and the expensive ones which offers good facilities but almost similar in terms of the quality of massage.It indeed boils down on the masseurs at the end of the day.

WENSHA SPA Antipolo
With this rate,you can have unlimited access to the hot pool and sauna
and free buffet meal too.That's an unbeatable combo. Wensha Spa
currently has three (3) branches to date. The first one opened in
Timog,then came Roxas Blvd near World Trade Center and the latest being
Wensha Antipolo.I've been to all three of them.The one in Roxas Blvd is
my favorite.I always go there with my wife.
WENSHA SPA TIMOG
The one in Timog is old and
too crowded for me. I tried it once and haven't come back since then.
Got one of the best "clean" massage ever but the Suana area is too small
I felt uncomfortable staying there during my visit. The dining area at
the 2nd floor has this cabaret feel (less the performers) and you can
feel that so many eyes are looking at you. I was there alone that time
and despite being too busy worrying about my painful back, I was really
uncomfortable 90% of the time. I really think that branch needs an
upgrade.Sure,I said that it boils down on how good the masseurs are but
given the fact the there are other better /cleaner branches to choose
from then I would rather go to the latter.
What I like about Wensha
Roxas Blvd is that it's spacious. It gives you the chance to dip on the
hot pool without the concern of literally rubbing elbows with other
which could be embarrassing. It gives you a feeling that you can breath
despite being in a crowd. This is important for me coz I always go to
the suana first before having a massage. It still feels better being
thoroughly clean before the rubbing starts. Sauna rooms are separate for
men and women.This is true to all Wensha branches.
WENSHA ANTIPOLO
The one in Sumulong Highway is the latest addition to the brand.I was there with some friends a few months ago and I like it there.The vibe is different.If the one in Roxas Blvd. is Asian inspired,this one has a modern-condo feel.It's contemporary and minimalist.I love the sauna area for men coz it is on the side facing Metro Manila. They took advantage of this and placed glass walls thereby giving an uninterrupted view of the metropolis below and if you come here in the after,a beautiful view of the sunset.
It's relatively new so it's clean.They have three sections for the restaurant.One,facing the highway which looks like a typical restaurant one can find anywhere.It has an open air section for smokers.My favorite section is on the cliff-side.The interior is more intimate and the couches are more comfortable.Again, it gives an amazing view overlooking metro Manila.I also noticed that they serve different food from that of Timog and Roxas Blvd.

Electronic lockers
are located in the Sauna area.I noticed many people going there in
groups and that's better coz you have somebody to talk to just in case
you need to stay inside for a few hours para matanggal yung lamig mo sa
katawan.Sorry for the Tagalog description,donno how to put it in
english.haha.
The use of the sauna and hot pool is optional with full
body massage.But shower rooms are located in the same area so that's
still where you have to go to if you need to wash before the therapy.Hot
and cold showers in Wensha Roxas Blvd are a hit and miss sometimes.80%
efficiency if I may say.Same with the hot pool,it's either too hot or
too cold 20% of the time.They have two sauna rooms (dry and smoke) which
also run and 70-80% right temperature. Food The buffet is kinda okay.
WENSHA ROXAS BLVD.
There’s shabu-shabu which my wife loves especially with the dining area
setup in Wensha Roxas Blvd. where wooden tables are intimately lit in the
smoking section.Roxas Blvd has this Asian feel especially in the dining
and massage sections. They usually serve three or foul viands and comes
with unlimited juice or iced tea.A good deal for the rate of 800pesos
(for the full body massage,unlimited use of Sauna and unlimited
buffet).Be sure to get what you can finish though,you could be charged
for leftovers although they are not usually strict. I am sure you don't
wanna push your luck though.
My wife and I usually eat the moment we
arrive and again after the massage before leaving. And since we always
frequent the place,the food gets kinda tiring coz they basically serve
the same thing each time. At one time I thought I was eating "pagkaing
baboy" na coz it has always been the same. But as said,I have no right
to complain with a rate this practical.
Massage Each room are softly lit
and has two massage beds. 90% satisfaction. I had very good massage
experience 9 out of 10 times. Clean massage only.The place prides itself
in that. If you want extra service, you should go somewhere else.
Talked to some of the masseurs and they said they are given permission
to walk out of the massage area should they feel taken advantaged to by
customers.I can't count the number of time I tweeted "I had the best massage ever" after every therapy.Need I say more? :)
PS: This is not a paid post.As I said,I regularly go to Wensha as a paying customer :)
