haha, thanks! Not interested in "extras," but good to be clear. Do you know what the going rate for a massage is in Dumaguete? (approximately) I appreciate the contact - I've been reading on this forum that it's hard to find a good massage here.
I used to go to Nature Spa north of Silliman, p300/hour. Jeanith (Janet), I think she charges p200/hour in Duma, I am now in Valencia and I know she has regular clients in Dauin. Other than that not sure how big of a radius she covers,
one of my favorites is the spa across from the Qualfon in the city by the PNP station next to the 7/11 store. coffee shop on ground floor spa upstairs with a sauna room. they have both male and female masseuse Sauna, shower, and massage package then a coffee and pastry after.
I've been to many places but none recently. No place is *good* I would say as 80% of their staff are mediocre. Its about finding one of the good ones at each place and making sure get a name and maybe even a number and keep going back to the same person. As far as going rate I'd say about 250p an hour but if during late afternoon/evening up to 350p an hour. Most of these gals get 50-100p (usually 50p) per massage they do plus something like 100p a day from what I've been told by most. I'm one of those clients who like to chat a bit while getting a massage like women do when they go to the salon. I'm pretty sure you'll get a gal focused on a good massage if your paying her privately 300-350p an hour. Just make sure she knows she needs to bring the massage oil or that you have yourself. Don't assume she will think of it unless she has a regular private business doing it.
Once in a while try using your left hand for a bit of "strange". Or your right if you're left handed.
I just wanted to say thanks for Jeanith's contact info. She's been massaging me for the past couple of months now, and she's great. I'm going to post her contact info on the expat Facebook page too, so others can find her as well. Thanks again!
Good to know, I'll be back in Valencia in about a month and I'm usually broken and in need of some deep tissue.
