Frequently Asked Questions

What benefits do I get in going to The Spa?

The Spa is designed to be a place where you can go to let the world fade away. With all the stress and pressures in our daily lives, you may want to take a break and revamp your mind and body to feel good about life again. Everyday you take something from your body. You get exhausted at work. You hold on to stress and emotional tension. You feed your body toxins and expose your skin to environmental pollution. Now you need to give something back to your body. You need to recharge those batteries, clean out the filters and give yourself an overhaul. In other words, you need a spa break. The Spa will leave you feeling better about yourself, but you may also find something else: perspective, balance, peace, friends or even cures to chronic ailments and life changing experiences. Whatever the benefit, you'll wish you'd done it years ago.

How can going to The Spa make me look and feel good?

As you arrive at The Spa, there are a number of wonderful pleasing activities that will send you into a state of relaxation. Facials are a great place to start, the simple act of closing your eyes and having your face washed may start you to relax. There are many different types of facials available at The Spa and they are all with one benefit in mind: you. Whether you have a deep cleansing or an age defying facial, you will be sure to see a fresher face the next time you look in the mirror. If you enjoyed the facial, then head for a body treatment next since these are very similar. The treatment will encompass what the facial missed. After, you may feel as though your skin has been replaced with that of a child's. The dry layers of skin are no longer hiding the natural beauty underneath. Finally, you must also attend to your muscles and the tired feeling you may carry around with you all day. A massage will undo the tension, giving you a new sense of direction. The tension that can build in your muscles can be a source of irritability that many people do not recognize. Often the simple release that can come from a massage is an experience worth plenty. The price of a day at The Spa is not as expensive as the cost of high blood pressure and pulled muscles. From facial to body treatments to a complete massage, your tension will dissolve leaving you looking and feeling renewed and refreshed.

How often should I go to The Spa?

Massages increase circulation thus is nourishing to the entire body. It also promotes the release of by-products such as lactic acid which is one of the causes of stiff and sore muscles. The Spa recommends a regular weekly massage for health maintenance and to counteract the effects of daily stress, and a regular monthly facial and body treatment for optimum skin maintenance and nourishment. Ideally, you should not ration out your well being. Do not wait until your body breaks down. Make sure it keeps you going all year round. You don't deserve it, you need it!

What do I need to bring when availing of a spa service?

The Spa has all of the amenities you need for a full and relaxing experience. You will be provided a robe and slippers to wear and a locker where you can keep your personal belongings. Full amenities are provided for your convenience.

The receptionist is asking for personal details. Can I do away with that?

In order for us to create a client database, you shall be required to fill in a client information sheet and sign a waiver for our mutual protection.

Your wet floor facilities include contrast therapy baths. What are these?

A contrast therapy bath is a hydrotherapy treatment involving the combination of alternate immersion in hot and cold baths. It increases circulation and revitalizes through releasing tension and stimulating the system. Hot water stimulates blood flow to the surface of the skin while cold water stimulates blood flow to the core of the body. A shower is followed by submerging in the hot pool for not more than 10 minutes and immersing in the cold pool for not more than 3 minutes.

Certain body treatments involve the use of a Vichy shower. What exactly is it?

It is a shower taken lying down on a table atop a cushioned mat, usually in a 'wet room' where jets of warm water spray from above or below or all sides. It is used not only to rinse treatment products from the body but also to relax and improve circulation.

What is the difference between a deluxe and an executive massage?

Deluxe massages are done in rooms with 6 to 9 beds while executive massages are performed in single treatment rooms that offer privacy and more. We use regular massage oil in deluxe massages whereas executive massages are performed using premium massage oil made from almond, grape seed and jojoba that are known to hydrate, nourish and protect the skin.

What do the Premier Villas (The Fort branch) offer?

The Premier Villas offer a kind of "resort in the city" ambiance, as these are set at the top floor of The Fort branch, overlooking Bonifacio High Street. These stand-alone villas offer guests a more private experience so they can truly feel relaxed with their choice treatments and massages. Coming from the overall thematic mood and tone set by the cosmopolitan interiors of this branch, the villas also radiate a feel of urban zen with its wide airy spaces and clean off-white interiors. The general set up of the villas includes a shower, steam, jacuzzi, massage bed/chair and toiletries for the convenience of guests. Not all villas however, offer the complete set up. Villa assignments shall depend on the kind of service to be availed by the guest and the amenities needed for the duration of the service. As an added value for using the Premier Villas, guests are treated to an additional 30 minutes relaxation time on top of the treatment duration.

How different is the gift card from the gift certificate and the prepaid card?

The Spa Wellness Gift Card is the perfect all-season gift for any special occasion. Whether for an anniversary, birthday or holiday gift, congratulation, thank you or I love you gift, there is no better way to express yourself than The Spa Wellness Gift Card because it covers all services and can be used in all branches. The Spa Wellness Cards are available in denominations of Php1,000, Php1,500 and Php2,000. For the budget conscious, there are service-specific The Spa Gift Certificates and the discounted prepaid cards. A prepaid card is a good alternative for guests who frequently visit The Spa but are not keen on getting the membership packages. The Executive prepaid card has 10 executive massages and is priced at Php9,500 giving the guest a Php1,500 discount. The Deluxe prepaid card contains 10 deluxe massages and is valued at Php7,200 giving the guest a Php1,000 savings.

Do you replace lost gift cards, gift certificates and prepaid cards?

Gift certificates and gift cards are treated as cash hence, these will not be replaced when lost or stolen. Prepaid cards, on the other hand, are personalized and PIN-code protected, thus they can be replaced upon submission of the following requirements: letter of request, affidavit of loss and Php200 replacement fee or putting back the massage credits to ten, whichever is applicable.

I received a gift certificate but found out that it's already expired. What do I do?

Gift certificates that are no longer valid may still be used within one month from which it has expired. In case the one month grace period has lapsed, the sale date should not exceed one year from the date the GC will be availed for the penalty to be waived. In the event the above conditions are not met, an activation fee of Php200 will have to be paid per year the gift certificate expired. Please note, however, that this procedure does not apply to ex-deal GCs (those bearing the prefix X). Lapsed GCs of this type would have to be reactivated by paying Php200 per year expired

Do your members get incentives for referring new members?

The Spa shall reward members for referring new membership/s with an elite member's kit composed of a limited edition The Spa leather calling card case containing Php3750 worth of discount vouchers in the form of membership renewal and spa services. Members, old and new alike, may get to receive an unlimited number of kits by referring as many members as possible. This means one can have his membership renewed at no extra cost just by taking advantage of this member-get-member program.
