Was in the area after dinner, googled and this place was nearest so we made a last minute call check if they had slots for 2 pax. The receptionist on the phone was very friendly and said we could come.
We chose the 40min foot + 20min shoulder/back which costed $70+, not cheap by any means but it was expected since it was not a cheap area.
I informed the masseuse that I had an old injury on the back of my ankle but she didn't understand English so her colleague had to translate. Then she told me 30+30, as in 30min foot and 30min shoulder. I tried correcting her that I booked 40+20 but she gestured to my leg and I figured ok sure maybe she as the professional knows better.
But let me tell you, when she started the massage.. I was flabbergasted. My only thought was, 'This is not sincere!'. She was just rubbing certain parts of my feet vigorously and it didn't even feel good. Really fast and inconsistent movements that made me feel the opposite of relaxed. Dumbfounded that I was experiencing the worst massage of my life at a premium price. I contemplated how to tell her but i didnt know where to start.. and I dont speak mandarin either so how?
The shoulder/back massage was better but it was still pretty bad.. all elbows and pressing really hard on the back of my neck. Overall, was really disappointed because I expected better service and quality when going to a reputable place with a higher price point.
