Danielli's Spa Revisited

I was yearning for a good night massage on a Sunday night as my last resort to relaxation from Christmas rush, so that I can start my work week refreshed. Off we went to Danielli's Spa, we arrived at about 10PM. We opted for the usual 1.5 hour massage for Php 530 and found that there is a reduction price promo! It was only for Php 450. Please read along to see my updates from my previous Danielli Spa review.

The massage:

 I have phone separation anxiety, it also helped me to always check my phone for the massage start and end time (including intermissions). I felt that the massage flow was lacking at some parts and did not feel that it was enough. For the benefit of the doubt, I approached the front desk and inquired. I was told that my massage was for 1.5 hrs., they immediately called the masseuse and asked how long my service was. The masseuse reported outright that it was for an hour only - okay, there was a mix up of information. My 1.5 hr massage was shortened to 1 hr. for the 2nd time around and masseuse went out twice for a total of 10 mins. It was an honest mistake for the masseuse's part and she offered additional kneading to fill in for the lost time, so I accepted and went back to the common room.

This time, I clarified that the additional massage will be for 30 mins. She blankly said to me that it will only be for 15 mins. because she went over 1 hour earlier. Again, I was checking the my phone and noted the actual start time (not to be confused with the waiting time in the common room until massage starts) and 10 min. down time with no clear reason. I stood up and walked out saying: "Nevermind." One whole massage flow was finished anyway, 15 minutes of hasty massage could not make up for the totality it.

Danielli Spa's amenities looked and felt the same. Unfortunately, the massage experience did not. Mr. DQ and I are in separate common rooms for men and women, we were the only customers at that time. I did not appreciate going to a wholesome spa where a masseuse repeatedly "slipped" her hands somewhere else. I am aware that confusion may sometimes take place between the front desk lady and the assigned masseuse; which is why Mr. DQ and I opted not to make a fuzz the first time around, we just realized that 1 hour was not enough for us. I am not sure if the business is trying to go after other spas that could offer 1 hr. massages for Php 200. I did not mind paying Php 530.00 and going the distance before, simply because it was worth it. I find it sad that they tried to stoop down a level in terms of service.
