Minsan pa ulan bumuhos ka lunurin tuluyaaaan!
Yan na lang ang namutawi sa aking mga labi habang naglalakad patungo sa ISK sa unang pagkakataon. Isang maulang hapon ang sumabay sa akin. Nang matanaw ko ang gusali at signage ng spa ay hinanap ko agad ang entrance at pumasok ako sa loob upang makasilong.
Hay salamat! Nakarating nang matiwasay.
Maayos ang kanilang lobby na medyo maliit pero maswerte na walang ibang clients kaya nakaupo ako agad. Tinawag ako ng receptionist at tinanong kung may reservation ako. I told her na meron at ipinakita rin ang PLU card para makakuha pa ng discount. I was asked to take a seat while they were verifying the card.
Pagkatapos ng ilang minutong pagpapahinga ay ibinalita sa akin na beripikado ang card. Pinili ko ang Apollo massage at iniabot ang karampatang bayad. Iniabot sa akin ang RFID wristband para sa locker ko. In fairness lumevel na rin sila sa wristband na una kong naexperience sa 27Shaw. Hinatid ako sa locker area habang dumaraan sa hallway to the massage cubicles at lounge area. Sa lounge ay may mga male attendants at doon iniabot sa akin ang towel at slippers.
Maliit ang kanilang locker area kumpara sa ibang spas na napuntahan ko. May mga pagkakataon na nakakadikit o nababangga mo na ang ibang mga kasabayan mo. May dalawang wooden benches at may hot and cold water dispenser din. May dalawang powder rooms din dito.
As for the wet area, sapat naman siya pero hindi maiiwasan na maikumpara sa ISBA na mas malawak at bago. May kalumaan na talaga ang pasilidad ng ISK. May mga shower stalls, dry sauna, at steam room. All very cruisy. The crowd was all right and diverse in terms of looks and body type.
The lounge is good – there are couches and a TV with Netflix shows. The attendants serve you free drinks and chocolate chip cookies while you wait for your massage session or spot some cute guys. Just like in ISBA, the attendants will call those who are scheduled for the massage and then they will lead you to your assigned cubicle.
Lastly, there are a number of massage cubicles (my estimate 15) in ISK. The massage beds are elevated with a face hole for comfort. They are adequately spacious with special mention to the Artemis room that I was assigned to that was fitting for a VIP. (Note: I haven’t tried the Artemis and was fortunate to see the room with the “tools” for this.)
Scores and Final Thoughts
This is the second Infinity Spa branch that I have visited after Bay Area. At aminado naman na hindi kapantay ng ISK ang pasilidad ng ISBA. Bagaman ganito ang realidad, hindi ko pa rin mapigilan na balikan ang Kapitolyo Branch dahil maganda ang naging karanasan ko rito.
Therapist: CJ
Cute. Maputi. Macho. Iyan ang mga katangiang nagkumbinse sa akin sa unang subok sa ISK. At hindi naman niya ako binigo sa aspeto na ito nang makita ko siya nang personal. Mapagbigay rin siya sa mga pagkakataong nahahaplusan ko ang kanyang maskuladong katawan. Suprisingly, makuwento siya na taliwas sa maangas niyang aura (akala ko suplado sa una) at mabait. Adequate are his massage skills that may lead to something exciting – but a fair warning, bring extra moolah once you reach this point. Of course, he is not the assertive type if you are not into it.
Therapist: Eric
Isa sa mga OGs na nasubukan ko ang aking therapist sa ikalawang bisita. Eris is one of the pioneer masseurs in Infinity Spa, and prior to this, he was a mainstay at HopeMed along with Jack (na sa ISBA ko naman nasubukan.) As expected, he really delivered. But for this Apollo massage, it’s a different experience. The sequence was extremely sensual which may underutilize Eric’s strength in giving the relaxing effect of a regular (combination) massage. Naturally, he can do both, and this remark is based on preference. And him being one of the few who executes their new offering, the Artemis, makes me look forward to our next appointment.
Therapist: Philip
As an undergrad in hotel and restaurant management with experience in a 5-star hotel, Philip knows how to engage with his clients.
Therapist: Harry
His distinct Chinito charm truly distinguishes him from other therapists. While Harry may initially exude an air of aloofness, once he establishes a rapport with you, you’ll be pleasantly astonished by his adeptness in massage techniques.
Therapist: Frank
If you prefer an endearing fatherly figure who takes good care of you, Frank is the perfect match. Feel free to engage and enjoy the presence of daddy Frank.
Therapist: Carl
In the massage cubicle, Carl, despite his gentle appearance, harbors a mischievous nature that adds an exciting element to the experience. Prepare to be left breathless after his session.
Therapist: Ivan
The first recipient of the Outstanding remark, Ivan has firmly secured a place as one of my preferred therapists at ISK.
