Our office organized a wellness fair sometime last month, a lot of establishments participated in the event. Some that I can remember are:
- Burgoo
- The Spa
- Blue Water Day Spa
- Slimmer’s World
- Fitness First
- Nestle Philippines
- BTI Marsman
- Honda Cars
- Cashflow Group
- SM Cinemas
I bought gift cheques at Blue Water Day Spa due to their promo of Php50 to Php100 off on services. I know I have to grab that opportunity coz it’s not everyday that we get discounts on spa services.
I’m not really fond of body massages, I tried it out before but I ended up just laughing my heart out coz it tickled me a lot hahahaha! 
So what I usually do to relieve stress is to have a foot spa.
I have chosen to buy their twin package of foot reflexology & back massage. I bought 1 for their Makati branch and 1 for their Ortigas branch. I have yet to try their Ortigas branch but last monday, me and my friend Maus tried out the Makati branch.
While I was writing this blog post, I checked out their website and saw this description for the twin package: Relax the feet, back and the face, too, with this treatment that includes a 10 minute-Facial Crystal Massage. They didn’t give us the 10-minute facial crystal massage!!! That’s false advertising! Anyway, Php350 for a Php450 service is already okay, so no more complaints hehehe.
The Foot reflexology room has a beach theme. You’ll see several white chairs lined up with blue towels and a big poster of celebrities Piolo Pascual & Marian Rivera at the back of the room.
They’ll bring out the foot spa machine with warm water and soap to where you’re sit at. You have to put your feet there for a few minutes.
That’s my feet, oh yeah! You see the red marks on my feet? SUNBURN!! badly sunburned during our trip to Pangasinan last week. I wish the original color of my skin would come back though it’s really nice to see tan lines all over my body heheheehe an evidence that I went to the beach.
The next thing is the actual foot massage, this is soothing. Maus even took a nap while I control the remote and watch television. I was able to watch an episode of Ghost Whisperer. Relax galore!
Lastly, the back massage. Tickling hahahahaa. But very good, I’m pretty sure the massage therapist felt the stress in my body. I also noticed that the person is well-trained as the massage is really soothing and relaxing.
Php 450 is a fair price for this twin package. Personally though, I wouldn’t spend that much amount for a foot reflexology service. I got this for Php350 and I’m happy.
If you wanna try it out yourself, here is their Makati branch details:

Hi Rochelle,Suggest you join their online blogging contest thing. Winners get free massage. I’ll get the link and post it here later.
Thanks Carlo! 🙂
Roch, here’s the link:http://iendorser.com/2009/03/bluewater-day-spa-capitol-hills-20-bloggers-event-competition/
I think the ortigas branch is the best blue water so far. Their foot massage comes with a movie theater! 😀
u know i was walking with my friend around Makati and you/maus walked from office to blue water right? its so far kaya 😐 relatively.. other side cya e.. greenbelt area db?
Hmmmm we have to tell Francis about the facial that was not given to you on that twin package. Francis is the President of Blue Water Day Spa and I’ve been to their Ortigas and QC branch. They have a contest maybe you want to join but still tell Francis about the false advertising he will be very much affected by this negative feedback.
BEWARE OF THEFT! We availed the services at the Blue Water Day Spa Greenhills. After spending 2hrs there, my brother (the only male in our party of 5) discovered that someone opened his locker and stole php10,000 from his wallet and both his cellphones from his pants pocket! The lock was not tampered with so we can only imagine that they had a master key to open. How can a Spa encourage you to relax and leave your belongings in a 'secure place'? The key to his locker was within his sight at all times except for when they placed him on his back and put a towel over his eyes. The owners did not care nor did the managers. Wanted us to go to the police and make a report instead of getting the police to investigate. They are insinuating that a customer would have stole it? Why would a customer go to the trouble of stealing his cellphones and money from his pant pockets, and pick a locker open when these customer could afford to come in and avail the services in the first place! Can only imagine that this was an inside job! Beware! Do not avail Blue Water Day Spa Annapolis Street Greenhills – not only do they have thieves amongst their midst but are insensitive to their customers!!!DO NOT GO THERE!!!!
I hear you. Friend of mine was a victim of theft too–watch and cell phone. All under lock and key in the locker area. May be an inside job. Management and owners may be in it too ‘cuz they were very defensive and blamed the customer–very unhelpful in time of need. Not worth the risk, go somewhere else where there is some integrity in doing business!
