Sauna Reviews

[BigCat13]

Visited Holiday Spa first as it's my regular place to go. It is near Holiday Inn Macau (not Taipa island). 1400 HKD for a Kazakhstan girl. Awesome body and face but just a regular romp. The line up this time was so so. Usually they have more non-Asian foreigners but this time only 2. This Spa isn't FN or Rio for that matter. My preference for this place is due to being left alone after.

Being asked once for extra services.

Tried Darling 1 for the first time and I highly recommend it to anyone to try it once. A bit pricey for what you get. It's located in Macau Master's Hotel on the western side of main island. Go past small lobby towards hotel lifts, turn right and enter elevator to 3 F. Once you're in it's basically a big room with the girls (approx. 20-30) sitting on staggered benches in the middle. Managers quickly get you seated and offer simple drinks such as water or cola. They've even got binoculars in case you can't see too well past 10 metres. You can ask for girls to stand up to get a better look.

All models cost 1800 HKD except for ones with star badges. I believe they were 2300 HKD. I chose a Thai girl named Dew (#59). She has awesome fake titties and great face / body. I made sure to check her hands and feet to avoid getting a ladyboy. Pay upfront at the desk and go upstairs. After visiting other establishments I have to say the rooms at Darling 1 are great. Ceiling and wall mirrors so you can get good views. First off shower together with a short but nice BBBJ, then go to bed. After the deed she gave me a massage and then gave me a good soapy clean in the bath tub. The only downside I can think of with this place is that there aren't any extra services such as food, use of pool, etc. You'the get at a sauna for the same price. Afterwards I went to a nearby Thai restaurant the girl recommended. It was good and reminded me of my time living in Thailand.

Many moons ago there was the famous runway at the old Lisboa hotel. However since that has shutdown streetwalkers have scattered. I noticed several of them walking the shops between Venetian to Sheraton. Not sure if they will service westerners but they definitely approach Asian guys walking alone. I didn't ask for prices and to be honest would never go for them. So much better to visit a sauna or place like Darling. To be frank the quality of streetwalkers aren't great and they are all Chinese.

Good luck to all.

The entry fee is around 200 - 300 HKD. But if you decide to get full service, they waive the entry fee. I'm not sure if just getting a thigh massage or other misc. Service will be the same.

I don't think they have a website. You can google image search for menu.

If side expenses exceed the entry fee you just pay the bill with no entry fee.

The entry fee is to avoid people steps in, have drinks and food, pool usage and do not engage services that need to be paid, or don't spend enough.

It is a sort of minimum expenditure.

They keep this as a grey communication area to induce you the use FS and spend far more (plus side services if any is taken).

Side services I refer to are the different lounge massages, scrub, pedicure, thigh massage, including the 60 or 90 minute massage with HJ at the best.

A quick search of this thread revealed that quite a few of you pay with credit cards. Is credit card payment available at all / most of the good saunas in Macau? Can the whole experience be covered by credit card or should I make sure to have cash on hand for tips and any other incidentals?

Thanks.

The big notable ones will accept credit cards. But don't make the mistake of thinking they are all good. Each one has its pros and cons depending on the discerning gentleman / monger. From my experience the charge is usually something inocuous like Blah blah Pty Ltd. They rarely put in something like Golden Sauna lest the missus or accounts dept start Googling what a sauna in Macau entails.

Some saunas don't accept credit cards. One example is Holiday Spa which is adjacent to Holiday Inn on main island.

Places that people have reviewed before will be a good start. The girls are rotated on a monthly basis which I suspect due to tourist visa.

Sometimes you hit gold, some times you don't. All part of mongering.

Thank you for your reply. I can not make up my mind whether or not I will go for full service before I see the lineup. I probably will pay the entry fee when I get in this place. The entry fee will cover bath, sauna, food, soft drinks and a locker. Am I right? Do they also give customer a small money locker?

When you enter they give you a wristband with a wireless key. It opens a locker where you put all belongings including cash. I've put in all my stuff with plenty of cash and had no problems whatsoever. To open the locker attendant uses his master key and you need to use yours. The wristband will have a number that corresponds to the locker number and also represents your 'account'. When you rack up charges through massages, FS, etc. The service provider will call management quoting it.

Entry fee covers what you mentioned. However I would steer clear of food items that arent usually ordered. You pay for all charges on your way out. FN will accept credit card but others may not.

Happy hunting.

Does FN have a website? How much is the entry fee of FN?

CC's are accepted in all the Saunas I have been to. The tab is all inclusive covering all services and incidentals incurred. You pay for everything at the front desk before you are allowed to depart the establishment. Management is very efficient. I suggest that you leave all your valuables in the locker provided for you. I make one exception with my cell phone which I bring along with me into the lounge / sauna area in order to exchange WeChat profile information with my girl in case I like her and want to hook up with her again. It is a slight pain in the ass to have it. Some suana robes do not have pockets. You can bring tip money in with you too if you have a mind to although I have never tipped the girls cash in a sauna. There is no need.

Some might add a percentage to the bill in case of credit card payment. Like 3%. It is a bad practice occurring here and there in the world. Sometime allowed by local regulations.

I'm of Asian descent so I get mistaken of being Chinese and then I have to go through the whole routine of explaining I don't speak Mandarin. Gets in the way of chemistry with PRC girls. Having lived in Thailand I can get along well with a few phrases of Thai.

Bringing the girls back to your hotel seems like a winner but I prefer to "dine out" so to speak.

I have been to both Rio and FN and though Rio facilities are better and nicer, I still prefer FN except for the lounge area where I prefer the rows of chairs seems a bit more private vs at FN. The massage girls at FN are a bit pushy but after telling them no a few extra times they stop bothering you. The one tight massage I had the girl was very nice, I think she wanted to come back to the hotel with me but I didn't get the hint at the time so there's always next time.

Also my experience with 2 PRC girls at FN have been some of the best experiences for me so I always prefer PRC.

I kind of felt like the main problem with some of the best Macau saunas was the lack of seats. Sanado and East Spa being the worst. So with this few seats the price hikes were impossible to stop. At least sanado was closed which had the fewest seats. But then again it probably had by far the lowest rent also, and at one point was the best value for money also. Maybe east castle spa had more seats. At the main group's saunas (18/ EMP / Rio) who also bought golden at one point I believe, there were still a lack of seats on some days. And golden at least when I was there had a terrible lineup. Victoria and Excellent also had useless lineups. So there were not that many real competitors, and with Macau being the only legal place for mongering in China, the bottleneck mechanics got crazy. It seemed a bit strange that they didn't just try to recruit more optics from Changping when the crackdown there happened. That could have been a goldmine for the Macau scene.

You remember Macau during it's golden years. When comparing to now it's horrible. Less girls, higher prices, more attitude, worse service. I don't recommend Macau anymore. Better off going to Japan, Kuala Lumpur, Indonesia, Thailand, etc. Yes. Japan is now on par for prices to Macau. It's that bad.

I took a friend a tour of the Macau saunas and I was disgusted that I wasted his time. This was back in December.

I don't know if I was there during its golden years. I heard back then that it was even better before 2008 when a session cost 800 mop, and even better than that before the restriction was lifted (was that in 2002?) when all the girls were from Macau itself. But in 2011-2014 it was still pretty good I felt. But in 2014 I did feel the lineups had started to deteriorate. Especially at 18 sauna perhaps. Which had by far the best variety in 2011-2013.

So how bad are the prices now?

OK, it has been three and a half years since I was in Macau now. I used to go to Macau 3-4 times a year for 3-4 years, and have been to 9 different saunas like 18, Emperor, Rio, Sanado (closed now), East Spa, Familia Nobre, Golden Sauna, Excellent Sauna and Victoria Sauna. Plus the bowls like D1, D2 and Hou Va. And additional strip clubs and other things like the racetrack and some smaller bars with prostitutes.

But how is the current pricing at the main saunas now? I am thinking of 18, Emperor, FN, East Spa and now also East Castle Spa. The price for a room session. Entry fees. And for the thigh massages / body scrub etc.

I didn't like Rio since most girls there were either too tall or had had facial surgery messing up their natural looks. Is it still like this there?

[UShobbyist]

All of the providers I chose in Darling1 (about 10 visits) allowed CIM.

Thank you very much for your reply. Are those providers Chinese girls? Did you tell them what you wanted before you went to the rooms with them?
