Superior massage therapy, one-sixth the price of similar services in your hotel. No "happy" was offered to me when I visited at noon. That's ok: I go to one place for a good massage, and another for good services. Maybe "happy" is more commonly offered later in the day. Or she took a hint when I covered my fireman with the towel when I turned on my back... and he was sleeping.
My masseuse, Joy, was petite, 22, no more than 40kg. She worked on me with hands, elbows, knees, and feet (walked on my back and shoulders). In the darkened rooms, I was completely blind from walking in the bright sun, so I could not see her until the end. She was friendly, pleasant, average looking, and knows how to give a good massage.
I discovered this place from Asian Rain's post ([u]thanks[/u]!) from Dec 17, 2005 (here: [url]http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showpost.php?p=417254&postcount=876[/url]). His post gives more info and a little map. While he says the place is open 24 hours, the sign on the door says noon-4am.
Like Asian Rain suggests, a 100PhP tip will please her (Joy was beaming) if you like the massage. "Happy" may involve a more substantial tip. Even with tip, this place is a steal compared to prices for massage in USA, or even the modern hotels (which cost 1500 for in-room service, three times the price). Chances are it will be better (maybe cheaper) than the massage offered on the street.
