The Windsor Atlantica Spa
Just want to share my experience of the spa that is part of the Windsor Atlantica hotel. For those who don't know it is situated one block from Mab's. I usually go there Sunday afternoons when I want to treat myself good and Sundays are always a good day to go there and there are usually not more than a couple of visitors in total. The thing about the spa in Windsor Atlantica is that is open for anybody to use and this is unusual. I have been calling most of the bigger hotels in Copacabana to ask if it is possible to come and use their spa's and the answer has almost always been no. Hotel spa's are for hotel guests.
In the past the price for using the spa was only 50 Reais but now they raised the entrance to 75 Reais which still is good. 15% tax is added to this and it is the same for treatments. The spa has two different saunas (dry and wet) and two jacuzzis and a relaxing area. The environment in the spa is very calm and relaxing. And the main reason that I came to think about making this post and recommend the Windsor Spa is because of the massage that can be had there. It is really professional! I have been trying massages in many places (around the world) but the massage that they do in the Windsor Spa is really first class. It is a kind of massage that gets you very much relaxed and it is so good. The price for a 30 minute back massage is 165 Reais and the use of the spa is included in this price. A full body massage is 265 Reais (50 minutes). And besides from different kinds of massages they also offer all other kinds of treatments.
Once I took a girl there and she had a massage and me as well. It was a great afternoon with massage, jacuzzi, sauna and we also enjoyed the view from the terrace on the top floor. The use of the pool on the terrace is not included in the spa visit but it is possible to go up there to have a look and a bell boy will be following. The spa visit was very appreciated by the girl that I took there. Personally I enjoy spa's like this and a good and professional massage once in a while and the Windsor Spa is an excellent choice for this. And if anyone else has a good recommendation for a professional massage or a nice spa I would like to hear about it, so please tell!
When visiting Mab's some girls will always say something like: You and me go to your apartment, I will do a good massage and we will make love. I do take some of the girls for sex but I never believed that any of them would be qualified to give a really good massage so that is probably best to be had in other places. I am all ears to learn to know where else to go for a really good massage. It is nice with variation.

First Timer to Rio. Requesting help
Hello brothers,
I am visiting Rio for the first time on this Friday (14/10) all by myself. I am a senior member who has experience in Asia, Colombia, and Costa Rica.
I been reading the forum for the last few days. I have a list of places to visit but I couldn't get the addresses. The metro system seems little confusing for me. I like to know 4 or 5 mist visit playgrounds and addresses. Also, please DM me if any experienced member will be in Rio during my visit. I really can use a wingman or even get some wisdom over few drinks. I am staying in an apartment in Copa.
Thank you,
Kutz
