My experience at Sunrise Spa
It's been quite some time since I last went to an MP. Nevertheless after watching a movie with a friend yesterday (American Assassin – do check it out, a good flick), I thought of giving it a shot just to see how things were.
So we checked up about five places, one just opposite the Cargills bank, the others being Sunrise Spa, Wasana Spa and three other spa's all in and around Colpetty and Bambalapitiya.
Suffice to say, most of the selection didn't seem attractive at Wasana and the other three spa's I mentioned (one of them had a decent looking therapist but I had a friend tag along as well and we had to give it up because of that).
Anyways before I go any further let me add that I had low expectations (this is based on my prior experiences years back). A bit of hesitation on my part cost me my first choice (a guy, hopefully a gentlemen in his sixties chose her a split second before I made my decision).
Nevertheless, I picked another girl, slim body type (this is at Sunrise BTW) and apparently just like the three other places, seems to charge Rs. 2000 as their entrance fees (with one thai only spa quoting rates from 6 k to 13 k), which I feel is a bit too much.
Anyways the rooms are partitioned and has only a curtain covering it with no attached bathrooms, so just not as private as one would like. The towel and sheet seems to be clean and the bathroom is also alright just that you need to prance to the other side, probably crossing paths with other customers on the way.
The massage was alright and only an HJ offered. I am not that too fond of HJ's but decided to give her a decent tip for her attitude and at least trying to spend around 30-40 minutes providing a decent massage.
Pretty cooperative as well, I got an additional head message, massaged her hands and shoulders as well (workout for me perhaps).
I am curious to see if I would get special attention on a second visit but the entrance fee seems quite exorbitant at 2 k. Some of the reasons that might make me reconsider includes the entrance fee, curtain based separation and a common two bathroom for the five or six partitions available.
Total cost was 2 k (entrance) and 1 k tip for the reasons I have mentioned above.
Just one last piece of advice though, my friend ended up getting a bit of a talkative girl who was demanding in terms of getting a tip and according to him didn't finish the shake in a satisfactory manner so on the flip side, it depends on who you take.
Best to be sober like I did, so you can size up the girls to make a decent first impression on who may or may not be suitable. The one I choose was the only one wearing spectacles so that should make it easier for you should you decide to go with this choice of mine.
I am thinking of visiting a few more spas just for fun. I plan to go solo though, more overhead with friends, LOL.
