Balay Hilom Spa

As I entered the spa house, the first thing I observed was the bahay kubo style under the dim lights. It was partnered with a relaxing music which is perfect for anyone looking for comfort and refreshment. In my honest opinion, I always get a massage from on-call massage therapists, hence, that was the first time I ever entered a spa house. Despite my lack of knowledge and experience with spas, I did not allow this to weigh my judgement towards a place. I searched and asked for opinions from my friends, letting them guide me through so I could provide the right expectation and review.

I was welcomed with a nice cup of tea and in a few moments after, the therapists brought barrels with soap and water inside to soak our feet with. It’s really nice and relaxing before actually having the massage. By the way, you should be looking forward for the tea! I personally liked it so much!

Judging from the bahay kubo style from the outside, the rooms looked like the way I expected it to be. Everything was just nice and reminds me so much of my grandparents in our province.
