It is better to call for reservation a day before going to Royal Oasis because I have witnessed a few turn downs to walk-in clients. They only have 8 massage beds and 5 lazy boys. The place is pretty cozy and they prioritize reservations. Also, they send a text reminder for your reservation and they only have 10-min grace period. The slot will be given to other guests if you fail to show up on the reserved time.
Upon entering Royal Oasis, it already gives a sense of escape because of the ambiance inside, given that it is located on the side of a highway. The lights are dim, very clean, it smells really nice and you can hear a relaxing music and flowing water in the background. The receptionist greets you and calls the masseuse who will attend to you while you wait on their cozy sofa.
They call the customer in by twos because they only have 2 sinks for washing the feet. They also use foot scrub for cleaning, which is different from the other spas I have tried. After washing, they put on white slippers to your feet and direct you to your massage bed or lazy boy depending on what massage you are getting.
I have tried their Thai and Swedish massages and both are really good. This time I asked for 1hr Thai massage with 30 minute foot massage. So after washing my feet, they led me to the lazy boy and the ‘ate’ gave me a blanket and placed hot beans around my neck. She started the foot massage and ang sarap, literal! The pressure and the knead was just right. When she was massaging my foot, I can feel tingling sensations from the nerves in my brain and I really like it.
After the foot massage, she guided me to my massage bed. She asked me if we will focus on my back and I just nodded as I am still high from the foot massage. So I went in and changed my clothes to their PJs. While I was waiting for my ‘ate’ I lay down on my back since I know that Thai massage starts in that position. I was surprised when she asked to turn around and lay on my stomach. She started by placing the hot beans on my spine and she stepped and stayed on my sole. That’s when I realized that it was a different approach.
The last time I had the Thai massage there, it was the same as the ones in Nuat Thai and Tonton’s. So now they have a different sequence (I think that’s what it’s called) for their Thai massage and it is definitely better than the usual. The pressing was better and it had more time massaging the back and eliminating the “lamig”.
The massage in Royal Oasis waas so good in a sense that the “ate” carefully repositioned my body parts during stretching and was not rushing, literally. There was even a time I felt that their 1 hour was so long. Also, their pressing was done slowly and smoothly especially in removing the “lamig” so as not to stress the back so much. It was very effective and downright relaxing.
After the oh so good massage, the “ate” asked me to just rest while she gets a hot towel. She also asked me if I wanted tea or water. I chose water and served it at the reception area. I gave her a tip which is due to her work.
Aside from the good massage, I like how Royal Oasis is just quiet. You can only hear the relaxing music playing in the background and the flowing water from their water fountain. I never heard any conversation from the therapists except when they greet their customers. From all of the massage spas I have been to, I am very impressed with the management on how they are able to create a workplace for their employees where all of them are dedicated with what they do and consistently deliver an excellent service. The relaxation is not limited on the massage itself but it’s the whole experience while inside Royal Oasis.
With this, it had been my go-to spa whenever I am on a budget and cannot afford Wensha. Hehe. (My Wensha Pasay Renovated post). Royal Oasis is located in Commonwealth Extension, QC. They are open every day from 2pm to 1am. North People must try it!
