Getting a Massage at GLOW by Excelsior | Review

Self-care is a form of self-love. Every once in a while, it’s nice to treat oneself to a day of relaxation. Depending on your interest, this could mean different things. To some, enjoying a lunch buffet is relaxing (food is life!). And to others, it can be going to the salon, shopping, or getting a massage.

Recently, I went for the latter and enjoyed it. Here's how it went:

The Establishment | GLOW by Excelsior

GLOW by Excelsior is a day spa conveniently located on the 3rd floor of Robinsons Galleria (Wellness Zone). They also have a spot in SM North Edsa, but I went to this branch since it’s closer to home and is less populated. It’s accessible to those coming from Pasig, Mandaluyong, or Quezon City.

Services & Rates

As much as I wanted to include the complete list of rates here, they had an entire book for it, and obviously, the pages were too many to capture. I was able to take two photos, though. Here it is, for reference:

GLOW offers a wide array of services, but I opted for the whole-body massage, which was worth it (so calming).

How to Book

They follow a by-appointment basis, so it is advisable to call or text ahead of time if you’re planning for a spa day, but if they happen to have available slots on your preferred date, they will accommodate.

The Experience

You can come ten minutes before your booking to prepare for your session. Service water is available to keep you hydrated throughout your stay.

The attendant will first take you to your area, where you can change into your robe and slippers. After that, you can go to the bathroom and enjoy the sauna. For around 15-18 minutes, you can detoxify and calm your mind.

Once you finish with the sauna, you can shower (if you like) before proceeding with the whole body massage. If you prefer a certain massage pressure, just let the masseuse know.

I left the place feeling rejuvenated. I highly recommend this establishment to those who want to pamper themselves after a long week.

Others:

• Price: ₱750.00

• The whole body massage lasts for around an hour;

• Towels, comb, soap, body wash, and shampoo are available;

• The bathroom is tidy;

• You have a personal locker in which you can keep your belongings. It comes with a key/bracelet that you can take with you if you go to the bathroom;

• Gift certificates are available.
