Butuan
City in Agusan del Norte is known as one of the gateways to Northern Mindanao and now a progressive city
where more and more investments are starting to flow in and cater the needs of
the increasing population of local and foreign visitors and migrants.
As a
visitor, wandering around Butuan City is quite tiring after historical and
adventurous tours. In my usual routine as a traveler and explorer, I always
look for a spa or a massage center in every place I visit to rejuvenate my tired
leg muscles after hours of walking. With
an unexpected finding fronting Boy’s CafĂ© and Restaurant, I discovered Grand Royal
Spa. Fresh and new to my senses, I wondered if the name fits the services they offered
at a very affordable price based on their advertisement. My curiosity led my
feet to try and test this establishment.

While
waiting for my turn, I enjoyed seeping spa’s free hot signature ginger tea. The
reception area has sufficient couch for clients in queue.
Sitting on the couch,
my eyeballs can’t help but roll over and noticed the good interior design of the
place. The lighting effects are mild and comfy, giving you a warm feeling that
places you in a state of just being at home. Some structures are even uniquely and
environment-friendly created using scrap plywood materials turned into an art
design decoration. That's IMPRESSIVE!
On
the side table of the couch, numerous magazines of different categories are
displayed for clients’ use to make your time occupied. You can also easily
connect to the internet if you are carrying your laptop or I pad or any Wi-Fi
enabled gadgets without any charge.
As
it was my first visit, I asked the receptionist for the most recommendable
service they are offering and she suggested their most sought after Stone Massage @ Php 400.00 only.
Entering
the facility, I was impressed with the spacious massage room. The partition was somewhat look like twice the size
compared with other massage centers I have tried before in Manila, Davao and Cebu; interesting and a huge leap for a "probincia-city type" of business, making it look more competitive!
The massage table is covered with clean white cloth
and extra sheet accentuated with traditional design reflecting the culture of
Butuan. There was also a side table where you can place your belongings while
receiving the relaxing spa services.
It
was my first time to experience Stone Massage and I have no idea about the
method or routine aside from the fact that it will utilize some stones to
facilitate the service.
At the start of the session, I received the usual hard
massage the way I requested it, then after a minute, the attendant placed a
number of fist sized pre-heated volcanic stones on my tired muscles at my back.
It felt a little weird at first but as seconds passed by, the soothing effect
targeted my aching muscles and joints. With every warm hand and heated stone stroke on my body, I felt like my muscles finally found an air
to breathe in and relieved from the strain I put it through. The session lasted for an
hour and it left me longing for more.
For
my verdict on the service, the Grand Royal Spa provided me some kind of a
tailored massage that besieged directly the needs of my aching muscles and joints. With this,
I will surely come back to try their other service packages as soon as I return
to the City of Butuan.
Now my wondering was satisfied as this service oriented spa fits
its name as GRAND and ROYAL.I highly recommend Grand Royal Spa for your relaxing needs on your visit here in Butuan City.

patient feeling better quickly is not only utilizing chiropractic
Toronto care but also making sure that the patient understands the
prevention of their symptoms
