Traveling is always accompanied
with aching back and almost paralyzed feet due to excessive wandering. My
latest jaunt to Cotabato City really hit me hard traveling by bus for almost 24
hours coming from the east of Mindanao, Surigao del Sur via Davao City, then
directed my path to Pagadian, Iligan, Cagayan de Oro loop.
Taking a break in Butuan City reminded
me of the 50% off promo of Grand Royal Spa that has been running for almost a
week. I never had a reservation so I tried my luck as a walk in client. Lucky
of me I was entertained by the owner, Mark, as he gave me a spot for a 12mn appointment.
Not bad as it was almost 11pm and timing that I have to leave Butuan by 2am for
my Surigao City adventure with Jeffrey of Traveling Morion.
I had my previous experience in
this spa before, giving a try on their relaxing stone massage. Exploring on
other options, I chose the thermal body massage with foot massage for only Php
420. Secured with my appointment, I waited for only few minutes, sipping on a
hot sweet ginger tea and checking my over flowing unchecked FB messages and
notifications through their free Wi-Fi connection.

On next part of the session I
was introduced to another masseur, Brandon, for my awaited thermal massage. I
never had this, and it was a revealing experience.
Lying on their clean spacious dim yet relaxing ambient room, my attendant placed somewhat a heated bag on my back and on the soles of my feet. Then the attendant slowly pressed harder on the heated bag towards my back. It felt good. I wonder where this spa innovation has been when I needed it the most during my back cracking job in the metro. After few minutes of the thermal session, the attendant shifted to the oil based massage. Hitting my aching pressure points, and stuttering and almost blocked blood pathways, I felt relieved from my previous unending butt eating bus rides and wanderings in the island of Mindanao.

My experience in Grand Royal Spa
Butuan was genuinely refreshing and physically rejuvenating. I could only wish
to take refuge in this spa and have my stressed relieved activities every week.

With your travel-centric ways, you really deserve to have a massage. I've also tried a hot stone massage and its really relaxing and eases the cold in the back.
