First, a warning! This is a long review. But I promise the long read will be worth it. And, at the…read moreend of it you will know how to get the most out of this place. The basics: ME: a person with horrible posture who spends 40-60 hours-a-week looking at a computer screen or walking around with a heavy camera rig strapped to my body. I've been in physical therapy for both a bad knee and excruciating shoulder pain. THIS PLACE: recommended by two colleagues, one a Hong Kong resident, the other a frequent visitor to the city. THINGS TO KNOW: This place is open 12:00PM to 6:00AM. Men and women are on two separate floors. They take credit cards and you can add the tip to the credit card. You can order food and drink if you choose. The location is fitted with a sauna and a steam room. The bathroom has all the toiletries needed to shower and get ready after your massage. The lockers are programmed to open with a key and a remote button sequentially for added safety. I had two massages here, one week apart: FIRST: 90-minute full body massage, priced higher because it was before 10:00PM. HK$596 = US$77 (with tax and tip) SECOND: 45-minute full body massage, priced lower because it was after 10:00PM. HK$340 = US$44 (with tax and tip) Both massages started with a middle-aged female masseuse in a pink uniform climbing up on my back and walking all over it. Both of them asked me if I wanted it soft or hard. In both instances I said hard. They both seemed to know what my problem areas were because both of them immediately honed in on my neck and shoulder blades. From here on, my description is for the first, longer massage -- As my masseuse worked one foot over my entire back while using the other for balance, I felt individual discs in my spine click back into place. Halfway through the session, she piled a heap of warm towels over my back to keep it relaxed before sitting down to work out the knots in my feet. Then she asked me to turn over and continued to massage my legs, my arms and finally my scalp. When the massage was over, she smiled sweetly and said, "You like massage. You give good tip." After that she led me back to the shower area where I first went to the sauna and then took a shower. When all was said and done, I tipped her more than 20% because she did a fantastic job. At this point if you're wondering why I gave Sunny Paradise Sauna four instead of five stars, let me explain. My second massage was similar to my first one, but maybe not as hard. She still massaged my whole body but because it was the shorter session, I didn't get my foot or my scalped massaged for 10 minutes each. The reason why this place isn't getting top marks is because my second masseuse was very pushy about the tip and would not let me exit the room without a tip sheet where she had marked up what the tip should be. That annoyed me off a little. Even though my second massage wasn't as fantastic as the first one, I would have tipped her the same percentage as the first masseuse if she hadn't been so aggressive. All that said, if I ever return to Hong Kong, I will most definitely revisit this place and I highly recommend it. So here are my tips on conquering this place: - Go after 10:00PM for the cheaper rates. - Bring as little stuff with you as possible so you don't have to lug back things after all the kinks in your body have been worked out. - Locate the price list on display and show the black-and-white uniform clad hostess the session you want. - Take a photo of the price list. - Splurge and get the 90-minute massage; it's worth the HK$596 = US$77 (with tax and tip). - As soon as you meet the masseuse, say "90-minute full body massage" and show her the item on the photo you took. - Specify whether you want a soft or a hard massage. - If you have problem areas and want to absolutely make sure she doesn't miss them, point them out. - If you have the misfortune of getting a pushy masseuse who wants to give you a marked up tip sheet, just take it. When you're at the counter, you can tell them what tip you want to add. Website: http://sunnyparadise.iyp.hk/

Basically a fee for "service" type of place. If it is what you are looking for it is probably one of the best in Hong Kong. My friend is loaded and wouldn't settle for less than the best even in this. So for that reason I'm sure it is one of the best, just not for me, I will take a pass.

After all, we were in Hong Kong and both about to get on long-haul flights back to San Francisco and London. We were in need of some kneading! Happy Foot was near our hotel and easily found on the Yelp app. We strolled in on Thursday around 17:00 and had no problems being seen immediately. We were sat next to one another and our masseuses got right to work. Seventy-five minutes later we were in much better shape than when we walked in! Without a doubt Happy Foot provided the most thorough massage I've had whilst sitting in a chair. I was very pleased with the 50 minute foot / 25 minute shoulder package - at less than HK$300 ($38) it's great value.

If I had to have one complaint I would say that they don't do extractions with a blackhead pin- maybe it's just me but I do live for that pain :-p Bottomline: eyeliner embroidery (ask for Ms. Ting), the clean and bright environment, and the no-sell policy.

Greeted by a soft spoken gentleman with a price list of menu ranging from $260 - $500 massage selections. We selected $260 that has 50 minutes foot massage and 10 minutes for neck and shoulder. The place is small, but all chairs (6 -8) were occupied. In the back, there are probably two massage tables for full body massage. We waited awhile for them to call in two masseurs. Al least the place has free wifi we could use while waiting. The massage was excellent, she did not ask for the strength but it was powerful enough that I wanted to scream. It felted like a deep pressure massage from neck, should and leg that sent tingling sensation to all nerves. It is worth of return when time permits and highly recommended.
