El Grande Spa offers what could be the cheapest per hour massage in Cebu city at just php100.00 per hour! You'd have to avail of it between 9am to 5pm though as that's their happy hour rate.
Of course, with the price you pay, expectations should be kept to a minimum. The place isn't the cleanest, nor the brightest. You will be greeted by a receptionist that sometimes could be your masseur too and there's nothing wrong with that if it helps keep the rate down.
The massage area is made up of wooden walls that separates your room from the next one. There is no door, just a flimsy curtain to keep your privacy. The ceiling is bare with iron plumbings in plain view. The massage room is a bit dark and does not have anything to pur your clothes on so you'll have to either settle with the floor or ask them for a hanger. The massage table is sturdy but the linens look worn out and at least the head hole does not smell. The towel isn't the best too as it looks like the ones you buy at php100.00 from the malls.
The massage itself though is very good. I didn't get the name of my masseur but he has a really strong, steady hands. He expertly kneads, glides, and applies the right amount of pressure I felt the stress disolving under his masterful palms.
This place gets a 3 because there are definitely better alternatives in Cebu. For php100.00/hour though, the price is a steal and you'd be crazy not to trt this place out. The trick here is to keep your expectations to a minimum and just have a relaxing time. I recommend that you drop by at least once to experience their services. read more
