    The reviews are quite a few years back. The Spa was previously located in Greenbelt 1 and has…read morerelocated to Greenbelt 3. We visit to get our massage treatments whenever we visit the Philippines. It is a bit pricier than other places but well worth it with the services they offer. With the new location, they only have private rooms for massages. We snooked the premier suite that comes with steam Bath and shower. Our first treatment was Sea salt body scrub to remove the dead skin. Next we had our choice of massage... had the deep tissue and my wife had the Swedish massage. Boy, they are strong. My back was sore and they were able to relieve some of the stiffness from seating. They told me to come back for another round as my back is still stiff and and need another massage. Last was the Thai foot massage (with stick). That as a bit painful... and it's only painful if there is something wrong. In my case, plenty. lol. Fell asleep as they were working on my right foot. That's always a good sign if you feel so relieved from the massage that you fell asleep. Definitely going back. My body was a little sore after but that's also good sign. They do have a service charge when you first pay your bill but you have an option of adding a little tip esp if you like the service you received.

    OMG So, I decided to…read morecheck this place out right before I catch my flight back to California and it WAS amazing. Besides the fact they opened approximately 10 minutes after the hour (Filipino Time), I was greeted promptly, shown the services, and led directly to the men's locker room. The locker room and showers were nice and comfortable. I was then led to the waiting area for my masseuse(s) and drank this awesome tea that I will never forget. The massage was absolutely perfect. I would definitely go here again when I have the opportunity. Also, this place did not seem to need a reservation. Walk-ins welcome.

    To start off: YES that have WIFI…read moreYES they accept Credit Cards YES they allow walk-in's (but reservations highly suggested. I stumbled into I'M Onsen Spa on a Sunday afternoon, hoping to unwind with a reasonably priced massage and a dip in their Onsen. But of course, the universe had other plans. They were fully booked. So, after a few raised eyebrows and some typical Manila hustle, I was left with a couple of choices: 2-hour access to the Onsen, gym, or pool for 1,500 PHP, or a whole damn day of everything for 4,000 PHP. Decisions, decisions. Now, let's be clear: For a city like Manila, this place is a godsend. I'm giving it 3 stars because, let's face it, Manila has a long way to go in the spa game. But in the context of this chaotic, buzzing city, I'd still give it 5 stars. The staff is friendly, the place is clean, and it does what it promises: relaxation in the heart of the madness. Here's the kicker: the Onsen and spa are tucked into a little corner on the second floor. It's essentially open doors, and that's where things get a little... Manila. Picture this: you're soaking in a hot bath, the steam rising from your body, and instead of the serene hum of a quiet retreat, you're assaulted by the honking horns, the screeching motorcycles, and the random guy walking around yelling "Taho Taho!" That's the soundtrack to your Zen moment here. Add to that the thick, greasy smell of gasoline mixed with street food, and you're no longer in a Japanese mineral bath. You're in the middle of a bustling city, and it shows. But hey, that's Manila for you, right? And still, I'll give them credit--those hot springs are crystal clear, odorless, and the temperature almost hits right. There are two baths: a smaller one that leans toward "hot" and a larger one that's more on the lukewarm side. If you've been to an Onsen before, you might feel a little cheated, but it's still a decent soak. The saunas? Well, the dry sauna is a thing of rustic beauty with its curved wood, but don't look too closely. You'll start noticing a few blemishes, a bit of wear and tear. As for the heat, it's intense. I lasted about 45 seconds before I had to throw a bucket of mineral water over my head-- and please don't throw water over those electric heaters. Not coal. It's not the real deal. And then there's the steam sauna. Imagine stepping into a boiling can of Vicks VapoRub. It's pungent. It's almost suffocating. But I'll be honest, it did wonders for my sinuses. If you're looking to clear your head or singe the hairs from your nose, it's the perfect torture. Now, a word of warning: If you're used to a traditional Onsen experience, you might feel like you've wandered into a budget version of the real thing. There are no fancy lotions, no high-end shaving kits, none of the usual spa perks. This place is no-frills. So, if you're expecting luxury or authenticity, bring your own stuff, because you won't find it here. In the end, if you've been to a real Onsen, this place might leave you disappointed. But if you're just looking for a solid spa experience with a touch of something different in the heart of Manila--somewhere between the chaos and the calm--this spot delivers. Just book a massage and get there early. And maybe, just maybe, bring earplugs.

First thing you will noticed is the facility is run down. Inside shower do not have hooks to hang your towel, then other shower heads do not work! Onsen stink and the water makes us itchy. You get charged extra for using new towel. Massage is way over priced for the quality! Therapist is not what i expected. Bed sheets and towels to cover your body are itchy, My massage was not 90 minutes as she did my hot oil while doing the massage and the oil that she put has a horrible smell like an engine oil that has super stinky smell! Facial products are like fr I don't know probably dollar store since it smells so bad as well. Total of that service is not worth it! Staff are all courteous and respectful except the service, products and price is not what you ll expect! 2 massage for 90 minutes, 2 gold facial for 30 minutes and 1 hot oil for 30 minutes for a total of 10,500 pesos! Definitely not worth it!

I'm glad they survived lockdown, and it seems that they've made improvements with the decorations, lighting, and upgrades to the facility. What I use to do with my traveling group was spend 5 hours of 5 different treatments which would normally include a facial, body massage, foot massage, body scrub, mani/pedi and services includes a complimentary dinner buffet! You can also customize your treatment package. After much debate, I was initially too embarrassed to go all bare, a bit too exposing around my friends. Just give in. When in Rome. Plus everyone is doing it! The korean spa's full-body scrub exfoliation will also leave your skin glowing and incredibly soft. I will warn you that when you receive a body massage, you will get complete body stretching at the end, only to find yourself thrown completely up in the air using all your masseuses body strength! My only disappointment's and surprised that the water in the "Hot Tub" was filled with lukewarm water. Top that off with showers that also had lukewarm water as well. Although you're in a tropical climate country, it's a bit refreshing. some may appreciate it. But for most, you'd like to be in a jacuzzi instead. The funniest moment was that my other half's work colleague recognized him as we were in the dining hall! Such a small world!. Located in Pasay City just off of Roxas Blvd near World Trade Center. Very close to Makati and other popular hotels. Good place to visit this while visiting Manila.

    My husband and I visited Wensha on a whim, desperately looking for a place to grab a massage (our…read morehotel spa was packed solid and we were unable to grab a taxi to mall of Asia due to atrocious traffic). Anywho, it worked out in our favor as our massage was AMAZING. It's definitely a no frills spot, and if you can remove any preconceived notions of the gritty facade and weathered interior, you'd be pleasantly surprised. What a gem. We opted for the one hour body massage and were both blown away by the depth of it. I don't know what style massage that was, but DAMN it was good. A mix in of some chiropractic for sure. I've paid far too much for other massages half the quality. So having never navigated this type of facility before (and limited Tagalog under our belt), the staff were very helpful and attentive to our needs. We also received a small sampling of massage oil as well!
