Hotspring Massages, An Old Traditional Way to Relaxation

During my last day at work last Saturday, Feb.28th, 2010, 2 of my colleagues, (Jyz, Grace and myself , but we were supposed to be 4 but Chesca, our Fashion Designer friend, didn't come with us since she also because had to catch up on her deadline on a project related to her business), went to our long planned "Stress-release treament" after those irregular work skeds and the stressful long hours of sitting position, and went to Cuyab Resort of Pansol, Laguna. I shared this wonderful "massaging" experience with them that I had a couple of years ago when my neighbors and I went to the same place. I told them that they would be experiencing a different type of relaxing treatment once we go there. We were all so excited after the shift was over since we know that not only it will be a rest day for both of them but it will be a happy experience as well. First we went to Jyz's house to eat a very sumptous lunch (THANKS, Mrs. Fainsan! The food were healthy and yummy!!!). We then travelled to Pansol commuting all the way. We arrived there in Cuyab Resort at 4PM and we immediately asked if they are still offering massages and they said yes. Once we were there in the pool, the massagers came and massaged Jyz and Grace first while I enjoyed the hot water of the pool. Then it was my turn... I too enjoyed like they did! The massage took about 1 1/2 hours. It was so relaxing! I had fun! And, oh! My stress were indeed relieved! Then my friends asked, what's the difference of being massaged here inside the pools of Cuyab? We were told that if you go to the spas everywhere, they use different oils and scents then after which, can only take a bath the following day because the nerves and the bloodstreams of your body needs to rest after being awakened from stress. While if you come over to their place, aside from enjoying the sights while traveling to the province of Laguna in Pansol, you will also enjoy swimming on the natural spring water of Mt. Maria Makiling and off course, the "natural" way of being soaked in running hot spring water with the help of their baby oils alone. You won't need to wait for tomorrow to take bath again because after the massage and after a few hours enjoying the swim, you can directly take a bath once again through their showers of natural hot spring water and when you reach home, if you still want to go ahead and take another bath before calling the night off, you still can.

So if you happen to visit the Philippines and you are going to take a dip in either Pansol or Los Banos' pools, asked to have this experience as well. By the way, they had been doing this since the early 60's and some of the original massagers are still there and they are very good! Tah-tah!!! Til my next escapade!!!
