Spa Rael Singapore Review

Bought a Groupon voucher for a 120 min full body scrub and massage for two. Phone call to make an appointment was without hassle, even though we are using voucher.  My hubby and I booked a slot on 11 Apr, Friday, 11.30 am and requested for couple room.

Upon arrival, the receptionist greeted us and asked if we wanted green tea or ginger tea. We were asked to fill in a form, after which, we were led to the therapy room and began with the scrub.  I am relieve that the 120 min do not include irritating consultation time.

I felt that we were short-changed for the scrub, as it was not exactly 30 min. Rather, it consisted of 20 min scrub and 10 min shower time.  As there was no clock on the wall, I could not tell if it was exactly 20 min. But I felt it was shorter than that.

Although there is a Jacuzzi tub in the couple room, we did not get to soak in it, because we were only given 10 min of shower time before the massage started.  I did turn the tap on, but the hot water was not hot enough, and there wasn't enough time to fill the jacuzzi half full.  On a positive note, the couple room is very spacious.

The massage was decent. How good a spa is generally depends on how good the massage therapist is. At the end of the session, we were persuaded to sign a package.  Initially, we were offered 6 sessions at $720. We declined a few times and the sales girl allowed us to make the payment of $38 for couple room usage. At the cashier, she re-offered us a cheaper package.  We declined her offer and negotiated for a better deal that consists of 120 min instead of just 60 min. Reluctant at first, she returned after checking with her Manager, and accepted our deal.  My advise is, not to accept their initial offer, which is often high priced. If you are keen, keep negotiating for a lower package with longer treatment time.  Just pretend to walk away, and they will make a last minute offer.

We made a purchase of 4 sessions, and the sales person waived the $38 couple room charge. It is not bad a deal, considering that per session is 120 min, and the spa environment is clean, room is spacious.  There will not be any charge for couple room for future booking too.  There is no expiry date and is transferable, which means, I can bring my mother there.
