Trip Moments Recommendations
Thanks to my St. Gregory Spa Voucher Gift!!!
I received a St. Gregory Spa Voucher for Christmas so it gave me an excuse to schedule a spacation at Parkroyal Collection Pickering 😉 (Because, when I schedule my treatments - usually in the late afternoon - I just sleep afterwards and do nothing! Haha!)
I booked a month ago and availed of the following services:
(1) 90-min Festive Glow (voucher not allowed; on promotion at SGD 198)
(2) 75-min Thalion Facial (SGD 260, voucher allowed)
There were two beds in the room (as you can see from my photos). The first one, where I had my body scrub. The second one, where I had my massage and facial. There was a cabinet where you can place your things and a drawer with lock to keep your valuables. There was also a closed shower area and a jacuzzi/whirlpool bathtub. No sauna in the spa though.
Yvette (if I remember her name correctly), was my very good masseuse. Jasmine, did my facial. Kudos to these ladies, I got my much needed stress-reliever. My last massage was last quarter
of last year so she really had to knead through those knots! haha. Both worked together when I was positioned face up so it’s like getting four hands massage. (Note: If you haven’t tried a four hands massage, please do!!!! It feels wonderful!!) I was asleep (again) before my facial was finished. Something lacking in this spa though - hot towels after the treatment (although my skin didn’t feel too oily after the massage) and offering of tea before or after the treatment. I think this is not usual for St. Gregory’s coz I tried the one at Parkroyal Beach Road and I don’t recall them offering me tea and hot towel as well. Either that, or I was just unfortunate not to be offered those. Oh well, these are points for improvement for them but I will still avail of their services in the future 😊

De Nyuh Spa, Kuta (Bali)
This spa was one of the highly rated spas on TripAdvisor, and I must say the reviews were absolutely spot on. It is located within Grandmas Plus Hotel. Just a note that this hotel is situated along an expressway with the nearest U-turn roundabout being a sizeable distance away, so we had to wait quite a long while for our Grab/Go-Jek drivers to pick us up.
Their packages were designed in a form of a food menu, where we got to choose one treatment from each of the starter, mains and dessert components. That’s 3 treatments in total spanning two hours for the price of IDR225,000 per person (INSANE value!).
After a welcome drink, a cold towel and filling up our preferences forms, we got to select our own massage oil fragrances. Massage was good, towels/linen were hygienic, massage beds were comfortable and not too hard.
To end off the spa experience, the staff served us hot tea with a slice of watermelon. The spa manager came over to ask us whether we were satisfied with the services. We were so impressed with everything that we decided to book a second visit two days later on the spot. Definitely super worth a visit when you’re in Bali!
My overall rating of the experience: 5 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
