Ely Spa questions

**RT Gooch** · #1 (**permalink**) 14/07/08, 07:30:26

Good morning. RT here.

I have a couple of questions about Ely Spa in La Victoria. Perhaps one of our English-speaking local members could lend a hand.

1. It's not really a full-fledged Banos Turcos, right? If I understand correctly, you enter, select your girl, and go to the massage room.

2. Their ads talk about a sauna. Is it a communal one (to be used before your selection and massage), or do they have small ones that you go into with your girl alone?

3. Pricing - If I read the Spanish section correctly, Completo seemed to be a standard 120 Soles. A recent report noted that the forista paid 150 Soles. Was he paying for any extra services (if so, what?), was he just overcharged, or has the price gone up?

4. Can someone explain the house fees?

Well, it was four questions, not a couple. Thanks in advance. Any other insight into the Spa would be appreciated.

Hi RT,

You'll find my remarks if you read "between lines"

Good morning. RT here.

I have a couple of questions about Ely Spa in La Victoria. Perhaps one of our English-speaking local members could lend a hand.

That's mostly correct. They do have a couple of steam rooms, which you can use within your allotted 60 minutes if you pay an extra 10 soles.

2. Their ads talk about a sauna. Is it a communal one (to be used before your selection and massage), or do they have small ones that you go into with your girl alone?
Nope, it's a communal sauna (steam room). As far as I'm aware of, the girl sets up the massage room while you steam yourself for 15 minutes or so.

3. Pricing - If I read the Spanish section correctly, Completo seemed to be a standard 120 Soles. A recent report noted that the forista paid 150 Soles. Was he paying for any extra services (if so, what?), was he just overcharged, or has the price gone up?
I have no direct confirmation, but my understanding is that the aforementioned dude got played.

4. Can someone explain the house fees?
Here we go. Hope my memory does not fail now.

Massage: S/. 30 for 1/2 hour, S/. 40 for 1 hour, S/. 50 for 1 hour plus sauna (steam room, 15 minutes included in the hour).
Additional services: HJ S/. 60, BJ S/. 90, full service S/. 120.

Well, it was four questions, not a couple. Thanks in advance. Any other insight into the Spa would be appreciated.

Good luck. I'll be looking forward to reading your field reports on your next visit.

Thanks. One more:

Tip in the room privately (a la Relax y Vida), or sign a slip and pay at exit (like most other BTs)? Thanks.

Tip in the room privately (a la Relax y Vida) except that it is not a "tip" actually, it is more like a prearranged "fee".

Standard fee is S/.120. The only two girls I like here don't talk money with me, they just take what I give them and pocket it without looking. I follow the R&V rule: Standard tip for standard service, increased tip (up to S/.150) for outstanding service.

Problem is I know them for some time, one of them from the Ying Yang even before I knew of the forum, the other one from R&V (have just re-found her), and both of them always treat me like a king; while, from reports, I know their service is not consistently as good with other clients and one of them is, precisely, the one trying to raise to S/.150 the standard fee.
