Toccare SPAmpering Experience + Blog Giveaway

After a stressful day at work, or an exhausting shopping trip, there's no better way to relieve stress, relax and renew than going to a day spa, and that's what they're really here for...

Having a relaxing spa treatment isn't just for pampering oneself but it also translates to a lot of health benefits.  In one study of more than 3,300 Japanese government workers, frequency of spa use was linked to better physical and mental health, including better quality sleep and fewer sick days. In a similar study on German data conducted by researchers from Florida State University and George Mason University, spa therapy reduced both absenteeism from work and hospitalizations. (source: webmd.com)  It improves the circulation of the blood, and is effective in pain management in persons with arthritis, headaches and muscle spasms.

During a massage, lymph flow is stimulated thereby enhancing your immune system. Lymph flow is the body's natural defense system and proper flow draws out metabolic waste, excess water, toxins and bacteria from your muscle tissue. As a result, swelling and soreness in your muscles are reduced and the removal of bacteria strengthens your ability to fight off disease. (Read more: livestrong.com)

But are all spa treatments equal?  And, how do you choose the right spa?

Let me tell you about Toccare Spa.

Once you walk into the reception area, are you greeted with a smile...check!
The first rule is the cleanliness of the place, it should be spotlessly clean..
Let us check the corridors...

waiting area...
Foot spa area...

Washroom counters....

Sauna...
Sauna rooms for men and women...

Ladies' jacuzzi...
Shower rooms...

Wash area...
Men's locker room....

men's and ladies' common treatment areas....


Locker rooms....

They all have conformed to my cleanliness standards, so...check!

But of course, the most important thing is....the Spa Experience!

Toccare means "touch" in Italian. Toccare Spa will definitely touch your senses....

Sense of Smell:  Choose what scent you want for your room.  Special scents are used to enhance the tension-relieving process as they help you rejuvenate and relax. 
Sense of Hearing:  What type of music do you want during the treatment...jazz? classical?
Sense of Touch:   A touch is a key element to help us relax and feel better.  It's the therapist who makes or breaks your spa experience. The great thing is .... their therapist is really really good! 


Sense of Sight:  Each room is uniquely designed based on gem stones, which have corresponding healing properties...
 The Amethyst Room...

 The Citrine Room...

 Black Onyx Room...


And last but not the least, the Sense of Taste:
Feel heathy. Eat healthy. Satisfy your craving with low-fat yet tasteful dishes especially made to complement your spa experience. Set menus and daily specials are created by Azzuro Restaurant Chefs.


All these made our spa experience truly awesome...actually one of the best we've ever tried! A great pampering experience like no other!  And, this is what you call "sulit" to one's wallet...getting what you have paid for, and more! So, our verdict for the Spa Experience - double check!

Tocarre Spa also offers Bridal Shower party packages.  You can also buy Spa GC's, a great gift to your loved ones, don't you think so?

Tocarre Spa located at the 4th floor of Best Western Antel Spa Suites, Antel Lifestyle City, Makati Avenue Makati City.  For reservations, you can call them at 555-1232 or 927-7686556.
