Frequently Asked Questions
How to Book Your Massage
Everything you need to know before you book
How to Book
For a first-time massage, foot massage or aromatherapy are the most accessible starting points — both are well-tolerated, require minimal decisions, and are easy to communicate about during the session. Book via WhatsApp with your hotel name and preferred time. Mention it's your first massage; the therapist will check in on pressure more frequently and explain each step briefly. Same-day bookings are available with 2 hours notice. A 60-minute session is the right length for a first experience — long enough to feel the benefit, short enough to not be overwhelming.
Timing Your Booking
Evening bookings are the most natural entry point for first-time clients — you're winding down, the pressure to do anything afterward is low, and the relaxation has somewhere to go. A 7 PM or 8 PM session followed by a quiet evening is ideal. Avoid scheduling a first massage immediately before an important meeting or event — there's a post-session adjustment period where some people feel pleasantly drowsy for 20–30 minutes. Foot massage in the late afternoon is a good lower-stakes starting option for anyone unsure about timing.
What to Expect
The therapist arrives, introduces themselves briefly, and asks one or two simple questions about preferences and any areas to avoid — this takes 2–3 minutes. For foot massage, you remain fully clothed (only shoes and socks off). For aromatherapy, you undress to your comfort level under a sheet; only the area being worked is uncovered at any time. You don't need to talk during the session — many clients prefer silence. If the pressure is too much or too little at any point, just say so. Sessions run the full booked time. Payment is cash after; tipping is not required.
“First massage ever. Didn't know what to expect or ask for. The therapist walked me through the options, recommended a 60-minute aromatherapy to start, and checked in throughout. No awkwardness, no pressure. Just a proper first experience that made me understand why people book regularly.”
