HAPPY Z TRAVELS: Ace Water Spa


A refreshing, relaxing and a bit itchy experience at Ace Water Spa. I’ve wanted to try Ace Water Spa with Jai ever since, even before they opened the Kapitolyo branch. So when I saw a deal from Cash Cash Pinoy I immediately grabbed it and bought two vouchers for the price of one.

Later this afternoon, we headed off to Ace. We arrived around past 12 already and there were a handful of guests that time but not too crowded, you still get to enjoy the facilities. There is a dedicated line for voucher holders; we were given two keys for our lockers, separate wash areas for men and women. You are asked to surrender your stub and leave your slippers upon entering and take a shower before dipping in the pool.

The facilities were clean and well maintained. The wash area was clean and complete with bath essentials, hair dryers and slippers. The staff even gives you a swimming cap that you can use for free which is required by Ace Water Spa.  Jai even mentioned that the amount of chlorine was just right and not too strong on the skin. I had free swimming lessons from Jai too.

We tried all of the different massages and pools. Each jet massage system will focus on a particular part of the body; just press the dedicated button per massage and presto massage heaven. The only issue is that I felt itchy after every jet massage, it maybe because of the pressure concentrating on one area, well I’m not really sure.

Hydro Therapy massage alleviates tension, stiffness and muscle pains. You can really opt for this kind of massage system if you’re the ticklish type and wouldn’t want others touching you.

I love dipping in the hot herbal pools and plunging into the freezing water after. My favorite herbal pool is Lavender 40 Degrees Celsius and the Mint for Jai which is 36 Degrees Celsius. You should rest your nape on a cold metal pillow bar when dipping in the herbal pool to keep your temperature from rising up. Staying in the sauna and steam after a swim is divine, a sweat all you can hub, feel the toxins leaving your body.

A fitted swimsuit is required for women while trunks for men to withstand the water pressure plus a swimming cap to prevent hair from falling into the pool. Swimsuit rental costs P200.00 for women and P100.00 for men.

Hungry? Ace Water Spa prohibits guests from bringing food but they have a café where you can enjoy their buffet offerings for P450 on weekdays and P550.00 on weekends.

Overall, a new experience shared with Jai. We can’t wait for another deal from Ace and bring tita weng (jai’s mom). The regular rate for adults is P550.00 for 4 hours and P250.00 for kids below 4 ft.

The spa is located at United corner st. Brixton st. near Pioneer Center Pasig City. Open from 6am – 10pm (Sundays to Thursdays) and 6am – 11pm (Fridays to Saturdays).
