China Health Spa

** updated review ** I've been going to China Health Spa aka Fountain Beauty for around 7 years now. I love that you can call up and get emergency massage appointments. I also love the Asian/Oriental styles of massage. Very good masseuses. Friendly staff. This is a no frills service so don't expect spa luxury, but the quality of the massage is great and prices very good. I prefer authenticity over some fancy pants massage place that only offers fluffy Swedish massage.

Used it 3 times till now and the massage is very good, the practicioners are skilled. Their English is not great but if you're patient and kind you can communicate fine, you don't need any more than the basics anyway. Recommended!

Unfortunately I have to say I had a terrible experience at this spa. The masseuse spoke pretty much no English and so before starting asked me no questions on how I would like the massage, which areas to focus on etc, this did however not bother me too much. When she began it was anything but relaxing, 'massaging' me in a very painful and uncomfortable way and I had to ask her to stop a few times as it hurt so much! It felt like she didn't really know what she was doing! When she finally moved onto massaging my back with oil, and not through a towel, she was very fast and vigorous, I tried to tell her I wanted a more slow and relaxing massage (less poking, pinching and hitting) she had no idea what I was saying and had to call in a man from reception, I explained to him and he translated to her, I lay back down ready for my relaxing massage to begin...nope, exactly the same! After massaging my back with oil she got a load of rough paper towel and roughly scrubbed off the excess oil. After she briefly massaged the back of my legs through a towel and pinched my arms a bit, she asked me to turn over and sat me up right, without warning she moved the towel covering my front to put over my back, making my bra fall off which I found quite embarrassing. She then straddled me from behind and put her left leg around my body I'm guessing the start of more pain, this is not something they'd ever do in a Swedish massage and definitely not something I wanted her doing so I told her no, she just massaged me sat upright through the towel for a bit and then told me it was finished to my relief as, I was hating every second of it by now. I asked her if she could ask the mananger to come in pointing at the door and saying "man" so she could understand. When he came in i explained that I was not happy with the massage and he said she could give me an additional 5 minutes more so she could focus on the area she had missed, I definitely did not want the massage for a minute longer, I explained I did not want this and eventually he offered me a 20 minute massage voucher for another visit, I accepted this but now feel I should have pushed for a refund!! After leaving the spa I had a painful and very stiff neck which makes me believe even more she didn't know what she was doing. I have had a lot of Swedish massages and never ever felt to complain before, but I was left really angry that I had wasted money on this painful horrible experience. There a lot of masseuses here so can't speak for the rest of them but I really think their staff need to have a better level of understanding English to ensure the client gets the experience they are looking for!
