Nice place..tried it in my recent trip too.


I went during their happy hour and get 2 hour of foot reflexology with a 30% discount (from their retail price). Guess what, the price came out to be 182k rupiah for 2 hours too.


Massage was good,and you are right. Its as good as Aiko,hehehe...

There are also some add-ons too which i didnt take up. Not expensive but i just want to give it a try 1st. Their warm pillow is good where i think they put something herbal (and warm) behind my neck.


Overall, i would rate it as good as Aiko (8/10). Just one little thing tho, they no longer have their cupping service. This place is also quite crowded with Singaporean tourists too.

As for Aiko, i was there and i happened to be in the same room as one of the auntie tourist who was deprive of their 30% discount from the 170k rupiah foot reflexology. The cashier on duty that morning has every intention to overcharge them (there was 5 uncles and aunties) by NOT telling them its happy hour during their payment before massage starts.

She also reviewed to me that Universal Massage across the road of a2 food court was pretty good too. And Reborn was a complete disappointment as the lady therapist who didnt provide auntie's expected kind of service was "demanding" for a 50k rupiah tipping when she was given 20k rupiah.

We exchanged some information on MPs, food places and i recommended her Tui Na MP to them whom they hasnt tried,hehehe...

I also tried this place called Rejuv-a and even tho pricing was pretty competitive, would definitely NOT returning to massage again.


Not only was this place pretty crowded, its also quite rundown. Massage therapist during foot reflexology focus more on my shin and upper leg area rather than my foot itself. 1.5 hour of foot reflexology but both my foot area gets only 5 mins of her massage each. Imagine this, 90 mins of foot massage, but my foot only get 10 mins massage,hehehe...

When i have to tell her at least 5 times to go easy on her massage strength, she has already failed. Not forgetting before the massage starts, i told the therapist NOT to massage a certain area of my leg whereby i have some injuries before, and thrice she hits that area.

Will be looking to try out new places over time,hehehe...above were just a small portion of my massage session,mainly just on foot reflexology in my November 2019 trip.

Aiko at penuin Pertamina petrol station is also good (just like the one in a2). Tui Na just as good but with more different variety of massage and types of service to choose from. Price wise on the whole was pretty similar.
