We tried having massage during our stay.Nothing beats a good massage treatment at night when you are about to retire for a relaxing sleep.
I looked at their spa menu and I was surprised at the many massage type they offer.Other than the usual Thai,Swedish,Shaitsu massage,they also have Hilot,Hawaiian lomi-lomi,Javanese Signature,African Khanya Energy Balance Massage etc etc.Wow,it's like looking at a food menu with many new things to try.Wished I could try all of them at the same time.Kidding.
My wife and I settled for Indonesian Massage--both our first time to experience such treatment.

INSIDE ALEGRE SPA
The Spa at Alegre is relatively small with only two rooms with two beds
each.Only four people could therefore be accommodated at the same
time.It is best if you make reservations beforehand to ensure you have
your much needed massage.Watch for it though,they are constructing a
separate section specifically for the Spa.A lot of good things are
coming to Alegre.
The interior is dimly lit to ensure the most intimate and comfortable massage experience.One can either shower in their room or at the Spa.For those who love taking the Sauna before having a massage,Turkish Sauna is available.Reminds me of the Turkish Sauna at Matabungkay Beach Hotel which I haven't blogged about yet.

We were asked to change our clothing and put on a disposable
underwear.Then there's the robe which has 'batik' print (if I am not
mistaken) or something similar to that effect.
I love the massage bed.The cushion is very comfortable and the bed
itself is made specifically for massage.It's sturdy so you wouldn't hear
any cranks every time the masseur push your body.The cranky noise could
get annoying specially if you feel like napping while having your
treatment.
I would also like to mention the towel they are using.They use this big towel similar to beach towels (less the stripes or muliti-colors) and it feels heavy so it comfortably hugs the body.At one point when the towel was laid to cover my upper body,I felt as if it was pressing me tightly on the bed that it felt comfortable indeed.It also insulates the body against the air conditioning in the room.

THE MASSAGE BED
The masseur assigned to me was really good.He was able to hit the
important pressure points especially on my back.He constantly asked me
if he was applying the proper pressure.

INDONESIAN MASSAGE (60 mins)
Indonesia is home to many world’s best spas, mixing the modern and ancient art of Balinese and Javanese traditional treatments. Discover more comfort and relaxation using aromatic oils, starting from the feet and ending at the head using a variety of massage strokes.
I noticed that Indonesian Massage is similar to hilot.Characterized by
short, strong strokes.The difference is that in Hilot,heated banana
leaves are applied on certain spots especially at the back.Since there's
no need for any application,like the banana leaves, the whole of
60minutes is focused on the massage itself.That translates to more
strokes.Love that!
Tipping is optional.Alegre Beach Resort adheres to non-cash transactions
on services within the resort,say you order something in the resto,or
when you have a massage.They just ask you to sign something and you will
have to pay for all of it before you check out.They ask for a deposit
of 3,000php upon checkin.Should you decide to give a tip to your
masseur,they will ask you to sign how much and pay it later on the the
front desk.Makes business transactions clean and convenient.
