InBalance Spa at NOVOTEL MANILA Araneta Center #OnederfulYear #BetterAtOne



I will always remember the big smiles that greeted us upon entering the hotel.
I will always cherish the warm reception we got from the staff. 
I will always miss the comfort and luxury of our room. 
I will always dream about the vip-feel of the premier lounge. 
I will always look forward to the gastronomic experience at the Gourmet Bar, the memorable breakfast at the Food Exchange Manila, the lazy, relaxing moments by the pool at the 6th and the gym sessions too.

Novotel Manila Araneta Center sits at my top 3 best hotel staycations in Metro Manila to date.
I was here again two weeks ago and it was as awesome as ever. Indeed, Novotel Manila is #BetterAtOne!

And the experience was so good during our first stay that I hardly noticed they didn't have Spa. But just like wine that goes better with time, Novotel Manila Araneta Center continues to surprise. They have celebrated their 1st Anniversary last October and along with it the opening of two additional amenities -- the InBalance Spa and Kids Club by Novotel.

I spent most of the night meeting One-derful people and catching up on old acquiantances over a sumptuous dinner at the Pool and Lounge Bar followed by unlimited wine.

InBalance Spa

And just when you think it couldn't get any better than awesome, there are new amenities at Novotel Manila that one will get extra excited about. Other than the gym with its sauna, InBalance Spa is the latest addition to these rejuvenating wellness facilities. I feel privileged to tour around the spa so I would like to share photos here. The place is a little small with only 6 rooms available, (4) single rooms, (1) couple's room and (1) suite room plus another for foot services. That means maximum of 8-10pax at a time. That means the place couldn't go crowded ensuring utmost privacy and serenity. The Spa is brimming with class. Intimately lighted rooms, cozy beds, top-of-the-line service. 

InBalance Spa is operated by no less that Asmara Spa which is one of the leaders in spa operations in the Philippines with branches in some of the best hotels in the country including Marco Polo Ortigas, Manila Peninsula, Solaire and Marco Polo Davao. Best of all, their swedish/combo and siatsu massage for 60 minutes would only nett 1,500.00 pesos. That's a wow for a place this good!

I got busy drinking and meeting friends at night by the Pool and Lounge Bar so I wasn't able to make an appointment for massage so I apologize if I couldn't talk about the quality of mass for now but I am scheduled to go back and try it myself in the next few days

For now, know that InBalance Spa at Novotel Manila Araneta Center is open to accept guests. But if it is Novotel Manila + Amara Spa, it must be good.

UPDATE: January 8, 2017

I was at InBalance Spa Novotel Manila Araneta Center this afternoon with my wife and I treated her a 1-hour InBalance Spa Signature Massage and asked about her experience. She was really please with the facility. The single room she had massage on was so spacious she couldn't believe that the average price for such service is only around 1,500 pesos nett. Spacious, elegant, comfortable bed, closet for important belongings and a private shower too. Her therapist was Jennifer and she was very satisfied with her. She asked for hard pressure and that's what he got. She actually admitted falling asleep a few minutes after the start of the massage which means she really felt relaxed and she trusted her therapist to do the job. At the end of the day, it's that ultimate relaxation that we are after. She went out of the room energized and full of positive energy.


InBalance Spa at Novotel Manila has no designated Facebook page or Instagram account yet.
BOOK AN APPOINTMENT by calling the front desk of Novotel Manila at 02. 990 7888 and ask to connect you to InBalanxce Spa. It's so easy and receptionists at the spa are very friendly.
