Am a frequent chiong-er in Jakarta (and visited joints like Delta Spa there) and the experience I had was not as bad as what the brothers here had experienced and shared.

Therefore, pardon me for being hand and leg itchy (I went to patronize them yesterday in Batam - to see how bad they really are and indeed really bad.)

As usual, went to the counter to get a number tag for the locker and used their Jacuzzi and Sauna facilities first (the sauna was not working well as it wasn't hot enough to let you sweat quickly). After using the facilities, I went up to level 2 and was immediately greeted by a GRO.

Sat down and she asked if I would like to order a drink (ordered a Pokari Sweat). She also tried to upsell the food menu to me which I politely rejected. I wanted the cheapest room but she said is not available and only the suite is available. (I heard from my friends before they sometimes would purposely like not available so you would upgrade to the higher priced rooms). I told the GRO I have time and can wait, therefore waited for 1 hour before entering the massage room. Anyway, got the 3 sessions (which will include the HJ)

Went to the room, got a girl (looks is about 5.5/10). I regret speaking Bahasa to them (it was better to let them have the impression that you don't know even if you know). I will share why later.

Entered the room, within 10 minutes of the massage, asked me why I don't want to upgrade to the suite room (I said I have no reason for not wanting it, I just do not want). 10 minutes later, asked me if I would like to try their hot stone for free (many brothers had shared in the end, they will still charge to your bill). I said no, I do not want. Again ask me why I do not want. My reply as usual (no reason).

Another 20 minutes later, asked if I would like to try ear waxing (of course it is not for free, but she did not highlight it, so again I said no thank you).

Can sense she became abit pissed after trying to upsell to me 3 times within 40 minutes of the massage and all failed.

After an hour of massage, she asked if she can rest for 5 minutes as she was very tired and have not eaten since morning (I asked her if that was my problem). She continue to massage anyway.

Ended the whole thing with a decent HJ and towards the end, asked if I can buy her a meal in the Spa as she has not eaten. (again I said no).

Before I left, she asked me for a TIP and I simply told her I am paying by card and have no more rupiah left with me.

Said Bye Bye to her.

In this 2 hours massage, I was asked so many questions here and there and it really pissed me off. Trying too hard to upsell so many things to the customer.

Therefore, I also endorsed the brother's blacklisting of Delta Spa in Batam.
