Let me list down the pros and cons of both spa in the following aspects of pre-covid and post covid reopening
1. Spa facilities
HV spa slightly have the edge in terms of maintenance cleanliness and the larger floor space since it’s launch and opening of Holiday Villa hotel. They did some minor renovation post covid to maintain the standard.
VIP improve post-covid era with their new pool and steam room…pre-covid used to be worse if anyone remember…
2. Food
Both are VIP and HV equally bad. NZ and Amansari spa has the best food during precovid period for JB benchmark gold standard.
HV spa used to be quite decent with their food and free flow of chicken chop but standard has dropped with the change of management team.
3. OKT services
Both spa seem to have equal number of staff running the entire operation with VIP having more demand coming in since the reopening due their decent quantities of stock to satisfy the pent up syt cravings from both sides of the border.
However, VIP OKTs are definitely more proactive and service oriented with their mirroring system and telegram group for regulars.
4. FL Quality & Quantities
VIP spa have a platoon of 40-50 FLs and supply is still recovering to their pre-covid strength but quality still need to improve though
HV spa have lesser stock but cover up the shortfall with some gems and more varieties in local ckt and ML clean massage
5. Pricing
248 and 288 for normal and water bed
238 for Viet/thai and 268 for local ckt
6. Payment mode
Cash only for VIP spa, credit card/bank transfer or touch and go payment available for HV spa
