OK, so now I have been in two Turkish Baths in my life, but this was the best Turkish Bath I had ever been in. It was HUGE, had a restaurant, dozens of people coming and going and a zillion attendants. The posted prices were slightly higher, but nothing to be concerned with.

I did the usual: steam, sauna, lay out and rest. The rest area was awesome. Long recliners with attendants to cover you with towels. It just kicked ass. I finally wandered over to the massage area. It turned out that I should have set up a scheduled time. It distressed them, but they cut me some slack and assigned me the one girl who was on break. She was about thirty, attractive, and decked out in a white nurse’s outfit (sort of). We go to the massage room (not as private as at Bruce), where she tells me that massages are sold in 30-minute increments. I choose an hour and she goes to town and gives a killer massage. Towards the end of the hour, she is circling towards Mr. Disappointed, and asks if I want a massage there as well. Sure, I say. She tells me that I should tip her. I said of course, without discussing money.

Once the HR and balance of the massage was finished, I put my towel back on and was presented with the slip to sign. I asked what was a fair tip, she looked at me in horror, and was ecstatic when I added $15. After another shower, I got dressed and paid my tab. The cost here, including everything: $55.43.

Went to this place, you canīt miss it, there is a huge sign in front, it is in a swanky area of San Isidro. THIS PLACE IS LEGIT!! unless, I, as usual, screwed something up. But, I donīt think so. Of course, as a Buffalo bills fan, I can handle just about any negative surprise, so thought sure, letīs go. 150 soles for the hour, and really good, but no indication of anything other than a normal massage. I thought such places did not exist in south america....
