Blue Pearl

[Marilyn]

is this place reputable?
some of the women look extremely hot...how come noone talks about this place?

 

[thelibertines]

Because we are all talked out about it.

It's been reviewed many times. It is considered to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing spas in terms of decor.

 

[Dez]

oops

 

[Montificus]

Unless you have seen one of the mpa's from a different mp you will more than likely be ripped off horrendously, especially if you book for longer sessions(they will try to charge even more for extras if you are there for a 45min or hour session).
Oh, and last but not least dont bother expecting management to back you up if the girl quotes some crazy price.

 

[John K]

so basically its a little shady...ill just stick to SRM thank you.

styles37,

If it is the area that concerns you, Body & Soul is just around the corner on Bridgeland, and Platinum is up off Shepperd Ave.

Otherwise, Blue Pearl is just bad news.

It's worth the risk just to see Heather.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Well... it ain't cheap, that's for sure. We're all in agreement on that. The decor is fabulous and the location convenient.

I've been short changed in time only once on a dozen visits. The quality of attendants overall has been well above average. Book ahead to avoid dissapointment - it can be a busy place.

Reputable?? Nope!

Why?? Well over the past year or so there have been many posts by REPUTABLE (Hey Tinop!) massageplanet.netites that have been ripped off at BP. From time to extras to the service charges on the interac/visa machine. The spa is gorgeous but the service (and the cost of) has been so sporadic that many massageplanet.netites (I'm guessing) don't bother. With many other options in the city, and within close proximity, blowing between $50 and $280 on an expierience that you MIGHT enjoy is pointless. I personnally won't go there again and my advice is that unless you don't mind taking a chance, stay away.

Toke,

Well said.

 

[amz]

Maybe so. But, for what it's worth, in all the times I've been there, I've never had a problem.

Some guys feel ripped off, others enjoy it. Personally I dont have a problem with Blue Pearl. I've been there a few times in the past and loved the facilities.

However on the other hand, several people have indeed felt ripped off. One example was the atm charge in tinop's case, another example was the mgr demanding more money because the session started late. Things like that are not kosher and the owners know it and sometimes don't pay attention to those details.

That being said, you just have to be smart about it when you go in.

1. never use bank cards or credit cards. (I never do)

2. if you find yourself waiting and waiting for more than 10 minutes, put a robe on and notify the mgr that you are still waiting for the mpa. If they try to charge you for more time ask them to call Sal or Diane and explain the situation.

3. if the mpa is not up to your usual standards, thats fine, write a review about it but don't trash them. (this applies to all reviews, not just BP)

Sheik,

I loved the facilities as well. Sal has done a beautiful job with the place. It's too bad his management skills are not as good as his renovation skills.

The time issue, which I wrote about before, is a problem which Sal and Diane refuse to acknowledge. I was a regular customer from the time BP opened and I discussed this with them on a number of ocassions. They refused to budge. I could understand if they had people stacking up in the reception area, and you're taking up a room for an unreasonable period of time, but come on - 10 mins before and 10 mins after the attendant leaves the room is not excessive by any standard - particularly if you want to take a shower after the session.

Another problem that has not been mentioned, but while were on the subject, is them telling you someone is working when you call, and when you arrive they lady is not working. This didn't just happen once or twice, but four times. I have even booked appointments and shown up and then been told the attendant didn't work there anymore. This is a case of bait and switch, hoping that once you're there you will take anyone who is available.

In so far as the up and down prices are concerned, I don't have a problem with attendant's raising their rates - you can always say no thanks. If you pay more than the market rate for a service, then you have no one to blame but yourself.

I'm sure that Sal still has the money rolling in, his location is excellent and the place is nice. Fortunately for the rest of us, there is Body and Soul, Platinum and other places nearby that provide service which is as good or better without all the drama.

All of this BP banter inspired me to visit the web site and browse the providers. HOLY MOTHER OF PEARL - the pictures of Mellisa are stunning. Have any of my fellow massageplanet.netites seen this Spanish beauty?

 

[Binny]

When will they rip out the carpet - carpet i SOOOOOOOO gross, and the main reason i never go there anymore. The pics are all dolled up, some are slightly misleading.


Giselle - awesome hardbody young gal.
Chloe - very nice, older than she appears in the pics though.
Mia - very nice, but a bit distant and mechanical, and fake moaning.


Any reviews about Veronica...i'd like to try Heather, but the carpet ! ugh....shivers.
