Hi Bros--

I'll be heading out to Macau this Saturday, mostly to hit the casino floors, but am thinking of visiting a sauna for the first time.  I tried to search through the Macau section of the forum and a lot of the information that I'm looking for seems to be pretty old and/or contradictory, so I'm hoping for some accurate, up-to-date info from some helpful bros.

1. Sauna entry fees?
I get that for pretty much all saunas, the entry fee is waived if you get FS, but the furthest I've gone in my punting experience is a few HE massages and I probably won't be partaking in FS on this trip.

According to this thread from 2008(!??!?!), Rio and Excellent saunas waive the entry fee if you get a full body massage.  However, this thread indicates that someone had to pay the entry fee on top of the massage fee.  I'm guessing policies like this can change after 6 years...

So, does anyone have suggestions on which saunas to go to where I won't get charged the entry fee if I don't go FS?  Or if I pre-purchase a non-FS package (if there is such a thing) at Shun Tak, would I avoid the fee?  I'm sure some bros will think it's silly to go all the way to a sauna and not take full advantage of the opportunity, but I'm thinking of enjoying some eye candy plus probably some lounge services and probably a nice long (veggie?) massage.  Which brings me to my next question...

2. Full body veggie massages strictly veggie?
The same thread I referred to earlier also raised the question on if the "veggie" massage was strictly veggie, which two bros disagreed on.

I'm sure the answer to this question varies by sauna, so if any bros are kind enough to offer suggestions re: question 1, if they could answer this question along with it, it would be appreciated.  I guess a follow up to this question would be, if HE is on offer, are all of the hot girls given other roles and the full body massage ladies not of the quality where I'd necessarily want a HE from them?  Should I just get a double (or is it triple) "thigh" massage instead?

Thanks!

1) All Sauna's have different pricing systems, normally without taking full service, you'll normally be expected to pay the minimum SAUNA FEE normally in the 500HK$ region, which gives you all the sauna facilities, hot & cold, steam, jacuzzi's the food and drink....and then you pay for your additional services you partake..i am sure if you chose enough then depending on the mgrs etc they might waive the entrance/minimum fee but i wouldnt count on it

I know that for East, Rio, 18 , East Castle you can buy non full service packages at Shun Tak just explain that you want the minimum package, a happily married friend of mine has accompanied me and a few others a few times to Macau, where he's been happy to enjoy the facilities, get some side services (veggie massage), nails done, whatever while not taking the full service....better control of his willpower than i've ever managed!

From my experiences at 18, Rio, East Spa, have never had an isue with them trying to overcharge me or any of my friends.....at East especially, the mgmt are always quick to confirm with you that you are aware of anything you are being charged for before you partake

2)there's a variety of lounge girls and non full service massage girls, so its up to you ref who you choose etc

I'm all for being prudent with one's $$ but dude, if you're spending money gambling (most likely losing like the rest of us) save an extra $500 or so and go to any sauna which hits your fancy and do what comes naturally during the visit.  If no FS, no big deal...you'll have a nice relaxing time and the free food pretty much makes up for a good portion of the entry fee anyways.

In my opinion sauna visits are supposed to be relaxing and a chance to pamper yourself.  

Hi CheeseIsGood, and welcome to the forum.

For most saunas, the entry fee is waived if you take a line-up girl for sex, OR if you have a 45 minute or more massage in a private room. Note: This does not apply to massages performed by lounge massage girls, whether they are in a private room or not.

In Familia Nobre (one of my favorites for a variety of reasons), you can get your entry fee waived by having 7 lounge massage girl services such as foot massage, thigh massage, neck massage, and so on. Each of these is 25 minutes, so it's a good way to go if you just want to relax without sex. You can even use 3 of your lounge massage services to get a HJ to completion in a private room by a lounge massage girl. As long as you used 7 total, your entry fee would be waived.

Having said all of that, here's what I would suggest.

1) Pick a sauna that sounds good to you. Familia Nobre is very laid back and easy, and you would certainly enjoy yourself there. But 18 is much more raunchy, and the attendants are more pushy with the lounge services. Read up on the others (Rio, East, and so on), and make your choice.

2) Go there at about 8pm (6pm if Fri/Sat), and plan on staying there for 5 hours. Shower, maybe have a body scrub with a girl, eat a little, have some lounge massages, have a full massage, and take a line-up girl. If you want to finish with BJ instead of vaginal sex, just tell her, and she'll be fine with it. If you want to finish with HJ instead, just tell her. But you'll get the full experience, which is a good one.

3) Next day (or earlier the same day), go to Darling 1, and take a girl for a session there. You will be bathed, licked, and generally pampered. Again, if you don't want to have sex with her, no problem. She'll be fine with HJ.

I get the gist of your post, but the gambling experience is my prime objective this trip...  The sauna part will just be a side excursion to either relax and recuperate after taking a bad beat, or as a reward for my success...

But after my first sauna experience, my priorities may change for future trips......

Thanks for the info Gherk.  The easy, laid-back description of FN does sound quite appealing, and much of the other bros on the forum seem to agree.

FN is definitely in the lead for my business so far.

Can anyone shed light on the shun tak bit? which saunas can you buy a prepaid package for and what are the options here? any tips will be appreciated...
