Kosmo

I tried Rafa and he was excellent. He’s lean and muscular with a dramatic v-shape — huge chest and tiny waist. Beard. Very pleasant personality. And the massage was quite good. He doesn’t overdo it with the oil; he uses rather little. 

Had a session with Rafa yesterday at Shangrila. The message was ok but he’s extremely handsome and nice attitude. He knows how to please.  To repeat. 

He is hot and sweat . He found time for 30 min for massage without appt.

Oh cool, thanks! I was telling a friend I thought maybe South Asian. Hot af

Shangrila men’s spa lol

He from india . Had massage with him couple days ago . Good guy . He told me he just start like a week ago

Yup. My mistake. I was reading the entry right above mentioning 27 spa. 

Yes, I am -- look at the topic of this thread!

I don't know why you would say that. I literally saw him, and he's there today, for example. Also was given his name by one of the owners when I was checking in about scheduling an appt. 
 
Anyway, highly recommended!

Can now confirm this is correct. Thanks!

Reviving this thread - has anyone been to this spa lately? It seems that Lucas is no longer working here. Anyone know where he is now?

Anyone have experience with Joe or Rafa?
Feel free to DM me. Thanks.

He may be the new Luca at spa27/HKMS

I had this guy in his private studio last year. very polite and skills very good.

I wish more people were considerate like you. Too many people think that for the addition of some "happy time" during a $50 massage their "tip" of 50% is generous.
Any experience that gives me a good orgasm means that I'm at the baseline of escort rates. So an $80 tip is my starting point, and other extras are calibrated to align with the cash in my wallet.

I agree with you about massage quality. I do not think of this as a place where one should go for proper massage therapy. These staff members are not licensed. I prefer that they use light strokes and focus on relaxation rather than therapy bc I wouldn’t want them to cause damage. (I did get some tension in my back from one of the massages.)
That said, you can always request an adjustment to the pressure. 
I regularly see an incredible LMT in my home city and what’s done at Shangri La is amateurish. However, the staff members do things that my LMT does not, and it’s a wonderful environment. 

I’ve now tried Ricardo, Sam and Andre. Found all three to be just okay in terms of quality of massage (a little on the light side). Extras were good from all but no one I’m necessarily rushing to repeat. When I go again, I will likely see Andre or Sam just because they seemed a little more into the experience. I do always appreciate that they never ask about tips/short on time when I’m at Shangrila. 

Tried Ricardo. He is indeed very polite. He is Mexican about 5'6" and lean. Massage was on the lighter side, but he's engaging with the finale. I probably wouldnt repeat as I prefer deep massages. 

It was a lovely massage HighlEy recommend. I’d like to try some of the other staff as well. 

He's short and compact, young, has a nice, taut physique and a handsome, clean-shaven face. Really polite.

Wanted to follow up and report that Lucas was fantastic. Highly recommend. He’s young and very handsome, muscular, chill, kind.
 
He did not once mention tips; Ricardo did (though it didn’t bother me too much bc it was my first time there and I didn’t mind hearing some info about expectations). 
I really like the staff and the vibe of the place.

Had a nice massage with Sam this weekend. Deep and strong, with some stretching, from Bangladesh with a pretty thick beard. Would love to try Ricardo next based on all of the feedback. 

Just booke Ricardo for this afternoon, will report my experience!

Just had a great massage with Ricardo at Shangrila in NYC.  It was amazing.  I have had him before but a while ago.  I gave another try and was glad I did.
