I have only called and asked for a specific masseur. I've never gone and selected one based on who was available. I'm sure you could though.

I 100% will be going back. Will just ask for a different masseur.

Yea, the fact that Jack only made me pay for the 45 minutes was great. Other spas like Super Men and Manta short you all the time but still except you to pay. I had no idea he shorted me until Jack said so. Had Jack made me pay full price I would have complained. The massage itself was fine, just repetitive but I chalk it up to him being new and needing more practice. I don't ever feel the need to complain about the masseurs technique, I just make a point not to get them again. I've certainly had much much worse elsewhere.

Had a disappointing experience at Shangrila after such a great one my first time with Rodrigo. I had Pedro. Muscular, Beautiful latino. Not sure if he's trained in massage. He didn't even massage my shoulders and neck, he started at my shoulder blades and then just rubbed there to my lower back most of of the time. Pressure was fine at least. It eventually ended and I got dressed. I walked out to pay and Jack was at the desk and asked if everything was ok because I wanted 60 minutes. I look at my phone and it was only 45 minutes so the guy shorted me 15 minutes! Jack seemed really concerned the guy shorted me and I asked if I could pay for 45 and he said yes so that was really nice of him. I said it was fine as long as I'm not paying for the full hour. Anyway, thank goodness for Jack. He's such a nice guy but really disappointing experience tonight. It's always the hot ones! :-)

I have only had Rodrigo there. Any other recommendations?

I agree. As soon as they suggest a price it's a complete turn off and I always say "no thanks, just a massage please" I do recall a few times they did it anyway because they probably didn't want a crappy tip.

Yea when I went he just gave me a membership card and charged me $80.

Went to Shangrila tonight. The place is immaculate and beautifully decorated. The rooms are really nice. Large rooms, hot towel warmer is in the room, large massage table. Jack is the owner, same guy from Utopia. The walls on the side go all the way up but the wall with the door to the room does not. Had Rodrigo. Tall and beautiful. Super sweet guy. Good massage. They are giving free body scrubs. Body scrub room had a nice big table and a shower head. It is more expensive and Jack said due to location and higher rent. I would probably opt just to go to Utopia since its cheaper unless I'm in the area but overall really great place.

I think Shangrila is the same owner as Utopia. On a google search the same person posted photos for both spas.

Looks nice based on the photos so might check it out but definitely a little pricier than most. $90 for 60 minutes. Hopefully it's not another Super Men Spa. Overpriced and awful massages.

They seem to be more lenient with the towels. I went yesterday and every guy had a hand towel and they didn't say anything this time. Unfortunately now they have a worker sitting in the wet area watching. So awkward. Only about 6-8 guys there so seems they are losing a lot of customers now.

The crowd is mixed but this does attract a good looking crowd. However, re: cruising they have signs up about inappropriate behavior, attendant checks all the time, the steam room you can easily see in from far away and some guys have complained to the attendant so you have to be very careful. I went this past weekend early evening and it was pretty crowded.

When I went it was the guy telling me no towels. I did see him come in and take a small towel away from one guy who had one. He had it next to him while sitting on the hot tub.

Went to K-Town today. They've been closed for like 6 months for renovations but I didn't see anything different except there is water fountain in the men's wet area and they re-arranged the couches on the floor with the saunas haha. It's not worth going anymore though. They no longer allow towels in the wet area. They give you one small one and one big one and you have to keep them in the cubby before you enter the wet room. What?!! This makes no sense. Why can't I at least take my small towel to sit on in the steam-room because the bench is hot or use it to wipe my sweat? So dumb. Guys were still playing in the shower and steam-room walking around with hard-ons. I'm pretty sure someone complained because I saw a hot blond guy storm out of the steam-room and out of the wet area and then 30 seconds later the worker came in and checked in on the steam-room. He kept doing every few minutes after that the rest of the time I was there. The floor with the saunas also smelled funny. Then they changed how you check out. You have to go out to reception and check out and then come back into the locker-room to get your shoes. It's so stupid. Before you could check out with the locker-room attendant. Anyway, sorry for the long post but I was expecting so much more because they were closed for so long.

Went to 27 Spa. Had Sean. He's from Kazakhstan. Really nice guy and chatty at first. Great strong massage.

no.

I asked before the massage. Maybe it was unavailable. Hard to understand him. I would say mid 20's. He was thin-medium build.

Had a great massage at Bablyon the other day. HE was rushed but the massage itself was fantastic. I asked his name bit could not understand him. He wore glasses. I also asked for shower and they said they didn’t have one or maybe it wasn’t available but I thought they had one.

Has anyone had Ahmed at 27spa? I've only seen him at the spa and he's really cute but I haven't booked him. When I inquired about him they said he's Egyptian/Latino Mix.

Had Steven at 27 Spa. Asian guy w/ glasses. Nice looking. Decent massage. Nothing special though. Would want someone else if I go back.

Went to 27 Spa. Had Yura. Tall lean guy and very cute I thought. Couldn't tell where he was from. There was a gorgeous latino guy working the front desk but he didn't have his name tag on. Who is he?? Damn...Anyway, didn't love the body scrub. The table is uncomfortable and I'm a little too tall for it and the scrub itself was a little rough. I got home and had some of the scrub stuck in some crevices so didn't do a good job cleaning it all off. Massage was eh. They have spruced up the space since I've been though and the price is good.

I emailed through their Yelp page today and got an immediate response so maybe try that.

Had Diego last night. Tall, muscular and good looking. Massage was actually pretty good but rushed ending and then he shorted me 10 minutes! I didn't realize until I left otherwise I would have given a smaller tip. Done with this place.

Every time I've been I've had good massages. I've had Simon, Ariel and Kar. Kar is fantastic. He is super strong though so if you don't like strong don't go to him unless you are clear you want soft or medium. He stretches you, uses his knees & feet to dig in. I was in heaven. I think the place is cute & clean and the guys have always been very friendly and I've never been up-sold. In fact, I once scheduled a 90 minute massage & body scrub but after the massage I forgot and got dressed. I decided not to get the body scrub since I was already dressed and they were totally cool with me downgrading to the hour massage. The rooms don't bother me. I think they are nice. One time I was in the room on the left which is by the bathroom and I could hear people peeing and flushing so that was annoying but the other times I was in the last room to the right so I didn't hear anything.

I use to go to Dylan when he worked at Manta so been going to him for years. He is definitely one of the best. I also had August once and agree his massage was fantastic. I've only been disappointed once but I don't think the guy works there anymore. Dylan texted saying he has a new guy and would I like to try him. It was so bad I ended the massage a little early and Dylan asked me afterwards about the massage and I was honest. Dylan offered to give me a free massage the next time I came in, which I told him was not necessary, but it just shows he really cares about his clients and his business.
