Editorial Review for Bunya CitiSPA – by Joanna Prisco
In Short
Sparkling mosaic tiles and a trickling floor-to-ceiling waterfall induce Southeast Asian relaxation upon entering. A mint green and sandstone color scheme gives way to 13 muraled treatment rooms, where exotic birds are painted perched in banyan trees. To further transport, natural ingredients including Thai herbs, sesame oil, honey and organic ginger are incorporated into the luxuriously long services, from massages and mud wraps to fruit-infused facials. A teak sauna and steam room seal this soothing experience.

I've been coming here for about a year now and figured that I should do a review on the many services I've gotten at Bunya. Once you go in the receptionist are very nice, friendly & helpful. I normally get there early so i can go use the sauna. After I'm done I'll go & wait in the lounge area so I can relax & have myself some nuts, fruits & cucumber water (Very Healthy). while I wait for my Masseuse or Esthetician So far the Estheticians (Penny & Irene) have been wonderful. They have taken care of my acne problems as well as make my skin silky smooth. I love how they actually let me rest & relax instead of constantly talking to me while I get my facial. I love being able to go in for a mini facial while i'm on my lunch break so I can unwind after having a hectic morning. Massages are just great there. Depending on what you need there are a lot of great masseuses there. The Thai Massage I got there was as good as when I went to Bangkok. I recommend requesting / asking for S ue for that . Deep Tissue & Sports Massages are what I normally get. For those I would recommend Maggie, Esther, Michelle or Francise. Several of my co-workers have been down there with me and they've had several different masseuses & they love it. One of them mentioned that the pregnancy massage is great and she had several of her pregnant friends come down for it as well. I think the masseuse was Jenny. I've gotten several body treaments done as well. I love the Tropical Oasis & Papaya Polish. Every now and then I will spoil myself and get the Tranquility Hands & Feet done. Look for Cherry, Lilly or Mia. I would recommend that you arrive a little early even if you've made an appointment. There's been several occasions that I got there on time or a little late and had to wait. Even if you have to wait, the wait is worth it. Service = 5 Stars Atmosphere = 4.5 Stars Price = 4.5 Stars Cleanliness = 5 Stars
Pros: Great Service
Cons: None

I thought I'd struck the jackpot after I had a pretty great facial for just 90 bucks last week by a sweet girl named Penny. But when I went back for a couples massage yesterday, I realized I was sorely (pun intended) mistaken. Not only did the masseuse (Frances? Francine?) rush through the massage and dig her fingers into my tendons (hello, that's NOT a knot. I need those), but she doesn't even have a grasp of basic human anatomy. She rubbed my armpits, for godssakes. I don't know about you, but I don't carry my tension in my armpits. It even got to a point where I literally had to tell her "Stop it!". When it was finally over, I asked to speak to the manager who reluctantly offered to have someone work on the 'spots she missed' for 20 mins. Really? Because after all that, you think I want to go BACK in? Not only did NO ONE apologize for the cr*p massage, but they even acted like I was the one who was being high maintenance. Save your money. You can get the same level of service at a tug and rub.
Pros: Penny the facialist is great.
Cons: Everything else was AWFUL!!!
