Rejuvenate Holiday - Ossoto Spa

I've always nagging to go to Ossoto Spa. By looking at my friends' post and photos on Facebook, and curiosity made me went searching about it on Google, reading other people's reviews and blogs made my desire got even stronger until the last Saturday, my dream has finally came true.

We called them beforehand to avoid disappointment, however the operator said there is no booking required we can just walk-in anytime. The recreational hub is 24-hours available, but just with certain services close between wee hours for cleaning-up purposes.

And so here we go to Wisma Mirama on the National Day (31st August 2014), very early at 8am. Advice- Just utilize the valet parking with only RM10 as you will be there for 24 hours, afterall its more worth the price than you take normal parking tickets. There we headed up to 5th floor lobby for checking in. I was so freaking excited.

Upon checking in, the waitresses gave us each a bracelet with locker chip. Then I was separated with the bf to enter into ladies section to keep my stuffs and change. Small thoughts in mind: by looking at the cozy and luxurious surroundings, I wondered how much they spent just purely for renovation and decoration, it was so exaggeratedly - cozy. Anyway, women will love it.



Next I've change to their pyjamas and sandals, which I think I suddenly looked like a patient staying in hospital. Please note that normally one has to take a shower before changing into their pyjamas and entering their jacuzzi, fish spa, sauna and steam room, obviously for hygiene purpose. I've taken shower before departed from home, so I skipped the shower. A little turn down here is that the pyjamas I got has stain on it, although it is a bit warm which they might just thrown into the sterilization machine but they might had neglected the stubborn stain.

Basically they provide everything you need, you'll see shampoo, shower gel and hair conditioner in the shower room; and there are a few dressers available, providing from hair dryer, contact lenses solution, face toner and hydrating cream, body lotion, comb and etc. After shower, you can head on to the second changing room to add a pink bathrobe before going out to public area. Seriously I felt like a princess!

Then we go on to have our breakfast at the restaurant in 4th floor. Buffet is served at every meal on the weekends, while you can have ala-carte menu only on weekdays. I heard that ala-carte was served better; well, we actually really think their buffet is at average standard. Simple & not impressive but fillable.



We looked for activities after fixing stomachs. Jacuzzi, Sauna and other related service in the same area is not available until 10am; thus we went explored at 3rd floor.

At 3rd floor, there are cafe lounge, public sleeping area, a number of VIP rooms, facial salon, table tennis room, gym and mini cinema. we sat down at the comfortable sofa chair at the cafe lounge, ordering my favorite hot chocolate and his Earl Grey tea with some reading materials. My hot chocolate even comes with coffee art OMG~ After the tea break and digest session, here we are at the table tennis room and to have ultimate battle. Fyi, I was president for table tennis club during high school, so basically the bf never wins when playing table tennis with me and so he doesn't like to play with me HAHAHAHA!



Seems like our body got heated up after the ping pong game, I suggested to do gym after that. Quite enjoyed as I never tried walking on the running machine with my bathrobe on and without shoes. A little reminder for girls, you have to do gym with your bathrobe, if not, guys will stare at you if you know what I mean.


Locker at the gym
After gym, we slipped in to the mini cinema to watch "Once Upon A Time In Shanghai". The massage chair is adjustable and with pressing a button you can order whatever you want while enjoying your movie.



Don't remember how long we had loafed there until lunch time. There again we filled our stomach with a lot of food included some dessert like fresh fruits and ice-cream. I guess this is what it means by "happiness of gaining weight together".



At last, me and boyfriend separately went for jacuzzi, steam room and sauna room (men's section & women's section). I enjoyed so much for some me time, despite it was really packed with many aunties and kids. I had shower before and after spa. Everything is provided, I really don't need to take out anything from the bag. When you are too tired or felt too warm after the steam and sauna, you can proceed to the rest area for some refreshments, ice water, and even ice-cream for cooling down, so sweet!!! I spent quite some time at the dresser after shower, for drying my hair, putting conditioner on it, apply toner and moisturizer on my face, and baby lotion on my hands and legs (all products provided by Ossoto).

There are lots more of things to discover but I decided to stop here. As the best experience is always: go by yourself! I recommended couples to visit Ossoto and this is a good way for rejuvenate after working like hell in normal time. Revisit? It depends. But there are more options available recently like Lavish Spa at Farenheit88 and I-Spa at Austin Heights, Johor Bahru. The boyfriend said he will bring me next time when we have short trip. Looking forward.

All in all, we had so much fun spending time together. :)
