I ❤️ Poblacion Makati 2026 - B by 27 Shaw - A Review - June 2026


✨ SPA / BATHHOUSE REVIEW: B by 27 Shaw

📍 Location: Poblacion, Makati City (Newly opened May 2026)

📅 Date Visited: June 2026 (Weekday)

⏰ Hours: 3:00 PM – 3:00 AM


✅ First Impression & Vibe

 

Pure opulence from the moment you arrive. The security guard opens the grand entrance door for you, and stepping inside hits you with cool, scented air that feels like stepping into a luxury hotel. Even with the busy area outside, the space feels quiet, calm, and totally private—almost like it has its own noise cancellation. Lighting is soft and dim, perfectly setting the mood for relaxation.

 

Reception is warm and welcoming; the staff are polite, pleasant, and proactive. They walk you through their services, point system, and process clearly, hand over two fresh towels and a plush bathrobe, and personally escort you to the locker area.

Extra note: I accidentally left my earbuds here, and the attendant safely kept them for me—honest and attentive service that speaks volumes.

 

💆 Treatments & Experience

I booked The Everyman for ₱1,400 — which already includes unlimited access to all wet facilities plus a 1‑hour massage.

My therapist was Diego, and he was outstanding. Friendly, skilled, and professional—one of the best massages I’ve had in a long time. Pressure, technique, and stretching were perfectly calibrated, and he was easy to talk to without being distracting. 10/10 for skill and care.

I ♥ Puting Buhangin Pagbilao - Quezon (2012) - 09/29/2012

Image
I always pray for good weather when planning an out-of-town trip, as a typhoon can easily disrupt carefully planned travels. Fortunately, when we visited Puting Buhangin in Pagbilao, Quezon, the weather remained clear. I had been longing to visit this place since last year, but unforeseen circumstances always led to cancellations. Growing up in Quezon province, I felt a deep connection to this destination and wanted to appreciate the beauty of my hometown.   Initially, I had planned a solo backpacking trip and shared my travel plans online out of excitement. That's when I received a message from Mac, who expressed curiosity about my travels. I proposed the idea of going together to Puting Buhangin to cut down on expenses. Without hesitation, Mac agreed to join me on this adventure.   On the day of the tour, heavy rain poured down, making me fear that the trip would once again be cancelled. I reached out to Mac via SMS to confirm if he still wanted to go. If he had changed his...

Day 1 - NAIA terminal 3 - Trapped in Manila's Monsoon Mayhem: A Race Against the Rain to Catch My Flight   Manila had been a soggy mess all week. Rain, relentless and torrential, had transformed the city into a watery labyrinth. It was the kind of downpour that made you question your life choices, especially the decision to book a flight to Vietnam during monsoon season. An orange alert, a constant digital companion on my phone, served as a grim reminder of the flooding chaos engulfing the city. News reports of cancelled flights, including one to North Vietnam earlier that day, fueled my growing anxiety.   My 8 pm flight to Da Nang loomed, a source of both excitement and palpable dread. Mader and Badet’s earlier flight had successfully braved a typhoon in the Philippine West Sea, their tales of gloomy Vietnamese weather offering a bittersweet comfort. Despite their experience, the uncertainty gnawed at me. The weight of a looming Thursday deadline at 4 pm ad...

Hue Hotel and Resorts Boracay: A Review So Good, It's Almost Un-bear-able!   Boracay, the island paradise known for its pristine beaches and vibrant nightlife, is home to a plethora of hotels catering to every traveler's needs. But amidst the sea of options, Hue Hotel and Resorts stands out, offering a unique blend of comfort, convenience, and a touch of island charm. Our recent stay at Hue was a delightful experience, leaving us with a smile on our faces and a longing for a return trip.   Let's start with the location, which is a major plus. Hue is strategically situated on the main road, making it easily accessible for those who want to explore the island's diverse offerings.

And if you're craving the white sands and turquoise waters of Station 2 White Beach, a leisurely 10-minute walk will take you there.   Beyond its convenient location,...
