Amanda at BP.

[carnation]

Was out and about on Saturday morning. Having never tried Blue Pearl before I attempted to remember its location from what I'd read previously. Found it, parked out back and was rung in through the back door (had to leave that double entendre for you guys that can't resist a straight line).

Anyway, was set up with Amanda. Her pictures aren't up on BP's site yet. She's Polish, blonde, maybe around 5'4" or so. Has a bit of a tummy, nice enough breasts though a bit smallish on a fairly large torsoed girl. Not tatoos and a belly button piercing. Opted for an NR/BS after telling her BS hasn't usually done much for me in the past. She said "have you ever had my BS?", so I signed on for the journey. Massage of me was good though a bit light. My massage of her was pretty interactive though and she seemed to be quite enjoying herself. Never made it as far as the BS but her demonstrative behaviour and just generally being a nice girl led me to pay her the rate nonetheless.

I'd go again... and I almost did when I saw when of the other young ladies while exiting the premises. One minor grumble, I'd paid for my massage after being advised of the rates per timeframe and then heard the gent manning the desk (Sal?) telling a caller about a 1 hour special that he hadn't mentioned to me. When I said "that's what I should have gone for" he showed me the room. I guess I should have pushed the point.

He seemed pretty up-front when I dealt with him, but now I'm hearing from a variety of people about BP possibly scamming by charging different prices. What gives? You've got the best looking spa around, Sal -- keep it classy by being classy about how you charge

 

[lol-ific]

Last time I was there a price list was posted on the wall near the entrance to the hallway off to the rooms. Is it still there? Prices then were $40/30 $60/45 $80/60 ... according to that list. I was never charged more.

The one hour special is the hot tub session he was talking about.That is the only other special hour session there is.

Alot of people might be refering to the other thread that was deleted because it was a person angery with another spa and took it out on Blue Pearl.There prices have alway's been the same over a year now,they are rare to find and don't over charge.Class all the way.So do not beleave everything you read.It was taken off for a good reason and should not have gone that far.I have been going there for a long time and will continue to.I also go to other places as well but nothing like Blue Pearl has yet come up.

I have been to BP as well many times and have neaver been over charged Sal is a very nice guy and gives me and others I seen there waiting for a room nothing but the best in customer service.


Thanks Sal and keep up the good work,I will be back this week.

 

[Mister Ious]

I have to concur -- BP is the nicest and classiest MP I've had the pleasure of visitng. Never had any pricing issues come up, either. Must have been a misunderstanding.

 

[Midnight River]

if i remember last week people were nitpicking about HFH's pricing , this week BP's - which MP next week ?
been to BP a couple of times and i was quoted the same as revolver ,both over the phone and in person. very nice place

 

[Bender]

I remember that thread seams like some people are trying to start something and thats not wright.Not every one is the same but I highly dought anyone is getting a bad deal.Who's next ?

Guys, I usually just read posts but you'll find that those I've made have solicited little info, instead prefering to provide a review. Now I'm not ticked off but the degree to which people fill in perceived gaps with conjecture... "that was the hot tub special"... "must have been a misunderstanding"... floors me sometimes. It kind of goes hand in glove with the oft refered to practice of some members jumping all over guys who don't have a sufficient number of posts to somehow validate their credibility. Customer loyalty is great but I'm not sure something isn't lost if there's going to be a slavish devotion to an establishment or MPA. Why submit a review if any negative aspects are just going to be written off? I know, some of the replies were directed more at others who were more forceful in pushing the notion that there's something wrong with the pricing/charging thing at BP.

My review of BP (and the MPA) was pretty complimentary. The piece at the end about not being told about the "special" was exactly what I said it was, a minor grumble. Having said that, the special which was refered to on the phone was some sort of "weekend special". It was mentioned as being one hour in duration. The words "hot tub" were not part of the pitch. I'd have picked up on that as I've partaken previously (Silhouette) and would have like a comparison. I don't know where the "misunderstanding" would have been, except at Sal's end... which I'm quite willing to accept. I very clearly said "that's what I should have gone for". It would have been a minor upsell in cost but would have represented a longer session. Mea culpa... I should have pushed the point but didn't.

Anyway, I was there and (hand on my heart) there shouldn't have been a misunderstanding. Maybe the tub was in use. Maybe Sal was thinking about something else. I'm open to that... but it does speak a little to customer service. Guys, please ease up on those who don't have triple-digit posting numbers (though I do need to contact Fred and find out how I made 2 posts and a reply yesterday, yet my number didn't increase) and allow for the fact that few things are perfect (I do) and that there's almost always room for improvement if reasonable feedback gets heard. No offense intended to any BP supporters. I will be going back.

 

[tripageous]

I understand what you are saying and agree.When I said it must be the hot tub session I gusse that is because you said you walked in on his conversation on the phone so maybe you missed part of the conversation.Another reason is there are no weekend specials or hour specials so the only thing left would be the hot tub.I have called and ask them, there are no specials. You missed what ever they were talking about so rather then asume why not call or ask about specials so there is no confustion anymore makes life much easery.

 

[Yuriy R]

since that thread has been "discretely" eliminated or closed...as a summary....USE cash when you go to an mp...it will eliminate any so called EXTRA charges and is less of a hassle for all...however to each his own

...for choad--your initial post on that thread seemed reasonable and at least put some attention to final prices no matter which mp anyone goes to

...your approach made sense as you explained and one person (obviously very attached to BP) took offense

...so be it but I will make the effort (when needed) to pass any relevant info around this board...no matter what mp it is...

 

[ComStar Computers]

Deniro, please do not talk about something you don't know anything about. Why assume that ltg has erred somewhere and take his word for it? He "may" have missed much of the conversation but you didn't even hear the conversation. Then you are stating that the conversation was about the hot tub session (as fact). Sheeesh, how the hell would you know?!?!?

There are many specials that are offered that are not listed on websites and specials that are not offered simply by asking over the phone. Maybe these hidden, secret specials are offered only to known return loyal customers over a long period of time. So maybe you are in the same boat as ltg and not getting these special offers either.

 

[Pompal 09.]

Actually I didn't walk in on his conversation (I don't think I wrote that either). I paid by interac, the phone rang and Sal answered while turning to have me sign the interac receipt. I stood 3 feet from him, listening to the call, toying with one of their business cards at the front desk. Then he showed me to the room. Amanda then brought the cash I'd debited to the room and I paid her. Sorry, no hot tub mentions. No great harm done but I didn't miss anything in the conversation and he still missed me saying "that's what I should have done" as he got up to take me to the room. Stuff happens but it's still a customer service thing. I will be sure to ask if there are any specials next time though.

Hmmmm, ...just a small note.

You don't sign Interac receipts

Jazzman

 

[IN CHARGE]

Itg (new handle) You did say you walked into his conversation but(WHATEVER)

I feel I do know what I am talking about or I would not comment but (whatever)


P.S. Hay........do we all get to sign our own Interac receipts now!!!!!!!!!! Heeeeeeeeeeeeeee HA

 

[Morgaine]

... from going into detail about what a crock of BS I think this amounts to when posting a positive review with a "minor grumble" turns into people who weren't there telling me what happened and how I was mistaken.

Excellent detective work on the part of Jazzman and DeNiro's right there to jump in. Hmmm, it's a good thing I didn't say the Yellow Tang in their marine tank looked a little thin, somebody would challenge me on my knowledge of aquariums and then I'd really be outed as a hyper-critic. DeNiro, I have no idea what the heck you mean "new handle"? ltg is the only one I've used since joining last year. Anyway, I'm found out!! I also masterminded the sinking of the Lusitania and held John Wilkes Booth's horse for him. I typed that I'd signed my Interac slip... wrong on my part, he handed it to me... bad attention to detail on my part (and btw DeNiro, if that's your benchmark for absolute credibility you better check the spelling and syntax of your own messages... pretty bad attention to detail there my friend... I could give a damn but people who live in glass houses, you know?).

You guys decide what sort of board you want. I'll be very guarded about making any more posts. Someone else might as well just write them for me and then they can tell me what I experienced.

 

[Convicted for Life]

Wow. Just did a search on "DeNiro" and see this isn't the first time you've gotten hinky when someone said anything remotely negative about Blue Pearl... and what I wrote was pretty minimally critical. Hmmm. Wrote that I'd tipped the attendant for quality of service, to the extent I paid for something we didn't get around to doing but that I'd agreed to and then wrote that I'd go back again. I'm not sure what your issue is but from here on I couldn't care less.

What I wrote in my initial post was: "...I'd paid for my massage after being advised of the rates per timeframe and then heard the gent manning the desk (Sal?) telling a caller about a 1 hour special that he hadn't mentioned to me. When I said "that's what I should have gone for" he showed me the room."

So DeNiro, if we do the math: I pay after discussing rates + hear guy then talk on phone about something he hadn't mentioned to me + then he takes me to room = I didn't walk in on the conversation and I did not write that I had, as you've now stated twice.

Geez, you said you went to the trouble of calling the MP to confirm your knowledge of their practises but you didn't really check what I wrote, did you? You're just right then, right? Wrong, Mr. Taxi Driver. BTW, no one says "whatever" quite so eloquently as you.

 

[eelfins]

No, ltg did not say that in his original post. BTW, I thought it was a well written and informative review.

New handle? ltd registered Nov 2001, Robert Deniro registered March 2002.

I reread ltg's first post and he never said he walked in any conversation. Again, you are just running your mouth

Everyone, please if you need any info about Blue Pearl, Robert Deniro is the expert! Forget about talking to Sal, he won't cut you a deal (even though he owns the place). When you want the real shit, talk to Bobby!!!

Like holy crap! So you know what happened in that conversation?!?!? Are you a pro in conversations you weren't in? Well can you tell me what the heck my wife was talking about when she got mad at me the other day? I attributed her moodiness due to pms, but since you "KNOW" what you're talking about, maybe you can shed some light on what the heck she really meant (whatever).

A little advise Robert Deniro, BP does not need any defending whenever there is a perceived slight. BP is doing pretty well for itself. The only thing that turns people off from BP and it's MPAs are the overly zealous BP worshipers.
