Tijuana Stories and Tips

VivaMex Day Spa

Hmmm... No categories for spas, so this now an Experience!

Here's a business plan for you: start a nice, earthy massage spa right on the sleazeway of TJ's Av. Revolución, then try to convince people it's a legitimate spa that just gives massages. Oddly enough, it worked.

Mostly because they give a damn nice, forty-five minute, massage for only $25 USD. In a nice, calm environment. With pretty, personable young women... but don't get any ideas. I mean it. I'm keeping an eye on you.

You can treat this as a quickie unwind from the stress of being in a like, really stressful city. Or as a day spa/pamper thing. Or therapy. Their flavors of massage include therapeutic, deep tissue, hot stone (also probably not what it sounds like), aromatherapy, reflexology, chair massage, lymphatic system tune-ups, four hands and couples. You and your squeeze getting rubbed out side by side... great for Valentines or impulse relationship maintenance. They also claim to offer "Pregnancy", but I doubt they mean it like that. My guess is if you're pregnant and have been walking around Tijuana, twenty-five bucks is going to sound cheap for a massage designed with your special deformity in mind.

Or hell, just go with vanity. They offer hairstyling, manicure, facials, depilatory waxing (I've never tried having my body hair yanked out by wax, but I'll just bet it's not all that relaxing.) Or, if it's too late to look relaxed, they have Botox. Very conveniently located between Third and Fourth on "Revu", across from the Caliente pseudo-Casino and the tourist info booth.
