Rico is a bit mature, nice guy I think in his early 40s.. but I can say he's handsome enough with toned muscles and looking good enough.. I'm not after those young masseurs in their teens or 20s (that I experienced in downtown Manila) but couldn't give that proper and good massage I need! In fairness, to me, it was not a so-so massage but I can say it's above average quality massage. Yes, Rico gave me a good, real and professional, whole body massage that I enjoyed and that was worth my time and money.. 👍🙂

Not sure if I had the right Rico as yours. The one I had was quite an old guy and doesnt exactly fit the same description on the reviews given here. Though he is nice and very respectful and kind, the massage was just so so. Hope Rico would live up to the reviews given to him. He doesnt seem the person he said he is based on the photo.

Rico was more than I could have ever hoped for in a massage experience. His mannerism is unassuming. He is soft-spoken and courteous. But his hands know more about the human body than I’ve never seen! He knows exactly what to touch and how to touch it , the exact amount of pressure to exert, and just how far he can stretch you for your maximum benefit. I’m just hoping our schedules sync so I can see him again before I leave Manila.

It was my 5th time to travel to Philippines and whenever I'm in Manila for a 3 or 5 day-stay for work-related activities, I always treat myself to a body rub/massage in my hotel room a day before I leave. I always have busy schedules so no enough time to go to massage clinics or spas in downtown Manila. So I just search online and prefer to get a masseur/male therapist to come to my hotel. Por suerte, I got Rico (of Good Health Massage Manila) who's a personable and professional guy who gave me great service yesterday! Unlike with others, I must say it was a really nice and wonderful massage experience I had with Rico! He has unique style, and I loved the way he massaged my whole body thoroughly with the different 5 forms/modalities of quality body massage he said he would do to me, especially the scalp and facial massage that was so relaxing and rejuvenating!!! Not to mention that Rico had that nice & slow, soft, instrumental sax music played in the background he added for my utmost relaxation! Y tambien me gusto!! Realmente, a great massage experience that you get what you paid for -- value for money! Ciertamente, I'll get Rico again on my next trip to Manila and recommend him to my two colleagues in Madrid.

Very good. This is my 3rd time to ask him. I strongly recommend his massage to who want to have great massage. And the people who afraid be offered extra service and extra money. Today I asked him normal massage. No sexual things. So the price is cheaper. But he doesn’t change his attitude at all. Although I haven’t tried any other out call masseur, I think it’s very difficult to find massuer with hi level massage skill and trustable personality like Rico. I’m sure that some bad comment here is written by other stupid “masseur” who doesn’t have any skill and who doesn’t try to improve their skill.

He has a very good massage skill. And his personality was very good. He knows what the hospitality is. I was a little bit nervous before he come. But after massage I was so relaxed. I will definitely ask him again.

Thanks a lot, Mr. Ken! I hope my future clients would not expect too much of me for I might not measure up to their very high expectations. But what I can assure is that my clients enjoy a high-quality, professional, full body massage service that is worth their time and money.

Hey Rico, you did it again! Earning that 5-star Award! Congrats! And thanks for the great full body rub & knead that you gave me again last Saturday! Keep up the good work, man!

A thorough, superb and fabulous full body massage I've ever had in my hotel in Manila! Done by handsome & adept Masseur & Therapist Rico.. uniquely Filipino! Highly recommended!

Rico can take care of all your needs and not make you feel pushy. Just directly let him know what you want and enjoy your experience.

When I checked and saw the Manila Gay Massage Spa List (of all the spas/clinics and on-call/out-call services in Manila, Philippines) found on the Travel Gay Asia website, I've known that it's only the GOOD HEALTH MASSAGE MANILA (GHMM) service of RICO who received the only 5-STAR WINNER official badge of the Audience Awards 2016 given by Travel Gay Asia. I got really curious about it so I tried Rico in my hotel room in Manila last Saturday... and he was really good! HIS MASSAGE STYLE IS UNIQUE from other masseurs/therapists. It was a THOROUGH, quite relaxing and pleasurable full body massage done by his adept and dexterous hands! I really loved the way he rubbed, kneaded and glided his hands/palms on my body as well as the different strokes and techniques he applied on my nape, shoulders, back and legs that felt so heavenly! His facial and scalp massages were amazing too! So soothing, calming and rejuvenating enhanced by his fine Aromatherapy oils! It was truly a great experience! I slept so soundly that night! If I'll be asked, I would really give him a 5-STAR VOTE! He truly deserves it! Rico is a nice and handsome, humble and grateful guy. I emailed and told him yesterday about best reviews. He replied (I copied it): "Sir, I didn't expect that I would be a 5-STAR WINNER. All I know is that I just always give my best to my clients -- to satisfy them with my best quality service that I can render. I'm very thankful to TRAVEL GAY ASIA and to my clients who gave me the best reviews, those who like my service and are very appreciative of me! Now, honestly, I feel anxious and pressured ha-ha! With such reviews, my next client/s might expect too much of me and I might not measure up to their very high expectations! I just hope they won't expect SO HIGHLY so they would not get disappointed if ever! But I CAN ASSURE MY CLIENTS THAT THEY WOULD REALLY ENJOY THE BEST QUALITY MASSAGE SERVICE THAT'S REALLY WORTH THE TIME AND MONEY THEY WILL SPEND."

Muy bien! Polite, open-minded and customer-friendly, Rico rendered a really good full body massage to me in my hotel that I truly enjoyed, unlike my some bad experiences before in some Manila massage spas where I felt somewhat bruised and my body muscles felt aching after the kneading sessions! But with Rico of Good Health, my body felt great, refreshed and rejuvenated after the massage! Excelente! El es realmente bueno! Try him. :-)

I got the on-call hotel service of Good Health Massage Manila last night and I really enjoyed a superb massage by Rico! Truly as advertised, good quality service and best value for your money. He's a good masseur-therapist and really knows his craft.

After three days of fighting Manila traffic and a day before I left, I wanted to have a good massage. However, the thought of going back out into the traffic stopped all thoughts until I saw Rico's ad. The combination of five different types of massages plus in my room convinced me. It was the best thing I could of done. Rico is a true gentleman. He is honest and pleasant but the best was his massage. His hands worked magic. Somehow, he seemed to know EXACTLY what I wanted and NEEDED! Rico you are the best. Can't wait till next time.

"I'm a business traveler (from Singapore) who travels a lot in Asian countries. When I was in Manila staying in a hotel, I tried Rico and he was really good! Nice, friendly and open-minded masseur. If you are after a real, professional, good quality, full body massage (that's so relaxing, pleasurable and refreshing), I recommend this guy."
