Chicas Energy
The Stadium District's Worst-Kept Secret
Here's something you don't see every day: a spa with over 200 Google reviews and a 4.4-star rating. People are reviewing this place like it's a brunch spot. "Professional service." "Well organized." "Clean facilities." It reads like Yelp reviews for a dentist's office, except the services offered are decidedly not dental.
Chicas Energy sits in Laureles-Estadio, about twenty minutes from the Poblado tourist bubble. You're near the main soccer stadium, in a neighborhood where actual Colombians live and work. The area is safe, residential, and completely uninterested in whether you're a gringo or not.
The operation runs like clockwork. You arrive, you're presented with options, you select, you proceed to a clean room with adequate lighting and functional amenities. The whole thing feels less like a seedy adventure and more like... a transaction at a business that happens to sell a particular service. Which is exactly what it is.
Pricing lands around $50 USD for an hour, which puts it squarely in the middle of the Medellín spa spectrum. More than the Centro budget joints, less than the Poblado premium spots, and apparently worth every peso based on the small army of satisfied reviewers who felt compelled to document their experience on Google.
The professionalism is the selling point. Staff are described as "friendly but businesslike." The facilities are clean. The rooms are well-lit. Nobody's running elaborate hustles or surprise upcharges. You know what you're paying, you know what you're getting, and everyone involved treats it like the straightforward commercial exchange it is.
Some complaints exist—a few reviewers mention feeling rushed, which is apparently what happens when you run a professional operation with scheduling—but the overwhelming consensus is positive. "Would recommend." "Will return." "Exactly as described." This is not a place that relies on drunk tourists making bad decisions. This is a place that relies on repeat customers who appreciate consistency.
Hours are Monday through Saturday, 9 AM to 9 PM. Closed Sundays, because even professionals need a day off. The location near the stadium means you can theoretically catch a soccer game and then... recover from the excitement. Nobody's judging your Saturday afternoon itinerary.
The vibe is less "sexy adventure" and more "efficient service provider." If you want candles and mood lighting and the illusion of romance, go elsewhere. If you want to know exactly what you're paying for, get exactly that, and leave without any surprises on your credit card, Chicas Energy has figured out the formula.
4.4 stars. 200+ reviews. The numbers don't lie.
