gymguy:
I checked out Garden of Eden for you.
Yesterday was a nice sunny day and so I decided to go for a bike ride - ended up on the Sea to Sky Highway and stopped in Squamish in mid-afternoon for coffee. I remembered your inquiry about Garden of Eden so I drove around to see if I could find it (Squamish is not that large).
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
Garden of Eden is located at 38021 - Third Avenue. Third Avenue runs parallel to the main downtown street, about two or three blocks towards the west (the direction away from the Sea to Sky Highway).
The building looks quite nice from the outside - its a two story building with Garden of Eden occupying the entire ground floor. It's right next door to a little strip mall. The rest of the street is single family residences. I can see now why its location caused a bit of a stir in Squamish.
PHONE
I believe I got this right: (604) 892-9603 (long distance from Vancouver)
HOURS
I understand they are open 24hrs a day and do in and outcalls. The ladies are trained in massage and are very talented. Located exactly in between Vancouver and Whistler, we are the perfect place to make a rest stop and see the breathtaking scenery
PREMISES
Anyways, I parked and went inside to take a look. The reception area is at the very back, so if you go in the front door as I did then you have to walk down a corridor all the way to the back of the building. I didn't check but assume there's parking in the rear, which would have allowed me to enter in a more discrete manner than straight off the street in view of a couple guys sitting on their balcony across the street.
The premises looked like they had recently undergone a complete renovation as everything looked pretty new, very clean and quite high end. Actually, much higher end than a lot of the MPs in Vancouver.
Their "standard room" is very small, but very clean and nicely appointed. However, after the massage table there was little room left for anything else. I don't think it had a shower, but there was a bathroom down the hall with a shower that you could use.
I checked out two "theme" rooms. One is immediately to the right as you enter the front door, the other is to the left. Both rooms were quite large, newly decorated and very, very nice. The room on the left as you enter had a nice large walk-in shower (large enough that it didn't need doors), a hot tub and a large bed. The room on the right as you enter had a nice jaccuzzi, shower stall and a fairly large bed.
Overall, the premises were far better than most of the MPs in Vancouver. The "theme rooms" were more like what you'd find at the Swedish Touch - i.e. appointed like a high end hotel.
GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS
There were two girls available when I was there (mid-afternoon, so not surprising there weren't more and I don't think there were any other clients there at the time). The girl who showed me around was a very attractive and slim sandy-haired girl, about 5'9" or so. She looked to be in her mid 20's to late 20's (I'm lousy at guessing ages). She had a nice face, was slender with a nice bust and had a great attitude in showing me around.
The other girl was a cute blonde who was sitting on the couch in the reception area and seemed a little shy. The blonde had a nice face, was quite attractive and in her early 20's. I couldn't tell how heavy she was as she was sitting down - but she looked about average - i.e. not too heavy and not overly slim.
I did not have time to stay to have a session with either girl. However, both girls were attractive and I would have been happy with either of them (but would have preferred the girl that showed me around because I could get a better look at her). Either girl could work at the better massage parlours in Vancouver, and would be busy at them.
RATES
The girl who showed me around was carting a large book from which she read me the rates. If memory serves me right, the rates were generally higher than the rates for standard MPs in Vancouver previously cited on PERB.
If memory serves correctly (my memory like so many other parts of me is not what it used to be), rates at the Garden of Eden were $150 for 1/2 hour in the standard room, and that only included a nude massage and not full service. The theme rooms were quite a bit more, and additional services would be a higher charge. I wish I could recall if she told me the rate for FS in the theme room for an hour but I can't.
SERVICES
I didn't want to bother getting out of motorcycle gear and I also didn't have much time to stay so I declined trying out the services.
However, I can say that the full range of services available in MPs in Vancouver is also available at Garden of Eden in Squamish.
With more time and money, and if I was in my car, I would have been very, very tempted to stay.
SUMMARYl
In summary:
* The premises are very, very nice.
* I liked the premises better than most Vancouver MPs.
* The two girls that I saw were very attractive.
* One girl had a very good attitude, the other seemed shy.
* The prices seem higher than many Vancouver MPs.
* I can't comment on the quality of services as I didn't stay.
* Definitely worth trying if you're in the neighbourhood and have the money.
