These massage parlours are known as Termas in Brazil and are very popular with tourists and locals alike (mainly businessmen - working late!). Here you have everything under one roof. Bar, sauna ,baths, food, bedrooms, and of course they are full of beautiful Brazilian girls.
There is a cover charge to get in, usually around fifty reais, but on top of this you will be paying for drinks and the services of the girls and the room (although some will include a "free" drink in the cover charge).
The normal period of the "massage" is around 30 minutes but you can obviously extend this if you wish to pay more .
They all accept major credit cards, and you will need them as it is easy to get carried away having a good time in these places!
Some of these termas double up as swingers clubs for couples, usually at weekends. The Solarium is one example, this becomes Club Ele/Ela on some weekends.
