Good afternoon. Do you have massage services?
"Masaje" is pronounced mah-SAH-heh — the J makes an H sound in Spanish.

The relaxation massage, please. How long does it last?

Dura una hora. También puede usar las aguas termales antes o después del masaje.

It lasts one hour. You can also use the hot springs before or after the massage.
"Aguas termales" are natural hot springs. Many Latin American countries have volcanic hot springs that are popular wellness destinations.

Perfecto, quiero hacer las dos cosas. ¿Dónde me cambio?

Perfect, I want to do both. Where do I change?
"Cambiarse" is the reflexive verb for changing clothes. "¿Dónde me cambio?" is the natural way to ask where the changing room is.
