Which is the nicest spa?

Hello All,

My wife and I are going down for our 10th anniversary this October to the World, and I thought what better way to open up our vacation than to have a his and hers spa experience upon arrival.

I'm wondering which spa would be the reccomended one to go to?

Thanks for any help you guys can give, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my health plan will cover the cost. I know it does for massage, I'm hoping I can do the whole thing :P

Do all the WDW resorts have spa services? Even Pop Century?

No not all resorts have spas. There is one at Saratoga Springs and the Grand Floridian. Go to Niki Bryan Spa - Relaxed Yet to see the treatments and costs.

The Grand Floridian Spa is beautiful. I really enjoyed the treatment I had there a few year ago. What a wonderful way to celebrate those 10 years! Congrats!

thanks for the link, good to see a whole list of the services...even if I don't have a clue what most of them are

I think I'm leaning to the GF's spa, just because it is the Grand Floridian, so has an expectation of posh-ness along with it....plus only a Monorail ride away from the MK and other fun stuff...but I have heard that Saratoga Springs' spa is a bit bigger and not as "cramped" feeling as the one at Grand Floridian, so hence my dilemma....

....maybe we'll have to try both. I'm sure my wife would not complain hehe...

Can anyone go to the hotels with the spas to use them? Like, even if you're not a guest of that hotel?

I've been to both in the past and I actually preferred the one at Saratoga Springs, which I wasn't expecting. I don't know why I liked it better, but it was my favourite of the two.

Yes, anyone can use them - provided you're prepared to pay for the treatments, it's open to you.

hi all,
Question for you Tim ... have you made any decisions about which way your going on the spa vacation? I'm also checking for my anniversary so I've checked out the suggestions on this thread & wondered what conclusions you've made.
Thanks.

I did the GF spa last time I was there and I have to say I wasn't overly impressed. It was ok nice, just not nice-nice like I expected. This time I plan to trying the Saratoga Springs spa or the one at the Swan/Dolphin.

I checked at the various places that have spa treatments and they all have the same prices. So find a place that's closest to where you're staying or you like the decor of.

Fyi - the least expensive massage is $115 for 50 minutes.

After reviewing the "Couples Spa" packages at the Grand Floridian, Saratoga Springs, and the Swan & Dolphin for our 10th anniversary, we ended up choosing the Swan & Dolphin. For one thing, Mandara Spa is wonderful and we really enjoyed the couples soak (in sig pic below) prior to the couples massage. The other spas had different variations of what's included for a couples package. I'm sure they're all wonderful.

In answer to a previous question about who can book the spa, we were locals at the time and not staying on-property.
