The spa requests health and treatment preference information at check-in; be prepared to mention any injuries, allergies, pregnancy or medical conditions when you book or at arrival so staff can recommend appropriate services.
- Arrive ~15 minutes early for check-in and robe/steam-room use
- Disclose injuries, allergies, pregnancy or medical conditions when booking/checking in
- Bring a credit card or room charge preference if you plan retail or add-on services
