When you enter the Spa, check-in at the reception desk. The Spa receptionist will escort you to the Locker Room to take a shower and change into a robe and spa sandals. You will be assigned a locker with key to store your clothes and personal affects.

As you relax in the peaceful Spa lounge, you will be asked to fill out a brief consultation card to provide the therapist with details on your physical state. Please note that all information is strictly confidential and will be used solely for the purpose of your treatment. You may be asked to choose massage oil for your treatment, so inhale the scents of four chocolate oils or four aromatherapy oils to make your selection. Then please take a few moments to relax, unwind and escape.

When it's time for your service your therapist will escort you to a treatment room and discuss your treatment. The therapist will then leave the room so you can disrobe and lay on the treatment table under a sheet and/or blanket.

Now relax and let the stress melt away.


Please check in at the Spa reception desk at least 15 to 30 minutes prior to your appointment time so you can review your reservations, fill out a consultation card, and have time to relax in the sauna and Spa lounge before your treatment.

This can depend on the treatment however undergarments are generally not necessary. The best way to get the full effect of a massage is to disrobe completely. Your body will be covered at all times during the treatment, with the exception of the part of your body the specialist is treating. This will be exposed briefly for treatment and then re-covered. The staff is trained to make sure your privacy is protected at all times. If you are receiving a hydrotherapy service you may wish to bring a bathing suit or we will provide you disposables.

Warm water also helps prepare your body to receive the full benefits of the Spa products. We recommend you shower before your treatment.
