How to plan your spa day — logistics and tips
Plan 90–120 minutes if you want treatment time plus use of the thermal facilities and the Spa Pool. Because the spa enforces last-treatment start times, check those cutoffs when you book and allow buffer time for arrival, changing, and lounge use.
Note that the resort charges a mandatory daily resort fee that covers items such as Wi‑Fi and pool chairs/umbrellas. Parking and valet are separately charged. If you’re staying on property, ask the concierge about bundled packages or recommended treatment schedules tied to your arrival and dinner reservations.
- Allow extra time: arrive 20–30 minutes before your appointment to use lounges and check in.
- Reserve dinner or other activities after you’ve confirmed your spa end time—last-treatment times can be early evenings on weekdays.
- Resort fee covers Wi‑Fi and pool chairs/umbrellas; parking/valet is charged separately—budget for both.
- If you’re bringing children or pets, they cannot access the Spa facilities; childcare services are available for a surcharge through the resort.
| Item to arrange | Who to contact |
|---|---|
| Spa appointment | Spa desk or resort concierge |
| Pre/post-dinner reservations (Mar'Sel, Bashi, Nelson's) | Concierge or individual restaurant |
| Childcare or Tide Pool Kids Club | Resort concierge (fee applies) |
