Book treatments in advance
Please contact by phone or by email so that the hotel may accommodate your schedule.

Arrival time
Please arrive a minimum of 10 minutes before your scheduled treatment, to check-in and change.

What if I have special health considerations?
You will be asked to complete a brief profile at the start of your first visit. Please advise ahead of time of any special medical conditions, pregnancy, allergies or use of any prescribed medication, as certain treatments may not be recommended. If you have any concerns, please let the hotel know.

Staying hydrated
