My sister & I went to the GF spa to treat each other to facials our last trip. I was underwhelmed. The internal waiting area was small and dim. The furniture was non-descript. Women that had just gotten manicures & pedicures were put back into the waiting area with portable drying machines. The treatment room was nice, but just like you'd see anywhere else. I guess I expected more from Disney's flagship hotel.
The spa in our own area has nicer decor and better prices. Yes, its Disney, so I expect higher prices -- but for $30 more than what I'd pay at home for the exact same service, I expected more atmosphere. And it's not like I'm a big spa monger or anything. This is a once a year treat my sister and I have gotten in the habit of giving each other -- and if it coincides with a joint WDW vacation year for us, so much the better.
We decided we most likely won't go to the GF spa again unless it has a remodel -- but we'd still like to go to a spa if possible while we're down there. Has anyone been to the spa at Saratoga Springs? If so, what did you think of it? Also, has anyone tried the spa at the Swan (or is it Dolphin)?
