We encourage guests to begin their spa experience in The Grotto up to 90 minutes prior to their scheduled treatment whenever possible, allowing the body to fully relax and prepare for service. At a minimum, we ask that guests arrive at least 60 minutes before their appointment to allow time to check in, change, and arrive to the treatment room on time.

Monday through Thursday, Grotto access is available by reservation only, featuring a 90-minute thermal experience. A limited number of same-day reservations may be available; however, booking a spa service is the best way to ensure access during peak times.

The Grotto is designed as a deeply tranquil healing environment, and we ask all guests to help preserve the calm atmosphere. Because the space is intimate and intended for quiet restoration, we kindly request soft, whisper level voices and that phones, photography, and active conversations be avoided.

Guests who wish to talk, socialize, or enjoy more lively conversation are warmly encouraged to use the outdoor pool areas, the lap pool, or other open spaces throughout the property. These areas provide a more suitable environment for gathering without disrupting the stillness within The Grotto.

By keeping this space peaceful and minimizing noise, we ensure that every guest can fully relax, unwind, and experience the restorative benefits of the thermal circuit.

Before leaving the spa, we kindly ask all guests to check out with our reception team to confirm services and complete payment. Please have your preferred form of payment ready at that time. If a guest departs without checking out to finalize payment, a default charge, including the standard 21% service charge will be automatically applied to the card used to reserve the appointment.
