The Spa FAQ
Cancellations must be made 24 hours prior to your appointment to avoid being charged in full.
To have the most treatment choices and options, we encourage guests to schedule service appointments two weeks in advance. Although it is possible to walk-in and schedule an appointment, availability becomes limited and in many cases we are fully committed with other guests.
Want to avoid the crowds? Try reserving a treatment during off-peak hours or during the week (non-holidays).
In addition to a swimsuit, bring attire for other activities you plan to enjoy: light, comfortable attire for fitness activity, gear and boots for hiking, sneakers for an exercise class at The Spa at Boyne Mountain, or comfortable clothing for dining in a restaurant.
Please be courteous to others - turn off ringers and keep phone conversations to a minimum.
A spa is a great place to get a little alone time, so it's best not to bring children under the age of 16.
Select teen facials are available for youth ages 12 and up.
Salon services are available for youth of all ages.
Be sure to speak up. All aspects of treatment can be modified to your taste: amount of light, kind (or absence) of music, temperature, and whether or not you choose to have a conversation or enjoy the treatment in silence. If you want the therapist to give you a deep massage, or be gentler, let him or her know.
Also, feel free to ask questions. Your therapist will enjoy knowing your thoughts and clarifying any issues you may have. If any part of your experience is unsatisfactory, first tell the therapist. If the response isn't helpful, speak to a manager of The Spa.
Please keep conversations at a low volume in treatment areas, especially the relaxation room.
Try not to eat for at least an hour before a treatment and avoid consuming alcohol on the day of a treatment. Drink plenty of water before and afterward, especially if you plan to take a fitness class or enjoy heat therapy, such as a sauna, steam, or whirlpool.
On arrival at The Spa ask for a tour prior to your treatment. The tour will acquaint you with your surroundings and introduce you to the spa facilities, such as saunas, steam rooms, outdoor pool, fitness room and relaxation rooms.

In your spa locker, you will find a robe. It is important that you are comfortable and able to relax.
