"A Spa Day, with my girls, was the ideal way to unwind, after a whirlwind function. The Reno/upgrades to the Grotto Spa, couldn’t have fit the bill more perfectly. Lounging in the mineral pool & whirlpool bath with infused sparkling water on demand. Yum. Kicking back in the fab new saunas. Oh Yeah. Table service at a firetable on the deck, with drinks & appies. Bring. It.⁠
⁠
By the time we hit our expertly delivered spa treatments we were sufficiently mellow & then some. To then be WOWED by our 9 course endless Tapas upstairs, complemented by an extensive beverage menu. Yes Pls. The service was exemplary. Tummies full & hearts happy, I can’t say enough about the Grotto Spa experience. The hours spent there, were among my personal fave of the week."⁠

Thank you for the wonderful review Cheryl! We are so glad you enjoyed your time with us. 🩵

What Are the Health Benefits of a Sauna?
Of the many purported benefits of sauna bathing, these five are supported by science.

-Promoting Relaxation and Reducing Stress
-Helping to Relieve Pain
-Improving Heart Health
-Improving Respiratory Tract Function
-Reducing Inflammation

While these results are promising, more research is ongoing!

Those with certain medical conditions, pregnant individuals, and those with respiratory conditions should exercise caution. It is also recommended you avoid alcohol, stay hydrated, and avoid the sauna when ill.
