Good day, Sandi!

You were so excited to finally get to the spa, that you just threw your suitcases into the room, jumped into your bathing suits and flip flops and headed right to the pool. Oh, the feeling of that pool is going to be great after that long flight and the hamburgers you have been hearing about are calling your name. You can smell the BBQ waft your way, as you open the doors to the pool area. You turn the corner and no one is wearing clothes! Surprise!

Don't be afraid to ask questions that you might have ahead of time. Many people avoid spas because they're not sure what to ask or what might be asked of them. Remember, this is YOUR spa vacation, so you deserve to get the experience that you want.

Is there something in the spa that you find is necessary? Do you want a Jacuzzi tub? Do you care if it is co-ed or not? Do the majority of the guests wear a bathing suit?
