The spa service is impeccable with extra-friendly staff on hand to escort spa patrons (whose only requirement is to hold on to antler locker keys and sip herbal tea) from spa lounge to treatment room. The low-lit hallways add to the getaway spa atmosphere with white scented candles and Carapan bath salts, massage oils and body lotions lining the shelves.
