Spa Etiquette
Arrival
We suggest you arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your first treatment to allow yourself time to check-in, change and familiarize yourself with the spa. Come early, stay late, bring a book, relax and enjoy a cup of complimentary tea, coffee, wine and refreshments that are available in our relaxation area. Arriving late will limit the time of your spa treatment, therefore lessening your pleasure. Please call (205) 319-4445 and we will make arrangements by helping you to locate a parking spot.
