I was in Costa Rica for work and had some free time, and so I had been searching for some spas in Costa Rica. Pure Vida kept coming up in my searches as a “highly rated” spa, so it caught my eye. In the end, on that particular trip, I ended up going to...
The Spa at the Intercontinental Hotel in the Escazu Neighborhood, outside of San Jose, Costa Rica claims to be the largest urban spa in Central America, so of course I had to check it out. As a hotel spa, the locker room is used for not only spa-goers but also those looking to work out...
The Spa Peninsula NYC tied for first place on Conde Nast Traveler’s 2012 Top 75 Hotel Spas (US Mainland). So that seemed a logical pick for a spa visit in NYC. I was impressed that for a hotel they also offered some fitness classes, which as a spa guest you have access to....
I was recently in Walt Disney World for a RunDisney event, (1/2 marathon, thank you very much). So naturally I had to check out the spa scene while I was there. Since I was staying at the Swan property (SPG member), I figured that I would go there. I did notice that the spa on...

My friend, Mandy, a long-time vacationer to Nantucket, brought the Spa at the White Elephant Hotel to my attention. We were planning a long weekend visit in Nantucket, and she of course knew about my love of spas. It was a quick trip, and I wasn’t sure if I would squeeze it in. However, at...
Sometimes its hard to find a good spa. Even though I look at all the sites – SpaFinder, TripAdvisor, Searches, Other Blogs Articles and Rankings, I am sometimes surprised by what comes rated fairly highly on those sites versus my own experience. I talked previously about a trip I was taking for work in Tampa,...
Woodloch caught my eye by its rankings on the Top Destination Spas. It my quest to hit all the Top Destination Spas (#SpaBucketList), I was deciding on which spa to try next after Mii Amo when I came across an offer for the Lodge at Woodloch on Rue La La. Woodloch is a different departure...
Rescue Spa is a Philly institution. I was aware of the spa but first became really intrigued after an article in Philly Magazine. In it the owner, Danuta Meiloch, was seated at the pedicure station. Knowing that I was on a mission to visit as many spas as I could, especially in my home...
