Is there a spa at BWV or BCV?

[Califgirl]

I usually take the red-eye from the west coast to WDW. After checking in, since my room usually isn't ready, I like to go to a spa and take a shower, sit in the sauna and have a massage. I love the Spa at SSR, but I'm staying at BWV this time and I don't know if they have any type of facilities. Is there a spa in the BWV area? Should I just take a taxi to SSR? Will DVC give you a taxi chit to go to the spa at SSR like they do if you were to go golfing there?

You can have a massage in either place, but I think the facilities for doing so are nicer at BCV than BWV. I'm just going by what DH and DSis have said. They've used both places.

There is not a spa like SSR, but there are massages available, along with a sauna at the BW health club.

You could also walk over to the Dolphin to their spa, Mandara.

I believe it is run by a different group than the organization which manages SSR?

Lat time i checked, it was the same group that manages ssr, there are showers and bathrooms, but I think of the setup as more similar to what you might find in a 24 hour fitness. If you are looking for a spa, you may want to consider the Mandara as recommended above, or the SSR location.

Thanks for the replies.

I'm not sure if I'll wander over to Mandara, or go to SSR. I'm spoiled enough to like a spa with amenities. I went to the AKL spa in July and while the massage was fine, I was disappointed by the facilities and amenities.
Has anyone been to the Mandara spa? Does it compare to SSR?

Both the bvw and bc has a steam room. The prices for the massage is a bit less expensive then ssr. My wife was very happy with the massage at BC. I believe the bc has a better spa.
It is worth a shot if you are staying in the epcot resorts.
