Spa at AKV - best service?

[gradie42]

What is the best service at the spa? And are there any services that would be good for 10 year old girls?

I don't think that AKV has a spa. The best spa on property used to be at SSR, it was rated better than GF which might be closed due to the VGF construction.

You may want to check through the podcast archives, I believe Teresa and one of her daughters review the spa at the GF.
The dolphin also has a well reviewed spa "Madera"
I'm not sure about the age requirements though.

The spa at GF is closed at this time.

The spa at SSR is really nice. I have heard good things about the one at the Swan/Dolphin but have not visited it.

As others have said, there is no spa at AKV. At Jambo House there is a fitness center where you can get a massage, but they offer no other spa-type services.

I had a massage at Jambo house while staying at Kidani and I wouldn't do it again. You basically just go into the gym/fitness room and then they take you back to a little room where you have the actual massage. The spa at Saratoga Springs, on the other hand, I would return to in a heartbeat! It was more of the whole spa experience. There is a hot tub, showers, locker room, lounge, sauna, etc. I spent the entire afternoon there and it was amazing!! If you're willing to travel to Saratoga, I would highly recommend that over Jambo.

My DD had a kid's facial at the SSR spa at around your DD's age. She loved it!!

The SSR (Niki Bryan) spa is very nice and so is the Mandara at the Dolphin. If you are wanting to impress your girls with an over the top experience, the Mandara is much more impressive in the decor/public areas. I have found the treatments to be equal (both of these spas are nicer than the temporarily closed GF spa).

I'm not sure of the age limit at Mandara though.

Thanks everyone! I have had a massage at Jambo House and it was very quiet that day and the massage itself was impressive. I've only had one service at SSR, but think the girls would like it better. We might head over that way -
