Spa at Aulani

[cruisehopeful]

I'm looking for any recent experiences at the spa. Do they upsell during the treatment? They offer a poltice massage/treatment and the price shows "starting at $280" but I don't see any options on the booking app that would change the price.
I really don't like places that interrupt my zen by up selling in the midst of my treatment

How is the hydrotherapy garden?

I was there a couple of weeks ago. I think that if you're DVC blue card, they'll give you a free upgrade to heated stones, but that wasn't applicable to my kilikili treatment. They didn't try to upsell me. They automatically add a 20% tip; that's not exactly upselling, but treatments aren't cheap to begin with.

The hydrotherapy garden was open and everything was working except the hot tub; arrive an hour before your appointment to enjoy it. Be advised that their website lists some dates that the hydrotherapy garden will be closed.

They do have some drinks and snacks.

we love massages at the spa and have not had any upsell for products or extras, it does interrupt if there is some, one of the reasons i prefer not to do treatments on dcl

My daughter did the spa and really loved it. No upselling. I haven't tried it because I simply cannot relax, so massages and spas aren't my thing

I don't go to the spa on the ships for the same reason. Nothing like sitting in robe wanting to get dressed while someone won't leave the room until they recommend a bunch of overpriced products....

I used to be like you and didn't enjoy a massage because it was way too long. I used to feel like jumping off the table after about 30 minutes and declaring that I was done. For some reason I can chillax for a facial much easier than a massage.
