We went in July & stayed at the GF RPC, so maybe this had something to do with it, but my dd & I were able to get a spa package with no notice. But, when we were there another mother and daughter who were stying at a diff. resort just walked up to the counter and were able to book for then. So I think if you try to make a ressies before you leave for your trip nd its all booked you may be able to just go to the spa and see if they have any cancelations. It was fairly crowded the day we went. I had the neck/back/head massage and the foot/leg massage & my daughter had the my first manicure/pedicure. The neck/back/head massage was absolutely wonderful. As for the foot/leg massage, it was a waist of money. My daughter loved her treatment, they treated her like a princess.
