spa at SSR vs. spa at GF?

[disneyholic family]

has anyone been at the spa at SSR?
how does it compare to the spa at the GF?
is the atmosphere the same? are the facilities as nice?
are the CMs as accomodating?
do they have the same treatments available?

If you do a search here on the resorts board you will find many discussions about the spas at WDW.

when i looked before there was info on GF and some of the other smaller spas, but i couldn't find anything on the SSR spa....

i suppose while i'm asking, does anyone know if bikini waxes are available at any of the disney resorts? I know they do them at portofino bay at universal, but that's a bit far to travel just to have some pain inflicted on oneself....

I can't help you as to which is better b/c we haven't tried either of them yet! But here is a link for the SSR spa - http://www.relaxedyet.com/saratoga_springs_spa.shtml

It also has info on the GF spa too. We are SSR DVC owners but have only been there once and we did look at the reception area of the spa and it did seem very nice. I'm giving my mom and sister treatments there on our May trip as their birthday present so we're very excited!

Hope this helps - aurie

No waxing at WDW spas or salons.

too bad about the waxing...so i guess we'll have to drag ourselves over to universal for that...

as for SSR, i'll let you know how it compares to GF, if we deside to try something there next week...

My family group prefers the Spa at SSR over the one at the Grand Floridian. We found the staff to be more helpful, friendly and the services offered are the same so we went with the service edge.
