All GF rooms get the body butter , soap , shampoo and conditioner. I've only received the mint foot rub when I was staying RPC.

It was in the SL rooms.

Grannyminnie Thanks! I knew someone would have the right answer...I guess GV has everything but the mint foot rub...

Belinderella The foot rub is really nice..refreshing and kind of tingly...especially at the end of a long day on your feet...if its something that you think you would like they do sell it in Sandy Cove... Just realized that your trip is less than a month away... Have a great time!!

I am excited...I have seen some raves about these product and I can't wait to try them! Thanks for the help

This is our first stay at GF and I have been studing the GF forum, but I get a little confused sometimes. We want to pack light and usually I take hair & bath products but I keep reading the rave about the H2O products. Not familiar with this at all. We have GV (CL wasnt available), so is these products in these rooms also and if so should I not take my own?
Robes...in GV rooms also? If so they do not have them for the little ones right?
I read where someone had a case of wine delivered to their room...from where?

Now that I know how wonderful the H2O products are I leave my stuff at home and just use the H2O.
However , since you've never tried the H2O products , I would suggest taking your own products with you in case you don't like the H2O
As far as the robes , there are 2 adult robes in the closet of every room at the GF. They do not offer child size robes :-(

Thanks...we are so excited to be staying at the GF...trying to get our packing started (this is the worst part). Last year we over packed but didnt have enought warm clothes (it was chilly) so this year I need to be better prepared and if I can cut out shampoo, conditioner and soap, thats a start!

The GF uses the H2O spa line....green sea marine & sea salt stuff...and I can see how some might not care for the scent...but I LOVE it..I think it's very fresh and clean.

They are having some GREAT SALES!!!!

I can't believe I haven't posted in this thread before, as GF is my absolute favorite resort.

We're returning to Sugar Loaf from August 9th to 16th, so excited!

Hi, folks!

We are returning to the GF this May. We have stayed there once before. But, it has been a few years. I have a rather mundane question for you.

Last time, we were in Boca Chica and we found having a laundry just a couple of floors below us particularly handy. This time we will be in the main building. Where is our nearest laundry? Can't be too prepared.

Thank you.

On the second floor of the main building. Have fun!

 

[followthatmouse]

Thank you very much!

 

[BCV23]

You're welcome. I should have mentioned that you will need to take the pool elevator to access the second floor unless of course your room is on that floor. That elevator is down the hall from the desks or lounge.

Happy planning!

 

[followthatmouse]

Ooh, thank you for the extra info.

Planning a trip is half the fun! It's particularly nice when you have the prospect of a GF stay in mind.

Another newbie here to this GF thread.
This Sept will be our first stay at the GF and club level too!

Previously, we had been a Poly-kind-of-family, but we all agreed that we wanted to try something different this year. And since I'll be turning the big "four-oh" during our trip, my vote for the GF overruled DH's for the Beach Club.

Also wanted to add my two-cents on the H20+ products.... If they're the same ones that they provide on the cruise ships, they are absolutely AWWWWWWWSOME! All I wanted for Christmas last year was the Hydrating Body Butter. So between DH and DSis, I got 4 tubes!!!

I just LOVE the H2O body butter as well. I always leave mousekeeping a kind little note begging for some extra body butter everyday
