I have been going to this spa for years and have had manicures, pedicures, deep tissue massages, and bamboo massages. The facilities are great as are the check-in and locker room staff. I hate manicures in general, but their manicures are the best that I have had. The pedicures last for weeks. The main reason that I come to this Spa is to have a deep tissue massage. I have a stressful job and I constantly have knots that appear in random places on my back that I can't get out by myself. Scott gives the best massages that I have ever had, and I have yet to develop a neck or back ache that he could not get rid of. Scott can be difficult to book, so plan ahead. Russ is another great therapist, but I am not sure of his current availability. Make sure to be clear with the appointment staff what your issues are, what your comfort level is with getting a massage, and your preference on gender. They always have a great way of matching the therapist to the client.

A day at the spa with my daughter-in-law--what a delightful experience. It is relaxing the moment you enter the doors--i had a signature spa facial with Susan--what a delight and what a gal to keep around--i could have fallen asleep-she was excellent. My daughter-in-law had a pregnancy massage-and enjoyed it -we meet to have lunch--it was delicious--so quiet -so peaceful--thank you for giving us a great day--

This is a destination spa. Always great staff and relaxing and very peaceful atmosphere. Food is excellent as well. We like to go for lunch by the pool followed by the best couples massage we have ever had!My sisters recently joined us for a spa day and everyone agreed it was the best experience you could ask for. Lunch was fantastic, and facials and massages exceeded expectations. You could easily make a great girls weekend out of it and stay at the hotel with buildings either across the street on the ocean, or down the road a couple of blocks.

I went for a day at the spa and it was everything I needed and more. I got a hot stone massage, and a mani and pedi done. All services were spectacular and with the in between time I layed by the outdoor pool and it was so peaceful and serene.

Total relaxation in a beautiful and relaxing enviroment. This spa is a very large self contained building seperate from the hotel. Beautiful entrance, friendly & professional staff, high quality and standards for treatments, service and food is wonderful. Girlfriends day at the spa was quite a treat. When you have a service at the spa you have complete access and use of entire facility including a beautiful hydortherapy pool, sun loungers, restaurant, luxurious locker room with all the spa amenitites you can imagine. I would fly there just for a day to do it all again.

Love this spa. Especially the treatments and the private pool area to enjoy when you are there. Great cabanas and great food selections. I enjoy the body scrubs. They are great. The service is spectacular and the spa experience is top notch!

Went in for a pedicure and fell in love with the staff! I mean, who could ask for more, a gorgeous spa on the beach, beautiful massage pools, wet or dry sauna, and so much more. If you get a mani/pedi ask for MACEY she is amazing! You're gonna love it! Can't wait to go back!

The amenities are great. Give yourself extra time to lounge by the pool and enjoy the steam room, hot tubs, and even lunch at the restaurant within the spa.

I have been to many spas, but this was my favorite so far. From the service to the ambiance, I couldn't have asked for a better day. All the staff was attentive and made you feel special. I enjoyed a quench body scrub and then spent the rest of the day relaxing by the private outdoor pool. Had a delicious lunch poolside as well. Outdoor cabana staffed with very nice attendants who took great care with everyone. Looking forward to going back in July on my next visit.

The ambiance and service is top notch at this spa. It is huge in size and great location to the Lodge & Inn. The scents offered for my massage were perfect and you could blend them. After our treatments we spent the afternoon by the spa pool which is complete with a full service cabana and attentive attendants. We enjoyed the tenderloin trio and the lemon sorbet with berries (which was SO good we had another one a few hours later!) My only complaint was that during my 80 minute massage ...about 25 minutes I listened to sales pitches. My masseuse was so sweet I kept thinking she was done but a few minutes later she would recommend more vitamins and creams and more and more. I had a recommendation list of 7 products at the end of my massage and quickly remembered my rookie mistake - at the beginning of a massage to tell the therapist that I prefer very little talking (But that sounds so rude! so I hate to say it). Anyways I have had dozens of massages and in the last couple of years the product selling as gone done significantly so I was not prepared for my sales pitch massage. Even when I checked out the desk staff said ____ recommended XXX products for you. I was like yes I know thank you anyways I appreciate that. We spent almost a grand in one day so you think they would quit with the sales pitches, anyways other than that we LOVED the spa and the lovely staff. I was with a group and half the group was sold to by both men/women and the other half of the group said their massages were quiet with little conversation, so just make sure you are firm at the beginning of your treatment that you enjoy a quiet treatment. Beautiful pool though, definitely make a stop here for an entire day. Bring your $$$ it's pricey ;)

How is it possible that I've lived in North Florida for over 5 years and just treated myself to the Spa at Ponte Vedra Inn & Spa? On a recent day off from work I decided to finally visit this Spa that I've heard so much about. I felt guilty spending this much time and money on myself, but that guilt soon faded as I walked through the doors and began my experience. And what an experience it was! It is decadent and indulgent from beginning to end with a focus on making you as relaxed and comfortable as possible. I had absolutely no problem spending almost 6 hours here in total relaxation mode (something that is rare for me). I had 2 different services: a wonderful facial by a very experienced aesthetician and something called the Ultimate Zen which defies explanation and must be experienced to appreciate; it was over the top!The spa itself is huge and beautiful with opportunities to relax at every turn. There are comfortable lounge chairs throughout depending on what setting you want. The pool outside with its cascading waterfall literally lulled me into a nap in between my services - so lovely! There's also a meditation room. a steam and sauna room, a hot tub, a comfortable locker room to change into your robe and slippers, many showers fully stocked with some of their beautiful spa products. and a cafe for delicious spa cuisine. I've been to many spas around the country in some of the nicest 5 star hotels and this ranks as one of the best. I cannot wait to return. What a delicious, guilty pleasure!

WOW! I'm impressed. I've been to spas at MANY Ritz Carlton's and other 5 star hotels but this is my favorite spa to date!We've been coming to Ponte Vedra Inn for years. We love it here but for some reason, I had never been to the spa. That won't be happening again. In fact, when we come.... going to the spa will be on the top of my list. My massage therapist was Sara and she was AMAZING! She seemed to really care about my personal needs. She asked questions so that she could choose just the right "pressure" and scent for my 80 minute massage. I asked for the massage to be "firm" and that it was. It's a good thing we don't live close by.... I would be here ALL the time! :) She made sure I didn't have any health concerns, allowed me to pick the oil scent (even mix them) and select the pressure. She asked throughout the massage if the pressure was OK! She told me my shoulder was very tight and even suggested stretches that would help my aches in my shoulder. I couldn't have been more impressed with Sara!The spa itself is HUGE. Go prepared to spend the day. At most spas, I'm not inclined to spent too much time there (which is always a bummer) but this spa makes you not want to leave. You can eat lunch in their cafe area from 11 am to 3 pm. It is HUGE. They have a pool that is so relaxing that is only for spa guests and chairs and relaxation galore. There is even a meditation room. I will be back and I can't wait. Not sure what took me so long! Hope to be back soon!

Come early and stay late.....comfortable, clean and welcoming spa with plentiful parking. Yes it is expensive but my body polish and mini massage with Olga rocked! We thoroughly enjoyed the steam and indoor and outdoor pools. Drinks from the Cabana and a nice selection of choices for lunch made for a great relaxing splurge.
