The day we went seemed to be short staffed, so things took longer than expected, but our experience overall was great. When they were ready for us, they guided us to the fitting rooms with showers. We were given shoes, robes, towels, and tote bags. There are no official lockers here, so you are welcome to take your tote with you into your private bath. The fitting room had everything you needed. When we were ready we had another long wait, but were invited to enjoy the sauna. They gave us refreshing mint iced washcloths for the sauna that I loved. They have a menu with a bunch of great add-ons, I decided to stick with the water, but my best friend got the coconut water. When our bath was ready, they showed us a map on how to get down to our soak. We walked down a beautiful hill path to our bath overlooking the forest. Even though we started late, they still gave us the full hour. The intercom system seems to be a bit older. There was an awkward moment where they tried to speak to us, but we couldn't hear them over the hot tub bubbles, when I went back to ask them what they said, they never replied. Besides that, we had a wonderful time. Be mindful that the drive up is a bit confusing, you'll want to do a mix of following their signs and your GPS. The experience is also a bit pricey for what it is, but I'm still glad I tried it with my best friend.

My best friend and I came to Asheville from Atlanta and this was the highlight of our visit…read more Everyone was so nice and we enjoyed the experience. I do have to say though, that we were both a little surprised and disappointed in the amount of time that the foot soak/massage session lasted. On our confirmation email, stated that the session would last 2 hours and 30 minutes. Our session was by no means that long. The price of the Ashi Foot Soak was expensive, $175.00 is a lot of money for about an hour long session and to say that we were a bit let down is an understatement.

Arrived at salon at 12:58, checked in, easy enough. Waited for an extra 17 minutes with no acknowledgement. Ultimately decided that the salon has forgotten the value of its customers' time. Business lost. Quite a shame as it used to be a quality salon and great place to buy Aveda products. New location is more convenient which is a plus. However the new lobby is tiny and the chairs are not comfortable enough for delayed appointments.

It also included heat, pressure, and aromatherapy in unique ways that all worked together to create a wonderfully rejuvenating experience. I cannot recommend this treatment more highly. The overall atmosphere of the spa is a bit crowded with lots of small spaces. It can be difficult to enjoy the other features of the spa, as there may be other people already occupying the areas you would like to be in. The pools are very nice, but they are all co-ed. Bathing suits are required throughout, which is less comfortable than a European style spa with separate sex pools. Would come again just for the massage!

Yes, with the pools, hot tub, steam, cold plunge and peaceful sitting areas, plus outdoor views, it is a world-class spa, an Asheville high-dollar treat for sure. But WHO, on an average income, can actually afford it? Are only the well-to-do entitled to such niceties? Yes, I'd love to visit the spa again with a close friend to pamper ourselves one day...but..we'd need to pay to spend a night (or 2) in the inn and then "maybe" be lucky enough to have day passes issued to us - no guarantee that would happen. If I read the Omni info correctly, a stand-alone day pass runs about $250, and may OR may not be available on certain days, who knows? It sickens me to learn the Grove Park Inn (pre-Omni) charged around $100 for a spa day pass, and the public was welcome to experience it. Now, only the wealthy, or those who run their credit cards sky high, deserve the pleasure. It would be nice if Omni management designated several spa half-price public days in advance (like maybe in the slow travel months). Would be a gesture of corporate kindness, for sure, to patrons without the big-time bucks. Thanks for listening, if you are.

She easily answered questions after and before about what to expect and offered us tips on how best to relax and enjoy our experience. You lock up your goodies in a large dresser while inside and are encouraged not to bring electronics in (the salt can be corrosive to batteries) and must wear socks. The spa and gift shop area is really nice and we saw a ton of beautiful salt lamps inside the gift shop after our hour. I loved the themed items for sale and their body oils and salt scrubs are phenomenal. The salt cave itself is pretty impressive and a unique experience I hadn't ever tried before. I believe she said there were 30 tons of rock salt inside and it was even hanging from the ceiling! It's based upon an original such cave in Poland. Loved it. Highly recommend you come and try this if you are open to new experiences and have never done it.
