Can anyone recommend a good spa in Orlando, Florida?

Orlando has been considered a destination perfect for "Type A" personalities. Certainly, a seven-day visit is barely enough to scratch the surface when it comes to Theme Park Vacations|theme park thrills. But another side to Orlando has quietly emerged.

The spas have arrived! And not just any spas, either. Orlando is now home to the biggest (and most prestigious) spa brands int he country.

Consequently, a new tourist activity has emerged: spa-hopping. Borrowed from the college-age past-time of "bar-hopping," those who are looking for the spiritual equivalent of a "five day park hopper" need only check out the signature treatments at Orlando's best spas. The Big Three: 1.

Featuring one of the most extensive menu of treatments in Central Florida, this spa is also the only resort spa in Orlando to have won the prestigious Mobil Four Star Award every year since its inception. The resort charges for parking, but this can be validated.

I highly recommend the Canyon Ranch SpaClub. gaylordhotels.com/gaylord-palms/kissimme...

I went there with my mother-in-law a couple of years ago, and it was exquisite. She lives in the area and said it was the top of the line.

The range of different massage types is great...everything from deep-tissue, to hydromassage, to stone massage is offered. I can honestly say that the Abhyanga massage I received there is the best massage I've ever had. It involves two therapists performing a synchronized, full-body and head massage using warm oil.It's incredible.

They also offer an extensive selection of facial options. For a detailed list of all of their services, click this link: gaylordhotels.com/gaylord-palms/kissimme...menu-of-spa-services/index. Html#facials

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
