My wife has been going to Cal a Vie for a few years and, in a moment of weakness, I said I would join her for a short week this year. It was fabulous. The site is stunning, the facilities are world class and the staff was, almost without exception, the absolute best blend of skill and personality you could... More

Not knowing what to expect, we arrived on a Thursday and were treated to one of the most satisfying health spa experiences ever. The classes, the staff, the scheduling, all were first rate. The food, however, so far exceeded our expectations that superlatives are not enough. If you are looking for a spa to start, restart, or to enhance your... More

This was my 3rd year visiting. It is a perfect place to either restart a healthy lifestyle, maintain it or simply test the waters of different exercise regimes. Early morning hikes and walks for those who wish and excellent instructors. Exercise classess are mostly in the morning leaving the afternoon free for spa treatments and relaxation. The facilities are second... More

Cal-a-Vie is a very special place. Just ask anyone you run into while there. It is chock full of luxury, activities, experts and spa treatments. It costs more than my first new car, and I'm not "that" old. But, it is somehow worth every penny to spend a few days getting a tune-up, working out, eating delicious yet somehow low-calorie... More

The service and attention to detail here is unrivaled at any other spa that I have been to. It is beyond beautiful here and reminds me of being in Provence. The classes, the food, the spa services and the rooms are amazing. This will be a twice yearly trip for me! More

I have visited so many spas over the years, some of them many times over. I am now ruined to even think of visiting any other than Cal-a-vie. This includes the Golden Door- it can't even touch Cal-a-vie- sorry. I couldn't find anything to complain about if I tried. They bend over backwards to make your visit specific to your... More

I did the 4 nights package at the hotel in March 09. This is a perfect place to come by yourself and relax if that is what you are looking for. Even though they concentrate on fitness, I was able to take mind/body classes and just chill. The only complaint I have is when I first arrived at the hotel... More

I am a return guest to Cal-a-Vie and will return again. I have been with my spouse and an individual traveler and this time with friends. All visits were wonderful and I felt comfortable and at ease in all three situations. The first visit was a romantic week with my husband that was a kickstart to a healthy lifestyle TOGETHER....

I was invited as a guest because I occasionally review spas and was a beauty columnist many years ago. My first two visits to Cal a- vie were wonderful and I was expecting the same on this third visit. Instead I found that management had the audacity to scold me for statements I had not made but were reported that... More
