Prepare for a seamless spa experience
To ensure a relaxing and enjoyable visit to Secret Garden Spa in Niagara-on-the-Lake, we’ve outlined a few helpful guidelines for your time with us. From arrival to treatment, every detail of your spa experience is designed to support a calm and effortless visit.
Reservations
Spa appointments must be reserved in advance. We recommend that you reserve your appointment at least 2 to 3 weeks in advance so that we may meet your scheduling requests, especially on weekends and during Holiday periods. We encourage you to utilize weekday appointment times for utmost serenity.
To confirm an appointment at Secret Garden Spa, you will need to provide a valid credit card number at time of reservation. All our prices are in Canadian dollars and are subject to change.
Arriving at Secret Garden Spa
Please allow adequate travel time and check traffic conditions for major highways in advance to ensure that you arrive at your scheduled treatment time. Arriving late will cheat you of precious minutes of your service, as we complete each experience on time so our next client will not be delayed.
What to Bring to the Spa
We will provide you with a robe, slippers and a secure space to store your belongings upon arrival. Please make sure you bring your own bathing suit.
We recommend that you bring only essentials with you to the spa. Please leave your valuables at home. The Spa will not assume responsibility for damaged, lost or misplaced items.
Health Form
We ask all guests to complete a mandatory health form on arrival so that our therapists can prepare your experience and offer expertise tailored to your needs. Please advise us at the time of booking of any relevant health conditions as there are some treatments that are contraindicated with certain health conditions. Please note that some conditions including recent heart surgery, active cancer diagnosis/treatment and high blood pressure may require your physician’s approval before booking or receiving a spa service.
Registered Massage Therapists
Insurance receipts can be issued for massages done by a Registered Massage Therapist. They include Therapeutic, Aromatherapy & Deep Tissue Massage. All of our massage therapists are registered at Secret Garden Spa.
Staff & Spa Service Providers
We employ both male and female professionally trained therapists.
We are committed to the principle of Employment Equity, which means we will provide equal treatment in employment and will not discriminate on the basis of race, colour, religion, or creed, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, physical handicap, age, ethnic origin, or political belief. As such, our team will never ask you for any preferences in the selection of your therapist.
Should you have a specific reason for making a request, you are welcome to share that with your Luxury Spa Advisor at the time of reservation and they will note it on your booking. While we will make every effort to accommodate your request, it is not guaranteed.
Tranquility
Our guests expect a quiet and tranquil environment. For the comfort of others, we ask that all guests respect spa etiquette. Please enjoy quiet conversation and refrain from using cell phones or other electronic devices to protect the privacy of our guests.
We are a smoke-free environment.
