The Briars Spa is committed to having the benefits of a spa visit extend well after guests return home. Our instructional programs include power walks, Hatha yoga classes and personal fitness consultations. Our spa shop sells the same quality Phytomer products that guests enjoy during their treatments.

If you are planning a spa experience as part of your Briars stay, please phone ahead to book treatments and avoid disappointment.

Preparing for a Spa Visit
	For your comfort, bring only yourself. We will wrap you in a luxurious robe and provide slippers, towels, showers and toiletries. To encourage complete relaxation for yourself and others, please leave your cellular phones and pagers behind. The Briars Spa is not responsible for lost items, so we suggest that you leave valuables at home or in a Briars safety deposit box. We do not provide child care services in the spa; mothers with young children are encouraged to find appropriate care for their loved ones during treatment time. All guests under 18 must have the health form we provide signed by their parent or guardian, and the minimum age for spa guests is 13 years.
To Reserve Spa Treatments
	Our spa programmers are available to assist with your spa wish list, daily from 9am to 6pm. To avoid disappointment, please book treatments as far in advance as possible. A major credit card is required to confirm services. We may extend hours for groups of four or more upon request and availability.
Time of Arrival and Cancellations
	Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled treatment time. This ensures you receive your full service. Arriving late will deprive you of precious minutes of your treatment. Full charge will apply. Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice will be subject to 100% payment. Groups of 5 or more must provide 14 days notification of cancellation, or the group will be subject to 100% payment.
Preparing for a Treatment
	Upon arrival, you fill out a case history form. This allows our spa therapists to be aware of any medical conditions that may affect your treatment. The degree to which you disrobe depends on the treatment. We respect your privacy at all times. Our therapists will drape towels or sheets discreetly over areas of the body not involved in the treatment. If you have any questions concerning your treatments, our spa programmers will be pleased to guide you in your choices.
Therapists
	Briars therapists are all registered or certified in their profession. Receipts for insurance plans are available for treatments booked with a Registered Massage Therapist (R.M.T.). The Briars Spa offers both male and female therapists subject to availability and booking times.
Spa Cuisine
	Meals may be included in your package or purchased as an add-on to any services. Visitors are welcome in Drinkwaters' Lounge, the Dining Room or on the Patio. Dress code may apply. Please call the spa for details.
Day Spa
	Day spa is available Sunday afternoon to Friday (except long weekend Sundays). Reservations are required. "Day Spa Packages" provide a complimentary lunch and a Recreation Pass that includes use of the pool, whirlpool, sauna, fitness facilities, tennis courts and walking trails. A Recreation Pass is also available for $15 with a minimum purchase of $155 in spa services. Single services are available. The spa is available seven days a week for overnight guests. The Briars Golf Club is available only to overnight guests and members.
Gift Certificates
	For those special gifts, we suggest a Briars Spa Gift Certificate. Place your order by phone, fax or in person.
Handicapped Accessibility
	There is wheelchair access to the spa by elevator adjacent to the resort reception.
Method of Payment
	Guests may sign their spa services to their room. Day spa visitors or guests who have already checked out may pay at the spa reception desk. Visa, MasterCard, Amex, Direct Debit, Diners Club or cash are accepted.
