The Ritz Carlton Spa in Orlando Florida has only been with us for five short years and has had its share of growing pains, yet today it redeemed itself with flying colors. My sister, mom and I went to relax, pamper ourselves and reconnect and the staff at this premium spa made this amazingly easy.

As soon as you walk into the spa, the staff tells you to leave the world behind you. You are given your robes and slippers and brought to a lounge with fresh fruit and ice cold water tinged lightly with the taste of fresh oranges. I scheduled a seaweed wrap and although the girl performing it looked young enough to be my daughter, her demeanor and technique were amazing.

My sister had the same and loved it and my mom had an anti-aging facial that she absolutely raved about. She  told the skin care professional assigned to her that it was the best facial that she has ever had. She wasn’t just being polite either. My sister and I could not believe how amazing her skin looked. She looked years younger, refreshed and without a bit of redness!

We then wandered down to the spa cafe, where most people lounged in their robes and had bottles of water and delicious light dishes like bento boxes with grilled chicken and your choice of 3 vegetables.

During your spa day you are allowed to linger at the Ritz until 9pm. You can go to the pool, the sauna or just hang out in the lounge. If we hadn’t had a full day scheduled after our treatments, I am sure that we would have taken advantage of this access. Oh well, all the more reason to return.

Check this amazing spa out for yourself. Here is the spa menu:
