I have gone to miraval quite a few times and always enoyed myself until this past experience. The spa is closed for renovations and so they are using guest rooms for services. When you book appointments, they do not tel you this and i found that quite unprofessional......do not go until the spa reopens later this year. You do not get your monies worth with pools being closed-it feels more like a glorified hotel. WAIT! It is such a wonderful experience when the spa and the amenities are open.

My company was staying at the Miraval resort. I tried to prebook some spa appointments. I called the first time for two days going through the automated system to reach the spa and everytime I called the call was disconnected before I could leave a message. Finally I called the regular reservation line and was able to book a spa appointment. The next time I tried to make an appointment for this same trip I experience the same call problem so I emailed replied to the email reservation confirmation for the first appointment that I had made. This is the response that I received:

I am sorry you were having trouble with your call. It appears you do not have an overnight reservation, is that correct? In order to have services here you must either book an overnight reservation or a day spa package. I did not find a day spa reservation for you either.
Please call if you would like to try to book a day spa. We will have to look at the availability for the dates you are interested in. A Day Spa package cost is $299.
Thank you,

Funny how I was already booked at the hotel with the rest of my company and was able to make an appoinment previously. When at the hotel I asked to speak to a manager. Leigh Ann called and left a message in my room saying she would look into it, but I never heard anything. You would think for a place that is supposed to be so mindful they would do something for the guests.

Once there the spa services were wonderful.

Two days wasn't enough if u go please don't stay less than 5 days. This resort, spa, challenge was stunnin. Pamperin to the highest. Everyone was nice and the service is amazin. Casual and relax way more than I ever expected. From the pick up to the drop off a joy. Will return as soon as I can

My husband and I stayed there for 4 wonderful days. We really relaxed. Food was healthy and very tasty. I still miss the smoothie. Each day we started with a hike. One day I did the 5 hour hike to Romero Canyon. Great!!!! The staff was also so friendly and service oriented. From the maitre d' in the restaurant (did not get his name but he was tall with a BIG smile!) to the hike guides (Ian, Leslie and Lewis YEAH!), to the pilates mat instructor to the smoothie ladies.
The hikes are a great way to start the day. Either the 2 hour hikes or the longer ones. The scenery is beautiful and boy did that PBJ sandwich taste wonderful.

Can't wait to go back...
