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

Cal-A-Vie is the finest resort I have ever experienced. The management is "hands on" and go out of their way to make your experience a success. Cal-A-Vie limits the number of guests to aroung 24 so you get super personalized attention. The fitness trainers are top notch and are very motivating. If you want to lose weight and learn how...

As soon as you arrive don't expect to relax. If they don't get you to settle your bill as you first set foot on the property they will be calling your room ASAP. There is massive construction happening. A pool, at least two other buildings, and a second home for the owners. The rooms are very nice, beds are soft... More

My sister and I decided to have a girls' vacation at a spa and chose Cal-a-Vie because of its convenient location. The setting is gorgeous, the gardens are immaculate, and the decor is impeccable. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was well-prepared but bland. The choice of exercise classes was wide but some of the instructors seemed to... More
