We took our 4 teenaged grandchildren to the Amelia Island Plantation for an after Christmas getaway. Our first time at the resort and everything was great and exceeded our expectations........except the Spa. I have been to other resort spas across the country and this one really surprised me as to the price. I wanted to treat my 2 granddaughters to a teen facial as they had never experienced one. I called the Spa in the morning and I was able to get two appointments together that evening at 6 pm. I told the lady handling my request that my granddaughters had never had facials before and that they had ethic skin. I was assured this would be no problem. When we arrived 15 minutes early, we were welcomed and asked to have a seat; they would be with us shortly. I was expecting some sort of questionaire to be filled out, as this is what I am accustomed to at other spas, detailing what our skins needs are and so forth. Nothing like this was offered. Two elderly ladies came out to fetch my g-daughters and in an hour I returned to two very happy young ladies - they loved how their faces felt. Well my face fell when I was presented with the bill! Each teen facial was $125, plus a $25 gratuity added on, since the Amelia Island Plantation is a "no-tipping" resort. Add on tax and it came to $303! I paid it without quibble as I did not want to make my g-daughters feel bad. My fault was not asking the price up front. Unless this resort adjusts the prices, I will not be taking up a facial or massage at this establishment again.
