ritz-carlton spa, reynolds plantation

We just returned from our second stay at this resort. Overall, it was another awesome experience and we will definitely be returning. That being said, the rooms are beginning to look tired and showing their age. We always upgrade for a lake view and it is well worth it!! The pool area is very nice and bar service is outstanding!! We never leave the property for a meal as there are a few excellent choices!! Ritz Carlton Reynolds Plantation offers first class service from the moment you arrive. We will be back~

The spa is lovely and the indoor pool with the fireplace and gorgeous vaulted ceiling is wonderful..

Well my review will vary a bit from the others I have read. I think this is a very well run 5 star destination. This is is our second trip here and I can see the reasons for some complaints about an "average" room. She normal rooms are very nice but not what one may expect from a Ritz Carlton. The bath is luxurious (watch out for wet feet on the marble floors) and has all the amenities. The room has a wonderful lodge feel, as much as a hotel room can get. The real difference in the stay is the customer service. At every junction of out stay the people here went above and beyond. We had a slight mishap at the spa but we were taken care of 100%. Unexpectedly this is a FAMILY resort. We did not bring ours this trip but there were a lot of families and they all looked to be having a good time. The Christmas decor went way beyond and had a fee dropped jaws. Over all the 5 star experience is much more than a fancy room, it is how the resort makes you feel during your entire trip and the Ritz Carlton at Reynolds Plantation does NOT disappoint.

Tucked into the wilds of Georgia , the spa is part of a beautiful "lodge" Ritz Carlton. The spa, like the hotel, is all about making the guests feel like they are the only folks on the property. Facilities are beautiful, and it is worth working out just to be greeted by the gentleman who works down there!!! He is a jewel!!!

I had a wonderful girlfriend getaway at this Ritz Carlton. We had excellent spa services, especially my Vichy body glow with Victoria. The pool, sauna, steam room areas were nice and clean. The holding room where you wait to be called by your therapist was packed. There were not enough chairs and some women had to stand until staff pulled in extra chairs. This part was not relaxing at all. Overall, it was a nice experience though.

Booked 4 spa treatments for a girls get-away before my daughters surprise engagement. I spoke with Kim, I think, at the desk weeks before and when we walked in she remembered our conversation. The atmosphere was so relaxing and you have use of the sevices all day. The service in this area was so helpful and they work deligently to keep the area extremely tidy with used towels, water containers and etc. We had one issue with a massage and when I questioned it, the desk immediately offered a couple solutions which completely corrected the situation and made for a very pleasant experience. Fireplace by hot tub, fire place by lap size pool, the ability to order lunch in and stay in your robes or cover ups, everything was just lovely. What a nice start this made to the unsuspecting bride-to-be!

We have been utilizing The Ritz since it opened. Living in Reynolds Plantation provides us access to all the events that take place at the hotel that are open to the public. Plenty of adults and kids to do here. Not a large property so your navigation is easy. The Oconee golf course is on the property. Thus, golf, boating, dining (both upscale and very casual in Gaby's) make this a great destination.

Gorgeous craftsman style lodge with 240 room, 6 cottages, ballrooms, 3 restaurants, the best golf around, and beautiful Lake Oconee. No wonder why this is where Carrie Underwood decided to book the entire Ritz for her wedding! You must stop by for food at Gabby's overlooking Lake Oconee for a breath of fresh air and beautiful scenery to lower your blood pressure.

The staff is most friendly and helpful. The facilities are outstanding! I received a custom massage from Amanda. She is wonderful...locates your trouble spots, offers helpful suggestions, and I walked out feeling like a million bucks! Been to her twice and won't go to anyone else in the future!

This spa is wonderful and a great value I had the signiture organci facial and spent the afternoon in the sauna and hot tub relaxing. Wendy gave me a wonderuful facial. It was really a wonderful experience.You can use the spa if you are just staying there so you can still get all the benefits without paying for a treatment if you don't want on.

We got a couples massage, and it was really great! The couples room is very big, and the therapists knew exactly what they are doing. I feel bad, but I am more excited about the spa area! There was so much to do- eucalyptus steam room, sauna, and then you would walk into a whirlpool or cold plunge. The steam room was great for opening up pores! There is also a multiple stream/faucet (?) shower. The changing room is very good- an attendant assigns you a locker based on shoe size, and there are private rooms for you to change into your robe. There is also a soothing waiting area before/after your treatments, where there are the latest gossip magazines, with water and snacks.The indoor pool is INCREDIBLE. It is heated and there are chairs to lounge around it, with newspapers and magazines. There is also a whirlpool in front of a fire place that is fun as well.You can also order food from the spa- my husband ordered lunch and it was very tasty and fresh.Make sure you book in advance- they said that they are busy all year round.

I will start by saying this was a very nice spa and I had a wonderful day there. My hot stone massage was wonderful. The treatment rooms are very comfortable. I went on a Saturday and the waiting room where you can sit in quiet before your treatment was full so it seemed a little cramped. It’s not very big. When I go to a spa, I look forward to using the facilities just as much as I do the spa treatment. Relaxing, reading, sitting in the hot tub, steam room, etc. Having lunch in my robe and slippers (the food was great – a limited menu, but it was nice.) I was able to do all of that - no complaints. The one thing I was disappointed in was the products. The shampoo stripped your hair so much it felt like hay. I wasn’t the only one with this observation, either. There were several of us! You had to use TONS of conditioner. And none of it smelled all nice like you would expect – the body wash, the lotion. I know this is petty, but this is the Ritz! The treatments are expensive, but that is what I would expect from the Ritz. Another thing I would expect is luxury at every turn. The products are not luxurious. I gave this review a 4 instead of a 5 because of that.

We live about 2 1/2 hours away and have visited 4 times, all one-nighters. For us, it's the perfect place to make a quick escape. We've visited in the February, March, August and November. I think November was the best time because we enjoyed the fall colors & crisp air as we sat by the lake & sipped wine. And the nightly fire around the firepit with s'mores and hot cocoa was definitely perfect in the fall atmosphere. But every time we've gone, it's been fabulous. Some day it would be nice to have extra time to enjoy the golf & spa, and the summer water activities seem fun as well. But again, all we've had time for is an arrival in the early afternoon & checkout the following morning. Food is always fabulous, too!

I have been too many four seasons and ritz spas this one is right at the top!! E X C E L L E N T!! Spa area beautiful and the massages was terrific! Book early so you get one!!you will regret if you miss it!!

A must-do experience. Crank open your wallet and be prepared to experience one of the country's greatest spas. The treatments, service, and surroundings are well worth the drive from Atlanta. This place rocks
