The Spa At Ponte Vedra Inn & Club

This review comes from a person who is experienced in spas. This one is just average, although it has a fancy name and location. Be aware… your gratuity is automatically included. When this happens, I’m fully expecting the customer service to be exceptional. That is not the case at this spa. They don’t have to work hard for tips, it’s automatically given.
Staff knew we had never been, and even remarked about it, but showed us to the lockers and left. Not even an orientation to the spa. Average massage, average spa lunch. One server for about 10 tables and 30 people in he place. Yes, it was agonizingly SLOW.
I was expecting the hot tub inside the spa to be much larger. It only fits 2 people comfortably. I’m 5’2, and when I sat down in the hot tub, the water came up to my belly button. Proper spa jacuzzi depth water should come up to your shoulder line, on anyone. Bad design here.
The outside is gorgeous, but this time of year there needs to be heat lamps outside and temp of the water features in the pool needs to be warm when you step in. It was cold, and there was no one in the pool. What a shame. I think the outside is the star of this spa, such a gorgeous setting for a girls get together with an impressive drinks menu.
If you have been to many resort spas, you may be disappointed in this one, especially if it’s winter. The service all around is sub par. Check out desk had a couple of time clock punchers if you get my drift. No friendliness, what a drag.
They don’t have to try so hard here, and it shows. The good thing about this spa, is if you are a newbie, you are going to love it. If you are seasoned spa goer, you will probably be disappointed.
Within this community, I was expecting similar to Anara, Orchid, Spa Grande, or even Burke. Not even close… but the same price.
I will probably try the one down at the other end of the beach before I would come back here.

A slice of heaven. The atmosphere is posh but comfortable. I had a day of beauty, which included 2 massages, a facial, a mani/​pedi — all of the providers were outstanding, especially Jenna.

I just took my best friend here for her birthday and was blown away. Granted, it was both of our first time at a spa, but the level of service and attentiveness was impeccable. From the moment we arrived, to the time we checked-​out, the staff made sure that we were without want.
After checking-​in, we were given a tour of the facilities. From the waiting room to the lounge, to the pool, the entire premise surrounds you with an overwhelming sense of serenity. We did the Sweeheart Package (massage, facial & pedicure) and brunch by the pool. Our specialists did well to make sure that we were comfortable and relaxed during the whole treatment. It was an added bonus that each guest has full reign on the amenities, once inside the spa. After our package, we were able to continue relaxing in the sauna and by the pool.
Whether you signed up for a package or a single treatment, The Spa at Ponte Vedra is a great place to relax and let your worries slip away.

I love this place! Great massages! Hot guys! And women… Lol. Feels like this is too high end for Jacksonville being so close. For ponte vedra probably mediocre :).

Certainly has a welcoming staff (5 stars) and knowledgable technicians. The space is soothing and relaxing and they have great products in their spa boutique.
Their nail technicians were extremely detail oriented and every appointment is minimum 50 minutes. Sit in that really relaxing massage chair (that is a really nice one!) for 50 minutes and get pampered. They also carry vinylux (sp?) which is $ 5 additional, but so worth it because that nail polish stays on for over 9 days! I even moved boxes during this time, and it’s still there, no chips at all. Amazing. It comes off quite easily w/​standard nail polish remover, and no damage that the gel polish has.
The is of course the great amenities in the locker room and a hot tub inside the locker room.
Outside is a nice patio lounge area as well as a relaxation pool w/​5 different settings (jets, waterfall, etc.)
For those wives joining while their spouses are at a conference at PV, this is must!
Their massage rooms (including the double rooms) have their own dedicated shower and patio! Serenity to spend the rest of your day in.

Nice but overpriced.

I cannot believe I haven’t reviewed this place yet. It is amazing! They have everything from facials, massages, hair, makeup, and nail care. The great room is a wonderful place to relax, as well as the outside pool. I could spend the entire day here. They also have steam and sauna rooms as well as lockers. This is a perfect place to have a girls day or come by yourself to relax. I will return!

My in-​laws belong to this club and invited us to come down when we were vacationing in Florida. The girls had a blast down by the pool and beach while we went to workout. Their gym has a variety of equipment that they wouldn’t even let me wipe down because they said they would take care of it when I asked for some stuff to wipe it down with. The view while working out is spectacular. You can see the pool area and and amazing view of the beach. The workers treat everyone with the utmost respect. Didn’t have a chance to visit the spa but it’s definitely on my list next time. We used my mom’s governor’s key card to use the private entrance to the beach. I’ve never seen so many seashells before. Dolphin pairs were frolicking in the water, live starfish washed up on shore, along with a few jelly fish. This inn and club is amazing and serene. I actually felt like one of the many rich and famous people that visit. The men’s and ladies locker rooms have a sauna and hot tub area in the back. They provide blow dryers, lotions, combs, mouthwash etc. such a high quality place. They had a huge Christmas tree in their lobby. I only got to check out a little part of the club but I hear the rest is pretty awesome, too. Can’t wait to go back

SEVEN Stars if I could and I’ve never said that before.
Best spa I have been to in the world, hands down. Gorgeous at every turn. Disregard any review not giving this place the full five stars.
They have an exquisite dining area so plan on making that part of your spa day.
Walking out the the unique and amazing pool, you can easily feel transported back in time to the springs of Atlantis or any other culture using beauty and tranquility to heal. It is beyond gorgeous and spectacular.
Pedicure nicely priced. Other services priced in line with most other spa.
Only thing that brought me displeasure was a practice 98% of spas do when getting a facial. They drill you about the products you use and try to say theirs are so much better that you really should buy them. I loathe that especially since I use fabulous products. The fee places that don’t do this, make me actually want to purchase products from them. Those that do, repel me away from buying.
Wonderful shop filled with all sorts of aesthetic products, soft lounging clothes and other great finds like candles and comfy slippers. Each item was unique.
Love this place!

I absolutely love this spa! I love the beautiful outdoor area and amenities. They have a very friendly and attentive staff. I try to visit this spa every time we are in town visiting family! Definitely worth every penny!

What a treat! I hadn’t been to the spa at PVIC for a while. The new facility is quite an upgrade. The pool is awesome! A relaxing day in the sun.

For all the amenities this spa offers I think it’s a great value. Loved my service yesterday and plan to return today for additional services.

Not impressed at all. The spa is beautiful and tranquil however the cost isn’t worth it. I went with my mom and aunt before my wedding for mani/​pedi. They didn’t have a very good selection of colors and they didn’t have any brand name polish (OPI or Essie). The mani was ok but she didn’t even cut my cuticles and the pedicure didn’t have anything special… No scrubs or paraffin like it get at other salons. Both my mom and me got gel nail polish and the tech didn’t even do it right and had to re do it. When we checked out the bill was $ 150!!! Most expensive mani/​pedi I have ever had and was not worth it at all!!! I would consider going back for a massage but not for the nail salon.

When you want to escape & you can’t afford to fly to the islands, The Spa at PV Inn & Club is a nice substitute. I’ve been here a couple times for massages and/​or facials. If you arrive early — which they suggest you do — you have an opportunity to sit in their (what I will call) tranquility area: chaise lounges, water features, citrus water to drink.
Your specialist will come find you when he/​she is ready for you. The estheticians & therapists are really nice & want to make sure you have everything you need. And as with any posh spa, they will tailor whatever treatment you may be indulging in to fit your needs/​wants.
It is on the pricier end & they automatically include tip (or at least I remember them doing that), so I’m not here that often. My ‘pampering’ budget is a little smaller these days., but I would never turn down a day at The Spa.

I really nice place to get pampered and your tootsies washed.
