Was it worth it? YES!
My awesome BF treated me to some much needed relaxation and pampering at this amazing spa. I was a bit skeptical at first seeing as how the price itself was way too steep. Keep in mind this is a Disney spa, so of course it’s overpriced, like everything else. My wonderful nail technician was Maria from Medellin, Colombia. She was just a delight! Gave the best massages and treated me like a princess. Overall the pedicure and manicure lasted 2 hours.
When you leave you are given a complimentary nail polish per session, so seeing as I got a manicure and pedicure, I was given 2 nail polishes along with a nail file and buffing block. Amazing experience. I loved every minute. Thank you Maria :)

Visited the spa for some post-​race relaxation. A bit snug, especially when crowded. Honestly, compared to the rest of the resort, this was the most underwhelming activity. I think I could have been ok w/​the spa facilities being so-​so… but my massage? That’s a no-​no. 3 stars all day.

I’ve visited this spa over the years and have always had excellent experiences. Today I had a pedicure with Dina and my little girl had a pedicure with Necy — you should recommend them, oh my word, were they fantastic! We were welcomed, taken care of, and they did a beautiful job. We will book another spa experience next vacation for sure!

I love a good spa, and this one will see me going back as soon as possible. My Swedish massage treatment, by Harry, was very relaxing and just what I needed! I highly recommend this therapist.
Then I spent 4 glorious hours to myself reading and unwinding in the women’s lounge, whirlpool, and steam room. There was even snacks – fresh fruit and carrot zucchini muffins – to keep me from getting hungry enough to leave. The cucumber-​infused spa water and hot tea kept me refreshed as I kicked back. During my visit to the steam room and whirlpool, just off the women’s lounge, I indulged in chilled cucumber slices for my eyes and a cool towel. The set up and layout is private and I never felt uncomfortable about wearing nothing but a robe, my under-​roos, and spa shoes.
If you’re looking for a few hours away, book a spa treatment, take a book and a bathing suit, then enjoy time to yourself at Senses, a Disney spa.

I’ve been to a lot of spas, but I’ve never been able to find another one like Senses. We just went to the spa October 2013 for the first time, and it was amazing. The services were great, but the facilities are really where this spa outshines everyone else. There are separate men’s and women’s lounges that are outfitted with posh lounge chairs for relaxation and quiet meditation. In the same room, they feature a bar of treats– from tea and different infused waters to snacks, including the most amazing carrot-​zucchini cupcakes. They are bite-​sized and instead of frosting they have a light coarse sugar coating (green tea flavored, I think) which keeps them light. I am pretty sure I ate 12 of them, but I didn’t count. Their changing area is clean and bright. You get a locker that has a digital lock that you assign your own PIN to so only you can access your items. There are shower facilities, and all the amenities you can think of to refresh yourself from your selected treatments (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, razors, hair ties, combs, brushes, hair spray, blow dryers, deodorant, and more!). The robes are plush and the spa sandals you wear are so comfortable. Attached to each lounge is an additional spa facility that you’re free to use for as long as you would like (we stayed for 1−½ hrs after our services just to enjoy the environment and relax– I saw a few women napping). The additional facility has heated tiled chairs that curve to the shape of your body for complete relaxation. The far wall is entirely a waterfall that pools into a jacuzzi-​like pool (about 8’x15’). There is also a steam room, and a glass bowl full of ice, ice water and cooling cucumbers for your eyes. Everything was simple and elegant– and included everything I could possibly think you could want! The men’s side was exactly the same as the women’s side (confirmed by my husband). The services are pricier than local-​to-​me spas, but the experience Senses offers is off the charts! I tried to find an equivalent spa in the Chicago area, and found Kohler Water Spa (it’s supposed to be one of, if not the, top spa in Chicago) but it was disappointing after going to Senses. They had similar features, but none of them done as well as Senses. For example, they had the snacks/​beverage bar, but they only offered trail mix (and it was spicy). There were separate changing areas & showers (but did not have as many amenities) and the lounge area was for both men and women and consisted of metal lounge chairs. It felt so cheap in comparison, and cost an extra $ 100 per person above what Senses charged! I’m looking forward to returning to Disney so I can schedule not one, but TWO days of relaxation at Senses. It’s worth every penny!

I love everything about the Grand Floridian. When my wife and I came here for a spa treatment, I was excited because I was expecting the massage to be top notch.
From the time you walk in until your shown your quite spa room, everything is standard spa fare. When my massage was over, my wife comes out and we both said the same thing, how was it?
It was like I got pinched, it wasn’t relaxing at all. She said the same thing?! Maybe its a new technique they’re rolling out to the guests, whatever it is it’s not working.
Expensive and I wasn’t happy at all with this service

Senses at the Grand Floridian might just be one of the most relaxing «journeys» I have ever taken. From check-​in with the refreshing juice cocktails, to the comfortable lounge area, a Citrus facial that made my skin so soft and so smooth (I almost fell asleep!) to the warm recliners… what a terrific experience. Thank you Jasmine for making my day!

The old spa/​health club was renovated as «Senses». I visited to check out the health club. I was surprised to find only a bunch of cardio and weight machines jam-​packed into a small room, with no changing room, no lockers, and no showers. You used to get use of a sauna and a whirlpool with the health club, but now you have to pay a «lounge fee» at the spa next door, and the whirlpool was down for maintenance for the next week. Surprisingly bad health club for what is supposed to be an upscale resort.

Love it!!! So beautiful, especially during the Christmas season

This was a great place to stay down at Disney World. I’d definitely stay here again. It’s pretty pricey but you get what you pay for. The customer service and accommodations were outstanding! They take care of you from the moment you walk towards their front door. Someone with a clip board intercepted us as we got off of our bus and immediately set us up with a desk person to get us checked in, which is also a very painless experience.
The rooms are quite nice and very clean. We had a view of the lagoon so we would have been able to watch the cute electric boat parade every night if we had not fallen asleep by that point. The one draw back to that location is that at 6:50am the Magic Kingdom does some sort of amplified announcement wishing everyone a good morning and welcome to the park. That’s nice but it is very loud and you’re not sleeping through it so you get up at 6:50am.
Quick serve breakfasts were decent at both locations they have: inside of their main building and out by the pool. We did not eat at Victoria and Alberts since I didn’t want to put a lien on my house to pay for it but I hear it’s a really nice experience. Nor did we eat at the sit-​down breakfast place they have downstairs in their main building as it costs a table service instead of a quick meal if you are on the meal plan.
They make up your room everyday in the morning, just like any other hotel, but they also have a turn-​down service in the evening so the room is already for you to crawl into and pass out after a long day of walking. Be sure to leave a tip for the housekeepers and they’ll make you some sort of sculpture from towels for your enjoyment.
Their spa was down for renovations while we were there so no foot rubs, which would have been really nice. Overall, this is an excellent hotel.

Very nice accommodations. They upgraded our room. We had a large sitting area instead of a balcony. Just fine with us. Didn’t spend much time in our room, but nice for the kids to play in the evening. Everything was clean. Nice turn down service. The spa was closed (for renovation?), so we didn’t use it, but I doubt we would have. Stayed 8 nights. No way we would have paid the regular rates, but the conference rate of $ 230 a night was reasonable. Great location (one monorail stop from the Magic Kingdom). Coming back from the Magic Kingdom by boat is fun (if the boat is right there, otherwise a long wait). Next time, I think I would spend a day at the resort instead of going to the parks every day. You can rent little boats for a reasonable fee. Friendly staff. If you can get a special rate, it’s a great place to stay. Restaurants are too overpriced to have a meal ($ 20 hamburgers at the sit down restaurant and Victoria and Albert’s, of course). If you want a hotel with a more reasonable restaurant and better quick service, the Wilderness Lodge is better.

This hotel is in such a need of a makeover. From the outside it is hard to tell that the rooms are so dated. I know you are suppose to have the feeling of old world interiors but when I walked into our room I was ready to check out of the hotel. I went to the front desk and they asked me what I was looking for and I said a «renovated room». I was serious. I wound up staying in the room and not moving because they wanted $ 600 more a night for a room on the concierge floor. I had a problem with that since the rooms would still look like the one I was in and the only difference would be the food. Sorry I don’t think I can eat that much food. The elevators were dirty looking and during our stay there I was actually stuck in the hot elevator for a few minutes. The doors wouldn’t open and the elevator wasn’t moving. I was not too happy when I got out of there and when I got to the room I called the front desk to tell them about this. They were so nonchalant about it and said they would send maintenance. I am now wondering when they do their maintenance and if they do any maintenance at all. The lobby in the building we were staying in didn’t even have air conditioning. This is middle of summer and it is 90 degrees outside. You would think they would turn on the a/​c.
It has been about 10 years or more since I have been there and nothing has changed and it will be another 10 or more till I ever go back. I am wondering if and when Disney will ever spend some money on renovating this hotel.
The pool area was nice but there was no attendants. Kind of strange for a hotel no to have any one servicing you at a pool.

When I heard the Grand Floridian Spa was closing, I thought Oh no! But never fear, it’s closing, yes, but just for 18 months. Not sure what the outcome will be when it reopens but rest assured it will be reopening.
My friend and I got a couple different treatments here on one of our Disney trips. I did the 50 minute long massage which was so relaxing. It really helped my muscles after tons of walking at Disney. It’s great to position a massage like that smack in the middle of your trip to rejuvenate. We were doing a long 2 week trip on that particular Disney trip and we did the massages on Day 8. It was super helpful! I also got a way overpriced manicure done here. I wouldn’t do that again as it was no better or more amazing then the $ 12 manicure I get back home… just triple the price! Eek! The massage was pretty expensive, too, about $ 100 but still felt great.
We both had some great treatments and they didn’t push their products TOO hard afterwards!

My boyfriend booked me a 50 minute massage and a 50 minute facial here as a surprise while we were in Disney. It was one of the best gifts I’ve ever received. The service (with the exception of the check out girl) was wonderful. They provide you with a robe and slippers when you arrive. They have water and fruit in the women’s waiting room. I was also given a nice water bottle to keep after my services. I also appreciated that they let you use any of their facilities while you’re there — sauna, steam room, etc.
The massage and facial were both wonderful!!! I felt incredibly pampered and relaxed!

Just what I needed … I had been working very hard this year (implementation project — on the built team) and then we decided to get married … so there might have been some stress (just a little) in my neck and shoulders. So as we were unpacking in our room, I mentioned a massage would be nice, thinking the husband would be giving it to me. No, he was a sweetheart and called to see if a professional was available. There was an opening in 15 minutes. Awesome. It was just what I needed, to start of the trip now that the ceremony was behind us.
First, I was taken to the women’s room where I was given a robe and a locker to put my clothes in. Then I sat in the room right before the locker area … it was dimly lit, soothing music and water/​tea and fruit for your enjoyment. The massage therapist came and got me and processed to almost put me to sleep. :) It was great.
