Want to know how to hang out at a local resort spa on the cheap? Read on!
Let’s face it. It’s wildly hot. And you need an escape. Not necessarily a spa treatment – just a cool place to plop up for your feet for a couple hours with a juicy paperback. We’ve got good news. You can still sneak off to an amenity rich resort spa without having to pay for a service. Behold, the spa day pass. For a minimal fee, these spas allow you to use the spa amenities, soak in the hot tub and maybe join in a fitness class — without having to blow your budget on a treatment. And the best part? The AC is complimentary!
