4.0 out of 5 stars Very Informative, December 1, 2002
This review is from: 100 Best Spas of the World (Paperback)
This book has some great information on what appears to be some fabulous spas and resorts. It was nice to see not only great photos but real practical information like the types of packages offered, the prices, accommodations available, and even information on tourist attractions near the spas. It also gives you some explanations of the types of services offered which was helpful. It covers spas from all over the globe which makes it quite a nice comprehensive overview as well. I haven't actually tried one of them out yet - but it has been nice to dream.

1.0 out of 5 stars Stick to Internet Search, September 6, 2006
By 
This review is from: 100 Best Spas of the World (Paperback)
I was hoping to find out of the obvious spas identified, not The Four Seasons and the Ritz. A simple search of high end spas would have done this, I was hoping for hard to find and interesting rather than what would have been easily found on yahoo. I am terribly disappointed this was a total waste of time. The pricing is unclear as to what includes the hotel and what is for spa services only, so it's not even useful information. I still have to go research each one to simply compare pricing structure and services offered.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Changed My Whole Approach to Spas -- and Life, January 23, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: 100 Best Spas of the World (Paperback)
This book totally changed my approach to spas -- and life. It describes thoroughly yet readably the whole healthy spa philosophy and profiles the best of them, from India to Cyprus. The reviews are honest and reveal that the authors know their material and were not paid off as is so evident with so many other so-called guidebooks. Also great are insider tidbits such as one on the "Dietique Cocktails" at the Domaine du Royal Club Evian and another on the "spiritual side" of the Finnish sauna. All the details of the spas are featured as well, with photos, so who needs a travel agent or glossy celeb mag to tell one where to go anymore? I'd prefer to learn from the source: this book has helped me deflate the stress of existence. Vive la spa!
