I had visited the Grand Spa some years ago and had a wonderful experience. This past November, I booked a massage and facial through the concierge prior to my trip. I was contacted so that I could provide my credit card number to book the services. I was told there was a 2 hour cancellation policy. When I arrived, I received a written confirmation of the second scheduled service, the facial. but not the massage. In the early morning hours of the next day, I contacted the concierge about the fact that I had not received confirmation of the first service and received assurance that it was scheduled. So, I went to the spa and checked in and sat waiting for my massage. I was not called at the appointed hour and when I went to the desk to ask they told me the massage had been booked but not placed on the schedule. I didn't want to wait around for the facial and was quite irritated by how I was treated by the manager. She refused to refund my money for the facial. I went to the concierge and was told that it was a "glitch in the system" and she couldn't do anything to get the facial refunded. I explained that had the concierge TOLD me in the morning when I called that the massage was not on the schedule I would have cancelled the facial within the 2 hour limit. The concierge repeated told me that there was a glitch in the system and she was sorry. In no uncertain terms I told her that a glitch in their system is not my problem.
A few hours later, I received a call advising me that the full amount would be refunded and there would be no spa charge on my credit card. No charges came through in November. HOWEVER, when I got my December AMEX statement they had slipped the charge for the facial back onto my card. One month later. After telling me I wouldn't be charged. DO NOT PATRONIZE THE GRAND SPA AND IF YOU DO CHECK YOUR CREDIT CARD STATEMENT CAREFULLY.
