When is check-in and out? 
Check-in for overnight reservations is 4:00 pm and check-out is 12:00 pm. For day spa, check-in is 8:30 am and check-out is 6:00 pm. You are always welcome to come an hour or two in advance of your stay. We will provide locker facilities for you if you do.

Overnight guests: Your room will be ready for you to check in to by 4:00 pm on the day of arrival (you may arrive as early as 2:00 pm for use of the facilities).

Check-out time on your day of departure is 12 noon or earlier and 2:00 pm from the facilities. If you would like to arrive earlier or stay later, please ask about our extension packages. We suggest arriving 1/2 hour before your first scheduled activity or spa appointment.

Can I get an early check-in or a late check-out?
Unfortunately, due to the limited number of rooms available at each property, we are unable to guarantee early check in or late checkouts. Your reservation agent can note this on your file and if possible, we will do our very best to accommodate.

What is the difference between the Main Inn and a Spa Cottage?
The Main Inn at Ste. Anne’s Spa is where your dining, spa and wellness and facilities are during your stay. We have rooms at the Main Inn and we also have Spa Cottages. Our Spa Cottages range in proximity to the Inn anywhere from 500 meters to 1.5 km away. Some guests prefer to stay at the cottages as they are often more spacious, are great for groups, typically have outdoor hot tubs and can also be more private.

Is there a coffee maker in my room? 
There are coffee makers and kettles in all of our Spa Cottages, but no other rooms at Ste. Anne’s Spa have them. You are most welcome to ask at guest services for one however.

Is there a fridge in my room?
All rooms at Ste. Anne’s feature either a small bar fridge or in some group cottages, a regular size fridge.

Can we get a cot?
Unfortunately we do not have any cots to add to your room.

Can I ask for a particular therapist or gender?
Ste. Anne’s Spa employs both male and female professionally trained therapists. We are committed to the principle of Employment Equity, which means we will provide equal treatment in employment and will not discriminate on the basis of race, colour, religion, or creed, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, physical handicap, age, ethnic origin, or political belief. As such, our team will never ask you for any preferences in the selection of your therapist. Should you have a specific reason for making a request though, you are welcome to ask your reservation agent and they will do their best to accommodate.

Do I need to book my spa service ahead of time?
Yes, and as far in advance as possible. Our spa services can book up more than two months in advance, so it is best if you can make your selections even at the time of booking. This is especially important if you are looking for RMT massages, longer services or are with a group that would prefer to coordinate the timing of their services and meals.
