Dr. Wilkinson's Backyard Resort & Mineral Springs

Mar 28th, 2024

My recent visit to Dr. Wilkinson's Spa left me utterly disappointed and vowing never to return. As someone who appreciates the serenity and professionalism of spa treatments, I can confidently say that this establishment falls far short of expectations. Firstly, the coed lockers were a major turn-off. Privacy is paramount in a spa setting. The treatment itself was nothing short of chaotic and unprofessional. Upon entering the treatment room, I was greeted by a technician who seemed more interested in hurrying me through the process than providing a genuinely relaxing experience. As for the treatments themselves, they were far from enjoyable. I am not sure how they estimate the treatment time for the "Mudslinger Package" as 60 minutes considering the mud bath is 15 mins, the mineral bath is 15 mins, and it includes a 3 minute sit in a steam room. The "facial mask" listed on the package is just given to you to apply while you sit in the mineral bath. The "blanket wrap" is a plain sheet draped over you for 5 minutes after the treatments. The noise level was also unacceptable, making it difficult to relax and unwind. Furthermore, the cleanliness of the facilities left much to be desired, raising serious doubts about the hygiene standards upheld by the spa. After enduring the rushed and lackluster treatments, I was dismayed to find that the changing room lacked even the most basic amenities one would expect from a spa. No hair dryer, no extra towels, no body sprays and no lotions. It was a stark reminder that I had been duped into a tourist trap masquerading as a legitimate spa. This place is simply not worth your time or money.

Overpriced motel, with so-so service

Really enjoyed our experience at the spa but were very disappointed with the room and value for staying in a cottage. It was super small. There is not a coffee maker as well. Although the staff was great and the location amazing, just be aware for the value you pay for a cottage you might be disappointed.

This was the perfect relaxation break! The rooms, food and drinks, spa and amazing mineral pools were just what the doctor ordered. The staff were amazing and so very nice and helpful. Love, love, love, Dr. Wilkinsons! Noteworthy details: The mud baths and mineral pools are so worth it!
