Excellent, Excellent spa. There is nothing negative that I can say about the spa. It is excellent and I would recommend this spa to anyone. The minute you enter the spa you feel a sense of relaxation. It's a must see spa.

Grown-up comfort and pampering adds sweetness to a Willy Wonka town.. The Space
The Grand Hotel Hershey opened in the 1930s, back when folks got dressed up to go on vacation. The hotel's country-elegant spa, however, opened decades later, in a time when adult strangers, men and women, no longer had qualms about sitting around a glassed-in aromatherapy room or by the fire in a library lounge, sipping hot chocolate, eating Hershey's kisses - wearing nothing but white cotton robes and rubber slippers.

The Services
Services here sound frivolous--there's the chocolate bean polish, strawberry parfait scrub, whipped cocoa bath, chocolate fondue body wrap, and packages with names like Peppermint Pattie and Hershey Hug--but the agreeable spa therapists take their jobs very seriously, attending to guests' modesty with careful draping--this is central PA, after all--and, in the case of the popular cocoa massage (with cocoa-infused oil instead of plain massage oil) never letting a moment go by without a soothing touch. When it's over, you end up thoroughly spaced-out, and smelling like a semisweet chip.
