Question #1 Where are you located?
 
Answer: On the shores of the Cataraqui River, a part of the Rideau Canal system, Dolce Bella Spa is located in the historic building, the old woolen mill.
 
Cataraqui is an Indian word meaning "water over rocks", an ideal theme for our spa. Although only about a half mile from downtown Kingston, Canada's first capital, it feels like you are miles away. Across the river you will find the Royal Military College (Canada's WestPoint) as well as Fort Henry, a National Historic site. You can also view Lake Ontario and the Thousand Islands from our windows. During summer months you can often see the Rowing Club members practicing along the river, and sail boats drifting into the bay.
 
An abundance of free parking ensures that you will start de-stressing from the moment you arrive.


Question #2 Do you accommodate wedding parties?
 
Answer: Weddings parties routinely are papered at Dolce Bella Spa. Due to the complexity of scheduling groups, please leave adequate time to confirm your date.
It's always good to review the services on line, to have a idea of what you wish to indulge yourself in.
 
The size of the group we can accommodate is dependent on the number of services each person wishes to receive, and how advanced you schedule your day.
 
Customary services for weddings are manicures, pedicures, waxing and the perfect hair style. It is strongly suggested, that you book at least one trial appointment, well in advance of your wedding day. Trials are to insure things are to your wishes and that you have no worries on your special day.
 
So if you could imagine a place, where time stands still, if you could experience luxuriously refreshing ambiance, and the perfect view, would you deny yourself the indulgence?


Question #3 How do I book a spa package or service?
 
Answer: Simply phone us, and one of our Guest Managers will help you to decide which services are perfect for you. Our Guest Managers will then work out a schedule to begin your pampering.


Question #4 What do your spa packages consist of?
 
Answer: Our spa packages can be customized for each guest... Typically, $40 is applied to your gourmet lunch and hair service, the balance is applied to the services you desire to have. Our Guest Managers have been trained to assist you in keeping your choices within the cost of your spa budget, or gift certificate. If you so desire, additional services can be added to enhance your day.


Question #5 Is there any deposit required to book a package?
 
Answer: We only appeal for a deposit for large groups at this time.
 
However we do require the courtesy of a 72 hour cancellation notice on all spa packages and group bookings, and 24 hours notice on all spa services. Any missed appointments, or appointments cancelled less than 24 hours in advance, will be charged 50% of the treatment or package cost.


Question #6 How far in advance do I have to book?
 
Answer: Some days are more popular than others, in some cases we require 4-6 weeks advance booking, but at times you're able to schedule with in the week.
It is best to book your spa experience as soon as your plans for pampering have been made. We do have cancellations from time to time, and we maintain a computerized "wait list". You are welcome to place your name on our wait list at any time if you are unable to make an appointment.

Question #8 What forms of payment do you accept?
 
Answer: US currency accepted at prevailing exchange rate.
 
We also accept: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Direct payment and of course cash
