My sixth visit to the Golden Door was as magical as ever! The staff's attention to detail is evident in every way...classes, food, accommodation, grounds. This is a place that cares for guests at every level. The early morning hikes start my days with great happiness that carries through the entire week! I highly recommend this destination!

Golden Door is my home away from home... It's absolutely heaven, guided by the watchful eye of Rachel Caldwell, the G.M. It's absolutely 'Heaven on Earth' - If you need R & R, and a regimen to get you back on track - Golden Door is the place for you. They listen to what each guest wants and tailor makes... More

Maybe you can't go home again, but you can go back to place where you spent a week lolling in pampering. I hadn't been back to The Golden Door in several years but it was like old home week when I returned last April. Lots of friendly faces with happy smiles and warm, affectionate hugs from the staff. Food that... More

I highly recommend everyone making the time and effort to experience this Spa location. It is truly an amazing place for your mind body and soul. Must be the closest place to heaven on... More

By the end of the week you are feeling completely pampered... More

I really went back and forth about visiting the Golden Door because it is so expensive, but I felt like I desperately needed a week for rest, relaxation and renewal so I bit the bullet and went for it. There are so many things to comment on with the Golden Door. The facilities are definitely getting worn out. It almost... More

Passing through the Golden Archways, was unique experience. The grounds are well tended and modest in that Zen way. Women walk around in spa issued kimono and "fans" that lay out their entire stay. Food, even though extremely low calorie, was fantastic. The chef's, using fine herbs and fresh produce and fish, can transform half an egg and thin slice... More
