The Abbey Resort Review

Just steps from Geneva Lake, this full-service resort on 90 landscaped acres offers amenities for every type of traveler. Enter through the iconic 80-foot A-frame structure into an airy lobby with several sitting areas and a view into the indoor pool. From there, check into your equally inviting, recently updated rooms. But you won't stay long, because the 35,000-square-foot Avani spa beckons with treatments such as a seaweed bath that's said to boost weight-loss, a reflexology massage or the new Bacial that combines a skin-rejuvenating facial with an exfoliating body scrub. Don't feel like leaving your sunny spot at the outdoor pool? Opt for a poolside massage. Kids are fully entertained by the Abbey's activity staff who provide babysitting and organize everything from lawn games to bonfires to in-pool movies.
