There seems to be a growing trend among the resort spas to offer shorter less expensive services.  For example, half-hour facials, 25-minute massages or even menus of 25-minute treatments.  A few resort spas including these shorter experiences include The Hashani Spa at JW Marriott Starr Pass in Tucson, The Anara Spa at the Grand Hyatt Kauai and even Sanibel Harbour Marriott Resort & Spa.

What do you think?  Shorter and less expensive worth the time and money?
