In 2004 Mobil began rating the spas at hotels and resorts just as it does hotels and restaurants. The minimum criteria for a spa to be rated by Mobil includes personalized services, luxurious environment, treatments that offer comfort and privacy, and a menu of health, fitness and pampering activities, all being offered with helpful and respectful service. They come up with a mathematical score for the spa, and the highest scores are arranged into the top categories.
