In 2004 Mobil began rating the spas at hotels and resorts just as it does hotels and restaurants. In 2005 there were 68 properties in the U.S. that achieved 3 stars or better in the Mobil ranking system.
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. Every spa that Mobil visits is scored against 450 criteria. They come up with a mathematical score for the spa, and the highest scores are arranged into the top categories.
