Having been to several resort spas and smaller spas I think Ummelina does a great job of offering a relaxing, calming environment. They are a REAL spa, not some salon, shoved in a mini-mall trying to create treatment rooms our of old office spaces like some places I've been. They give you a spa visit from start to finish. The calming music, tea, robes, foot soaks, neutral colors all allow you to leave stress at the door and get ready to enjoy your treatment. I've had massages, scrubs, steams and sauna and ALL were very good. The only thing that wasn't up to the same standard was their pedicure (in my opinion). It was done in a semi private area so people were walking through and someone else was having one done right next to me. It was done in an oversized recliner chair (similar to a lazyboy) and they had to bring everything in there with them. It just wasn't very relaxing and for the price I won't do another pedicure there. Gene Juarez (downtown and Bellevue) beats them in the spa pedicure area hands down!!!
