    Today was my first time there I booked a one hour holistic massage as well as a 30 minute hot oil, hair, treatment, and head massage. Andrew was my masseuse and he was amazing!! I will definitely be back! The lounge area was really nice with some good snack snacks such as chocolate covered cherries, and a nut mixture and several different teas to choose from. The music was very nice in the background and the spa was excellent! I utilized the pool, the Jacuzzi, and the steam room and sauna. The front desk was amazing!! I got lost trying to find the parking lot because there is a Hyatt across the street as well, I called and she followed on the map and told me exactly where to turn and how to get into the parking lot and the $13 valet parking was great in the building!! the only suggestion I have is to maybe use terry cloth robes instead of the heavy Sherpa lined older robes. The slipper sandals were so nice!! Wish I had a pair! Loved it!!

    This was my first spa experience, and I didn't know what to expect walking in. I honestly didn't have high expectations, but after a long several days of work, I was in desperate need of a relaxing pedicure and Elaia Spa gave me exactly that! I made my appointment for my pedicure online and had made a mistake with booking - they were quick to reach out and correct my booking. I went on a Sunday afternoon, and after reading several reviews I was expecting the place to be much busier than what I had experienced. The reservation does tell you to arrive 30 min. before your service begins, but this wasn't completely necessary from my experience and may vary. I did arrive early, changed into my cozy robe and slippers and was given the option to go to the sauna, jacuzzi, or lounge area so I spent most of my 30 min. in the lounge, and your technician calls you in when it's time for your appointment. The lounge was cozy - one of the things I was concerned about was hygiene though. I presume that each of the lounge chairs was "new" and "unused" as indicated by the nicely folded blanket at the foot of the chair. But, I saw multiple people who just sat on same the lounge chairs and rested their foot on the blankets without unfolding them, giving the illusion to others coming in after that it was "clean" even after they left for their service. Onto my pedicure - my nail technician was Thanh and she was incredible! She was so sweet and we had such a nice conversation. Sometimes I find that pedicures aren't as relaxing - technicians can be too rough and/or cut you... but Thanh was gentle, yet effective and really made my pedicure an incredibly relaxing experience. I had an injury on one of my toes, which I had mentioned to her beforehand and she checked in to see if I was ok and if it wasn't painful. If I am back in the area and I need a little pampering, I would definitely return here!

    My last manicure left my nails the most unhealthy they've ever been (breakage, peeling and cracking). I have no idea how this can happen after just one manicure. Since we are visiting Seattle I used Yelp to help me find a nail salon. I'm so happy that I chose to go to the Elaia Spa! What a treat! From start to finish my visit was perfect. It's located right across the street from where we are staying. After changing into a robe, I rested for about a half hour in their lounge. My nail technician, Ivy, came to get me when it was time for my appointment. The nail salon is in a gorgeous, relaxing space. Everything is so clean. Ivy is 5 stars! My Essential Pedicure ($60) was one of the best I've ever had. 45 minutes of bliss. She is so gentle. I was very impressed by the Sparitual nail products used by the salon. No strong chemical smells just a lovely, subtle scent. The Sparitual lotion used for the massage felt fabulous as well. After my last manicure experience, where a very strong chemical smelling top coat was used, I'm definitely going to start being more particular about what products are used by the salon. Hopefully I can find something like the Elaia Spa near where I live. I love my new mani/pedi! A great value for the quality of the services and the high-end facility. I'm so sad that I don't live near it.

    I booked massage on 30th of December with Elaia spa. That comes with complementary use of pool and steam room. I came early to enjoy pool. My massage appointment was at 4-45 PM and I came 2-20 PM. The locker rooms were very clean but locker was very small and my winter jacket and backpack hardly fit. Also, not enough chairs to change. Many people have to take their clothes and have to step out to dress up standing. Pool was very crowded and there were 4 different couples with 2 kids each. It was nightmare because even jumping/diving is not allowed this kids made a disneyland there. I was only one adult by myself and felt like squeezing myself in the pool and kids would throw their toys around me and splashing so close to my face even I swam in my own lap. Their parents were sitting on the phone and didn't care. Didn't see any member staff making them a notice not to jump/dive. Then FIRE ALARM went on. I was swimming and everybody start leaving pool area. I got out of the pool went all the way to my locker and grab my stuff and went to corridor when spa person told me to go back and dress up. I end up dressing being fully wet, almost broke my nails and amount of stress I got. I came downstairs last. At this point I could simply leave home and not wait. But I decided to wait. In 15 min they let everybody in but nobody apologized or explained what happened. Then I had excellent massage with Sarah! I really enjoyed it as well as relaxation area. At the checkout I ask what happened and told that I was extremely overwhelmed dressing in rush, almost broke my nails. And then when they let us in back in spa area I was putting wet swimsuit again. Ewwww. Unpleasant. And said that I could leave home when I was in lobby but decided to wait. I was hoping for some sort of reimbursement or discount because when I had chance I could leave. But I decided to stay and be responsible for massage appointment I had. No appreciation. But I was very stressed by this incident. Check out person explained pipe bursted outside but I didn't see any regret of inconvenience and stress it caused me. I live in downtown so I was hoping to make this my monthly spa retreat but I just got disappointed how unprofessionally situation was handled. I end up asking at the check out.

    What a nice little oasis in the city. My daughter and I enjoyed our seaweed wrap and facials for several hours at the spa. Ahhh heaven!!!! What a nice relaxing time In between the wrap and facial we had a yummy lunch and some "bubbly". I will go back again for sure. They treated us like royalty.

    Too many kids, walked into the locker room and was greeted by a two year old, went to the jacuzzi and kids were everywhere, people constantly came in from the pool to use the locker room bathroom. There was a hole in the stale to the next, the only nice facility had a lot of women loudly talking , quiet room definitely not quiet. You weren't allowed back to this room until 5 minutes before your service so no time to unwind from the screaming children/outside world. Facilities are 0/10 The actual massage was 10/10 great experience, skilful, peaceful, comfortable. One of the best I've had. Won't be coming back after seeing the environment unfortunately but if you're literally just wanting a good massage this is the place

    It's expensive, but, with all the facilities available, I think it's worth it. A regular 60 minute massage is $125 (as of writing of this review), plus a 20% service charge. What's great about Elaia Spa is that you have access to a steam room, a sauna, a jacuzzi and a swimming pool on top of a relaxation room. So, you can enjoy them before and/or after your massage appointment. My girlfriend and I spent about 3 hours: stream room, lunch (in the relaxation room), massage, lounging in the relaxation room. Although one Yelp reviewer complained how messy the (women's) locker room was, the men's locker room was clean and the towels and other things were well stocked. Also, the staff members were all very attentive and courteous. The only reason why I do not give them five stars is that most of the facilities are shared with other hotel guests (the locker rooms, the jacuzzi, and the swimming pool). Also, I don't mind the swimming pool being coed but I do mind when the jacuzzi is coed. I wanted to use the jacuzzi but it was just too awkward for me to get in since two teenage girls were already in it. I'm a man in his early 40s! This is how everything is organized/located here: Spa area: massage and other treatment rooms and the relaxation room Locker rooms: showers, a bathroom, a steam room and a sauna Pool area: a swimming pool and a jacuzzi (coed and swim wear required) Parking (valet) is $8 for spa guests with validation. ****************************** If you found something useful in my review, please hit "useful" so that I can improve my reviews.

    Wow wow wow. I had the olive therapy service with Andrew and it was simply decadent. This is a two-hour service with a scrub, body mask, and hour massage therapy. Everything was perfect. The service includes a special product that smells so lovely. The faculty was impeccable; get there early to enjoy a sauna or steam before your service.

    Today's happy hour special was called "Moji-toes"! ($20 got me a mojito & a mini-pedi.)

I'm afraid that's not why I'm leaving a review. I'm leaving a review because I've never left a massage feeling less relaxed than when I arrived. It wasn't anything I could ask my provider to adjust, like pressure level, it was just very poorly executed, awkward, and uncomfortable. This was a $325 massage and I would hope the therapists are trained well enough to keep their nails from interfering with the therapy and send you home feeling better than when you arrived. This was my second time visiting and both occasions were similar. Different therapist each time. I'm also disappointed by the owner's responses on reviews here where accusations are made regarding the truthfulness of reported experiences. My sale ID from my receipt is 470227. Penelope is a mismatch for its location. I wish it weren't! What a great opportunity Penelope has here. I'm afraid they should let someone else with more experience operate the space and relocate to somewhere along Aurora where they don't need pesky things like certifications, training, credentials, and amenities. Edit: I received an email response where the business chose to double down on the same type of feedback they provide to others on Yelp. Very dismissive. When all you can do is point a customer to your website as if that resolves issues, I don't know how you continue to attract new customers. Dropped the rating from 2 stars down to 1 star for that reason. !!! 2ND UPDATE: Hoist by their own petard I suppose! They sent a multi-page email threatening me with "defamation, business disparagement, and tortious interference" if I did not take down my review. They scrutinized my booking history (debating whether this was my first or second visit, as my previous visit was booked under my partner's name) and even admitted to digging through my Yelp history to criticize my other reviews. Does this seem like a good response to negative feedback to you? There are other spas at hotels in downtown Seattle, I'll certainly be visiting one of those next time and I recommend you do the same if you don't want to be threatened with legal action if you don't enjoy your massage.

A prepaid gift should be fully honored when they sell it as a package on their website. Forcing a customer to pay extra for a prepaid package is a terrible business practice.

You have a facial appointment too? Then I'll let her do that during the facial." However, the girl who performed facial did not perform massage on my sculp. I'm not very pleased with the experience and would not go back or recommend to anyone.

Easily accessible, few blocks away from Bellevue Square and even walkable from the new 2 line link. Parking is available in their small garage but only for 3 hours (validated online with a code Yuan Spa provides). Otherwise there's street parking. Arriving early is a plus to use the washroom or relax in their lounge area with snacks (wasabi peas, banana chips, and honey pretzel sticks) and hot tea. Shoutout to Jessica and Emma for our massages. They were extremely comforting and the hour flew by insanely quick. Hydrotherapy is self guided between a hot pool, cool pool, steam room, and dry sauna. All are soothing but many gyms have these as well, so I'm torn whether it's worth it. However, definitely a nice supplement to other services here in the same location, which is a fair argument. One thing I hate is the check out process. After checking out, they'll ask if "you'd like to add a gratuity" which I always feel is just a darker practice in the social moment. A good massage deserves a tip for quality service, but hydrotherapy feels like an interesting gray area. However, it's easier to just give a percentage on the total amount. On the flip side, I love how they also provide up to 30 minutes buffer after hydrotherapy (maybe also other services, but we ended on hydro) to shower and leave. Passing that half hour mark would result in a charge rounded up to the next hour.
