What People Are Saying About Olympus Spa
Featured Review

The Scene – The distinct air of an urban health club pervades this spa, which is made up of communal space. While friends enjoy sharing the facilities, the steamy, water-based area feels like a slightly upscale locker room--lots of nudity, lots of scrubbing, scents of chlorine mixed with mugwort. The dry heat rooms are more mellow, often silent, and offer truly cozy relaxation amid the infrared heat and warm herbal scents. – – The Services – Totally natural materials are used for facials and body moisturizers--fresh cucumber, honey, olive oil and aloe vera. All…

A+ all-around!
by auntie em
What a seriously awesome diamond in the rough. I was rough upon entering but after two heavenly days of taking advantage of the soaks, scrub, steam, mugwort, heat and energy, topped off by a totally therapeutic body massage by Stephanie, I departed reborn in new skin and a much improved psyche. Wow! Wow! Wow wee! Gotta get back there, 7 hours away...

Great spa except bad employee
by bslaps
Olympus Spa is a great spa with great services. However, beware of the Massage Therapist Stephany (or Staphanie). She is rude and racist. I will never let her lay a finger on me ever again as long as I live and go to the Olympus Spa in Tacoma. I love this spa but the rude tone of voice of that particular one employee could turn your heavenly spa day to a hell spa day.

Relaxing, Lovely..
by inflatedheart
This spa is great. I LOVE their exfoliation scrubs and the pools. You will notice that everything was constructed to make customers feel comfortable and calm. It is such a positive and relaxing space for women. The nudity can make you feel a little apprehensive at first, but you'll soon see that all of the women there don't care and aren't paying any attention to you. Women of all shapes and sizes use their services.
The staff are really committed to your comfort, so don't be afraid to speak up if you need less pressure during a massage or have sensitive skin. One thing that new patrons tend to overlook is the mugwort pool. The food served at their little restaurant is delicious. Don't be afraid to try it!
- Pros: Clean/comfortable facilities, Relaxing, non-judgemental

wonderful place
by tac98405
I just got back from my first trip to Olympus, and I feel great. I was a bit apprehensive about being nude in front of everyone, but quickly got over it. The five different temperatures in the tubs and whirlpools allowed me to find just the right comfort zone and the three heated energy rooms were all very cozy and relaxing. I had a massage with Reid, and she not only gave me a wonderfully relaxing massage, she showed me some ways to stretch my tight muscle groups at home and gave me tips on how I could reduce my muscle tension. My only regret is that I didn't book a longer massage and more services. Now that I know you get your money's worth, I will be sure to return for a spa package sometime.
- Pros: great value, good services
- Cons: a little tricky to find

This spa was a great experience for me. I love that it has my own oasis feel to it. I can roam around on my own time ( No time ). I got a massage from Janice and she was amazing. Made the total get away experience perfect. there food was delicious and the Korean scrub felt awesome I left feeling like a brand new woman. Thank you Gina and Janice and Olympus Spa employees for keeping this womens paradise practically perfect.
