"I was incredibly impressed with my recent stay. If you are looking for rest and relaxation, this is the ultimate getaway. While I love children, the adult-only environment created a truly tranquil atmosphere. The restaurant serves authentic New Mexican cuisine with a unique twist, and the hot springs were among the cleanest I have ever visited. The staff member was a pleasure to interact with; they truly went above and beyond the norm. I will definitely be back."

"While in the area I decided to spend an afternoon at the hot springs. The staff were uniformly friendly and I mean genuinely friendly! The hot tub areas were very peaceful and relaxing with the expectation of having quiet in those spaces. They have some very funky wonderful Airstream like trailers that you could rent out in their Campground as well as lodging on site with a few trails. All in all just a delightful space well-appointed and calm. If..."

"This is an excellent place to relax and enjoy the hot natural springs. Relaxation and quiet is a theme here. "Honor the tranquility" is posted throughout the area. There are plenty of places to top off your water bottle. The different pools offer different things for your soaking needs. I particularly liked the Arsenic, Iron, and Lithia pools. The restaurant/bar offered delicious food with locally gown ingredients, from their own farm. The fireplace within the rooms we stayed in was..."

"Amazingly relaxing. We went during some construction and it was still a wonderful experience. Plenty of different pools and spas. The rooms were an experience of their own, super cozy and comfortable. The massages were also a great reset for tense muscles! The restaurant was an ambient and delicious high end experience, would recommend try as much as you can for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Definitely would recommend for special occasions!!!"

"We had an incredible experience at Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa. My partner and I came here to relax and recharge, and it exceeded our expectations. The mineral pools are wonderfully diverse, which makes it easy to spend an entire day soaking without ever getting bored. Each pool has its own temperature and mineral composition, so moving between them becomes part of the experience. It really feels like a slow, restorative journey for your body. One of the..."

"I almost don't want to review because I want to keep Ojo to myself! But I can't help it. I rave about Ojo to anyone who will listen. It's the most beautiful location and there is so much history here. The staff is ALWAYS kind and helpful and respectful and I always look forward to coming here. I am always so sad when I have to leave. The hot springs and spa services are some of the best in the..."

"Highly recommend treating yourself to an overnight here as opposed to a day pass. The pools are great in the evenings after crowds thin and especially morning before the day use crowds start to arrive. Plan to enjoy a couple meals at the restaurant (remember to make a reservation for dinner). Food is a little pricey, but the menu and service have always been spot on for me. I am gluten-free, and everything is clearly labeled for special diets. The..."

"What a gem of a place! From the super friendly and helpful staff to the gorgeous, tranquil settings, we had a lovely time. The pools were amazing and the vibe was great. We were road tripping through New Mexico to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday, and a friend told us to stay here. We should have booked two nights! I forgot that I had mentioned in the reservation that this was a birthday celebration, and to our surprise the staff..."
