My wife surprised me with a stay at Sea Mountain. She packed the car and told me to get in and drive, all I had to do was follow her directions. As we were buzzed in the door, we were met by a staff member who gave us a tour and showed us to our room. Let me say this is not a place for the prudish, you are expected to be nude and shall we says folks are not shy about displays of affection! With that being said it was one of the most relaxing stays we’ve ever had anywhere. The pool and jacuzzi were totally enjoyable, the outside temperature was a tad warm 102 so the pool was the place to be. Throughly enjoyed seeing my wife enjoy the pool so much and the lounge chairs were a comfortable way to relax. The drinks, snacks, and food provided by Sea Mountain were great and the ability to order dinner and have it delivered was a good way to go because who wants to leave once you get there. The all female staff were extremely helpful and easy to deal with. It was a quiet time of week to be there, only 5 or 6 other couples which was fine and there are only 15 rooms which is also fine with us. Bottom line, would we do it again? Damn right we would! My wife enjoyed it so much she told me we’d be going back every 3 or 4 months and I can’t wait! Thanks for a great time Sea Mountain, see you soon.

What an amazing day I had at Living Waters Spa! It’s clean, extremely relaxing and the owners Jeff and Judy made me feel welcome and comfortable. I got the Sunday massage special with Kat, and received one of the most therapeutic and enjoyable massages of my life. It was incredible and affordable. The two mineral water springs are the perfect temperatures and appear very well maintained. I was able to soak up the sun in my birthday suit, and step in the healing powers of the springs or sauna at my leisure all day. I’ve never done anything like this (with the exception of a European vacation 25 yrs ago) so I was a bit hesitant about entering the venue. However, it is extremely private, and Sami (staff member) met me at the door, showed me the facility and gave me the rundown on clothing optional etiquette, so I knew exactly where to go and what to do. After a day of relaxation, Jeff and Judy invited all the spa/hotel guests (also first-time clothing optional folks) to partake in housemade cocktails and/or hibiscus tea in the hot tub-like hot spring. The day was relaxing, loaded with natural vitamin D, and liberating. I highly recommend Living Waters Spa, if you’re looking to add some extra awesome to your spa day or vacation.

The Miracle Hill area of Desert Hot Springs (aka the Spa Zone) features quite a few resorts and spas with mineral water pools. I've been to three of them. The Spring is by far the best by every metric, a class of its own, an utterly soothing and refreshing experience that is worth every penny. I've visited the Spring several times over the years both for day use of the spa and as a guest at the hotel. Impeccable is the only word to describe my experience. WATER: The water of Desert Hot Springs is famous all over the world and for good reason. It is soft as silk, buoyant, soothing and calming. I'm no chemist but when I asked a staff person what makes the water so special, he gave me a list of the mineral content including sulfate, sodium, bicarbonate, chloride, calcium, silica, fluoride and magnesium. Whatever the formula, it's magical. So magical, in fact, that the water of Desert Hot Springs was recently named the Best Water in the World at the 30th Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting. POOLS: The pools are kept in absolutely perfect condition. And they are open 24/7 for hotel guests. Squeaky clean, the temperatures, chlorine level and cleanliness are monitored constantly. The swimming pool offers plenty of room for laps; there's also an outdoor jacuzzi and partially-enclosed relaxation pool. I love how they light candles near the relaxation pool at night time. SERVICE: Everyone at the Spring was helpful, courteous and thoughtful. An amazing balance of attention to detail with complete lack of stuffiness. HOTEL ROOMS: I stayed in the Mountain Suite which includes a kitchenette, patio, its own private entrance and parking spot, and stunning mountain views. Tons of thirsty towels, super clean, and beautifully decorated, I wanted to move in and was already planning what to say to the Sheriff when he came to evict me when I refused to leave. (Reality bites. I left of my own accord, much more relaxed.) Amenities include Spring robe and slippers, hair dryer, and toiletries. BREAKFAST: Included in your hotel stay, a breakfast of safely prepared foods are available daily from 8-10 am. I was served fruit, hard-boiled free-range eggs, yogurt, pumpernickle bread with cream cheese and jam, oatmeal and granola. Almond milk available, as well as coffee and tea. PANDEMIC SAFETY: Masks and social distancing were maintained, hand sanitizer was available and all safety protocols honored. Because The Spring is a small, boutique hotel, there is not a chance of running into big crowds. The clientele here tend to be the type that value solitude, so chances of running into overly chatty folks are slim to none. SPIRITUAL RENEWAL: Words cannot describe the effect of staying at the Spring. Was it watching the Moon and Mars rise in tandem from the jacuzzi? The mineral balance restored in my body? The effects of peace and quiet on my soul? All I know is that the stress of the past year had taken its toll and the Spring helped restore my peace of mind. Thank you.
