Spent a Thursday afternoon enjoying the hot springs and spa services at Azure Palm Hot Springs. The weather was mild and it wasn't too crowded. The building and grounds are clean and beautiful.
We were assigned lockers with slippers and comfy robes inside. As others have noted, the slippers were too small, but another guest told us we could exchange them at the front desk for a larger size. We just wore our own sandals.
The first thing we did was soak in one of the hot mineral water tubs. The water temperature was perfect. We shared the tub with a nice couple who were quite chatty. I wanted to soak in silence, but they were so friendly and charming I can't complain.
My sister and I then had Swedish massages. We both thought they were excellent. My massage therapist, Maria, was very professional and had a firm touch. She really worked on my feet and upper back, which I loved. My sister had a male massage therapist, Paul, and said he did a particularly good job on her feet and hands.
We went to the cafe and picked up a light lunch to eat outside in a shady area. I had an avocado chicken wrap that tasted fresh and delicious, yummy blue tortilla chips, apple juice, and a slice of banana bread. My sister had the Harvest Delight salad and a mesquite cookie. She enjoyed both.
After lunch she went for a swim in the large swimming pool while I went for another soak in a different mineral water tub. She said the pool was too cool and didn't swim for very long. I felt fortunate to have a tub all to myself, but the water was so hot I could only soak in it for about five minutes.
I then tried to relax on a lounge chair, but there was a group of women nearby who were very loud. When we checked in we were told to use a soft voice at all times and that they would ring a gong as a reminder to quiet down when the noise level got too loud, but they never rang it.
I spent the rest of the afternoon snoozing by the swimming pool, which was the quietest place I could find (it was still a little loud). My sister found a mineral tub that was a comfortable temperature to soak in, but she mentioned there was scalding water from a pipe hitting her feet.
We took showers in the locker room before leaving, and I was pleased to see they offered shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, as well as blow dryers.
While there were a few issues, all in all it was a good experience and definitely worth the money. The staff and guests were very friendly. I would love to go back if I ever visit Palm Springs again during a cool time of year.
