My first visit to Glen Ivy was August 16, 2025. This is truly a hidden gem. The staff, surroundings, and waterfalls, is so relaxing. And because of this, everyone including the customers are so pleasant and courteous to each other. So refreshing. We had rented a cabana, and a big shout out to our servers, Jorge and Kev. Very attentive and helpful. The food delicious! Want a wonderful experience. Thank you.

This was my first time, and it was amazing! The mud bath area was great! Lunch at the Ivy restaurant was excellent! The women's locker room was so nice, I could've spent the whole day in there! The sauna and steam room were also fantastic. I love the water they have all around the property. It was a perfect day.

Went with my friend for my birthday. It was definitely busy but on a Wednesday we didn't have to wait for much besides lunch. Overall great experience. Loved my facial with Debra. Definitely a treat but looking forward to coming back. Hot and cold plunge pools were an unexpected highlight!

I was treated to Glen Ivy for my birthday by my partner, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, I was smiling ear to ear. We were welcomed by the peaceful labyrinth and started our day with deeply relaxing facials that left me absolutely glowing. What truly impressed me was the wide range of wellness offerings. Glen Ivy has something for everyone—massages, group fitness classes, and several spa pools spread throughout the property, each with its own vibe and healing benefits. Whether you’re soaking in the mineral-rich waters, detoxing at the Mud Club, or simply lounging under the palm trees, you feel wrapped in peace and rejuvenation. We grabbed drinks and enjoyed the main spa pool, then explored the mineral spa and the signature red clay Mud Club—it was such a fun and unique experience. The property also features plenty of comfortable lounge areas where you can truly unwind. We did stop for a bite to eat, and while the menu had a nice variety, my only critique is that my partner’s steak came out cold. After already waiting a while, having to wait again was frustrating—especially after spending the whole day in the sun and needing proper nourishment. That said, everything else about Glen Ivy made the day incredibly special. From the treatments to the atmosphere and amenities, it’s a one-of-a-kind wellness destination. I’d absolutely love to come back again!

This is a day spa. We came for massage, mineral pools and mud baths. Shout out to the masseuses, they do a fantastic job. This was our first time here, and it was a complete delight. There are plenty of cold drinking water stations all over the property. On a hot day. You're going to be using them. This is not a hotel, there is no overnight stay. My wife described it best I think, "this is an amusement park for adults".

Visited this resort last Thursday to celebrate a double birthday. We were a party of six, so we made sure to book in advance. I called four days ahead to reserve a massage but was told they were completely booked for the day. Thankfully, we were still able to secure the grotto experience. I used to come here every year, but the place has gotten so popular that there are people everywhere you turn. Luckily, the resort is spacious enough that you can still find your own little corner to relax. Personally, I’m always on the lookout for a good shaded spot, I try to avoid baking in the sun whenever possible. We arrived around 11 AM and it was already packed. I grabbed a cocktail from the bar just a heads-up, their drinks are wine-based since they still don’t have a hard liquor license. Probably for the best… no one wants tipsy swimmers flopping around in the pool. Pro tip for the ladies: if you need extra time to get ready after your spa time, don’t wait until the last minute. The line for the showers can get long, especially before they close at 5 PM. After that, the night crowd starts rolling in, and you definitely don’t want to be caught in the transition. A little time management will save you the stress. Also, if you want to avoid doing laps around the parking lot, plan to arrive early doors open at 9:30 AM. The later it gets, the tougher it is to find a spot. Even with the crowd, we still had a great time. Just be warned it was busy on a Thursday, so I can only imagine how packed it gets on the weekend. I’d personally skip it on Saturdays and Sundays if you’re looking for a more relaxing vibe.

Relaxing, yet fun atmosphere. People are friendly and enjoying themselves. Some of the pools can get a little crowded on weekends. The food is smaller portions but delicious.

Glen Ivy is my favorite health spa. I attempt to visit at least twice a year. It truly is heaven on earth. This time our trip was not as pleasant as usual. The number of floaters in the main pool had decreased tremendously. We had to wait near an hour to be able to get a couple of floaters to just float and relax. That took some of our relaxed time away and stressed us. It also cut out time from other activities that we had planned carefully for our day. The floating is one of my favorite activities and I was disappointed to have to wait so long for it. They normally have more than 4 times of the number of floaters they had this time. Not sure why they had decreased them to cause a delay. Other services were great as usual. Amirah

Hubby and I have come here about 3 times since last year and can't say anything bad about this entire experience. From beginning to end, customer service is top notch. Food and drinks are great. Everything is clean and gorgeously landscaped. We love doing Club Mud then going to our Grotto appointment. While hubby gets a massage, I use that time to hang out in the bathhouse and sauna in the women's locker room. At the end of our day, we shower up and change clothes in the locker rooms and finish the night at Reunion Kitchen in Dos Lagos. Make your trip here even better and book a night at Staybridge Hotel nearby. Makes coming in from LA so much easier. 13/10 experience. Highly recommend

My husband and I came here for our babymoon and booked a package with a massage and the grotto experience. The massage was fantastic and the grotto was a unique, fun touch. We also spent some time at the mud club, which added variety to the day. Being in my second trimester, I appreciated that I could enjoy most of the amenities, including the hot and cold tubs, though I had to limit my time in the hot tubs. That said, for the price point, the overall experience fell flat. I was expecting something a bit more upscale and polished. Instead, the property felt a little neglected. There were plastic cups and trash scattered around, and on a weekday with very few guests, I was surprised that nobody was walking the grounds tidying up. I can only imagine what it looks like on a busy weekend. The food and drinks were average at best. Aside from the massage and the grotto, the day was just okay, which is disappointing considering the cost. I've since heard of other hot springs in the area that might offer a better experience, and I'd suggest looking into those before choosing Glen Ivy.

This was overall an extremely disappointing experience. We went on a Saturday for the evening admission and the place was extremely overcrowded. It felt less like a spa and more like a water park. It is extremely loud and packed with people who are clearly drunk. Upon check in, even though we booked under one reservation, we were notified that our massages were on exact opposite ends of the complex. We weren't given any options to potentially move our massages closer together and were never notified of this before this moment. They told us when booking online the massages are assigned randomly, which doesn't make very much sense. In terms of the amenities, the locker rooms are pretty messy and do not seem to be cleaned very often or well. All the pools are all extremely crowded and also reek of lots of chlorine. It doesn't really feel like you can benefit from the "saline bath" that is also loaded with an obnoxious amount of chlorine. Once it came time for our massages, we quickly found out that the person who checked us in mixed up our reservations, which caused a good amount of headache when it came to important things like medical waiver forms. The massage was quite disappointing, it felt like an extremely overpriced back rub rather than a real massage. I asked for her to focus on my neck and back but they didn't even really massage my upper trap muscles which are the majority of what I would consider the back. I will say I prefer pretty strong pressure, so the feather light touch was not preferred at all. We got the $40 dinner set. It was extremely overpriced for what was served. I got the chicken, which was a super small portion (probably 1/2 a chicken breast) and under seasoned besides the gravy. The wine that came with it was pretty hard to drink and I am by no means picky about wine at all. My partner ordered the salmon and it had lots of bones in it, and the sauce was overwhelmingly sweet. The salmon had no flavor besides the sauce. Luckily, we paid for this experience with gift cards that were a gift. Our total for admission, 2 20 minute massages and 2 meals was exactly $300, which in my opinion is way too much. I would avoid this place if you can.

We specifically checked what's the latest we can place order for dinner, and when we arrived at that time, we were told that the kitchen was closed. Also, in the grotto, they are putting much less lotion on you than before. To compare, before they gave you more than your two palms could handle, and today they gave a toothpaste serving size.

My friends treated me to my very first spa day experience before my wedding. This surely was a treat. The whole experience was so relaxing. We went on a Wednesday and it was still pretty crowded. I had a massage with Jessica and it was great! There were water stations all over the place. We really enjoyed the bathing circuit and especially club mud. They were very unique experiences. We pretty much did everything and were there all day. There is so much to do that we forgot to eat. We had a drink and enjoyed our time. We ended the day with a Roman bath and showers right after. It was a great day and I will definitely be back.

Last week marked my second visit to Glen Ivy Hot Springs. My first experience at Glen Ivy was a couple of years ago when I treated my mom to a relaxing day here. I live in Los Angeles so it's a fairly manageable drive for a day trip and I had been looking forward to a relaxing girls' day for my most recent visit (last Wednesday). Unfortunately, one of my friends couldn't make it because she got stuck in Hawaii due to a cancelled flight. I mention this because Glen Ivy is extremely strict about their 24-hour cancellation policy. Even in cases like flight cancellations or situations out of one's control, they don't offer credits or partial refunds, which was disappointing and felt inflexible for a resort that promotes wellness and care. That said, once we arrived, the day was pretty good overall. I highly recommend getting there right at opening so you can secure a good lounge chair. The pools fill up quickly, and some of the smaller, more specialized areas (cold plunge, mineral baths, etc.) get crowded really fast and stay crowded the entire day... I don't know how being crammed in a tub with so many others is relaxing... Glen Ivy is sprawling, with lots of hidden nooks and relaxation zones, but good spots are definitely taken fast and early. I booked a 50-minute Signature Massage, which took place in one of the serene villas (Villa 3, I believe). I can't quite remember if my massage therapist's name was Jasmin, but whoever it was, she was amazing. The massage was easily the highlight of my day. I left feeling completely relaxed, rejuvenated, and pampered. Of course, 50 minutes flew by way too fast!!! No matter how long the massage is, it's never long enough! After the massage, we headed to the on-site cafe/bistro for lunch, which unfortunately aligned with peak lunchtime for what seemed like everyone there. The line was long but it moved fairly quickly. I ordered the Tuna Poke (super tasty and fresh) but the portion size left a lot to be desired, especially considering the price tag. AND, not long after, the power went out across the property for nearly an hour. Luckily, we had just finished eating, but it definitely disrupted the vibe for others arriving or hoping to shower or book services later in the day. We decided to call it a day and headed out around 3pm. Glen Ivy is undeniably a beautiful, calming spot with lots to offer including unique pools, spa services, and peaceful garden areas but at times it feels a bit overrated and overpriced, especially when it gets crowded or unexpected hiccups occur (like power outages or rigid policies). I'd still return, but I would try to aim for the off-season or a quieter weekday when it feels more exclusive and less hectic.

Came to celebrate a birthday. It was so relaxing - we came early Wednesday morning (9:45am) and there was already a line and a good amount of people. We heard that the weekends were too packed especially the summer so glad we came on a weekday. We added on several services including the grotto and hydromassage. The grotto was a super cool experience, they paint grotto (warm aloe Vera, shea butter, and some other minerals) on you then you sit in a meditation room before showering off. It was so relaxing and the warm grotto felt so good on my skin. The hydromassage is just a massage chair that uses water to massage you for 20 minutes in a dark room and that was also really nice. There's many pools to explore, we reserved chairs for the day which I'd recommend especially if you're coming later because even though we came early most of the unreserved lounge chairs were already taken. They give you a complimentary locker to put things in and there's complimentary towels everywhere available. If you go to the mud bath, they recommend wearing no jewelry and dark swimsuit to prevent staining. After the spa experience, my skin felt so smooth and I felt rejuvenated!

From the moment you arrive till the end you want to come back soon! The water dispenser with fruits and ice are refreshing. The pools are very clean and love that clean towels are provided! The GROTTO was extra but totally worth it!! We will back to enjoy this spa retreat!

We really enjoyed our day today. Plenty of amenities for your day. You literally don't have to do much except relax. The grotto service was great, but, don't talk above a whisper cuz they'll continue coming in to shush you. Took one star away for the food. It was pricey and underwhelming to say the least. The chicken tinga was tasteless. We had the nachos and the pollo bowl so it was on both and not good at all.

My friend treated me to a day here and it was amazing! Check-in felt a little busy at first, but once settled, everything flowed perfectly -- lockers, pools, and dining. The poolside restaurant was great, and the bar was a highlight. I'm not usually a drinker, but their piña coladas were a 10/10 (I had three! ). Such a perfect girls' day -- I'll definitely be back

Service and staff were attentive and very friendly in making sure you feel welcomed and at home. Olivia and Amber were very sweet and very helpful in our grato service today as they asked if I had allergies. In which I do to lavender. I was then told they would use a grape-seed oil instead. And handed a green card. This was awesome that I still got to partake in the expirience however, the warm room you enter should you have an allergy to either oils1 I don't recommend you sit I sat down and the eucalyptus/lavender oils were piled high and just globed everywhere. Though I appreciate them taking the time to make sure I wasn't initially exposed to it, by brush/painted on. it seemed to lack follow through in the next room... after being painted. maybe a separate area or a wiped down area for those far and few with skin irritations/allergies can be recommended for those attending in the future. Since it's by appt time each. I really loved the expirience but am leaving with an itchy back side/legs. As you can see, we still had a great time enjoying all the other amenities. Seemed slow at first but picked up closer to 12-1 pm. They provide water, electro lights, towels, some foods and alcoholic beverages to purchases and robes for rent. And there's even a Starbucks on site. Also for those with allergies you can ask for unscented body wash/shampooo and conditioner in the dressing rooms. Looking forward to the future and possibilities of future booked services. Hope they make a change to the little issue I had today as I hope no one should have to worry about that if they make a special accommodation in the beginning then follow through would be appreciated. :) thx to all the staff today and to my painter you were so sweet and kind and made me feel so comfortable. I apologize I forgot your name but you did my service 8/23 12:30 under. I hope this helps them find you and get you the recognition you deserve.

Always a great time at Glen Ivy!! Been there so many times, I'm surprised that I've never reviewed them! I recommend coming on a non weekend, non work holiday! I usually come out on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday in order to avoid the crowds. I also usually just book the wellness package because it comes with a cabana and everything you need in order to help you get your shit all the way together! Plus I'm partly anti social during my Spa days and like to avoid waiting in lines for food or sitting directly in the heat! If you're lucky enough to score a Air conditioned cabana, those are the best!! Today Gia administered some Grade A service to my friends and I.. Life has been wearing us out and all 4 of us were in desperate need of a Spa/Mental Health/Leave us the F$!k Alone day! There was a bit of a hiccup with our cabana reservation and she was able to rectify it seamlessly! Cory and Kevin were our lovely servers and they did an amazing job securing our wants and needs for the day! Ravi gave me one of the best massages that I've had in a very long time! Theresa hooked up one of my friends massage and I couldn't wait for my other friends to get it together in remembering the ladies who helped them- I wanted to get this review out while it was still fresh on my mind!! But I do know that we were also celebrating another year of one of my friends being cancer free, and she said her oncology massage was amazing as well! Thank you Glen Ivy for another Spectacular Day!! PS- you guys should really consider selling that Grotto Body mask concoction cuz that stuff is amazing!!

OK, so this is me, and my wife's favorite spa to go relax for the day. We've been coming here for over five years now. Once a year for our anniversary and I have to say this year. I was a little disappointed with the service. They usually have waiters or waitresses walking around, taking drink orders, and they usually have a second mini bar open to help out with the bigger bar, but this time they didn't. It was just one bar for everyone at the spa with only two registers, and they pretty much ran out of beer within the first hour. I think they need to go back with the servers walking around and having the other smaller bar open. Also, with the amount of guests that they have daily. I'm sure they could afford it and people won't be so angry. Waiting in line in a hot sun Just to get a drink.

My friend & I came here on a cold Thursday and there were still a good amount of people. Even though some of the spas were pretty full we had a great time! Our favorites were the mineral baths, club mud, and Roman bath. The food we ate throughout the day was bland but the drinks were delicious. Definitely bring your own robe unless you want to spend $30 to rent one. I also brought my own water bottle but didn't end up using it much as they have water stations with cups almost everywhere. All of the employees we came across were very helpful & nice too! I'm so glad we got the 2 for $100 promotion, I'm not sure it would be worth the $95+ admission considering it's only going to get busier in summertime. Minus one star for the woman that was puking in the bushes with a drink in her hand. Disgusting

Omg what a COOL hidden gem I had no idea existed. I went to celebrate my bf and I's 4 year and 2 weeks later, we are still talking about our massages. The best massage service EVER with those heated beds. Only complaint would be I was not in the same room as my partner but that was my fault for not knowing how in advance you have to book couples rooms. We enjoyed all of the pools and services and the cold hot plunge was my favorite. The natural springs is great but I cannot stand the boiled egg smell LOL. I would def recommend people go NOT on a weekend because it was absolutely PACKED. I didn't particularly enjoy our lunch. It was pretty bland and forgettable for the price we were paying so I wish they would have more food options.

Spend a weekday afternoon here after work! Parking is free. They search your bags- no outside food. You can bring an empty container for water. Showers available indoors- they have the lavender eucalyptus soaps inside for you to use, lockers and a key for you to remove. 1 foot pool always crowded- but I like that spot! Three bars open. Well water pumping through the water fountains- so drink up. Quality time spent with friends here. Spa and pools clean! The massages for me are not deep enough. I did do a grotto painted mud, not this time but a couple of times in the past and it's nice, moisturizing, and lovely downstairs in the grotto. Beautiful grounds. Lounger first come first serve ... unless you pay for a spot! I'm a fan and I do come here often.

Came here for a birthday celebration! Entrance was $85 dollars and we paid $45 to add on the Grotto. Parking is free right outside and they have ample parking. We arrived an hour after opening (we came during March) and there was plenty of open pool chairs (and throughout the day as well!) we checked in and went to the locker room. Plenty of lockers, bathrooms, showers, and a steam sauna + hot spring inside. We went to our grotto appointment about 15 minutes before to check in (pro-tip you can bring your own robe or rent one there). They bring you down an elevator where they apply this hot clay body mask and then you are taken to a sauna. It is at your own pace-- afterwards you go to another room to rinse off (the water pressure and temperature is great) and then end with complementary fruit and tea! Perfect way to relax. There are multiple pools--sulfur, mineral, hot and cold plunge, lounge pools, lap pool. Each with their own unique twist to help your body relax. I loved the mineral pool that overlooks the valley! So beautiful. The lounge pools with the floaty beds was a second favorite. So nice to lay there and take a nap in the warm sun! Lounge chairs are scattered all throughout and there was always space. Lastly, the food in the cafe there is amazing! Had the nachos, flatbread, and turkey sandwich (all to share) and it was so filling and yummy! Spent the whole day here and will be totally coming back when I want to have a resort spa day!

absolutely loved my visit. I took my time exploring every single location available to me, and by the end of the day, my skin was so soft. I was there from 10 AM to 5 PM and despite what I'd seen on TikTok about it being packed, it really wasn't. There was plenty of space and peace. The service overall was perfect. Everyone was super friendly. I had lunch around noon and ordered the poke bowl, which was beyond delicious. I also had a mimosa, then later a mojito. It was exactly the day I needed to decompress from a lot of stress. This was my first time here and since then I've told everyone about it. I already know I'll be back. I booked a massage with Salvador, and I'll admit I was a little nervous at first because I haven't had a male massage therapist in a long time. But he was extremely professional, gentle, and took the time to talk me through his technique. I've never had a massage that made me feel so relaxed I was falling asleep. He even shook my hand when we met, which stood out to me as respectful and kind. If you're booking, I highly recommend him. This was one of the best massages I've ever had. The only reason I gave service 4 stars for the service instead of 5 is because of an interaction near the cabanas. I sat down on one of the lounge chairs, not knowing it was reserved for cabana guests. An employee, Connor I believe, approached and said, "You're not a cabana guest." His tone came off a bit condescending. As a first-time visitor, I genuinely didn't know, and it would've made a difference if he had said something more courteous like, "Excuse me Miss, these chairs are reserved for cabana guests." If I had known ahead of time, I would've happily paid for one. Still, I'll absolutely be returning, cabana or not. I'm planning to bring my mom, fiancé, and future mother-in-law next time. I hope they enjoy it as much as I did.

Rest, relaxation and rejuvenation are all the things you'll find here at Glen Ivy Hot Springs. Located in the mountains of the Temescal Valley, this wellness destination features geothermal mineral baths which are known for their therapeutic properties. If you haven't experienced hydrotherapy before, Glen Ivy is the premier place to go in SoCal. I booked a day pass with my friend which granted us access to their nineteen different pools on the property, all of which boast unique features in their own ways. There was a saline pool, lounge pool, hot and cold plunges, a Roman bath and much more. The lushly manicured landscaping made for a wonderfully tranquil setting, helping to wash away some of the stressors of everyday life. The famous Club Mud was a fun and interesting way to wrap up the experience where we slathered our skin with California red mud to reveal softened skin upon rinsing. Glen ivy also features food and drinks with a few dining options. If you plan to be there for half a day or more, you'll want to grab a bite or something to sip on. I tried the fish tacos and a frozen cocktail, both of which were decent for their price.

Went there on a Sunday for a massage and the grotto. So many things to do during your visit. The suggested cycle is the Mineral Bath, Salt water pool, hot & cold plunge, sauna, club mud. There is a lap pool where they hold aqua fit classes or you can lounge in one of the other pools. Towels are provided and if you would like a robe you can rent one for the day. There are several place to eat on property. I dined for lunch at the Ivy Kitchen and the food was amazing. Pictures is the Poke Salad with rice. Also the butter cake for dessert. The grotto was my last service and I did that after the mud cave. I highly recommend wrapping up your stay with the grotto as your last stop. I will definitely be going back and was told weekdays are best because it is not as crowded.

First time coming here, and have to say it's actually pretty fun. It's a relaxed and quiet environment and everyone is having a great time. From the hot to cold plunges, the mud bath and the grotto, everything was really great and fun. Vibe was great, and every chance you get you get to relax. I came in the evening time 4-9 pm and minimal crowd and no over crowding. It's awesome you get a free locker and the sauna and jacuzzi in the locker rooms. Only draw back is no cash accepted and the alcoholic drinks are a little weak for the price. Food was a little on the expensive side also, but to my surprise the ribs were excellent and so was the flatbread. Def will be coming back with a little more time.

Had a very pleasant experience at Glen Ivy Hot Springs on 2.11.25. A couple of girlfriends & I booked a day of pampering & relaxation & we definitely got it here. It had been a while since I had been to Glen Ivy & need to make it a point to go more often. I booked a 60 minute massage with the added CBD treatment with Cheri. It was an incredible massage & she worked out a lot of the tension on the left side of my body. She was always checking in on me to make sure I was comfortable & I really appreciated that. We got the private cabanas & our server was so attentive during the entirety of our stay. He was helpful in substituting beverages that were not available. I also received complimentary champagne & dessert. We also ordered some items from the restaurant & the food was amazing. The spa/ common areas were so well kept and it wasn't extremely busy the day we were there. Overall 10/10 spa, pools, lounge & restaurant!

Not the first time at Glen Ivy and not the last! Visited yesterday for a special mother & daughter day of wellness. Always well maintained with care by the staff and overall a chill atmosphere. Came on here to thank Brett (and door person) at the entrance for his support of a small issue that got resolved in seconds. Working in this industry takes patience and understanding and it was exactly his response. Thank YOU. Appreciated all of the staff that worked hard to replenish and work together to make this a great place. All of this in 90 plus degree weather! Can't wait to visit again next month. Keep up the great work Glen Ivy!

Registration went smoothly online and in person. You can't use gift cards online so I booked using my CC and then cancelled and used my GC upon checkin. Last Wednesday was pretty slow and chilly but perfectly okay. The electricity did go out for about 1 1/2 hours. Unfortunately it was when I was ordering a coffee so I had to wait for the power to come back on. I had already been in the water and it was cold. When it didn't seem like any time soon, we opted for water aerobics. That killed some time but we didn't want to go sit in still water. We decided to check on an ETA and if my friend should cancel her additional services when the power came back on. I think management should had given us an update on what was going on and if they had an ETA. Once power was restored the kitchen and cafe was running again and there was no other hiccups. I was glad it was a slow day but did feel bad for those who were waiting to get in. Ordered the #ChickenNachos and #AsianChickenSalad #BrownButterCake The chicken was delicious and so was dessert. You can easily spend the $100 gift card in a day but purchasing it during their specials make it a great deal and day.

Glen Ivy will always have a special place in my heart. I've been coming here for years and have never had anything short of a wonderful experience! This most recent trip I noticed workers going around frequently to pick up trash and ensure chairs were available if no one had claimed them with a towel or whatnot. For the best experience get there when it opens, follow the recommended order for the pools, and enjoy - because time will sadly fly by! Pro Tip: If you don't want to pay for the grotto, use their lotion and go to the steam room - practically the same thing but for free!

I visited Glen Ivy Hot Springs in Temescal Valley, CA on Monday, 1/27/25, around 2:30 PM. I opted for the half-day admission (1-5 PM window) for only $45. Thankfully, I came on a day when it was not packed with many individuals. I started my visit by going to the Vista Pool, where I enjoyed beautiful views of the ambiance. The pool water was nicely hot and relaxing. Next, I went over to The Club Mud Experience. I immersed myself in the mud pool and applied clay to my skin. Afterward, I exfoliated and rinsed the clay in the outdoor shower. The experience left my skin feeling extremely soft. Lastly, I tried the Saline Pool filled with Epsom salts. It helped with therapeutically treating the tightness of muscles, joints, cramps, and inflammation. I stayed for a total of two hours. I was content with everything that I experienced within the timeframe. I ended the visit by stopping at GOCO Cafe. I treated myself to a nice Mocha Frappuccino. It was much needed. Overall, this place is the epitome of rejuvenation. I highly recommend coming here to unwind. It is a perfect, peaceful environment to de-stress from everyday life.

I came here with two friends for a relaxing day at the spa - I will say for the price point, this was really great! We had a wide variety of pools available - mineral, saline, hot and cold. There were also a mud bath (cover yourself in clay, bake in a room and the sun, exfoliate) and two saunas (150 and 180 degrees). We paid a bit extra to go to the grotto, where they cover you completely in this moisturizing goop and sit in a humid room, then sit in a nice cool room with complimentary tea and apples after showering. We also opted to get a 50 min massage, which was so utterly fantastic that I passed out during it. The food was also better than expected - for 3 people, we ended up ordering 3 pizzas (pepperoni, Hawaiian, and truffle), along with a soup of the day and two desserts. It was a lot of good quality food, and I would highly recommend what we ordered. Overall, I would really love to come back - I felt extremely refreshed afterwards. Just don't forget sandals like I did!

Ok, I wish I could give different aspects different reviews. Some parts were a solid 5, other parts a 3. First of all, this place is a cattle call, so many people, not a really quiet relaxing vibe, and the mineral pool is tiny and crammed. It's people soup and you're close to everyone. The drinks were also cheap tasting which was unimpressive for the rest of the feel of the property. Definitely bring your own robe or poncho, they charge $30 for a robe rental!!! NO WAY! I was glad I brought towel ponchos. The locker rooms were elbow to elbow but free. Club mud was really fun, but they need a bigger sauna because it was paaaaacked with people trying to dry off and keep warm when it was cold. I liked the grotto experience but I thought they had some semi private hot tubs which they did not. It was a skin treatment and you could just hang out and chill in the quiet room. The skin treatment was nice and the steam was not super hot so that was really nice. The restaurant was celiac friendly and had gluten free options, and I was able to eat there without having to pack food which was a big bonus. I checked in advance but you could bring food if you needed too. Overall it was a nice experience, and I'd be back to enjoy the grounds again.

My mom and I decided to do a day at Glen Ivy craving some good r&r and mineral springs benefits. We did choose to day pass on a Sunday as that is what worked for our schedule. We anticipated it would be busy but not so crowded that we would be waiting on turns for the mineral pools, lawn chairs almost all preoccupied, and lunch line very long. They seemed to have oversold their day passes and fulfilled beyond their capacity. Our hydromassage canceled midday as the machines broke. Truly a disappointing experience from the customer service to the amenities themselves, considering the cost. Even the mineral pools have increased in their chlorine levels where I question the benefits. Many of the staff seemed young, new and not knowledgeable on the details of arrival and flow of events. I would not recommend a weekend pass for those seeking true rejuvenation and quiet. Common areas were quite loud, busy and many seemed to be enjoying a more party vibe. My last visit was on a weekday years ago, where I enjoyed a truly serene setting, the mineral pools felt authentic in their healing benefits, and the grotto was a complimentary amenity (now $45 pp). Glen Ivy seems to have lost its vision as a true healing and wellness retreat for the people. Pros: -Recommend weekdays or after hours -Plenty of parking -Plenty of lawn chairs -Lush and beautiful setting -Nice layout of amenities & privacy -Cleanly bathhouse and refreshments -Relaxing and updated saunas -Walkable common areas with easy access -Dynamic food menu Cons: -Crowded weekends - party vibes -Novice staff -Highly chlorinated pools -Not many truly healthy drink or food options (would have loved to see smoothies, fresh pressed juices) -Grotto area is now a separate cost & oversold on weekends -Cleanliness by pools is questionable -Services not dependable

My boyfriend and I were really excited to check this spa out for the first time. We made last-minute plans and saw availability online, so we headed over. However, when we arrived, the front desk staff (Isabel) told us -- very abruptly after judging us up and down -- that what we saw online was no longer available, and immediately tried to upsell us to something about $250 more expensive. When I mentioned that we had literally just seen the availability online, she brushed it off and said that the system doesn't always say "sold out" -- it just won't let you book. That didn't sit right with us especially because I saw the first tier option was sold out and we were planning on doing the second tier which did not say sold out, so we stepped outside to regroup. Out of curiosity, my boyfriend pulled out his phone, and sure enough, the original experience was still available... and he was able to book it without any issues. This was disheartening. If we hadn't double-checked, we would've been turned away -- likely just to be upsold on something we didn't want. It's hard not to feel like we were being taken advantage of, especially as first-time visitors. To top it off, we ordered drinks at the bar (which cost over $70+ and they tasted like straight water with zero alcohol. For a place that markets itself as a luxury experience, this missed the mark in too many ways. Overall, not impressed and definitely disappointed. First impressions matter -- and sadly, ours was not a good one.

Really can't put it into words...on a day pass, took my husband here for our anniversary (it's NOT just for ladies). He talked about it the whole night & is ready to go back! So glad we didn't take in everything...we have so much to look forward to!

Benefit of this place twice in two weeks once during the day and once during the night. The grounds are beautiful, lush trees everywhere, providing ample shade, but still letting the sunlight drench various areas... Lots of pools to choose from however they are packed. Both in a day and night you'll be within an elbows reach of somebody. I received a massage the first time and it was excellent. The massage rooms are very basic not a true luxurious feel however, the service provided was top-notch. Went to the grotto and enjoyed being painted with some sort of clay. There is a heated steam room and a cold room too relax before going back up to the main property. My disappointment was with the kitchen options. I am vegan called in advance and was told there are several vegan options. The first time I went I got the passport to wellness package, which includes lunch. However the lunch menu I was provided has nothing vegan on it other than chips and salsa and you're supposed to get an appetizer and main course Along with a sangria. When I asked my waiter, what vegan option I could have he was a bit confused told me about the three items on the menu (chicken and fish dishes, lol) then went and talked to a manager to ask about vegan food. I was grateful he offered to go ask a manager - but when he came back and said they have vegan cheese lol. I said OK I guess I'll order the margarita pizza with vegan cheese, since it didn't seem, they had any protein substitutes... Previously, I had asked him about the veggie bowl, if that was or could be made vegan. So when he brought my pizza, he brought both dishes and said he just decided to bring me both in case I didn't like the pizza. I assumed this was complementary since I didn't ask for two entrées. He also didn't ask me for payment or provide a receipt. I did not put a card on file as I did not anticipate ordering any extra cocktails and lunch was already included. However, a few days later, I come to find out that I was billed for the extra meal he brought me. I find it a bit sneaky that they would charge the card. I made my reservation with without even telling me for something that I did not ask for. Then let's talk about the food itself, the vegetable rice bowl was fine the first day. But no seasoning at all. Plain white rice and plain steamed vegetables pretty boring if you ask me. The margarita pizza was OK, but it was so covered in cheese very heavy and not much flavor to the sauce. I ordered the chips and guacamole as my appetizer and the chips were extremely oily like glistening in the sun oily. Not what you expect at spa... my second time here went for the dinner package, which sadly came with the same dinner options as the first time. This time I ordered directly at the restaurant and asked what could be made vegan since it says all dishes can be made vegan. They told me they can substitute tofu for any of the proteins I said OK great I would like the mango mahi-mahi dish without the fish replace with tofu. When our meal comes out, they brought me chicken lol. Surely there was just a mixup so I told them what I ordered. They apologized and went away. Five minutes later, a woman comes out and asks me what the mixup was and I told her I'm vegan. I don't eat chicken or fish. I would like tofu with my entrée. She says OK got it another 10 minutes or so goes by. She comes out asking more questions. I told her the same thing again she says OK. Then she comes out and bring some french fries on the house since we're now waiting at least twice as long for our food. Then my dish comes out and it's literally plain tofu, not one drop of seasoning or the mango sauce the fish comes with, and plain white rice and steamed mixed vegetables (also no seasoning), even though I ordered the sautéed carrots. I am amazed that in 2025 multiple people don't know what vegan means or how to season food just because we're vegan. Doesn't mean we don't like flavor. How difficult word to be to have a robust salad or two as a main entrée, or a falafel/hummus plate. And if you're just going to offer tofu as a replacement, at least have the decency to serve it with a nice sauce like all the other dishes. I will go back to enjoy the pools, but I wouldn't waste my money booking a package that includes food here. Oh and on a positive sidenote, their drinks are very good - but the first time around I was not given my glass of sangria at the end of the passport to wellness package. It was an offered or asked about and I didn't even realize till I was getting ready to pack up, so I just said forget it. My server that day was Danny if anybody wants to follow up with him on why I was charged for the extra meal I didn't ask for and not offered the sangria, I hate to get the guy in trouble but just an opportunity for a little training there would be useful. And training the kitchen staff about the basics on vegan food would be great.

Loved this Glen Ivy Hot Springs all day visit for my birthday. We went on a Thursday afternoon during spring break and thought it would be busy but it was not busy at all. Arrived at 9:30 am and got reserved lounges but no one was there in the other lounges the whole day, which is weird bc they said all of the seats were reserved, but they were empty all day. Relaxing day going from pool to pool and grotto visit,and mud pool was great. The food is excellent and delicious. All employees were nice and friendly and helpful with any questions we had. We will visit again and again bc this is my Disneyland for Adult. I didn't want to leave, but we left at 3:30 p.

By far one of my favorite spas! I use to visit Glen Ivy on my birthday every year and I'm not sure why I ever stopped but I'm bringing it back without a doubt! Apportionments are easy to book online or over the phone, Heather was so incredibly kind and helpful answering all my questions. FYI Temescal Valley location and Corona location are both the same locations! They said they're working on that. Also you'll have to either pay for your booking up front or add a card and they'll charge in 48 hrs before your appointment. Parking is free and plenty of it! They even have additional in the same lot. Once there it's an easy check in, you get a wristband if you're looking to purchase alcohol, grab a map, and you're on your way! Along the way there are station maps and even a suggested sign on how to use the resort. There are plenty of services you can add on to your visit like massages, salon, grotto experience etc. Locker area is so so big I definitely got lost in there, super clean and my favorite they have a bathing suit dryer. There are plenty of showers, vanity's, blow dryers, q tips, tissues, and even breast feeding station which I thought was so mindful. There's a Starbucks on site and a cafe with delicious food! Remember to bring a water bottle to keep hydrated even if you think you'll be fine, you'll feel it! There is cucumber lemon water stations all around the resort and even water bottle refill stations as well. Towel service nearly at every pool, and showers as well! You'll be in a bathing suit all day and a robe to throw on top. You can either rent one or bring your own! Be sure to wear something you don't mind getting dirty, the clay in club mud stains. Overall such a cute place to visit with your s/o, best friends, bridal party, mom, etc just anyone! Can't wait to be back!

From the moment we arrived at Glen Ivy Day Spa, it felt like we had stepped into The White Lotus, Thailand--minus the long security lines and exhausting flight. We spent the day immersed in relaxation and luxury. The facilities are pristine, thoughtfully designed, and offer something for everyone; from the mineral baths to the relaxing lounge areas. The highlight of our visit was The Grotto experience. It was incredibly unique and left our skin feeling rejuvenated and refreshed--definitely a must-do! NOTE: rent a robe for an added bit of luxury ($25/ea) What truly set our day apart, however, was the exceptional service from our server, Connor. He was warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure our experience was unforgettable. He went above and beyond with thoughtful touches, timely service, and helpful recommendations that made our visit feel personalized and special. For those of you with curious ears, keep them perked up--you might just overhear some juicy tidbits of drama from fellow visitors, adding an extra layer of intrigue to your day! If those pool chairs could talk... Thank you, Glen Ivy (and Connor), for a truly wonderful escape--we're already planning our next visit!

This is my first time coming this spa. We are here to celebrate my friends' birthday. We bought the admission tickets online 2 weeks before, and we also order grotto experience. Price was reasonable. There was a big parking lot and parking was not a problem. We checked in with the receptionist, and the ladies were very friendly. They put a wrist band on us, and we just head to the locker room to get change. Locker room is spacious, there were changing rooms too. The steam room and a warm pool was inside the female locker room too. There were pool with mineral water, which we are only allow to stay in for 15 min in each turn. One thing I did not like was that a big party was next to us, and they were yelling and screaming. We were unable to relax while soaking in the mineral water. There were sauna and other pool in different temperature. There were also a pool with flowing bed that we can lounge on. There was a restaurant, and those are all healthy eats. I got an Asian chicken salad, and it was very tasty! I love the overall experience, but dislike that people could get loud when they were excited. It would be nice if staff can address to people getting too loud. In that way, everyone can get to relax and enjoy this spa experience.

A mid-week R&R with a friend was just what I needed. I hadn't been to Glen Ivy in decades, and it's expanded a lot while still remaining a beautiful place. I wanted to be present, so I didn't take any photos. Here's a breakdown of my thoughts: Reservations: It was difficult to get through to a live person, and I had to wait for a while. However, once I got through, the person was kind and helpful. I had to coordinate the services, so I called back later, but a recording stated they were no longer accepting calls for the day as it was after 4 PM. I called back the next morning and was able to book my services. We purchased the "friend" package, which included entry, a service, and a breakfast voucher. Upon arrival: Try to get there as soon as it opens to make the most of your money and avoid the line. They do check your bags, but the process is pretty quick. There's plenty of parking. Once you check in, head to the lockers. They offer towels, so you don't need to bring one unless you want to. You can also bring your own robe to save from renting one. They have fruit-enhanced ice water in dispensers throughout the place, so you can bring an empty flask and fill it up or use their small disposable cups. Food: It was okay, but not impressive. For lunch, I wanted the quesadillas, but they were all out. I was baffled--how could they be out of quesadillas on a Wednesday? I opted for the artichoke spinach calzone, which was mostly ricotta with a few bits of artichoke and spinach...dry & bland. Facial: I had a facial, and it was wonderful. I don't recall the esthetician's name, but she was kind and attentive. She also provided a head, shoulder, neck, and arm massage, which was a nice touch. We enjoyed the jacuzzi inside the locker/shower area, the mineral baths, and the clay. The downside was that we couldn't find any lounge chairs. We couldn't rent any because they were sold out. People leave their towels on the "free" lounge chairs so you don't know if they belong to someone or not. It was crowded. All day, there was a line to get in the mineral bath but we finally got in around 4:15pm when most folks were starting to leave. For the price, I feel like they should monitor how many people they allow in to ensure guests can get a lounge chair. Or perhaps create some kind of tag system that shows when a lounge chair is being held for someone who might be in the pool. I noticed even the workers didn't know whether they should move a towel or not.

My wife got me and my extended family hooked. She brought me for the first time 4 years ago and then our group started to grow. The following year my brother and his wife joined us and then the following year my other brother and his wife joined us in what has become an annual summer event for us. We started as a pair and now have added an additional couple each year. The services are wonderful but I do prefer they offer firm pressure on their massages as an option. The food had good flavor with reasonable portions. The grotto was fun to try a word of caution the stuff you get painted with was actually pretty hot. More than I expected. Definitely recommend doing the passport to wellness and booking the first massage of the day. This allows you to enter the property early and you can get settled in to enjoy the day.

Went on a Saturday evening and it was beyond overcrowded, loud and dirty. People everywhere and every spa/ sauna filled up the brim. We got the dinner package and the chicken and fish were both super dry.. If I was you, I'd go to murrieta hot springs. It's much cleaner and unlike glen ivy less people and cheaper. This place did have good cocktails though, but $15.50 for one

Had a really lovely day. Enjoyed a hot Himalayan stone massage, spent time in the grotto, had a relaxing breakfast and soaked in the hot springs, as well as, the saline spa. The property is very pretty and the staff is very friendly. The weather was cool, so it was nice when we were in the waters. The mud was less enjoyable because of the weather, the water was cool and the showers were also cool. I was excited about the mimosa and avocado toast because things are grown on property, however the OJ was in a store bought container, so that was a shame. Aside from that... it was lovely.

Went here for a girls day with 4 others and we all had an amazingly relaxing time! We were all very impressed with the friendly staff, overall cleanliness, the amount of pools/spas and the variety of services they offer. We got the grotto option and I'm so glad we did it towards the end of our day. We arrived when they opened and spent time in all the different pools, cold plunge, mineral pools and then took a break for lunch at their cafe. It was all fresh and delicious food, good variety too. We then experienced the mud bath, which was fun and refreshing once washed off. After that we were able to check in for the grotto and experience the warm lotion lathered all over our bodies, let it soak in while experiencing the cave in silence and then got to rinse off when we felt ready. It was probably the most relaxed I'd felt in a long time so it was really nice to just layout afterwards and keep as much of the lotion on us instead of rinsing it off in the pools. Definitely want to go back and try out some of their other services.

Visited Glen Ivy yesterday, 7/12/25. We got there at 9:30am and we started to notice the crowd getting bigger and bigger. We were elbow to elbow in the locker rooms. There should be a cap on the people coming in. Every single seat was taken. Saturday was the only day we could go as we lived 2 hours away. The pools and the vibe was def, not what I was expecting. The staff in fairness is pleasant, helpful and welcoming. But the crowd felt like I was on a carnival cruise. Loud, rowdy, and not very nice. I came for a relaxing day with 2 other women who go to spas often to celebrate my pre-wedding. This was our first time. The food was delicious. We ate at the ivy kitchen but 1. We couldn't find a seat(that's how busy it was. 2. When we did find a seat, we were sitting next to a large group of women who was just having a good time...but they were SO LOUD. I couldn't even hear my best friend talking. Everyone was staring at them...We ended moving to the GOCO cafe where the staff pleasantly allowed us to sit there. The locker room was so packed at the end of our day...we waited for showers, waited to get next to my locker. It felt like a water park. If you're looking for a relaxing day, don't come here on weekends. Loud music, loud people, and huge crowds. Weekdays aren't in the books for us. But I'm sure it's less packed. Great experience, as far as the facilities. But the crowd is going to keep us away.

Overall Experience: Great Spa to visit especially to take a chill day and do nothing but be near the pool and get some rest! Can get very crowded but it will ease off as people will leave early. I recommend also eating here for brunch/lunch and then grabbing dinner around Chino Hills (plenty of great restaurants). One thing I noticed over the years is Glen Ivy has gotten popular and when I went again this year in 2025, I must say that it was quite crowded! It is what it is, and it's great to see success with this property, however you should anticipate it to be busy unless it's really cold and off-season. Activity: Great number of pools and activity. The mud spa is definitely unique and fun to do. Tip: read the instructions you have to let the mud dry off and then use a dry towel to rub it off to exfoliate the skin. I don't know how legit this is but don't just wash off the dry mud with water. Service: Staff were friendly and accommodating. Ambiance: Great vibes all around - hopefully it's not too crowded but try to enjoy even if it's packed. Everyone is just trying to have a good time. Parking Situation: Plenty of parking - however it can get quite busy so I recommend showing up early!

Glen Ivy is my favorite spa with the most beautiful location. Super secluded and full of so many memorable spa treatments. The club mud section is one of a kind, importing rare mud to be used on your visit. The food at the spa is incredible, the nachos are amazing along with the lava flow drink. The grotto is an underground cave treatment with green mud, and it's so relaxing!

Perfect girls day or birthday celebration treat. I only knew about this place from my friend who wanted to try out Club Mud for the first time. I booked both of us an Aromatherapy Massage in the morning and the Grotto in the afternoon with early access to the spa and a private cabana. The whole package is expensive, so I'd only come here for a special occasion. The massage was the highlight for me. The Grotto was also unique to experience since we already paid an entry fee. We arrived 15 minutes early before they opened at 9AM which gave us plenty of time to pass through bag inspection upon entry, tour the facility, meet our host at the private cabana, and relax in the Saline Pool before our massages. Note: no outside food or drinks are allowed. Feel free to bring an empty refillable water bottle. My masseuse was Christine and she focused on the knots in my back and shoulders. This was one of the best massages I've had and it started the day off on a relaxing note. After our massages, we baked at Club Mud to exfoliate our skin before heading to the Grotto. The Grotto felt like a ritual where someone slathers a moisturizing mixture all over your body with a brush. It was slippery and thick, and not recommended on your face as it might burn your eyes. After steaming and rinsing off the moisturizer, we enjoyed deliciously chilled green apples. I'm not sure if it was the whole ritual or being in a zen state of mind that the apples were extra crispy, juicy, and sweet. I also enjoyed our time in the private cabana. Our host, Connor, was the sweetest. I informed him we were celebrating my friend's birthday and he delivered us a cheesecake brownie dessert on the house. He was so attentive and let us order on the main menu without up-charge for our one appetizer and one entree. I don't drink so I ordered a complimentary mocktail. The private cabana was also nice because of the plush, luxurious robes. Some other experiences I enjoyed were the Hot and Cold Plunge. Overall, I had a wonderful experience at Glen Ivy Hot Springs. Other notes: I definitely recommend wearing a black swimsuit for Club Mud. Bring sunblock, sunglasses, hat, extra change of clothes, and slippers you don't mind getting dirty.

I have been coming to this place for years, maybe once every two years or so since I don't live in the state where it is. Visited it again the last week of October for the first time in quite some time. It was amazing as usual and it seems to have expanded since the last time I was here. You do need to make reservations, we made them maybe a month or more in advance to ensure we were able to get in. There is plenty of parking in the lot at no charge. You used to be able to bring in water from the outside, but now you can bring empty water bottles only. This is totally okay because they have free water stations all in the property which is really nice. Once checked in you will go to the locker room where you have access to free lockers to put your items away. They are also free. Now we arrived around 10am and already the place was pretty busy and hard to find a spot by the pool we wanted to go to, but was able to find a spot at the pool. I suggest as soon as you get checked in, go find your ideal spot and put your towels down. Time is of the essences since everyone tends to want the same spot where the morning sun is. There are tons of spots for you to relax in rather you are doing water exercises with a instructor, or want to do laps, want to lounge in the water lounge things, or you want to do hot springs just so so many. An added bonus if you want to pay a little extra to do the grotto which I won't spoil it but Id day its a must do. You must reserve that spot as well. They do have massage and facials you can book as well, again suggest doing it in advance. There is a restaurant on site along with a bar with pretty amazing cocktails and also a Starbucks. So once you are there, you have everything you need. If you forget something they have a giftshop that has pretty much everything as well. This is hands down one of my fav places in the US.

I've always enjoyed coming here for a day to re charge my body and mind. The pools are always clean, the bathrooms, showers, changing areas are always clean. My took my husband for the first time and he absolutely enjoyed his day at Glen ivy. Club mud is always an amazing treatment, the sulfur baths and the grotto were his favorite. The food is always good and along with cocktails that we can enjoy while lounging in the water.
