La Paloma Hot Springs & Spa

I don't even know how many stars to give this place. The website has zero availability through November, which is as far as their calendar will go, and I am 99.9% sure they are not fully booked for the next 7 months. When asked if they have rooms available, they responded only with "the website is up to date and accurate." What does that mean? Are you booking rooms - or not? I loved this place pre pandemic and was excited to see the website back up recently, but let down again as it seems they are not actually operating.

This is the fourth visit for my daughter and I. We've been coming for years. After a number of reschedules, we arrived in a very warm October. We weren't certain how soaking in hot waters would feel with the outside temps in the low nineties. However, once immersed, the experience of the soothing water takes over and when emerging, the air feels comfortably cool. We enjoyed a larger room this time which was lovely. One of the things that strikes me every time I visit is the love and pride that is evident here. There are treasures of art nestled everywhere, some obvious, some happy surprises. The staff is cheery and helpful , brimming with good information about this special place. A new thing I learned is its venerable history; one bathhouse was created in 1924 (Happy Centenary!) and the other 1919! The experience of soaking in the naturally arising waters is superior to that of tubs being filled and drained. I look forward to returning

The website shows no availability for the entire year. The folks that refused to answer the phone or return calls will text you back with vague messages containing almost no information. They were super rude and unhelpful. All follow ups for clarifications were rebuffed. This year we went to Sierra Grande instead. Skip the hassle as they are likely closed anyway.

La Paloma is our go to place in Truth or Consequences... there are a few reasons for this. We like the accommodations in the courtyard close to the baths. They are cabin like comfy rooms that we find fit nicely with our needs, great pricing and always clean. The separate baths are another detail we like. The main bath house has a seating area so when you finish soaking you can take time before heading back to your room. The main bath house also has resting beds in the private soaking area, which I really like, so when the heat is enough you can rest on the beds and go back and forth. There are two bath houses so when both are open there are so many choices off which room one prefers. Now the water, we find it incredibly soothing and always notice a difference on our skin and hair after a few soaks. It always makes us feel rejuvenated. Cindy is always upbeat and wanting to make our stay enjoyable... well, we always come back so that says it all!

My out of town family and my self have stayed here several times in deferent rooms. And have also soaked hourly many times. The one and only thing why we kept going back is the natural springs soaks. I've tried calling numerous times since I STILL have a prepaid card with soaks. And no one ever answers. Things have been back to normal for a while now. I would like to be able to soak or get my $ back. I would truly appreciate a response..

Like the last review stated. I was trying to book a stay and got a response from a lady named Cindy stating that they are not taking guests, day soakers or spa guests. She gave me the name of Andre Soule a wonderful body worker who we had come to our air bnb ||I was so disappointed to not be able to soak in these healing waters that once had many guests coming around to find healing and peace ||It’s a historical marker and Geronimo would bathe here amongst many others that felt the power of these waters and land. I so wish someone would come and purchase this place and breathe new life into it. Unfortunately the abuse is continuing and I truly hope it stops sooner than later

I’ve just returned from my second visit to La Paloma and I’m already planning my third. Their pools range from 96° all the way up to 110°. So there are lots of choices all dependent on your preference. The soaking rooms are small and very private so there’s no need for a bathing suit. They also have a massage table in them so you can cool off for a bit and then go back into the lovely tub. I love to watch my arms float in the crystal clear water. And look at all of the lovely rocks and gravel on the bottom. It’s also fun to peek out of the overflow hole. The staff are lovely. I have yet to meet anyone who wasn’t welcoming. I just really enjoy the serene, pleasant atmosphere. Somehow soaking really does take all your cares away and put you in a very calm state of mind. My room-number three-was perfect. Two queen size beds and decent kitchenette. We brought our own breakfast and lunch fixings which was great for snacking around soaks. Don’t make the mistake I did the first time and book for only one night. It’s not long enough. Two was lovely, next time maybe three.

I love this place. My partner and I make a habit of visiting one or twice a year. The fire pits and hammocks are the best. The staff is friendly and the rooms are great. The beds are comfortable. The outdoor spa is nice and rather small and doesn't feel as enchanting but very clean and quiet.
