...My husband and I checked into the Spring Resort and Spa last month on a winter getaway. We drove through the valley where sagebrush dotted the sere landscape, before the road began to climb steeply into town. Hidden behind a white wall on a residential street, the 11-room resort includes a swimming pool, an indoor soaking pool and Jacuzzi tub - the waters heated in the earth's fissures and emerging at 170 degrees before being cooled to varying temperatures. A velvety patch of lawn and palm trees lead down to a wooden Finnish sauna, showers and treatment rooms for massage and facials...

"It's easy to understand why reader's of Spafinder magazine ranked THE SPRING among the top 10 mineral springs spas in the nation"

This quaint hotel, originally created in the 1950s, was revived four years ago by owner Maria Lease.

Using a system to cool down its 170-degree spring water, guest can soak in one of its three mineral water pools varying from 84 to 104 degrees in the summer. "The hotter the mineral water, the greater the mineral content", Lease says.

After an exfoliation, these healing minerals are more easily absorbed through the skin. Repeated exfoliation, massage and soaking stimulate the heating process, resulting in total relaxation and rejuvenation.

Valerie's thoughts:

"I was truly reborn here. Illuminating for couples and a divine retreat for singles, this place is a liquid heaven. I left feeling so elated, revived, relaxed and rejuvenated, I no longer felt the pain of a pulled muscle in my right leg."

 
Customer Reviews:

Awesome. One of the top hidden spas my wife and I have ever been to. On a scale of 1 to 10 it rates an 11. The water is amazing not only to drink but to wade in. I hope everyone discovers this place. On second thought maybe I want to keep this little gem to ourselves. This spa is elegant simplicity at it's finest. Very clean and crisp. The massage therapists, Jennifer & Dan, were the best massage therapists my wife and I had in a long while. This place is truly on of the Desert Springs hidden treasures. If peace and quiet are what you are looking for - look no further. The Spring in Desert Hot Springs is it.
Ken & Myra Lochner, Nov. 8

The Spring is the perfect balance of beauty, peace & tranquility. They thought until the last detail to make this a magnificent experience.
Brian & Karen

What an oasis! My beautiful partner Julie became my fiancé after a night here! What a healing ecstatic place. Maria is a wonderful host.
Stuart Cameron & Julie Cohen 6/28

Absolutely fabulous time. So relaxing. Jennifer is amazing. We love it here! We'll be back!!
Gail & Rod Crosby

If you want peace & quiet, a real get away, this is it. Spa treatments are wonderful (thank you Jennifer) and at night. Wow!
Barbara Bergland, Oct. 21


What a wonderful hidden jewel. I enjoy staying at small facilities that focus on wellness. Your facility is serene, clean, & holistic. I took a chance on the internet site and I am glad it did. The waters are magnificent.
N. Martin, Seattle, WA May 19


This has been a most welcomed regenerative experience. My wife & I are often caught in the world of effects & constantly move to keep pace with an accelerated life style. The Spring has served to reconnect us to be more committed to that thing called self & in turn more committed to each other & the vision that creates focus for our journey. We will be back!!
Zaid G., May 28

Like many people who have stayed here, we have gotten caught up in a very fast-paced lifestyle & do not get much of a chance to relax. We celebrated our 6 year wedding Anniversary here this weekend and we relaxed, rejuvenated & found each other again. We were not expecting to have such a spiritual experience, but it was exactly what we needed. Thanks to all of you for your welcoming hospitality - everyone on the staff is enjoyable to be around!
Dudley & Jeniese Callihan, 6/6

What a secret! I have had a wonderful time and eager to tell my friends about The Spring. Thank you for a wonderful weekend getaway. I will return again soon.
Cher Culver, 6/24

Maria & Friends
Thank you so much for a wonderful, special & relaxing honeymoon! We hope to return before our first anniversary.
Thank again
Coung & Tom, July 1

I wanted to say that I have visited many luxurious small quaint hotels all over the world, China, Bali, Thailand, India. I would say that yours ranks right up there with them: let me tell you why, peace & quiet. I was so relaxed here and I love the waters and view. Please enjoy your success and I will spread the word.
Mark & Karla

This is a desert oasis. The atmosphere is relaxing and rejuvenating. We have been planning our return ever since we arrived. Thank you

I have already planned 3 returns with 3 different groups of people. I want all of my friends to experience the relaxation I've experienced here.

Eric and I were looking for a respite from the world. A place to relax, unwind and rejuvenate our energies and spirits. We found exactly what we were looking for at the Spring. A serene environment that worked wonders.

This is the most amazing place I've ever been to! I am so happy and grateful that my boyfriend has brought me here! It is a place I will always want to come back to! It is very nice that someone made this place work the way it works. I hope there are more places like this on the planet (where people don't have time to stop and enjoy!!! But I bet none of them would be quite like this one. Thank you! You are doing a great job. I think I speak for both of us when I say that we had a great time here!
Michaela & Oliver, Sept. 3

Thank you! The spa! The view, the treatments! What can I say about The Spring, the bed is like clouds, the service I feel like a roman goddess, All I can say is I'll be back many times! This places Rocks - Can't wait to bring my friends. What a natural luxury.

Perfect. I was looking for a hot spa similar to the ones I experienced in Japan and this most definitely fit the bill and more I loved the super hot rocks in the sauna and the complimentary tea and ice water drinks everywhere. Thanks!
Gene, West L.A., 1/4


Though my wife & I were a bit skeptical driving in, the sanctuary that we discovered was magical. The mineral water pools are rejuvenating, the spa treatments first rate, and the attention to detail was a welcome surprise.

You have done such a beautiful job of creating this space for a very healing retreat. Your décor is beautiful and I love the way you have decorated the rooms. The Zen of beauty in the middle of the desert! I plan to return. Thank you!
Karen, Orinda CA, 4/12

What a magical place! My wife and I decided to spend our 7th anniversary here in Palm Springs, I surprised her by bringing her to "The Spring". What a surprise for both of us. The massages were great! The atmosphere terrific! I couldn't ask for more. We will be back! Thank you!
Michael and Carole M., Corona, CA, 5/1-3/05

This is truly an oasis, a sanctuary, a healing retreat. It is the perfect getaway even for the solo traveler. The pools, especially the enclosed one, are so amazing. I feel rejuvenated after my first soak. The spa treatments are wonderful. The therapists are good at what they do plus delightful to talk with (Annica, Michele, Maureen). I decided on my first day here that I will make this a yearly ritual - to come here, soak, enjoy the spa, and reflect. The perfect place to really unwind and heal. The O.C. via Atlanta, GA. Thanks Charles - you were very nice, friendly, and accommodating and helpful.
Stephanie M., Aliso Viejo, CA, 5/5

Amazing! 2nd time here - definitely not the last.
Jon, Walnut Creek, CA, 5/05

My last day here. I wish I could stay longer. The grounds are beautiful.
The room inviting and tastefully decorated. Especially loved the bed. Can't say enough about the pools. I had a restful stay. Thank you for the hospitality and all the little touches that mean so much. I'll be back!
Yolanda from L.A., 6/8

What a fantastic way to celebrate our four year anniversary! Thank you Margot, Michele, and Dan for the amazing treatments! Thanks to the staff for all your hospitality and kindness. The hot springs are magical indeed! Thanks, we'll be back.

This is our second visit to The Spring and it's truly been wonderful. We really like how things are so personalized and secluded. We look forward to coming back real soon.
Ed and Meena, Moreno Valley, CA, 8/12/05

What can I say - there are no words to describe how this stay has made my husband and I feel. It has been a wonderful stay and we will be visiting in years to come.
Henry and Lisa Montoya, Whittier, CA, 8/13

We live locally, but The Spring feels like we're away in Bali! The moment we entered, it took my breath away! My husband and I very much enjoyed the day spa of dual facials and massages. What a gorgeous resort, pleasant and beautiful staff, and of course, the waters!!! Thank you so much for your hospitality. The Spring has become our home away from home.
Kim and Jose Rodriguez, 8/20

This is a great little hide away. We had such a wonderful and relaxing time. Thank you so much for making us feel "at home". We look forward to seeing you again soon!

A jewel in the crown of spas. Very tasteful accommodations and atmosphere to relax and literally soak in the desert quietude. Thank you. We will be back.
