Hot Springs' rustic spas, Palm Springs' Hip Hot Spots

Sunday, March 9, 2008
...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...

Post Weekly
by Valerie Christopher
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
Sarah Hoffman, 7/7
We were so lucky to have found you! This is the only spa I have
visited. I have no desire to go elsewhere. When in the area this
will be on the itinerary.
Judy Hoffman, Phila. PA 7-7
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.
Judy Hoffman, 7-14
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.
The Wallisirs, July 2004
Thank you! We brought our sister here as her last outing with
the girls! She is getting married in a week. Thank you for a
very special time.
Ajnero, 8-7
I am the sister. I am back with my husband on our honeymoon.
I choose this place because I can feel the romance in the air.
I love it here! We'll be back very soon!
Evelyn Alanso, 7-14
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.
Morrow, Sept 2004
It is all "first class". Maria has created a special
nest in the desert. Now we have a reason to visit "Desert
Hot Springs." Jennifer Rocks! All the best!
Susan & Michael Roser, Sept 2004

I want to say "Thank You!" very much for the wonderful
experience. I was a little afraid to come on my own, however,
I'm glad I did. I have had a very enlightening experience,
enjoyed the spa treatments, pools and the total relaxation atmosphere.
I will definitely come again and I'd like for my daughter
to experience this as well.

I spiritually close to one another. This was a great experience
and made our anniversary that much more special. Thank you.

The Spring is Desert Hot Springs best kept secret. My husband
and I plan on returning many, many more times. It was one of
the most relaxing trips we've ever taken together and we've
been together for 10 years!) And what an amazing staff of people.
Everyone is so kind and nurturing. We just love it here!! Thanks
for making our little weekend get away so enjoyable and spiritually
healing.

you for offering this unique and restorative place.

Absolutely stunning. The thoughtfulness and care is very apparent.
I feel refreshed. I felt like I was ages away from home and the
hustle and bustle. Thank you!
Linda G., Santa Monica, CA 1/2
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.

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.
Ray and Lorelei, 6/25
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!
Amie and Brian, 9/3
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.
