After all the hype about this spa, we were expecting this to be a special experience. Instead, we found a kind of fake Japanese wannabe Zen experience. The staff was appropriately superior and snobbish, and the prices for services were outrageous. Even the prices for the tiny snacks in the lobby were exorbitant- a rip-off. so we thought, at least...

I hadn't been back here since 1986, and though much has changed, the best things about this place have not changed at all. The new accommodations are incredibly peaceful, beautiful, modern and efficient. The spa is wonderful and we spoiled ourselves for a whole day and were so fabulously relaxed and happy afterwards. Best facial EVER times 10! Masters massage... More

This is a great romantic get away from it all with great views, surrounded by nature, nice to hike nearby and have the private baths practically at your doorstep. That part was wonderful! Great to exit your room wearing your kimonos and walk to the spa! The massage was mediocre- I guess i expected better considering the facility. I would... More

Even after all the reviews I read my experience wasn't at all what I was anticipating. If you like to be pampered this is not the place. The staff was perfectly nice and my master massage was very different but beneficial. However, I felt like I was in a glorified camp with hot tubs. I'm not sure what the draw... More

While listening to two women rave about this spa in the mountains outside of Santa Fe, I thought they just do not know how many hot springs are available in New Mexico. I called and was told the day rate for using the pool. Parking is easy but the Japanese wooden stairs seem like a long climb. If you are... More

It's such a shame some of the previous reviewers had stressful experiences, ours was absolutely just the opposite. Complete relaxation. The rooms were very clean and Japanese stylish with the assorted snacks of fruit and granola as stated. The robes are a nice touch and you also have an outer one to use while walking to the spa/pool. It's nice... More

My husband and I took a short trip to Santa Fe with a focus on experiencing the Spa area of this place. They messed up our reservations two nights in a row for a private spa. After giving us the wrong time on night one, they offered us reservations for the next night. We changed all our plans to be... More

I had an amazing experience Ten Thousand Waves. It was my first time and won't be my last. The facilities, top notch. Great location away from the city. Spa: Well managed and staffed, there was always a polite attendant near. I tried two treatments while I was here, the 50 minute massage and the salt scrub. The massage was exceptional.... More

Have stayed here probably 6 times. I've loved all of the rooms. I love the minimalism, the grounds and the spa. Not a full serve hotel- but has kitchenettes so can make food in the room. I love the zen and out of the wayness. Just a short drive down to town. A must stay.
