5 star rating Peace on the River No alcohol, no kids, strict dog rules make this hot springs on the river a true slice of serenity. Immaculate accomodations, beautiful open air commons area, interesting outdoor art work, beautiful flowering trees and plants. Right by a park and a dog park. Can't wait to go back! - Rhonda W - 7/06/2025

5 star rating most relaxing stay ever! Riverbend is relaxing, quiet, clean, comfortable, and easy to find. I visited with my wife. Our artistry room had just enough space for our weekend stay. Even though we stayed on a Saturday and Sunday night, the hot springs pools were not so crowded that we felt a need to book a private one. We can hardly wait to return! - txfamilyguy - 6/25/2025

5 star rating Absolutely fantastic This place is amazing! After being refused at another facility due to my service dog, they accepted us with no reservations with no problems! We will definitely be going back - Glasshartt - 6/04/2025

5 star rating Lovely restorative place If at all possible, go when the river is full. Sitting on that patio looking at the swift-flowing river go by, listening to red-winged blackbirds call and the sounds of water from the numerous fountains, and gazing at clusters of new grapes from the grapevines all over the patio overlooking the river is as restorative as the hot mineral soaks themselves. This year there’s only a tiny season when the river is full due to drought: May 30 to about July 7. Riverbend is totally worth it even when the river is low, however. - MAmada - 6/01/2025

4 star rating Extremely poor customer service I was taking a friend for her first time to the Hot Mineral Springs. We depart El Paso 4 hours early, hoping to stop at Hatch. The weather was very cloudy and some rain. Suddenly our HWY traffic came to a complete stop. We got an Emergency Alert on our phones. Urging every one to exit Hwy and take alternative routes. We now had to head to the border Fwy. Good choice. Upon arriving to Las Cruse the traffic bottleneck and sending us into the town. We still had an hour prior our scheduled time. Out of courtesy I called to inform them we were on our way. The man who returned my voice mail called extremely rude. Telling me I should have left earlier. They made no exceptions. No refunds. No excuse. I was so stress driving and trying to explain why we were running late. Finally he kept asking me for my confirmation nbr.. I asked please use my name to fine me. He did reluctantly. Then he said he was bumping us one hour later. He said, write down this confirmation nbr.. I said, I’m driving and I just missed my exit and have to make a U-turn. Oh, his words and tone towards me, stressed me out. We arrive on our scheduled time, but since he had bumped us one hour, now we had to wait. We enjoyed our one hour stay. Lucky for him I didn’t mention his name on this review. - Margarita J - 6/01/2025

5 star rating A fun hot springs experience. My wife and I had a wonderful time at Riverbend hot springs. The resort had the perfect blend of fancy and laid back. We loved watching the birds and bats over the river while relaxing in the various tubs. T or C was also fun to explorer since you can’t soak all the time. - Dan R - 5/07/2025

This was a first visit to the Riverbend Hot Springs, and already I would like to visit again soon. It is just under 2 hours away from Albuquerque, so feels far enough to be a nice getaway, but close enough that it is very accessible.The facility is as pretty as the photos in marketing I've seen, as captured in my photo here. The facility is very clean and the grounds and landscaping are maintained perfectly. My room was one of the suites, and I was very pleasantly surprised with all of the amenities. I felt like I could have easily stayed for more days and had the things I needed (washer/dryer, plates, cups, silverware, microwave, fridge).I liked the RFID wrist band that gives you access to the different gates, which frees you up from worrying about a key card.The view is lovely towards the river and the mountain. I hope to come back in a cooler season and enjoy the dry sauna before doing a plunge in the pools. - Aaron Cloud - 6/28/2025

5 star rating This place is amazing! I recently took a friend for their first time for a private riverfront soak. She was blown away! They have everything set up for your soaking pleasure while easily following the rules. A rented robe & towel. Bottled water. The most spectacular views! Aaaahhhhh! - Georgia C. - 8/10/2022

5 star rating I cannot tell you how cool this place was. They really have something special here. The ambiance is perfect and makes you feel so peaceful. The common "pools" are enough for 5 people comfortably. The bigger pool is big enough for twice that many. There's plenty of comfortable seating. They have lounge chairs tables and chairs, hammocks, hanging egg chairs, papasans and couches. There's even some lounge seats for your pets. There's a nice sauna too. The views during the day are lovely with the mountain backdrop but at night its just magical. This place is sitiatef on the bank of the Rio Grande. The water on this day was almost clear and we could see a bunch of bass. There's ambient music in the background and for the most part people were respectful and kept the noise to a minimum.
We also reserved a 50 min private soak in the Tierra pool and it was great having that time in private. It overlooks the river and has curtains for privacy. Let me tell you that I was grateful for the misters and overhead shower. The water was at least 105° and you could def feel it. Side. Ite: take a hat and be orepared, the eater is def hot. You might stand it for 20 mins before you get out to cool off.
No food or drinks allowed in the pool areas. But I did see people with beer cans and canteens of water. The fauna all throughout the property and beautiful. We will def be back again. It's a real special place. - jessie a. - 7/04/2022

5 star rating It's been so long since I've felt positive energy and peace that can come from a quiet place along a beautiful river looking out over stunning scenery, and all of that comes with multiple hot tubs and a carefully designed environment to enjoy them at your pleasure. I would highly recommend regardless of how busy your schedule might be or maybe because of how scheduled you are you should go here for at least an hour - Bob S. - 6/09/2022

5 star rating A sublime confluence of the wonders of nature and ingenuity of man. The Riverbend facilities are designed with fastidious attention to detail.

Pay close attention and you will recognize the intentionality behind every design element: the soothing music, the beautiful art, the flowing spatial arrangement of soaking pools and lounge chairs, the breathtaking evening light show. When combined with the solemnity of the Rio Grande and the dignified grandeur of the mountains of southwest New Mexico, these elements form a place of mental repose and contemplation unlike any other.

Stay the night; experience the waters; feel the current of the ancient river; reset and relax. - M R. - 4/06/2022

5 star rating There is a million great things I can say about this place. From the atmosphere to the seclusion, this place was magical. I came solo and had a great experience.

The place is fairly easily to find to be in the middle of no where in my opinion, but it was the getaway I needed. It is located two hours from both the El Paso airport and Albuquerque airport (I flew into Albuquerque).

They have a contactless check in with your last name on an envelope outside of the office; however, there is someone in the office for any questions that you may have. I stayed in a budget friendly room and it was a decent size and clean. The only sad thing was I wish there was a fridge or microwave.

When you stay the night, you are able to soak in the common pools free of charge. Common pools are a first come first served basis with one party per pool. They also have private soaks that you can reserve for 50 minutes. Private soaks are clothing optional. They have robes that you can buy also. The views of this place is spectacular. So many people have asked me how did I find this place. I googled the best hot springs in the west and when I saw pictures of this place, I knew I just had to go.

Best of New Mexico @ Riverbend... The wife and I have been here many times and have loved each and every visit. We generally book our next stay when checking out from our current visit. A handful of changes over the years have not diminished the Riverbend Experience in any way. Peaceful and relaxing grounds with flowing fountains, potted plants everywhere, and the riverside ambience just pull everything together perfectly. The common outdoor kitchen area is a big draw as well (though the COVID-19 situation has closed it down temporarily) and morning coffee, and cold water available all day long are great too. The staff have always been most attentive to our needs and always courteous almost to a fault. The only downside? As Riverbend becomes more well known and popular, it is getting more difficult to make reservations without them being a ways out. Our current (June, '21) next scheduled visit is for September; so 3-plus months out! There are also plenty of neat local activities available in and around the quaint town of Truth or Consequences. Walks along the river are a nice activity. Or visit the local Geronimo Springs Museum for some interesting area history. Or take a drive out to the nearby SpacePort America; the first purpose-built spaceport in the USA (there entry fees are a bit steep though). By the way, weather here is pretty reasonable all year around, so there really is no bad time to visit. (It does get pretty warm in the peak summer months though.) - 6/11/2021

Mrs My best friend and I went for a short girls day away from our husbands and children. It was tranquil and refreshing. It was my first trip there. My girl friend had been telling me about it- I was not disappointed. I'm already planning to return with my husband for our anniversary. - 1/17/2020
