5 star rating We loved Riverbend Hot Springs! Really lovely hot springs set right on the river. We were there on a rare rainy day. Lucky for us a good deal of the spa area has a roof over it. It was beautiful to watch the river rise. We saw herons and egrets that day. It's a very nice and clean place with friendly staff. Highly recommended. - Patricia M - 10/09/2026

5 star rating I was lucky enough to book a private pool at Riverbend Hot Springs for my husband and myself. Our booking was for 2pm on Wednesday and frankly it was a great time. Not too crowded. You step into your private pool that overlooks the Rio Grand River. You can see out and no one can really see you. If you are worried about privacy there are curtains to draw but we left them open to enjoy the scenery.

The water was about 102-105 -perfect. The best part is that there is a cold shower that is above the pool and if you get too warm you can stand under it, pull the string and be showered with refreshingly cold water.

We loved it so much that when our hour was up we asked to join the public pool for an hour. For a minimal charge we spent another hour trying the five other pools at Riverbend Hot Springs.

We loved it so much we can’t wait to go back. - MaryLou C - 10/01/2026

5 star rating We love Riverbend, found out about them from inlaws and just finished our 4th stay. Every time we go it seems to get a little nicer. The rooms are compact and basic but clean. comfortable and well maintained. And it is so great to walk to your room and go to bed after an evening soak or to start your day with an early morning one. The shared pools are lovely and people are generally very friendly and polite. They have quiet rules and they seem to be well observed. The private pools are even nicer, with the same lovely view of the river and the option of pulling the curtains, although I've never seen anyone on the other side of the river anyway. One visit they were quite booked up and we ended up staying in one of their RVs just across the street and it was also comfy and fun. The best rooms are the low numbered ones (1-3?) that are right on their lovely garden/patio area. There are several nice dining options not far away, from quiche to pizza to an excellent steakhouse. - Scott D - 9/01/2026

4 star rating Lovely location, the RV park is quite basic by the side of the road and no facilities in the night but the hot springs are wonderful. Make sure that you go once it gets dark as it is all lit up, beautiful. - manfc - 8/01/2026

Affordable options to have a place to sleep and relax in the hot springs right by the river. There are 6 communal tub/pools and then more you can reserve privately. The office is open quite early to late (8-10pm I believe) so there is someone to help if you need anything. Strict quiet policies. - Sarina White - 10/14/2026

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
