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.

We stayed in the budget friendly room and had two appointments for a private soak.

The place was easy to find, and their check in and check out process was super easy. Their check in process with COVID was contactless by leaving an envelope by the front office that had our RFID bracelets and a map of our room. They also had a speaker that we could talk to them through if we had any issues. The room was very clean and had everything we needed. If there was anything that wasn't in the room, you could either call or text a phone number.

We had a private soak in the Apache room which was amazing! It has an infinity pool and it was great! The temperature was just perfect and the view was great.

The only thing that was an issue for me was the room being too hot or too cold for us. I couldn't find just the right temperature for us but that could have been an issue personally. There were three heaters in the room: one in the kitchen, two near the beds.

I definitely would stay here again if I'm in the area! read less - Vanessa T. - 12/14/2020

Find a hotel with hot springs in New Mexico.

Almost hesitant to review this gem because the availability was so limited, but loved this little slice of peace and tranquillity.

So lucky to book the last available room for a last minute reservation. Although communication, checkin and checkout were contactless, it was very easy and informative. Sent a COVID screening survey and info on the property prior to checkin. Welcome text message sent as well.

Picked up a packet outside the office that included the WiFi password, hotel information and our bands that opened our room and allowed us unlimited entry to eight "public" thermal pools for the duration of our stay. Room was basic, but perfect for an overnight stay.

The real reason to stay here?

Eight hot springs pools along the Rio Grande. So peaceful. Zen-like. Relaxing. Beautiful river views.

Each pool is at a different temp. Limited to one family per pool. Masks and social distancing required. Private pools are also available for an extra hourly fee, but we had no issue getting a pool in the evening or the early morning. The largest pool even had a couple of comfy hammocks and was long enough to swim a few short laps in the early morning. So beautiful to see the sky filled with stars at night. Lucky to see Saturn and Jupiter so clearly.

Not fortunate enough to book a room? Limited public access passes are also available.

Nice for an overnight stay in Truth or Consequences. read less - Helene S. - 12/13/2020

Pools are social distanced/limited #s. We did private soak, in addition to our hotel stay. Miss the little niceties like morning coffee, water bottle stations, contact with employees. Can't wait to return! read less - Mia M. - 10/29/2020

Truly a world class oasis in the desert. Everything is either new or very well maintained. Next time we will plan ahead and get inside the perimeter cabins but being outside didn't take away our enjoyment. read less - Paco P. - 10/26/2020

Riverbend offers shared and private pools. Starting at $40, private pools are a steal. Although 50 minutes might not seem like a long time for your stay, it's more than enough. When the water gets too hot, the overhead shower allows you to cool off. The beautiful views and relaxing pool waters make for a truly recharging experience. They also have chairs that allow you to sit down and gaze at the view. Totally worth checking out. read less - Michael A. - 8/12/2020
