So peaceful and relaxing. Everything was great and it felt clean and safe amid the pandemic. Contact with staff was only by text but they were very responsive to all questions. Found out about this place from my neighbors and was not disappointed. We will be back. read less - Laurecia D - 11/06/2020

When planning our trip many months ago T or C wasn’t even a stopping point. I stumbled upon the Sierra Co. tourism site and read about the number of hot springs. I initially booked one night and was so excited that I booked a second night. I booked two private pool slots as well. Each time on the phone the customer service delivered was warm, welcoming and informative.
Contactless check-in was a breeze. We had received numerous updates confirming our reservation, reconfirming when the final deposit was due and on the day before and of check in to give further details.
What a beautiful, well maintained property, perfectly serene, great for tuning out the chaos of the real world as you soak in your choice of pools varying in temperatures with views of the Rio Grande. I loved the relaxing music playing throughout, wished it were a bit louder in the private pools. All respectful guests were masked up where required and following the whisper zone rules. I believe the property was completely booked during our stay, however, the common pool areas were never crowded at all. A max of 7 people at one time is what we saw, other times less. We always found an available common pool, seating areas hardly occupied and just a few others waiting for private pool soak reservation times. Our private soaks in the Apache and Navajo pools were so cool! One at sunset and the other just at twilight. We got to watch the last bit of daylight exiting the sky and then Mars and the stars lit up the sky.
Our clean courtyard room was perfectly adequate for all one needed for a stay. Thumbs up for the great lighting in every room including the bathroom. The bed was a bit lumpy and not very comfortable. The shower took a bit of time to get the temperature right and the spray did wet the floor. These were the only negatives, so minor compared to everything else wonderful about the property.
RBHS is truly the gem of T or C! I would come back just to soak for days! read less - kribbean - 10/28/2020

In numerous stone pools, some private some not, with water temps ranging from high 90's to 105, the soothing water chocked full of minerals can't be beat. There's plenty of room for everyone from kids to seniors, from all body types. The facility has day rates and overnight rates. It's ez enough to drive in, pop on a bathing suit, grab a towel, headphones, books, nothing and without any personal encounter pay your fee be it for the day or 24+ hours. Then it's out through the privacy doors and into a wonderland of soft music, all manner of chairs and tables and chez lounges with the tubs below. With the current pandemic there's no hospitality---food or drink sales; and the service attendants are few and far between. Nevertheless an inspiring and enchanting facility. There is a Super Walmart plus several B-restaurants in T+C. Overnight accommodations aren't quite as special There's a dozen or so rooms mainly in refurbished double wides around the campus. The rooms are pleasant enought with hard wood floors, ceiling fans, in ours a full kitchen, small shower (a la cruise ships) in the bathroom. The bed IS COMFORTABLE but the pillows are special.

There's some work to be done here for attenton to details: spider webs up above, some minor wood work, paint, more utensils in the kitchen, better airconditioning (heating). By and large very accomodating but nothing special. Parking is right outside the rooms. Many have a small balcony with tables and chairs. There's no smoking on the grounds, but management has placed a table and chairs out by the street.

For the spectacular view, absolutely excellent hot springs and accompanying decor this is a highly recommended stop and not exorbitantly priced. For overnights definitely call for a reservation. Even with all the Pandemic protocols carefully observed....it's very enjoyable More read less - baird t - 10/28/2020

Everything was so perfectly placed, cozy room, comfy bed and all the twinkling lights and colors by the hot spring tubs were so romantic. Just can’t say enough, we will make this a stop for us as we travel north each summer and back south in the fall. The owner should be so proud of their staff, they do a awesome job read less - BoardingPass149807 - 10/28/2020

The resort place is simply amazing. It is obvious a lot of design and money went into creating it. Cozy and comfortable yet still a high-end, cosmopolitan feel. If we ever return to the area, we are staying here again. read less - deborahbN5097VW - 10/26/2020

My fiancé and I went for his b day and when we first arrived At the tub we reserved we were not to happy because the tub was just used and we wanted a fresher tub. The spa attendant ( Christina ) didn’t even think twice she was super accommodating and got us another tub. It was beautiful and relaxing I wanted to personally tip the nice lady but they said to just leave a review. Defiantly going back thank you for being open during such a rough time. read less - Ashley Noriga - 10/24/2020

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

I have been to several hotsprings in New mexico and by far this is my favorite. Very clean, relaxing, comfortable rooms, and fantastic amenities. Tasty and affordable food service. The community pools are full of room to relax in and out of the pools. You can also reserve private pools, all pools are right on the river. You can tell the owner has put a lot of time and pride in this facility. All the details of lights, plants, seating space, shading, and services are wonderful. Even the grapes were ripening in the courtyard while we were there! Thank you and we will be back. read less - Denise K. - 7/12/2020

This time we did the public. 8 different pools in different temperatures and loved it every minute. The big pool has swinging chair hammocks.
