Plus, it’s beautiful. Just google the photos.
I’ll be completely honest….I didn’t stay at The Springs Resort & Spa. It is my biggest regret. I have traveled a lot and seen many different resorts, but there is something special about the Springs Resort & Spa. It’s a feeling you have the entire time you are there, a feeling of relaxation, indulgence, and pure bliss.
Below I break it down for you. I did all the work and made all the mistakes, so you don’t have to. Here is the list of the top reasons you should stay at The Springs Resort & Spa Hotel.
It is the best hotel in Pagosa Springs:
As I mentioned, The Springs Resort & Spa is THE resort in Pagosa. As soon as you drive into town, you will see the resort and all of its hot springs. They have the most geothermal springs in the state of Colorado. A total of 24. Yes! You heard that right. 24. And let me tell you, you will not be able to get to all of them. You might want to, but you won’t. If you are like me, you will find one or two springs that you love and stay there.
Here is your ultimate guide to everything you need to know about the Springs Resort & Spa.
It’s Worth The Splurge
Yes, it’s worth the splurge. The biggest mistake I made was NOT staying at The Springs Resort & Spa. I was on a road trip, and I didn’t know when I would be arriving in Pagosa, so I didn’t want to book a hotel in advance. We booked another hotel because it was cheaper, available and with a view of a lake. However, once I got to The Springs Resort and Spa, I had an immediate sense of regret.
Before you look at the price tag and think it’s too expensive, let me do some quick math for you. The average hotel price in Pagosa Springs is roughly $150 (depending on the season).
The average Springs Resort & Spa rate with taxes for two people is roughly $300. The price includes your hotel room and access to the hot springs. If you travel during the week, you will get a bathrobe and towel. You will also have access to the adult-only relaxation terrace. (If you don’t have any kids, you will absolutely love this!) The price for the relaxation terrace package is $79 plus tax per person. That’s $158 before tax for two people just for the hot springs, which leaves roughly $142 that you are spending on your hotel room. What! All of a sudden, the price seems to make so much sense! You are paying roughly the same price as you would for another hotel.
Bath Robes & Towels
As a hotel guest, you automatically receive a bath towel and a bathrobe during your visit to the hot springs. This bone makes you feel luxurious, and it’s convenient for hotel guests.
Re-Entry
You can go back as many times as you like as a guest. Yes. Twenty-four hours a day and as many times as you would like. If you are a guest, then once you leave, you are put on a wait-list for re-entry.
All Day Access
As a hotel guest, you will have all-day access to the hot springs, including the adult-only springs. My favorite part of this is that I can enjoy the springs at night when there are fewer crowds.
Convenience
Staying at the hotel, you will be enjoying is convenient. When I travel, I want convenience. As I mentioned earlier, I didn’t stay at the hotel. Not staying at the hotel is inconvenient. Why? I had first to find parking, and it wasn’t easy. Then I had to make sure I took everything I thought I needed for the day. Whereas if I stayed at the hotel, I could walk back to my room. Convenience is gold.
It’s Close to Everything
The Resort & Spa is close to everything you will want to do. Across the San Juan River, you will find tons of restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques.
Food and Drinks
You are not allowed to take in your own food and drink. However, do they have a restaurant and a bar so you can open up a tab and get whatever you need.
Forgot Something? No Worries.
If you forgot sunscreen, a swimsuit, or your basic necessity, they have a store. It’s very convenient. They have whatever you will need for the day. Plus, it’s super cute.
COVID Standards at The Springs Resort & Spa
The resort is great about making sure that you are keeping your distance and that people feel comfortable. They have strict rules that you have to follow. One important note is that you are not allowed to use lockers. You have to carry everything with you. They have a limited amount of people that can go inside at any given time.
