"Hottest springs in town I believe. Also artesian so no pumps like other places. I used to love coming here with my dad."

"I’ve just returned from my second visit to La Paloma and I’m already planning my third. Their pools range from 96° all the way up to 110°. So there are lots of choices all dependent on your preference. The soaking rooms are small and very private so there’s no need for a bathing suit. They also have a massage table in them so you can cool off for a bit and then go back into the lovely tub. I love..."

"We have been twice (once 2017 winter and once 2018 spring). Both stays have been amazing. The hot springs are really relaxing and private. As a guest, you have access 24 to 5 private springs. These are also springs, not tubs with hot spring water pumped into them. The overall ambiance of the bathhouse and hot springs was very relaxing, and it was good for meditation. The rooms, although small, are efficient, clean, and comfortable. The staff are all very..."

"Have been here a handful of times. Always great… But as others have said recently, “is this place even open?” We actually stopped by and the gate was closed and everything looked derelict. Phone number doesn’t offer anything other than silence. Losing faith in this place"

"I have been coming to La Paloma for years... it is the best property in town in my opinion for a low key resort style stay. It has been unavailable for a while and I hope that eventually it will be back up and running in the future... after reading the disappointments it is clear to me that a private issue is at hand... my best to the staff at La Paloma."

"I would move to New Mexico just to be closer to this place. I wish I could bottle the feeling I had driving in at night with the desert breeze and smells. The staff are super nice, place is very clean, water is minimally treated with chemicals. Office also has all kinds of lovely healthy snacks and lotions and things for sale. Our room was basic but cute and comfy. We sat under the stars after soaking and it was..."

"I love this place. My partner and I make a habit of visiting one or twice a year. The fire pits and hammocks are the best. The staff is friendly and the rooms are great. The beds are comfortable. The outdoor spa is nice and rather small and doesn't feel as enchanting but very clean and quiet."
