Unfortunate for Ojo Caliente. Whereas many of the past guests rated it poorly (the current rating…read moreof this place is only 3.5 stars as of April 2026), I, fortunately, had a wonderful experience at this one of the oldest health spas in the country. From the stretch (yoga class before soaking) to soaking in 8 different pools to dining at the resort restaurant to shopping in the gift shop, everything exceeded my expectations where the only proper thing to do is to give it a perfect 5-star review. I bought the "soak and stretch" combo thing with 90-minute yoga class in a yurt. I paid the weekend pricing ($85) as I went here on a Sunday but it was all worth it as it turned out, I was the ONLY student in the class so I had an intimate 1-on-1 session with Julie, my instructor who made the class level so easy for me. It was also my first time to attend a yoga class in a yurt, certainly one-of-a-kind opportunity that I had never experienced in the past. A few pools were closed (one of them was the arsenic one), having access to 8 pools was plenty. My favorites were Soda pool (inclosed/covered) and Mud pool but frankly all pools have their own unique "healing" elements to them whereby immersing your whole body in them patiently, you will become a whole new person inside out. The locker rooms/showers/toilets etc. (in short, amenities) were all well-maintained and clean. The beach chairs were plenty throughout the resort. When not soaking, relax in one of them by simply sunbathing or do some reading. The surrounding environment is also a healing element to your eyes and mind. After soaking, head to the restaurant/wine bar for a nice meal (which I did. After yoga stretching and soaking in different pools, I sure was famished). My waiter, Jacob, was most polite and attentive to my needs. The Grilled Ruby Trout with a bed of wild rice is what I ordered and I cannot recommend it enough. This is a must-get item off the menu. A glass of Justin (red) wine ended up being a fantastic choice to accompany my meal. After my quick meal, I headed to the gift shop for a little souvenir. I got me one of the branded crop top tees (only $22 or so) to commemorate my visit to the resort for the first time (I had waited for almost 10 years before I could finally visit Ojo; it was simply way too long of a wait.) The final little thing I did was to walk around the property to take some awesome photos of the surrounding nature. Ojo's setting is simply breathtaking and spectacular. My trip to Taos area was too short. Had I had one more day, I would have done an all-day soaking, not just several hours. That is my only regret. Back in the hustle bustle life in Denver, I am already in need for another good soaking. I could go back to Ojo by tomorrow.

I was excited to bring my daughter for her birthday. We try to come at least once a year. I woke…read moreup feeling grateful and blessed. Many years ago when I worked at City Hall, I would donate a portion of every paycheck to United Way. As a thanks, Ojo Caliente gifted us a visit for two during the week. Last year I brought my little card to see if I could still use it. The girl at the front desk asked the person in the room behind. she came out and assured me that since Covid had thrown wrench into everything that they would definitely accept my gift card on my next visit. we laughed at how old it was, but it didn't have an expiration date. My daughter's birthday was on Saturday. It was Mother's Day weekend so we decided to come on Monday. I presented my card to the front desk, girl she took it to the lady in the room behind her. The lady in the room behind her, went to the other side where people check into their rooms. She proceeded to come back and tell me that it was expired. I tried to plead to her good nature, telling her how we had been assured last year that we would be able to use it. Then I asked for card back and she didn't want to give it back. my daughter had to intervene and tell her that it wasn't theirs. I felt like I was a young adult presenting a fake ID and having my ID confiscated.. we paid for our day passes and tried to reset our minds to have the great day we had planned. i know that running a business is expensive and would have made food/gift shop purchases equal to the cost of our day passes in appreciation. Being kind will not break your business As another customer said...do better Ojo- tranqilo

I just experienced my first massage by David Bigden, and it was unlike any massage I've ever had --…read moreI can't wait for my next appointment! David is a former chiropractor and has a thorough knowledge of the human body, and it's clearly his passion and his life's work. This was no typical massage -- he spent a lot of time before the massage asking questions about where I've experienced pain or stress, and told me that he typically massages deep, and that for some people, it can be painful, so it was up to me to let him know if at any time it was too much for me. I like his style -- he's not woo-woo, he's just direct and honest, and he really listened to me. Then the massage began -- not the typical broad, gentle sweeps, nope, he got right into the muscles, the lumps, the trigger points. I was amazed at how fast he found places I didn't even know were tensed-up. There were maybe 3 times when the pressure seemed more than I could take, but all I had to do was say so, and he'd ease up, but he didn't back-off of that place, he continued to work it through. In this session, I quickly trusted him to listen to me, and trusted his experience to know how much work each spot really needed. I felt safe with him the whole time, and we talked about lots of things, mostly the work he was doing and why, which helped me learn more about my body. He never gave unsolicited advice, he was just really helpful and so easy to be around. I had expected the massage would cost around $100, but it was considerably less than that, which was the icing on the cake! I'll be back every two weeks from now on -- although David said that after a while, I probably won't NEED a massage every two weeks! I highly, highly recommend, if you're looking for real work to be done on your body by a knowledgeable professional, and an undeniable sense of relaxation and improved health.
