Rustic? That's a stretch... but I loved it anyway…read more Had a great time at Dakota Hot Springs, but when they say "rustic," that might be giving it a little too much credit. Think more "DIY charm with deferred maintenance." Only one of the two showers in the men's bathroom worked, and the outdoor shower looked like it had retired early. The shade cloth overhead was thin, ripped, and flapping in the wind like it was waving a white flag. That said, the water itself? Perfect. The big pool stayed at a great temp, and if you wander into the "lobster pot," prepare to boil yourself like you're on the menu--it's hot hot. Lots of room to spread out and catch sun, which was a big plus. Now, the real warning: dusk. When the sun dips, the mosquitoes come out like they've been fasting for weeks. I heard it's thanks to the stagnant dump water nearby, and they make sure you know they're there. Pro tip: bring bug spray or plan your exit before happy hour for the skeeters. All in all--quirks, flapping tarps, and dive-bombing mosquitoes included--I'll definitely be back. Just don't come expecting "spa chic." This is a hot springs with character (and a sense of humor).

Such a fun little spot close to the Sand dunes and such a gem in the valley for locals and tourists…read morealike. This spot has plenty of parking, camping and lots to offer. The pool/hot springs are split into 2 primary areas. One big area that is meant for all with a kids pool, large hot springs pool with diving boards for all to have fun, a snack bar with lots of goodies (but you can bring your own food in too if you want, which is great for families on a budget), a grassy picnic area, basketball court, and a small toddler friendly slide area as well. You can also rent cabanas. The other area is for 21+ in the greenhouse. It's fully separated from the family area and is an adult atmosphere. There is a bar, snack bar with a limited menu, dense lush greenery, and numerous hot pools of varying temps. There is also a sauna for sweating it out. We spend a lot of time here relaxing and enjoying the pool and cocktails. This is a great place to spend the day or evening. This is not a high end spa but a mid-tier budget friendly option that is well worth it. My only criticism is that the locker rooms could use some updating, but I'll still take it!

A great swimming pool and spa-like area for adults too. I really enjoyed this place! The water was…read morewarm! The environment was fun and relaxing. A variety of different pools and activities are available. There are also two restaurants with yummy food options. I appreciated the tranquil greenhouse for adults only. I hope I can visit again soon. This is a really unique and special place!!!!

No one cares who is on the slides or how many kids are at the bottom. Diving board? Sure, jump off it while kids are swimming in the deep end. There were lifeguards there if things got truly bad, but the hands-off approach allowed a good amount of appropriate youthful riskiness. And the heat of the water ensures you will all be relaxed and mellow by the end of it all. It's more expensive than a typical city pool, but it's nicely heated by the hot springs.

This is a hot springs public pool that's really great for children and families. Affordable prices,…read morethree slides, two diving boards. It's close to town and easy to get to. You can bring in snacks, but there's also a snack bar available. I only gave three stars because the lifeguard situation is not what it should be. There is at least 60 people in the pool, with all slides and diving boards open.. and there is only one lifeguard out who is sitting in a deck chair only half paying attention to anything. There's so many little kids, that there's lots of parents close by to keep an eye on their kids and those around them.. but the slides are a little dang mess. There are kids jumping in on top of each other because they aren't clearing underneath. This is such a great spot, I wish they would just beef up that aspect and it would be perfect.

Understaffed and rude "manager." When I came in to see about becoming a member, the one guy on duty…read morehad me wait for 20 min. Then a female, who had been helping one single member for 20 min, said she'd help me. When I pointed out that getting new customers should take precedence over chatting with current clientele, the female, who said she's "manager" Monica Parnell- instead of apologizing- said she didn't want my business. She said she decides who gets to be a member and I wasn't welcome. Besides being a bitch to a complete stranger, that's just stupid for business. An apology for keeping me waiting would have likely made a sale. So I don't recommend this understaffed place with the rude manager. A gym that can't even take time to welcome potential new members is probably short staffed on other areas, like cleanliness. Hard pass

I've been a long time Y member at several branches over the years and a longtime swimmer. While I…read morethink the overall gym is nice, big and mostly clean I sadly do have some issues with the pool. I've shared it with them in an email, but I'm not sure I ever got a response. It's very difficult to actually get into the pool as an adult swimmer who just wants to swim some laps. I've been told it's due to staffing issues. They can't completely watch the entire big pool so if the pirate ship is open, then the lap lanes aren't open, which is super frustrating. Lap lanes should always be available for use any time any day since not everyone wants do a spin class or run on a treadmill. They've failed the adult swim community and 4 others agreed with me this morning as we sat in the luke warm steam room after we were kicked out of the pool for the 8:45a safety break. Just 45 minutes after opening swimmers are forced to stop their workouts. Not cool. They need to really address this downfall since $70/mo for one person isn't chump change.

The consumer.... don't waste your money unless you like throwing money away.
