General admission includes one small hot shallow pool, sauna, and relaxation room. The pool and sauna quickly became overcrowded. When we tried to leave the women's locker room was full so I waited about 30 minutes for it to clear so I could shower and get to my locker. The setting is beautiful but the spa experience was lacking. I would not bring my children. Two women went topless even though swim suits were supposed to be required. Staff did nothing to stop them.
Absolutely unbeatable price for the day spa. Amenities are provided within the single price and they do not nickle-and-dime for services most other day spas would most like charge for. Great atmosphere and service. All the pools are amazing.
Brilliant. Perfect. The baths and massage created a deep relaxation that continued into the next morning. The restaurant's food was loved by both me, who hadn't ever had Japanese food, and my husband, who lived in Japan. The server refilled my water before I even knew the glass was empty. It was a perfect second honeymoon. Perfect in every way.
This place is amazing and something everyone should experience at least once. The grounds and staff lend themselves to ultimate relaxation and healing. The pools and spa treatments are phenomenal and the restaurant is fantastic! Santa Fe is barely 10 minutes away if you care to venture into town.
Parking could have been an issue if we came later in the evening however we found parking at the top by the spa entrance. Massage and private spa was very relaxing. Will definitely come back again. Overall this was a great experience.
This was on my to do list for myself and I finally did it this weekend. If I could rate the massage only I would rate 5 because Mark was wonderful. Everything else was poor from checkin to check out and all in between. Facility was not warm, relaxing and comfortable. I will not be retiring.
Absolutely spectacular. You get what you pay for. My wife and I rented a private tub and each had massages followed by dinner at their excellent restaurant. I highly recomend this place.
Had a wonderful time staying at Ten Thousand Waves during our Honeymoon! The Blue Moon accommodations were very comfortable and clean. The food, service, and spirits at Izanami restaurant were exceptional. We did not have time to utilize the spa services, however we will definitely return in the future. Overall, I would highly recommend staying at Ten Thousand Waves for anyone visiting Santa Fe, and looking for a romantic and peaceful getaway.
FANTASTIC! Relaxing! Exceedingly clean & beautiful lodging & dog friendly! Much needed weekend escape. Walking through the GORGEOUS surroundings to the spa in our luxurious spa robes. The restaurant is SO impressive, a delight!
Amazing.
I never write a review; but, this was a most amazing and exceptional stay - HIGHLY recommend!
We have been talking about when we can return ever since leaving! :)
My significant other and I had an incredible day at Ten Thousand Waves. We chose the Lunch Special and I couldn't imagine anything more perfect for us. We arrived 30 minutes early and I'm so glad we did. We got to shower and relax until our private hot tub was available. It was perfect. It had a hot rocks sauna room, a relax room, and the outdoor tub with a beautiful view of the forest. Then we got to shower before our 80 minute massages, which they were able to do in one room for us. It was the best massage both of us have ever had. Absolutely incredible. Then we showered and dressed for lunch at their wonderful restaurant. Easily the best food we had our whole trip to Santa Fe, with an amazing view of the mountains (sit outside!). I was not a fan of our server, but maybe he was just having a bad day. All in all, it was worth every penny. I can't wait to return!
Epic, remodel is lavish. I miss the wooden communal, and the clothing optional, but the new tub and sauna are great. Always impressed. Top notch spa.
Great natural environment with an authentic Japanese spa feel. Houses of the Moon are incredible, relaxing habitations. Be prepared for possible loud conversations and slight murky water in the grand pool, cooler water in the foot baths, but the cold pool is kept cold, which was great! For the price, it's a pretty good value. Izanami is a great, tasty way to finish off your spa visit.
Ten Thousand Waves is a special place. The judging is elegant and private and beautiful, with every need anticipated. The spa is exceptional. Only criticism is that they changed the policy and in any public setting you must cover your bottom and I didn't know that and went unprepared. And the restaurant is great and deliciously prepared food is the norm. All around great place worth the cost for a special occasion.
Never had anything but the best of the best massages and spa treatments. We live to rent a pool/hot tub. With the remodel, these are very nice private hot pools with a perhaps an invigorating cool plunge pool and a sauna. Pretty views looking at the mountain side and if it's dark, fantastic night sky. Parking is a mess. Best to park below and hike up to the spa. Please ignore the phone team, their attitudes do not reflect the excellent service of the rest of the staff.
This place is the ultimate escape if you want to feel like you're in a completely different country. They nailed the Zen architecture and the design of the facility is on a mountainside so each bungalow is 100% private yet open to the surrounding nature. You can be completely naked and nobody can see inside your outdoor suite. Their massages are probably the best in Santa Fe. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a long romantic weekend getaway.
