Riverbend is a very well run hot springs in Truth or Consequences. Speaking from someone who booked a time for soaking in hot springs (and not necessary hotel), everything is pretty structured. You book your appointment in advance, show up at your time (not earlier/not so much later) and will be brought into your appointment accordingly.There are lots of rules (e.g. keep quiet, cleanse your body before entering the hot spring) and keeping the place in order (limit your noise while there and keeping places clean), I found the place offered quiet an enjoyable, quick retreat from everyday's life.I would stop by this place again. I can't say much about the hotel, but the public soak was relatively a pleasant experience for me!

This place is a machine. Well run and clean but lacks the touch and feel of the locals as compared to other local hot springs. I did enjoy the river views and clear intention to keep the space quiet and relaxing. I will absolutely return!

Had an amazing time at Riverbend, don't skip it if you're in the area! We booked a private hot spring overlooking the Rio Grande. Even on a scorching summer day, it's a nice soak with the light mist in your "room" and the cold water shower you can control. Watching people crafting and floating down the Rio was also so fun. We didn't see the shared public area but highly recommend the private soak rooms!

This was a great place to take a quick weekend getaway.loved the privacy, the view, the price was pretty reasonable per hour. They do have rules and are strict with them. So when booking, read them and follow them. This uses the natural hot springs and the water is pumped back into the ground, keep it clean.

Initially I thought that 1 hour would not be long enough for a soak. But the timing is just about right because the hot springs get so hot. We had an 8pm appointment time for the group pools and it was perfect. Because it was so dark, we were able to see the stars from the pools. Even though this was not a private experience, the group pools were not overly crowded. It was really difficult to book and appointment. When you called the main line, they didn't answer, and the computer was glitching when we tried to book online. This was an incredible experience and definitely worth a stop if you find yourself in T or C!

This place is very inexpensive for just an hour in a private hot pool. Normally I get one hour of private and one hour in the public area too. It's so nice and quiet and everyone is respectful. The pools in the public area have different temperatures so you can find one that you like best and the views are amazing of the river. We went in March and it was 55 degrees out and water was flowing in the river. A great way for a quick relaxing day.

I wouldn't exactly call myself a connoisseur of hot springs experiences, but I have been to my fair share around the area and in southern Colorado.Riverbend Hot Springs was unique in comparison to the all of the other locations that I have been to. There are pros and cons to those unique offerings, though. I was able to go with a friend who made reservations a few weeks in advance (which I would highly recommend doing) and reserved a private pool for one hour, as well as the common pools for an additional hour. I will note that for this location the prices per individual were a little on the higher end compared to other locations I've been. Specifically we paid about $40 a person for the combined sessions totaling two hours. Whereas most other places might be around the same price for a full day or half day access. Noting of course, that this was including a private session in that cost. The private sessional loan was definitely worth it as it is such a unique experience. We were in the Rio pool, which was about 108° and quite hot if I am honest. But we were able to enjoy breaks, and the cold shower that is directly above the pool for cool downs, and the hour went by very fast, but it was more than enough time at that heat level. We then went into the common pools and there were about six pools to choose from and so we hopped around a little bit to try different ones.Important things to note, upon arrival, you wait in the gazebo area for them to call you for either the private sessions or the public session. They have showers to wash off before hand. The rules are pretty strict specially regarding noise in the private pools as well as departure time. I would absolutely come again, and maybe next time make plans to stay the night. Afterwords we went to a really cool little pizza. Place right down the road and it was very enjoyable after a few hours of soaking.

This place is special because, as its name suggests, it's situated right on the Rio Grande. If you opt for a daytime soak, you can admire the river and its wildlife. The pretty stone pool I reserved was accented by artwork and greenery, and I appreciated the *concept of* the electronic button on each side of my private enclosure, which was supposed to be used to discreetly alert staff to guests who were not adhering to the whisper-only policy. In practice, however, it took several attempts and about fifteen minutes (more than a quarter of my soak time) for staff to actually address the noisy guests they were alerted to.Riverbend has an odd, corporate feel to it. Should you choose to soak, you can expect a surprisingly long waiver to read through beforehand, as well as a list of "DON'T"s plastered in bold lettering inside your enclosure. A large digital clock hangs nearby, so you can watch the minutes tick away, and ensure that you don't go past your allotted time. Not to worry, though: If watching the clock isn't your preferred method of relaxation, a booming voice will warn you, via intercom, that your time is almost up well in advance . . . I'm sure each of these aspects of the experience is the result of the inconsideration (or outright disrespect) of prior guests, but it collectively gives the establishment an unwelcoming air, especially when paired with the general unfriendliness of the staff.
