We visited Sam’s Family Spa and had a mostly enjoyable experience. The resort has a relaxed, family-friendly vibe with plenty of amenities to enjoy. The highlight for me was definitely the natural mineral hot springs—clean, warm, and incredibly soothing. I appreciated that the pools are non-chlorinated and refilled daily, which added to the sense of cleanliness and freshness. The setting is a unique mix of desert landscape with tropical touches, and there's a good amount of space to walk around, relax, or let the kids play. We stayed in our motorhome at the park for 6 months. The site was spacious, close to the restrooms/showers. It's nice and quiet at night. That said, a few areas could use attention. Some facilities looked a bit dated, and I noticed minor maintenance issues in communal areas like the bathrooms and showers. Staff were helpful overall. If you're looking for a laid-back spot to soak in mineral waters and enjoy a simple, budget-friendly stay, Sam’s Family Spa is a solid option—just go in with modest expectations and maybe call ahead to see how renovations might impact your visit.

My family loves Sam’s for a good mineral soak. The pools are healing and clean. We enjoy going early or later in the day where it is more quiet. We enjoy that you get to listen to nature rather than obnoxious club music like most resorts. Can’t wait to go back to soak.

The two women in the office area provided excellent customer service. I brought my family here to celebrate my son's sixteenth birthday, along with four of his friends, so they could relax and enjoy the hot tubs and everything else after a grueling week of basketball. My wife and I saw we will come back without the kids next time. They also have tiny houses.

What an amazing time at Sam's family spa, very calm, friendly people , R&R for sure, brought the camper out and they have full hook us but we also had that view, internet connection is not the best but cable TV had a decent amount of channels. I would definitely return. Hope they can upgrade the game room downstairs and what looked like an upstairs lounge area that seems to be deserted. Now, that would be a nice plus. But overall, it is very affordable, place to come and relax, and has great on-site laundrymat and restrooms/ showers that were nice and clean, fully stocked, too. Little store on site for those little things you might forget, and they offer propane refill too. Pet friendly a bonus, pool area is truly an oasis they provide towels which is cool, steamroom is amazing. And the MINERAL POOLS!!! what we came for, just hit the spot, let me tell you. Slept so good first night after that. It's definitely a place to try. And I love that it's family oriented, with great local shops nearby to go explore.

The facilities themselves are great! hot spring tubs and warm pools, wet saunas and a dry sauna, grassy picnic space. It's a chill place, easy to relax here. We stayed in one of their tiny homes though and it had a nice set up and great potential, but wasn't properly cleaned. The carpet had not been vacuumed, the walls had dirty hand prints, the couch had crumbs. We decided to deal with it rather than make it an issue, but then our dog got fleas here. (He's white so it's easy to tell when he gets them). Would recommend for a day trip or if you have an rv.

I'm from Los Angeles and I've been coming to desert hot springs for 25 years. I've stayed at almost every resort. This one by far is the best. The water is fresh out of the ground and not chlorinated. The staff are extra friendly and the rooms are newly renovated and clean.

Such a wonderful experience in those hot springs! One of the only places around that uses saline and not chlorine to disinfect the water, and it makes all the difference!! The pools temperature is constantly checked and managed, and it was never too crowded in any of them. I spent the night with my RV and got access to the pools on both check in and check out days, full hookups, laundromat, little store- for pretty sweet deal for the price. The staff was super helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend it for either a day pass or an overnight stay.

Me and my family have stayed here several times over the past year. This time it was very busy and the staff never missed a beat. I really liked the changes they have performed in the past 12 months. We had two other family members meet us there with their campers and we all had a great time. I highly recommend this hidden jewel. A lot to do just with a small drive nearby and also just staying at the resort. This is our favorite spot to stay here in California. I have never had any issues and they always are accommodating and professional. I did see the map when making reservations went away, I liked being able to see what was available and also pick our spot. Hope that finds its way back someday.
