This was our third time to Living Waters. We had the couples massage, as good or better than before, and spent the day lounging in the pool. Host Jeff brought out sangria, hibiscus brownies, and great conversation for those of us visiting. A nice treat! We find Living Waters incredibly welcoming and with a high level of respect for guests.... More

Once again....we treated ourselves to a long weekend of relaxation and reluctantly returned home in a totally rejuvinated state. LWS caters to the mind, body and spirit. We truly appreciated the hard work of Jeff, Judy, Lilly and Kathy during our stay. As usual, the facilities were well maintained, the massages (Jeff and Lilly) were better than ever and the... More

Living Waters Spa is truly one of a kind for many reasons. The waters in the mineral pool and the spa are very healing. Every time we spend a day or two in these waters, we feel rejuvenated, but who wouldn't, sitting in some of the most mineral rich water in the world, surrounded by blue skies, fresh air, palm...

We treated ourselves again this April. It had been six months since our last visit and Desert Hot Springs was once again beckoning . The best option from our part of the World still seems to be to fly to Ontario and take the hour drive rather than try to get reasonable flights to Palm Springs.... so we went. The... More

I bid a sad farewell to LWS on April 15, 2013 after my second seasonal stay of five and a half months (11/1/2012-4/15/13). When added to my 5 month stay last season, I've had the privilege of calling LIVING WATERS SPA home for nearly one of the last two years. PRETTY AMAZING! As a twice daily dedicated soaker...that translates to... More

The other 5 star reviews are on point. This establishment is exactly as advertised and offers a truly tranquil experience. As they say, it's not a place to party but truly be able to relax. The facilities are dated but in good shape. With plenty of loungers and fresh towels. This is a clothing optional facility where almost everybody is... More

We called on short notice and were able to get a room for the next night. We stayed in room 8 and were happy with the cleanliness of the bathroom and full kitchen. The bed was comfy, we were pleased to find a fan in the closet and a plug in heater if needed. Cleanliness was excellent in and around... More

Returning to LWS is like coming home. Following a cold windy winter, driving up Mountain View Rd., and seeing the familiar sign engendered a deep sigh. Jeff and Judy are consummate hosts, and staff are always so kind. Our couples massage was the icing on a delicious cake. We always look forward to meeting new friends, and this year did... More

A nice three day weekend in Palm Springs. Decided to try out Living Waters as we have visited other clothing optional resorts in the area and abroad. It is a relaxing environment but needs some love and special attention. The lounging chairs outside are old and plastic, not to mention white. The walls are white in the pool area and... More

I returned this weekend from a six night stay at Living Waters Spa (LWS) a place that provides a wonderful stay in a tranquil environment.
