Sam's Family Spa & Hot Water Resort

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.

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.

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.

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.

We have always loved going here. But the pool lounges sag and are torn. The office has tiny tubes of sunscreen for 2.50 each, and very little to buy, compared to a couple years ago. For the price, I'm on the fence about returning On the positive side our site was really a good size, the guys in golf carts are so welcoming and accommodating.

Arrived at Sam's Family Spa in Desert Hot Springs for a 2 night RV stop! We chose this spot for its 4 mineral hot springs, 2 pools, sauna, and steam rooms, and it didn't disappoint. The spa area is rustic but beautifully maintained and the gardens are gorgeous. It's a hidden gem! The spas are emptied every night and refilled in the morning (which we witnessed) perfectly relaxing and I feel amazing after just 2 days of enjoying the springs. Thanks very much. I imagine this was the place to be back in the 70s! Beautiful views over the mountains and spectacular sunsets.

Stayed the night in a so called new renovated hotel room on property. Construction debris right outside the door. Windows fifthy. I used the microwave and the electrical circuit tripped. Utility box located no electricity dark. After 9 pm no one to call for emergency on property. Happened again 2 hours dark. Bed like cardboard. Place is an unsafe fire trap. Circuit Breakers need to be new.||.
