“Termas de San Joaquin”

The rooms, restaurant, and pool are average at best, but the hot springs and the star tour at night were so wonderful that makes the experience worth coming back to.

“ATTENTION - there are two different ways/entrances to access the thermal pools”

Hey! we went there last weekend! it was really nice, i enjoyed it a lot. it is a good escape from the city, peaceful, quiet, warm and relaxing. Though, what we didn't know: There are two different thermal pool areas, which are almost the same, both about the same size!! one are has the one big pool - and the other area has two medium size ones and three super small ones. the difference is the price though - The first are comes with access to the hotel area, and a meal and costs 600 pesos. The other one is access to the big pool (only) and costs only 200 pesos!!! Other then the size of the pool everything is almost the some (bathing area, entrance and so on...). This would have been the better deal for us. But no one told us and we didn't know befor. Also, the receptionist who was happy to sell us 600 pesos ticktes didn't mention the other option and entrance! You should know befor you go there, to make an informed choice what suits you better. Travel save!

“Rural and Rudimentary but Something to Do”

Natural hot springs in a Romanesque style underground atrium. While it’s got character and a nostalgic flare, the construction and operating quality is rudimentary.

Natural hot springs in a Romanesque style underground atrium. While it’s got character and a nostalgic flare, the construction and operating quality is rudimentary. Not like a high-end Korean spa that’s scrubbed clean every night. The water is a pretty color but I wouldn’t let it get in your mouth. It’s a natural hot spring and there are a lot of particles and debris in the water. A little grimy here and there, but not too bad. The atrium feels about 100*F ambient air temperature and very humid—bring a couple liters of water to keep hydrated in there. Only the cold pull-shower provides an option to cool down. There are no locker rooms. You pay the admission fee and carry your stuff straight into the hot spring atrium. If it’s not busy there are stone and wood benches everywhere to put your stuff. Overall minimal service from the staff. You need to bring your own towel and flippers. There are no pre-showers—only one cold pull-shower inside the hot spring atrium room. And you cannot use soap and shampoo. Just be aware that when you visit here that cold-pull shower is your only way to wash off before leaving. Quiet ambiance. No music was playing while I was there and the walls all had signs reminding people to whisper. The facility itself is in a rural desert location. Nothing else around. No convenient shops. Nothing. The road here from Monterey gets pretty rural. Lots of pot holes starting from 10 miles out. Don’t recommend driving it in the dark. You can book a tour here through Expedia (~$110 USD / person), or go directly through a local tour company like Monterrey Tour for a few dollars cheaper. General admission fee without any spa services is 235 pesos / adult. Sometimes you can find a promotion on their Instagram.

“This is not a 4 star hotel, 3 tops”

The place is nice, close to Monterrey but far enough from the city so you feel in the wild, it feels like a very nice little town 3 stars hotel but the price is higher for the benefits and amenities you get, they even tell you they don't use to give hand towels or dsce towels for the bathroom sink!… lisää

The place is nice, close to Monterrey but far enough from the city so you feel in the wild, it feels like a very nice little town 3 stars hotel but the price is higher for the benefits and amenities you get, they even tell you they don't use to give hand towels or dsce towels for the bathroom sink! We're having a great time here, food is good, but they lack attention to the detail in everything... It's clean, beds are comfortable and all is pretty if you love rustic decoration style, I loved it! The thermal waters area is very nice and pretty too, but they lack personnel to keep the order and the observance of the place rules like not be loud, no kids under 12 in there, no music, alcohol or cigarettes, it's a place to relax and enjoy the benefits of the waters, not a McDonald's or a bar! Also I never saw medical personnel either ready for any emergency at the Termas. The astronomic nights are great, Pablo is a true scholar and makes everything very interesting and entertaining while educating you in all the science! Definitely never pay for the buffet except for the breakfast ones, the others are not worth it better to order a la, carte, it's much better!
