The resort met all our expectations. The service was exceptional and very personable. They always remembered us and wished us a happy anniversary in the restaurants and the spa. We will definitely return in the future.

This is an amazing place!! I wish we could have stayed here for 2 weeks. Every employee remembered our name, the service was amazing! For a large resort they made it feel small. Every detail was taken care of and surpassed! The location is incredible beautiful. We enjoyed every moment.

Everything was wonderful. The property was beautiful. The staff was outstanding. They had food for every palate. The views were breathtaking. The bed was comfortable. The hot springs were perfect.

The Springs Resort & Spa is a stunning property with breathtaking views and world-class facilities. The setting is truly fabulous, but the overall customer experience can be hit or miss. While there are many dining options, the quality of food doesn’t quite justify the exorbitant prices. We had a great stay overall, but given the cost, we’re not sure we’d return—there are more consistent luxury resorts globally that offer better value for money.

We absolutely loved our stay. The staff was polite and attentive, food was delicious, and there was plenty to do there without having to leave.

The resort staff knew us by name and were genuinely concerned with our happiness. The food was fresh and delicious from the buffet breakfast to the poolside dining or the sushi restaurant. The beds were comfortable and rooms nice and dark as well as quiet for a good night’s rest after an active day exploring the grounds. We had a blast river tubing and sitting in the springs as well as having smores by the firepit. The wildlife animal tour was incredible. Will definitely return.
