Glen Ivy Hot Springs - Temescal Valley, California

Came here to celebrate anniversary. This place is located in a quiet spot and not a lot of traffic. Making a reservation is the key. We booked day pass with service that included massage for additional price as well. We are able to check in within 2 minutes of arriving there. Receptionist was warm and professional. Their contrast pool was out of order which was a bummer. Masseuse were professional and knowledgeable. Massages were decent. Their food and drinks are slightly on the higher side. Their place was fairly clean. Changing facilities were clean and properly equipped. The south pool had some dead insects floating in the water. Overall 4/5 ⭐️.

I truly enjoyed my sister date here.
We got a pedicure with Jerry and she was so sweet and did a wonderful job on our nails.

When it comes to the grotto experience, I feel like they could’ve added something more special , it felt too fast and a little bit basic. You get your body brushed with clay then sit in a steam room and shower… just not sure if entirely worth getting that specific service.

As for the mineral pools, the sulfur is intense and the smell is overpowering. I’m not sure if it was our specific pool but it was very potent and also left my skin smelling that way. Been to many mineral pools and this is was a first.

I loved the other pools and the floaties, the bar, dining options, the steam room and showers. Overall it was still worth the experience and I would enjoy coming back with my family to try other services.

My friend and I were so excited to visit Glen Ivy and started our visit out soaking and swimming, my friend had been to the spa multiple times and she warned me of how busy it was! We showed up and it was very manageable, organized and seemed clean. We were able to soak in several tubs get muddy and eat a snack. The food seemed equivalent to movie theater food. Unfortunately there was a big fire going on California and we had to evacuate the facility. The staff was professional about everything and it was for safety so I totally understand. I think they did a good job getting people safe!! Next time I’m in California I’ll have to resume my experience!!!

We have been coming to glen ivy for years. My sisters and I have always loved it. We get yesterday and it seems like everything has changed. It no longer has the quiet relaxing feeling of a spa and changed to more of a party resort atmosphere. Loud music everywhere. Dirty water in the hot tubs bc there are so many people.

The service use to be so great as well. And that has changed. Unfortunately I don’t think we will be returning.

My first visit on my actual birthday a Saturday and glen ivy did not deliver. I am very disappointed i was expecting a luxury spa resort and this place wasn't worth all the hype. First off it was so over crowded, I didn't get to enjoy any of the spas, baths, pools nothing much because it was over crowded. I got their around 9:45 am and it was completely booked. The facility wasn't as clean as I thought it would be especially for the price. Glen Ivy is truly over priced, crowded and the bees are all over the place, along with the mosquitoes. My mom tried to relax in the lounge chairs and she got bit up pretty badly. Yes this place is outdoors but gees way too much going on. Now I can say the place is very tranquil the beautiful green plants the nice water falls were very beautiful. The locker rooms not so nice, my towel at shower time smelled mildew. And FYI no hand towels so you gotta wash up with your hands. For the price I just couldn't understand that. Also FYI their were just as many men as women so if your expecting a relaxing environment with only ladies you can forget it. All in all I give this place a 3 out of 5 stars. The best thing glen ivy has going for them is the Grotto. Hands down grotto beautiful experience.

My first spa visit and I'm not sure I'd recommend it much. It didn't feel much like a 'luxury' experience. Most of the pools were cold (unheated) and it was way overcrowded. It was more of a party atmosphere than I expected and hard to get into any of the hot pools. When you did some of the pools were pretty clearly not very clean with plenty of floating debris. The massage was decent though and in the only quiet part of the hot springs.

An oasis of pure relaxation! From the soothing mineral pools to the invigorating hot and cold plunges, every moment here feels like a retreat for the soul. The grotto is a true hidden gem. Calm, serene, and the perfect escape from the everyday grind. This isn't just relaxation, it's an experience that redefines rejuvenation.

So relaxing and beautiful property. Spa service was fantastic. The two things needing improvement are the food and drinks. An $18 drink had what seemed like zero alcohol in it. Everyone in the group said the same thing. The food was very pricey and not very good as well. Hope these improve but can't wait to go back otherwise. Also they don't seem to provide receipts or break down of costs and payments. I asked to see screen at least and wouldnt show me. Now I have to call them because the breakdown isn't correct and I appear to have been overcharged.
