Unbelievable they will not allow you to come in without having a vaccine! they must not keep up with any developments in the science after its has been proven that vaccines do not stop the spread and that you can still pass it on while vaccinated! so whats the purpose? what a dull narrow minded backwards place.

Completely discriminatory: 've frequented 10k waves for years. Recent policy excluding a huge portion of the population is so disgusting. I cannot believe someone would be asked to make a permanent health decision to visit your spa. Gross.

We absolutely loved our relaxing private pool experience here! My girlfriend and I drove to Santa Fe from Denver in 2021, but did not stay at the on-site lodging (so I cannot accurately comment on the rooms). However, I can comment on the private pool, which was Fantastic! As you can see from my attached photos, the pool itself was long and luxurious. Being tall, it was nice that I could fully stretch out fully.
There was also a traditional coal-fire sauna included in the room, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Additionally, there were private bathrooms and showers, and a sitting / lounging area with an open view of the beautiful nature surrounding, and a pitcher of ice cold drinking water was provided. We were a bit unsure how it would play-out during COVID times, but the grounds were clean and regularly disinfected, and the staff at 10,000 Waves were professional and helpful in clearly explaining the rules to us when we arrived. I would definitely like to return again and recommend 10,000 Waves for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

When I was allowed to stay here and enjoy the place, it was beautiful. It makes me sad that because I choose what goes or doesn't go into my body prevents me from being able to enjoy this place. I'm an RN and if they could see what I see, or know what I know; maybe things would be different. If you have so much faith in the vaccine, why worry about the people who choose not to get it? It's disappointing but for those who are allowed in, it is a wonderful getaway.
I stayed in one of the stand alone structures and it was absolutely perfect. I enjoyed the privacy, how welcomed my dog was, the private parking and the comforting feel of the room. I miss those days. It's also disappointing to see the owners responses to some people. The condescending tone is inappropriate and unnecessary. No need to be hurtful.

Divine experience. If I lived here, I'd go every week. Booked first available and was given the Shoji bath. Beautiful and spacious set-up with jetted hot tub, cold plunge, sauna, and full bath. They provide toiletries, hair dryer, robe, towels and a pitcher of ice water. The tub and plunge pool are open to the outdoors and overlook an area with trees. It's private, peaceful and very romantic. We were allowed to bring our dog, and even though she hates water, she loved hanging out with us on the deck.
I don't normally enjoy saunas but this one was terrific. A large window at the top framing a beautiful tree and water to pour over large hot stones and create a bit of steam. We both felt completely relaxed after this experience. Highly recommend it.
