Fodor's Review:

The lakeside River Oaks Hot Springs & Spa, on 240 hilly acres near the intersection of U.S. 101 and Highway 46E, is a great place to relax before and after wine tasting or festival-going. Soak in a private indoor or outdoor hot tub fed by natural mineral springs, or indulge in a massage or facial.

  • Cost: Hot tubs $13 to $20 per person per hr
  • Open: Sun.-Thurs. 9-9, Fri. and Sat. 9-10

Reviewed by joaniefork from los angeles ca on 7/29/08
myself and 6 other friends booked spa treatments well in advance. When we arrived we were treated with an attitude of 2 ladies rolling their eyes at us while checking us in. Not much of an introduction given to acculmate one to the spa. Good massage, reasonably priced, however since there were 7 of us spa manager promised a comp fruit platter that she did not deliver. When I asked about it she just said sorry I forgot. No quiet room, only the lobby if not having a treatment or sitting in the mineral tub. Finally we found the tubs dirty and the first one had a dead frog in it. Sent letter to owner who wasn't interested in my comments. Would not go back.
