Given the few negative reviews, I was hesitant, expecting a dark, poop filled dungeon. Not so. The facility was thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing. Don't go there expecting to find a romantic, secluded get away. This place gets a lot of visitors and in no way was it private. But it was enjoyable if you are a bit adventurous, but still relaxing and feels nice. There was a diverse crowd of baby boomers, twenty somethings singles and couples, and some foreigners. For the most part everyone respected the signs that said speak quietly. The few foreigners, they sounded like some part of Eastern Europe and were speaking somewhat loudly and had to be shushed a few times. I hope the staff can make it clear or put multilingual signs up in the future to ensure foreigners understand they need to speak quietly. The Cave: The cave is not "pitch black". It is dimly lit. It is like the pathway in the move theater, between the hallway and the opening to the seating. It is darker than the pictures on their website, but not too dark you can't navigate your way. There are spot lights pointing up at the ceiling of the cave throughout. Although it was a busy day, we had no trouble finding a seat. They are literally marble slabs, hot but not too hot that it would burn you. It was relaxing to sit on. You can also lay on them. As you can imagine, it is like a steam room, the floors are wet with shallow puddles, then benches are slightly damp, and you start sweating quickly. There was also buckets you can fill with the cave water and put your feet in, although it might take a couple of minutes for the water to cool off enough to do so. To get into the cave, you walk down a narrow set of concrete stairs from the hallway above. There is a slight sulfur smell, it was slight enough that it did not bother me. The smell was not as strong as the sulfur smell at the hot springs pool. The Facility: The facility is standard decor, spa and massage facility. The solarium has chairs and padded recliners for you to relax while you cool off to go back into the cave. They offered lemon water, and played relaxing spa like music, and had an array of plants throughout. The locker room was a single row of lockers and with a curtain between it and the hallway. Be prepared as there is no individual rooms to change. The bathrooms needed a bit more care than they were getting. They weren't dirty, but they weren't spotless either. The toilet wouldn't flush in one, as the chain had broke on the inside. The lid was also not on the tank. The other bathroom was out of paper towels and I had to dry my hands off with tissues. There were both men's and women's showers, although they were community, so like the locker rooms, don't expect privacy. The lemongrass shampoo in the showers smelled really nice. The facility also had an outside lounge area to cool off, but it is about 40 feet from the highway, so it was a bit noisy. It was a busy day when I went and there was no parking, but the owner was nice and let me park in a non parking space next to the dumpster. The hallway, while not crowded, is high traffic as it serves as access to everything, and it was a busy day. The Staff: The staff were friendly, accommodating, and patient and gave you a tour of the facility before letting you go. While there is many services to choose from, they didn't try to sell you anything extra, so you weren't pressured to buy anything.

I loved the mineral bath. It is quite romantic, and they leave you alone there with your spouse. (Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge.) The wrap is nice as well, but takes a while. The massage people are not the best, but they are alright. the caves are not all that amazing. They are so hot and they are small and uncomfortable. Would recommend to a friend. Does cost a lot, but worth it at least once.

best spa experience I have had in a long time. definitely worth checking out!

My friend and I went in for the vapor caves. We were then handed our towels and went in to change. I then noticed my towel was dirty with what might have been someone fecal matter... Nice. So i changed my towel and we went down to the caves. Nothing as pictured on their website. It was pitch black and we were down there maybe 30 seconds and decided this wasn't for us. Obviously that was our mistake but we went to ask for our money back to leave and she said there was nothing she could do. I told here we weren't even down there a full minute and she said she was sorry she should have mentioned there no refunds. Yeah, maybe she should have? I forgot to mention the poop stain all over my towel. I was just so enraged that I couldn't get my measly $12 back. Never again.

The vapor caves were an interesting and experience to say the least. My girlfriend and I were in town enjoying the restaurants and sights and decided to try the vapor springs. So we checked it out. The caves are what you would expect. Dark hot and creepy as heck. Once we had enough of the steamy broccoli dungeon we got the showers. Once in the shower I discovered the most troubling sight. In the water channel was a massive turd. Someone apparently was so relaxed that that they thought it a good idea to relieve themselves in the shower. Absolutely disgusting. I will not recommend this establishment to anyone I know.
