I love Avila Hot Springs I’ve been going out there since 2013 my 33rd birthday. My parents brought me there and got me a 16 minute massage by the very professional masseuse, massaging! Very relaxing & tranquil
The staff is amazing I love the atmosphere the quietness, I like being able to share the area with other locals talk communicate or be quiet and just enjoy the comfort of the warm water and soothing sensation over your body.
If you get too hot, you can dip yourself into the mineral water/chlorine pool which is very relaxing and refreshing. They also have a place for the kids. It’s not super big but there’s a slide and an area for the kids to play.
They have made some really great upgrades fixing the tile in the mineral Hot Springs, which is amazing!! They’re still making progress much needed upgrades that will prolong the quality for future guests to come!!
I have not stayed in any of the cabins so I do not know about that but, it’s not as bad as people may think if you’re able to go to the surrounding cities next to Avila Hot Springs, it’s very beneficial hotels in San Luis Obispo are very pricey & staying near the beach.
Very pricey, if you’re looking for a great weekend minus some of the perks of being in a hotel an enjoying the community & the landscapes & stores & the people you leave feeling like you had a great experience!!
Versus staying in a expensive hotel, paying an arm & a leg and you might not have that great of an experience! Think of all the money you can save, and all of the places you will see and experience!
Check this place out see for yourself it might not be your cup of tea that’s OK to each their own but I definitely recommend checking it out. Don’t judge until you try. You never know.!
The few negatives that they have are not having a area that serves food at the facility they have vending machines they do allow you to bring food into the area but you have to make sure you clean it up and take it out when you leave and some people leave the facility and come back sadly, there is no delivery out to that area so you have to prepare and make a plan about your food options!
Wear water shoes. The gravel in the parking lot is not fun to walk on and please before you get into either the hot mineral Springs or the pool mineral springs rinse yourself off before getting into the water. It helps keep bacteria and other things out of the pool and hot...
Read moreI had a great time soaking in the hot mineral springs. The price is great, especially for the morning and evening soaks. The staff is friendly and informative. If you need a towel or a lock for your locker, you can purchase them. They have a couple vending machines for drinks and snacks. They offer massages. This is a very low key, no frills hot springs pool. Bathing suits are required. The water does make your skin and hair feel soft and silky. My sore muscles were relaxed, when I left. The water does have a little of the mineral sulfur in it; so there is the slight, "Sulfur," smell. Don't let that turn you off. They keep the water at about 104°. If you like the warmer water stay near where the water comes into the springs pool. I prefer slightly cooler water; so, I stayed at the far end. I will definitely return when I'm in the area.
One of the questions asked was, "Do they have a cold plunge pool? If you are looking for the standard 5'x5' (40°-50°) plunge pool, no, they don't.
The swimming pool is heated to 89°. It is a normal, chlorinated pool, but the chemical treatment is perfectly balanced, and you don't smell the chlorine.
*Someone on Google said that they are open until 10:00 p.m. This is incorrect. I confirmed it with the staff. They are only open...
Read moreGood part first pool and hot tub is super nice, staff look like they enjoy each others company and are enthusiastic about their work. Bad: the sites are super tiny. the smell is astonishing and persistent. I also slipped and fell very hard hitting my head and elbow and the manager Marcus tried to trick me into putting my name and info on a totally false statement saying I was sprinting but I caught myself. He said it was from their perspective but no one was in the hallway; noone helped me up while I saw screaming from the pain on the ground. Later on Marcus ( in front of my partner and several customers) tried to cover himself first in case I had a serious injury. We were all pretty stunned. Next Pismo county police showed up and had a prolonged super awkward chat with us where they tried to grill my partner and I while revealing as little as possible and super obvious ly turning on his phone recorder (plain clothes) they later admitted to being police and left when they realised we were actually weary poor ass travelers looking for a brief respite.in that note 2/3 showers were closed and the open one had black stuff all over the floors and had pubic hair in the...
