“Healing”

Living Waters Spa

5 of 5 stars
Southern California
May 5, 2008
3/3 found this review helpful

We first came to Living Waters Spa in March~April. My husband has been a Naturist since High School, but this was my first time. I was more than comfortable. I now call this "My Healing Place". We returned for another weekend as soon as we could and will continue to do so.
When we arrive we are frazzled from every day living. Muscles ache, sleep not restful, and everything feels in fast forward. After the first dip in the mineral water, all that stress leaves the body and mind and you begin to heal.
The massage they offer is the best ever, so do not leave with out it!
The rooms and grounds are so very clean and the friendly way you are treated makes this the perfect vacation.
My husband and I are now closer than ever, and Living Waters helped to set the stage.
Jeff and Judy are wonderful, loving, caring people that we wish we had met years ago, and are now richer for knowing them.
We can not say thank you enough!

“Total Relaxation”

Living Waters Spa

Apr 20, 2008
3/3 found this review helpful

We've just completed a now-annual pilgrimage to Jeff and Judy's oasis in the desert. We're running out of superlatives to describe the pleasure of total relaxation we enjoy while guests at this lovely mini-resort.

For those who have never before tried "clothing-optional" and are at all apprehensive, this is THE place to take the plunge. Simple nudity, "good touch" through the terrific massages that are available on-site, and the friendly ambiance encouraged by the sun, the pools and the 3 p.m. conversation is the spa pool with homemade snacks provided by your hosts---all of this makes being nude feel natural and "more normal" than wearing clothes.

New this year--a superb aesthetician who provides a palette of spa services that complement the fantastic massages that have been a signature part of every LWS visit that we have enjoyed.

The only surprise that we had--completely out of control of our hosts and guests--was the unexpectedly changeable weather. Two and a half days of our trip were "desert postcard perfect"--warm sun, cool nights and gentle breezes. But there was also the day and a half where it was downright windy. Those days, we chose to do things in the valley areas of Palm Springs and Palm Desert where the wind was noticeably calmer. If you're coming a long distance and plan to stay a few days (as we did), take advantage of the "desert-perfect" days as they come and be flexible with the rest. If you're planning just a night or two at LWS, don't forget to check the weather just ahead of your trip so you'll know what to expect.

Fair warning on the following two points. You will have such a wonderful clothes-free experience at LWS that

1. You will be planning your return to LWS before you leave; and

2. Getting dressed to return to the textile world will become a nuisance that you will try to avoid until the very last moment.

“third times a charm”

Living Waters Spa

5 of 5 stars

2/2 found this review helpful

This was our third trip to LWS, and will not be our last. The weather is terrific, Jeff & Judy are as wonderful as ever, the 3:00 pm "feeding of the animals" still goes on with guesses on the contents of the dip (congrats to N for getting all the ingredients and the free massage).

This is a clean, well kept facility, the other guests are warm, friendly and respectful. We always go away with new friends, and a desire to not leave. We will be back!

This time we took time to hike in San Jacinto State Park & Indian Canyons, and recommend both, although you do have to put clothes on ;-) The Palm Springs Tram is quite spectacular, and the trails at 8,500 feet, although still somewhat snow covered look very inviting. not into hiking? Go up anyway and enjoy the view!
