My partner and I came here once a decade ago, and had a fantastic experience. Our return visit the other day...less so.

The good: our treatments Thai massage for me; therapeutic massage and salt glow for him were first-rate.

The bad: last time we were here, the communal grand bath was clothing-optional, so we did not even bring swimsuits, which are now required. It would have been nice to learn this when booking (they asked if we had been here before, so this should info should have been offered). We learned too late that we could rent suits for $5. Although we both prefer going suitless, this wasn t a huge deal (had we known), except this policy change to be more family-friendly brings us to...

The ugly: There were screaming kids running around everywhere, the complete opposite of what these adults consider relaxing. An 18+ or 16+ policy seems much more appropriate. In general, the place was overcrowded and loud.

I will not be returning. Next time I m in NM, I will go back to the less-luxe, but more sedate Tamaya.
