My Personal Thoughts~
I really liked the variety that Indian Hot Springs had to offer, and at extremely affordable prices. I soaked and did a mud bath for like $40. This was very much a family place though, so I highly recommend going during off hours to get the most relaxing experience. The geothermal caves are a unique offer as well, however I did not try it during my visit but plan to return.
