“This adults-only property struck me as a truly individual desert escape; the clothing-optional vibe cultivates a live-and-let-live ethos. The unique hot spring baths, fed by natural sources and customizable to each guest's preferred temperature, are a highlight rarely encountered. Its intimate, artistic setting, adorned with the owners' pottery, makes it a memorable-if slightly quirky-alternative to standard hotels.”
