Ten Thousand Waves Review

Longing for a little Zen in your life? This inn provides minimalist Japanese-adobe accommodations nestled within piƱon trees below Ten Thousand Waves Japanese Health Spa, a truly unique place renowned for its hot tubs and spa treatments. Inn guests receive complimentary use of communal baths. About a 10-minute drive from the plaza, the place is en route to Ski Santa Fe. Travelers seeking to enjoy the silence of their own being seek out this place. They need to be fit because the paths connecting the rooms with the spa have enough steps to make you gasp during your mantra. Rooms are aesthetically bare, medium-size with clean lines and paper lamps, kimonos, and such hanging about. All have wood-burning fireplaces, robes, CD players, and balconies; four have full kitchens; and most have TV/DVDs. Fresh fruit, rice milk, granola, coffee, and tea are provided in each room. The High Moon is the most elaborate room, with a full kitchen, two balconies, and lots of space. More spartan and small is the Zen room, decorated in minimalist decor, and with no TV. Wireless Internet access is available in the lobby, and wireless and high-speed Internet in some of the rooms.

Facilities:
Spa w/full treatments; coin-op laundry

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
