It was a perfect, hot summer morning when I arrived. Parking was a breeze at the opening hour 8:30 a.m. I walked the grounds and found a perfectly located lounge chair by the lap pool.
While I waited for my cousins to arrive I swam. My advice get there early.
I had the pool all to myself! hee hee
Many lounging spots throughout the grounds.
Lots of daily activities, tours of the botanical gardens, water aerobics classes etc. are posted in the schedules. Make sure you get a map of the area too.Plenty of private lockers, towels, spinners to wring out wet bathing suits in the dressing areas.
Indoor and outdoor Roman baths
Fun area to coat yourself in red clay.
Great salads are just a few of the many choices at Cafe Sole. Wine as well as cocktails can be ordered and delivered pool side if you desire.
Private cabana areas can be reserved.
There are about 17 pools to choose from. Plenty of nice lounge chairs and tables with umbrellas.
Glen Ivy Hot Springs Spa is an 11-acre oasis in the desert outskirts of Corona, California about an hour drive (57 miles) south-east of Los Angeles. The luxurious grounds have grown up around a natural mineral hot spring that gives the resort its name. You can fill a whole day at Glen Ivy Spa without ever booking a treatment.
