The Lost Spring
2.0/5
Overall, it was a lot smaller than expected and the hot pools weren't all that hot.
There was also construction going on while we were there which took away from the relaxation. To their credit, they only charged us for the hour we spent there when we initially signed up for a full day.

5.0/5
Amazing experience that totally deserves its top reviews.
Our trip was very tailored to what we wanted to spend time doing. In the morning we rock climbed, including learning to lead climb for the first time. Next, we abseiled into the caves and Paul patiently helped us take great glow work photos. Paul provided everything we needed -- we just needed to bring a bagged lunch for the cave. There's also a great free campground just 2 minutes passed their house.
