bath hotel and spring house

We enjoyed visiting the Baths and seeing the impressive exterior of the old Bath Hotel. We dipped our feet in the water and gazed into the enticing pool. Still, we kept thinking that the baths and Bath Hotel - both extraordinary features of Nevis - are a missed opportunity awaiting investment and attention. The natural mineral baths on Nevis have been an attraction since early times. History buffs will remember how the early settlers appreciated those occasional hot baths, and that the later hotel and multi-level spring-fed pools became the first high end international resort in the Caribbean.Now, with the realities of time, economics, and hurricanes, only the main hotel building (restored as government offices, not accessible to the public), one small enclosed public pool with a towel and amenity rental cart outside, and a natural spring pool below it, remain of the extensive infrastructure of the baths. People working at the baths and local people enjoying the natural bath in the stream below the structures clearly know what a great resource they have! Even in the current dilapidated state, the baths are inviting. I would love to see the surroundings improved for future generations of residents and visitors.

The hot springs here takes some getting used to at first - its 108 degrees - on any given day - but once you inch your way fully into it, it turns into a healing, soothing experience that actually helped alot.

this place was pretty unusual. The waters are supposed to be very healing. We saw people being sort of baptized. We met a very interesting fellow who knew so many things about the history of the island and it's people. I was not wanting to submerge myself but the toes enjoyed it. It was definitely worth seeing

I love stopping at the Baths on my way back from the beach. It's a great way to unwind after a day in the sun. What I didn't like this time was the vendors that had set up shop offering massage services???? I was actually returning from Four Seasons Spa and taking a quick dip. As I was heading back to shower and relax before dinner. This vendor was pretty aggressive. When told I'd just a massage she started trying to sell me her wares. No thanks. Needless to say, I didn't return and I usually go daily after the beach.

Great natural experience stopped by on our tour.loved the really hot hot water. Very beneficial for any aches and pains. water over the head is a must

Hot never hurts and once you dip in for a while you will feel renovated and energized. Nice place, very relaxing. Seems the place needs some retouching expect the tubs of course. Very cool experience.

You would not believe it is so soothing.It is very hot you have to take our time and go down one step at a time, it soothes aching muscles,tiredness and is relaxing. After a hike or day at the beach i recommend the Bath Hotel and Spring House after your soak in the hot healing waters you go home to a refreshing and peaceful sleep.

The area around the springs & the bathing area have recently been renovated & they have done an amazing job.....there are now several pools to dip in, all very hot but worth the time it takes to lower yourself in!.....highly recommended for easing aches & pains. There is also a lady there who has a very good set up hiring towels etc & giving massages...definitely worth a visit while on Nevis

We climbed Nevis Peak with Reggie of Nevis Adventure Tours. He took us to the hot springs after the climb to sooth our muscles. It was definitely neat to see and experience. The baths are HOT and you don't spend more than 15 minutes in them. If you book an adventure trip with Reggie or hire a taxi for the day, I suggest asking to add this on as a stop verse your only destination.

I could not believe it was that hot until I put my feet in. Interesting experience. Put some water on your face also, maybe you will feel younger after this.

I went here with friends. The water was so hot I only got in knee deep and sprinkled water on the rest of my body. One of my friends jumped in. He had been drinking and I don't recommend this. I suggest bringing towels and water. My feet felt great afterwards but it took a while to adjust.

The all natural hot springs were amazing. There is no real hotel here anylonger just the springs. And I mean hot, they were about 110 degrees and you should only stay in for about 15 minutes if you can handle it. There is an outside section that I was told actually bubble due to the sun shining on it all day which meand that one must get to boiling at 120 degrees. I felt totally detoxed afterwards a little shaky but totally relaxed. I needed to sit for about 10 minutes afterwards before I could even get up and move about. I have some back ailments but did not feel any of these after I had emerged from the springs.

The history of baths is amazing in this day and time. All the locals were there so you know it was healing

Other than the naked man scaring my children this place was worth the visit. Feet felt professionally pedicured after the visit.The Hanleys

The hot springs are very relaxing and comfortable. Many people travel there for the healing properties, which can make it interesting (some people will change there clothing right their at the spring). It was not very crowded when we were there, only a few people. The waters were relaxing and therapeutic.The view from the Bath Hotel, looking at the cloud capped mountain, the city, and the ocean, is amazing.
