The road is too long, bumpy and boring

james_o, Feb 2026

It is a 2-hour drive one way over an extremely rough and washed out road. Many potholes and at times rocks. It is not asphalt, it is not gravel- it is dirt. There is no cell service at all. Doesn't matter which carrier you have. Many people become nervous according to my guide due to the fact they cannot contact their ship in case there's some type of mishap , or if something happened to his car there's no people that come on that road that would be able to get us back to the ship nor the town. It's discerning. The hot springs are fine; however, no host, no beverages or food for purchase.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand that the road conditions and travel time to the hot springs may not be suitable for every traveler, and we appreciate your honest comments. The hot springs are located in a remote natural area, which is part of their unique charm, but it also means that road conditions and cell phone coverage can be limited. We are sorry that this affected your overall experience. We value your feedback and will continue working to ensure that guests receive clear information about the journey before booking. Thank you for visiting, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you on another experience in Huatulco. Kind regards, Lamby Tours Huatulco

Unique Hot Springs Experience

William_C, Jan 2026

We went on this excursion to the hot springs from a cruise ship and were met at the cruise port by our guide and driver, Edgar. He was very helpful and informative. The drive to the hot springs is long (close to 2 hours) and over very bumpy, rough, and curvy dirt roads. You get to see a lot of the countryside and mountains. The hot springs are neat - they overlook a river valley - very pretty! There are several pools of varying temperatures - the hottest is maybe the temperature of a hot tub. They were enjoyable and a unique experience. The hot springs are far from civilization. There were cold drinks for sale at the springs, but nothing else. Our guide kindly stopped at a roadside restaurant for lunch on our way back to the port. Overall - it was a neat experience! However, if you suffer from motion sickness or dislike long van rides, this is not for you! Otherwise - enjoy a day in the mountains!

The journey is definitely part of the adventure, taking you through Oaxaca’s countryside and landscapes. We’re glad Edgar helped make the day comfortable and enjoyable. We hope to welcome you back to discover more of Huatulco! 🌿⛰️♨️

Hot Tubs in the Sierra Madre Mountains

Claudia_B, Dec 2024

Gilberto, our guide from Lamby Tours, was excellent. The hot springs are up in the mountains and the drive is on a bumpy road through villages. Gilberto was a safe driver and shared history and personal stories of the area. At the hot springs, we were the only tourists for the first hour. We enjoyed four hot tubs that are built over the rushing river. The hot water, red clay mud masks and the sulphur springs really made us relax. Gilberto was very helpful on the trail (I am 71 and hike but he was still very attentive when I climbed in and out of the tubs - no falling!) Because we were on a private tour we got to stay as long as we wanted at the pools and then we headed for lunch in a local village. Delicious Mexican food (superb chicken mole!), mescal and some shopping. A memorable day in the Sierra Madre mountains

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Hello Claudia! Thank you for your amazing review! We're delighted to hear that you had such a memorable day in the Sierra Madre mountains with Gilberto as your guide. His attentiveness and knowledge truly make every experience special, and it’s great to know he helped you feel safe and comfortable throughout the trip. The hot springs sound like the perfect mix of relaxation and natural beauty, and we’re thrilled you enjoyed the red clay masks and sulphur springs. A private tour definitely offers that extra flexibility to soak it all in at your own pace. We're so glad you loved the delicious chicken mole and the local charm during lunch and shopping. Thank you for choosing Lamby Tours—we hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!

Peaceful paradise

Anastacia_A, Dec 2024

Relaxing mineral springs in a picturesque setting. Imagine pools on a mountainside with river sounds below you. We had the place to ourselves. The guides were engaging, thoughtful and knowledgeable about the area. The road there is gravel and takes an hour an a half. A meal was not included but the guides shared their snack of tostadas and cheese. The groundskeeper made us a passion fruit drink and provided straws made from bamboo. Support a local company that wants to share all the area has to offer

A fun day in Mexico

Dan_P, Feb 2024

My sister and I loved the adventure of going where few from our ship went. We followed a van to the springs with the other 3 of out tour, so 5 total. Our car was newish and had ac and comfy, even with our 1.8 hour drive to the natural springs above the river. Our tour guide and driver Tony made the trek up and down the very bumpy, and poorly grated dirt road fun. But at the same time educational. We were in the town of his birth and life so as he told us, we were seeing the real Mexico. His English which he taught himself from listening and practicing was good. Even good enough to deliver side jokes and catch ours. The springs could have been hotter. We sat in 3 and saw only 1 more. Not sure how it was talked about in guide as 6 tubs.

Response from Host, Oct 2024
