Fairmont Hot Spg Resort

We took our family to the public pool at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort for a day in July. I had read a number of bad reviews so I was a bit concerned when we went. To say I was pleasently surprised is an understatement. We were able to bring our own food, chairs etc into the area and find a nice grass spot under some trees. I highly recommend going earlier in the day rather then later to secure a nice spot. The only down side I have is that the parking lot is very small and if you can't get in at the top of the hill you have to go even higher, making it quite a hike to leave the pool. The pool areas were clean and my kids enjoyed themselves. We will be going again next year when we return to Fairmont.

Arrived with family July 2017. The area is beautiful: a backdrop of the Rocky Mountains and the Columbia Valley. This desolation is juxtaposed against the hundreds of people soaking in the half acre or so of hot pools. From far above it might look like a pack of ants crowded around a food source in an otherwise deserted landscape.The facility seemed a bit tired, from chipped paint to lockers with missing or broken keys, but with the volume of visitors I can see how hard it might be to actually find time for renos,Overall though, with the scenery and the wonderful hot water, it's a must-visit attraction.

Wonderful Resort with a lot of activity options. The mineral hot springs pools are wonderful. There are multiple pools with varying temperatures of water. Be forewarned that there is a steep cost to enter the pools on top of the cost to stay at the resort. We were not expecting that cost. They do not allow families to get a multiple day discount ticket even though it is offered to individual buyers. This makes no sense to me as families are their target clientele. If your travel trailer is full size you need to pay extra and stay on a deluxe site. The 30 amp sites up the hill are way too small. We are on top of each other and do not have room to put our awning out with a 29' trailer. There are several playgrounds and kids activities. Several onsite restaurants (No Vegan options) and a great coffee cafe. Beautiful views and helpful staff. Great for families.

Stayed overnight on a weekend, place we got has 2 beds( more than enough for 3:) and a kitchenette and my couple friend got the standard room.We hang out in our room for meals for obvious reason- we have the kitchen. I personally like this hot springs than the other--its price higher but well structured and good location.We soak/swim, eat, hike, talk---we got what we went for: chillax(chill and relax)and rejuvenate.

We spent 2 nights at resort for Canada Day with another family...5 kids between 6-11. The resort outdid themselves for Canada 150. So many activities for kids (face painting, pie throwing, movies, candy bingo, crafts, puppet shows.) BBQ and live music! They hid cards throughout the hotel for prizes! Pool was awesome, diving boards entertained kids for hours. $1.50 ice cream, pancakes
