Safety & Etiquette
Safety and Etiquette at Miracle Springs Resort & Spa
Miracle Springs Resort & Spa is generally safe for soaking, with eight professionally staffed mineral pools maintained year-round between 90 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Visitors should hydrate before and during pool use, take breaks between pools, and exit the water if feeling overheated. The upper end of the temperature range, 104 degrees, is at the limit of comfortable soaking for most adults.
The pools are shared by hotel guests and day pass visitors, and standard resort pool etiquette applies throughout: swimsuits are required at all times, showering before entering is expected, and respectful behavior toward other guests in the shared space is the norm. The pools are open 24 hours, and guests using them during late hours should observe the general courtesies of a shared facility.
Some guest reviews have noted variability in pool maintenance conditions and the number of pools in operation at any given time. Visitors who consider pool availability a priority may wish to confirm current conditions with the resort before booking. The day pass fee of $18 is waived with any same-day spa service, making a treatment a practical way to access the pools without a separate entry cost.
The Capri Restaurant is available throughout the day for meals and drinks. A 24-hour front desk provides continuous staffing. Guests with health conditions that may be affected by warm mineral soaking should consult a medical professional before use. Removing metal jewelry before entering mineral water is advisable, as the mineral content can cause tarnishing over time.
