Are hot springs episodes just a cheap alternative to beach episodes?

The second half of magipoka episode 10 should answer your questions. Besides the pool one. Fuck pools.

pools seem more hygienic than springs

Hotspring episodes are just comfy beach episodes with less lotion.

Looks like you need to watch Hyouka and Bakemonogatari again.

They're completely different. The beach is for high intensity emotional encounters, and hot springs are for quiet, introspective, heart-to-hearts.

Hot springs mean the girls of the show will be naked. Beach just means swimsuits. Take your pick of whichever you like best.

Also this. Beach episodes are loud and energetic. Hot springs are calm and relaxing. Again, whichever you prefer.

who the fuck would take a naked girl over a girl in a swimsuit?

I know that swimwear trends have been terrible since 2003 but come on.

Beach episodes mean more people and movement. Pool episodes mean more movement. Hot springs have least people and are static, also nude.

hotsprings have the advantage of showing the girls fully naked instead of in swimsuits, but they almost always pussy out with towels so they're usually worse.
