There were umbrellas on the tables, but if we wanted more shade, we'd have to go the covered area, which was far away. New: the payment area is a tent outside, at the side gate. This is cash only. This is super convenient. They put the bracelets on your wristlet. $8.00 for us three, which is pretty affordable. New: the Speaker was playing various tunes, which was nice. Aww man, the whistles; no one can be jumping on one another. Every few minutes a whistle was going off. The majority of the boys stayed in the Pool. I was half expecting to get thrown out. There are two slides, one is faster than the other one. Only little ones allowed in the Play Area. There were two breaks. They were giving out free sunscreen, which was also nice. I kept moving around, I'd be in the Pool, then I'd circulate within the group. I was hoping that it would stay overcast, but it didn't. Got really dark. It was nice to see the boys let loose, since on the field, they are all business. And to talk with the other Parents, about other things, not flag-football related.

Unlike the Hollywood location, there is a large shaded area with lots of seats available. The pool was clean and a good temperature. There is a slide for smaller kids and two big slides for older kids and adults. They offer life jackets for free. You can bring your own food and drinks. Entry was cheap and cash only, paid right up at the gates where the pool is. Overall we love the outdoor pool here and plan to come more often this summer.

I'd rather leave a positive review buuuuut. I was so bothered…read more 1) Im certain this hotel was not full however we were placed in a room next to the noisiest elevator AND the highway noise seemed like it was in my ear every morning. I thought it would've gone away but all weekend I woke up to the blaring noises of the highway. That was so rough. 2) Small inconveniences - as where to put my toiletries in the shower, the shower style allowed for water to go everywhere, the sink leaked when the water was shut off, it just seemed not thought out at all and a lot of maintenance issues. 3) The air conditioning was on point when we came in, nice and cool. But the last day it didn't seem to work at all, barely blowing long enough so the room wasn't cooled completely. I was super hot the morning we left. 4) We felt like no one was around. They said we could purchase breakfast however no one was ever around to seat us. It was a complete ghost town. The fountain wasn't even running and a lot of lights were off all the time. Although some of the art was gorgeous and the place obviously has potential - the work should be put in before charging the insane amount to stay. Sadly, I feel cheated and I don't think I'll be coming back.

Everyone working there was super aggressive and not helpful, with the exception of Mike. We waited in line for drinks which was slow, but then the bar had two seats open, so we sat down. We sat for at least 20 minutes before anyone would help us even though they kept coming to our area. We finally asked Mike, who was working the line, and he said another guy was supposed to help us. That guy was Tanie, who continued to ignore us. Finally Mike just helped us even though he was supposed to be in charge of the line. Now lets talk Tanie, he couldn't function because he was too busy being a complete jerk to everyone, including the employees. He was the least functional bartender, but certainly the loudest. He was constantly screaming at the other bartenders, then he yelled and mocked a customer because they didn't tip, and roped the other bartenders into joining him. It was so uncomfortable. The vibe was so negative. It was very windy that day and at one point, the wind knocked over my husband's drink and spilled it all over the bar and our stuff. The bartenders all made a big deal of scolding him loudly for spilling as if he was a child, and then NONE of them offered napkins or a rag or anything. They just ignored us after yelling at us and left us there in a huge puddle, so we finally just left and went to the bathroom to clean off our items. I have never been so uncomfortable or felt so unwanted or had such blatant and purposeful bad service. Tanie especially was a full on villain, just bullying everyone around him.

You enter across from the Kitchen Table Restaurant. In the dark at night you'll totally miss it…read more There is no exterior signage. There is a sign in the hallway, but that's it. We tried to scout it out at night and we only found it after asking the security guard. They open at 9am and there is a line to get in. I was maybe the 10th one in. I was just checking it out as 9am is way too early for some pool time. At 9 am there was one woman already with her feet in the pool. The pool water is cool to the touch. Other people had claimed their pool chairs and were laying out. Myself and a handful of people were dressed and scouting out the area. They have 3 beautiful pools. All set up with lifeguards. They have a 21+ pool area and they have a staff member sizing you up as you approach. Apparently I look the age so they didn't card me. I'm feeling old now. They have one nautical pool that's a walk in pool. I was told it was perfect for toddlers. Since I'm toddler less I think I'll pass. My guess is there are lots of swim diapers and peek g I. That pool. Hopefully people are t too drunk and peeing in the 21+ pool. We arrived around 11 am for an actual visit to the beach club wearing our suits under our shorts and Tshirts. There were plenty of beach chairs left, but all the ones in the shade were taken. We found some near the middle pool out in the lounge chair corral. So many chairs lined up in the sun. We laid out between plunges for around an hour. I was turning blotchy so it was time to go back inside. If we had some shade we would have stayed longer. They did have padded lunge chairs with umbrellas and cabanas to rent for a hearty fee. We didn't want to spend the extra cash as we still knew it wasn't going to be an all day activity. I did get a virgin strawberry slush out of their slushy machine. It was very refreshing. I highly recommend them. Sadly they didn't offer whipped cream. We loved the pool area and would go back and stay here again for the lovely pool.

Enjoyed a staycation at The Rio this week (5/31 - 6/2) which meant 2 blissful pool days!…read more Ipanema at The Rio has 4 very sizable pools, one of which is 21+ over which is a perfect place for us childfree folks to relax and is where we spent our time. Thanks to Yelp, I was able to see that the free chaise loungers do not have umbrellas. Since my husband is like a vampire and requires shade, I paid the additional $56 for us to have VIP chaise loungers at the 21+ pool which had thick cushions, an umbrella, and side tables. When we checked in we were escorted to the VIP loungers and told we could choose any pair we wanted. They were very comfortable and offered full shade to my husband and I was able to move my chaise out into the sun. The 21+ was really nice with the pool being perfectly cool without freezing, but we were bummed that the waterfalls weren't on. Yelp reviews were absolutely correct as we did see that 90% of the free chaise loungers were in full sun all day with zero relief, so I'm glad we paid extra for guaranteed shade. We made note though of the areas where there was some shade since we'd be taking advantage of the free loungers on day two at the pool. We got there earlier and practically had the entire place to ourselves, so we were easily able to snag some of the few free chaise's that had some shade from the trees. Vampire hubby was happy with his shaded chaise and I was happily sizzling in the sun. Overall, I really liked this pool (we've been to a total of 8 resort pools over the last 18 months); I'd put this in my top 4. I liked the fact they had a 21+ area that wasn't a day club, just a relaxing childfree pool, the overall layout of the entire pool area was spacious and easy to navigate, and that they allow you to bring an empty Hydroflask / reusable water bottle inside to refill at the water station inside Bar Aqua. A few minor complaints is that this pool isn't open to locals unless you are Tier Azul (minimum) for Rio's player's club or you pay for VIP loungers/cabanas. This is also the only Vegas pool we've been to that had no umbrellas at all for the free loungers and very few side tables for them; very strange and kind of harsh for guests considering how brutal our desert sun can be - I personally don't mind since I love to tan, but my husband and friends don't share that same affinity for tanning that I do and require some shade. You'd also think The Rio would want to prevent guests who aren't used to the desert heat from getting sick with heat exhaustion or heat stroke by having umbrellas placed throughout the free lounge areas; thus reducing their liability, but what do I know I guess. Lastly, the cocktail waitresses were just okay. Service was very inconsistent between the two days and our primary waitress on day 1 was extremely pushy, constantly trying to upsell us when we ordered drinks and food which was annoying. Usually pool servers get the hint when you decline an upsell the 1st time... Despite my minor complaints, I did enjoy our time at the Ipanema Pool and I wish I could go more often as a local.

The whole vibe here is cozy and relaxing, especially since it wasn't overcrowded at all during the weekday. After we sat down, our server Katherine greeted us right away. She was super attentive, friendly, and timed everything perfectly the entire time we were there. She checked on us often without being overbearing, which made the experience even better. The menu is pretty basic, but honestly the food was GREAT. Every dish we had was delicious, well balanced, and the portions were perfect. The drinks were also really good and reasonably priced for what you get. The Señorita Margarita was sooo yummy, and I also had a glass of prosecco that was really good too. The atmosphere here is such a vibe. They had a great playlist playing, the energy felt relaxing and upbeat, and the pool itself looked really nice after the remodel. Everything looked modern, stylish, and very clean. Even the landscaping around the pool was beautiful and well maintained. Definitely will be coming back. Such a nice spot if you want a more relaxed pool day away from the craziness of the Strip.

We opted for one of the couches near the pool that had an umbrella. It was close enough to where we could monitor our belongings and we still had shade.

When I went online to book, I didn't see the option immediately, so I called customer service. They walked me through the process, and I secured a spot for the following Saturday (they book up fast, so be sure to plan in advance). I arrived right as the pool opened, and the first thing I noticed was that the 21+ area is separate from the family side--a huge plus! When the host walked me to my cabana, I was shocked to see it was one of the large, high-end ones that typically cost thousands. I was also able to snag a complimentary daybed, allowing me to alternate between sun and shade all day. The food and drinks were excellent and reasonably priced. It was the perfect solo self-care vibe. Honestly, it was so good that I plan on making it a monthly treat whenever the weather is warm. At $50, it is an absolute steal. I can't wait to go back!
