I had a great experience here previously with a lounger, so I came back for my birthday and…read moreupgraded to a cabana. Unfortunately, it took about 30 minutes just for our cabana to be cleaned, which is frustrating when you're paying for a specific time slot. We hadn't received our bottle, the table was still dirty, and there was very little apology or urgency. My friend spoke with the manager first, and when nothing changed, I went over myself. I explained politely that we had already lost 30 minutes of our reservation and that it was my birthday, but he seemed completely unconcerned. We were told they were understaffed, but there was no real effort to make the situation right. What made it worse was seeing another cabana properly prepared with ice, starters, and the refrigerator stocked while ours wasn't. If cabanas are the higher-priced option, I would expect at least the same level of service, if not better. The experience really put a damper on the beginning of my birthday, and after this, I don't see the value in paying extra for a cabana.

We have installed a pool before, so we have a good understanding of what to expect during the…read moreprocess. Initially, we were pleasantly surprised by how quickly Emerald Waters Pool completed our pool installation. Unfortunately, we soon realized the speed came at the expense of doing the job correctly. The biggest issue was that the required city inspections were never completed before construction moved forward. Will advanced the project all the way to the final inspection, where the city rejected the entire project. We then spent approximately two and a half months waiting for everything to be corrected and approved before we could finally move forward with the plaster. Even after receiving city approval, the problems continued. The site had not been properly prepared before the plaster was applied, resulting in it having to be installed twice. Then, just three weeks after installation, the color began fading, which was clearly not normal. We contacted Will about the issue but never received a response. We also discovered that the waterfall was installed off-center, another quality control issue that should have been caught during construction. In addition to the pool, we hired Emerald Waters Pool to install a patio and walkway. The workmanship was disappointing. The pavers was neither straight nor level without constant supervision, and we had to insist that sections be redone because they were not installed correctly. To make matters worse, some of the additional work we paid for was never completed. It is also worth noting that the work performed outside of the pool installation was never covered by a written contract, which appeared to avoid documenting that portion of the project. Based on our experience, we cannot recommend Emerald. Between the missed inspections, poor workmanship, lack of communication, and incomplete work, the project became far more stressful and time-consuming than it should have been. We strongly encourage anyone considering this company to continue their search for a builder that prioritizes quality, communication, and accountability.

It's definitely a fun place to spend the day with kids of all ages. The food was surprisingly good! I highly recommend the chicken tenders and fries. They had great flavor. My only SMALL downsides was the bar experience. The drinks are extremely overpriced for what you get, and the male bartenders during our visit were not very welcoming AT ALL it felt like you were bothering them to ask for a drink. They would probably do better serving drinks away from the public. Meanwhile the female staff were genuinely friendly and pleasant. (couldn't remember names) The overall experience was still pretty cool. It's a fun escape in the middle of Dallas and a great place to unwind for the day. We also used the sauna in the spa area which was A1 would recommend utilizing all of the great amenities as a hotel guest. Bottom line this is our new go-to spot for a staycation or when family is town.

The equipment is old. The ceiling is low…read more It feels like a big hotel gym. The Staff looks depressed. Don't drop the equipment or use Super heavy weights because one of the Staff members will ask you to not disturb the spa next-door. The music sounds depressing and it's played through an intercom system. But it's the only full gym on the side of town. It closes a little too early. You are sharing with Hotel guest. That may not know what they're doing. So I only maybe recommend it. The few positives include: You can probably find the equipment you're looking for. It's not overly crowded, unless there's a convention of annoying people in town like yesterday. They keep it clean. Generally, I feel it's overpriced for the value. But again, it's the only one on the side of town So get a tour and figure out if it's for you.

The membership experience is pretty poor thus far. I have only been a member for a month. It is…read moreconvenient in distance, hours-open and in the variety of equipment, however the communication to members is really lacking. It took me about a month to get enough response back from the manager to join. Once I joined I emailed several logistical follow up questions and have never received a response. As far as I know there is no email newsletter or online schedules. I went to one class so far and there was no one attending, I arrived right at the class time and the teacher was packing up because no one was there. Like I said, from an equipment standpoint, there is everything you need, it is not the top of the line, but everything seems pretty well-maintained and in working order. Access to the hotel pools is also a plus. But it does not feel friendly at all, you are kind of left alone to figure things out. I came from very communal gym membership environments so it is quite a change.

This gym just gets the job done. Nothing more. After being a member at LifeTime for over a decade,…read moreand spending a couple months at Absolute Recomp, maybe my standards are just too high. The location is the only reason I'm a member here, as I'm big on not having to drive more than a few minutes for a lift. Staff is great and equipment is in good condition. Membership price is reasonable. The bathroom sink sensors are super irritating, anytime I've washed my hands I'm walking between 2, if not 3 sinks. Why do they only turn on once? It's a women's locker room, we use soap there... My main issue is the consistent running out of sanitizing wipes. There's always at least one station completely out, and last week there wasn't a sanitizing wipe in the entire building. Really? This should be a top priority for a gym. Nobody wants to sit on somebody else's sweat, let alone contract a bacterial infection. I guess it makes me feel better that only a small majority of members even wipe down their equipment in the first place. If you're reading this and you don't wipe your bench down, do better. That's disgusting.

This gym is a "Signature" location, so it's just a bit nicer than your standard LA Fitness…read more There are two levels, with weights, personal training areas and a Pilates Reformer studio on the first floor and treadmills on the mezzanine. No Kids Club here. They have pool, spa and sauna. This location has frosted glass doors on the showers (just a bit more private than the cheap semi-translucent plastic curtains at other locations) There's neutral citrus-y body wash, shampoo and conditioner provided. They appear to have towel service and provide hair dryers. It's not a 5-star experience, by any means, but you can get a solid workout in, relax and get clean after. There's a juice bar here if you work up an appetite. Parking lot is a bit small, but I never have trouble finding a spot after making a round or two about the lot.

Separate pools for lap swimming and water-walking or water aerobics instruction. Hallelujah. 2. Pool lanes are quite large, so sharing wouldn't be difficult at all. That said, at the day/time I was there, I didn't have to share. 3. Towel service (hint: the large towels are inside the entrances to the locker rooms). 4. Garage parking underground is a super nice perk for a rainy day. 5. Friendly staff (but that seems to be all YMCAs). Cons: 1. Shower situation was shockingly poorly planned, given that this entire building is relatively new construction. I guess showers don't need benches where you can put your stuff? In the women's locker room, people had pulled chairs over into the shower area to "solve" this problem, but it wasn't great. 2. For anyone who's uncomfortable in a public locker room for any particular reason (I can think of several), there are very few (only two) private shower/locker rooms available relative to my home YMCA, and they're labeled with rather unfriendly signs saying that you shouldn't use them unless you're a family or a disabled person.
