Honest review of Camp Allaso: Cabins were fine, comfortable…read moreenough. Bathrooms, need attention, we had a huge glob of hair from the previous campers on our shower wall, that was enough to gross anyone out. The bathroom also did not smell clean, they need to be disinfected. Food: Disgusting, the eggs appeared to either be made from a box or previously made and just reheated. All of the other food is meant for 5 year old children (chicken nuggets and pizza), not kids getting ready to go into Junior High School and parents that have been physically working all day. We also had several children with special cultural diets, however the camp completely ignored it. One child had to eat a hamburger bun with nothing in it. Again this child's parent paid over $300 for 2 nights, no excuse. For Over $300 for 2 nights, the food needs to be better. This is unacceptable. Activities for the children: Kevin, Mike and Rachel were the absolute best, they clearly love children and enjoy their jobs. Several of the other instructors were burnt out and had very little patience (and clearly didn't enjoy children). Pat, the person that speaks on stage, needs a vacation. She is a GRUMP off of the stage. She is forgetting the people visiting are PAYING guests, which is how this place stays open. Most of the staff here expects for the Chaperones to do the heavy lifting. Truly, they provide the infrastructure, but the chaperones do the work. They will ask you to put their supplies away etc..

I chose to get married outside because my wedding was in October, and I can't even put into words how beautiful it was. The whole bridal party kept saying "I can't even believe this place exists in East Texas!" I had a very large bridal party (11 bridesmaids) and the dressing room accommodated everyone very comfortably even with our hair/makeup team in there. As silly as it sounds, the bridal suite was the one thing I was picky about while I was "venue shopping" and the Villa certainly has that part figured out! We opened the doors to the patio and had the most relaxing/stress free day of getting pampered! The reception room is so elegant and very spacious with a built in bar area. I could write a book on this place but words just don't do it justice! Not only is the venue amazing, but their team of coordinators/owners are the absolute BEST. Rhonda and Bonnie made sure every detail was taken care of so that I didn't have to stress about a single thing. We hired Laura Ann Herrington as our planner for the rehearsal and wedding day, and she was also fabulous!! Don't miss out on this place if you are looking for a venue--it is simply PERFECT.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience with this wedding venue, particularly with the…read moremanagement, lack of communication, transparency regarding pricing, and unwillingness to work with clients. We booked this venue approximately a year ago, and during that time there have been multiple changes in management. McCall is the current manager, and unfortunately, my experience with her communication and customer service has been extremely frustrating. Pricing, expectations, and additional costs have not been communicated clearly or in a timely manner. My biggest issue has been the bar. When I booked the venue, the information presented to me led me to understand that the bar was included as part of the overall venue pricing. Throughout nearly an entire year of wedding planning, I was never effectively informed that I would be responsible for a separate $1,500 bar expense. Instead, FIVE DAYS before my wedding, I received an unexpected invoice for approximately $1,500 for the bar. Receiving an additional expense of that amount just days before your wedding is incredibly stressful, especially when that expense had never previously been clearly itemized on the invoices I had received. When I expressed my concerns to McCall, I did not feel that there was any empathy or genuine attempt to understand the situation. Instead, she referred me back to the contract and stated that it was ultimately my responsibility to review the contract. I completely understand that clients are responsible for reviewing the contracts they sign. However, my issue is that the contract and invoices I had been provided throughout the planning process did NOT clearly identify or itemize a separate $1,500 expense for the bar. The pricing showed what I was paying for the venue as well as an additional ad-on for the photo booth, which I knowingly agreed to. There was never a similar itemized breakdown showing that I would owe an additional $1,500 for the bar. What is especially frustrating is that only FIVE DAYS before my wedding, the contract/invoice was then revised to include and itemize the bar expense. Prior to that revision, throughout the entire time I had been planning and making payments, that $1,500 bar charge had never once been clearly itemized on my invoice. To then add the charge to the paperwork five days before the wedding and refer me back to the contract as though this expense had been clearly presented to me all along was extremely frustrating. If a client is expected to pay an additional $1,500 for a required service, that expense should be clearly disclosed, itemized, and communicated from the beginning--not added to an invoice five days before the wedding. The situation is even more frustrating because clients are not given the flexibility to choose their own bar vendor or seek a more affordable alternative. The venue requires the use of its bar services, yet in my experience, the associated cost was not made transparent until days before the wedding. After investing a significant amount of money into a wedding venue, I expected professionalism, transparency, empathy, and timely communication. Instead, when I raised a legitimate concern about an unexpected $1,500 expense just days before my wedding, I felt dismissed rather than supported. Wedding planning is stressful enough without receiving a surprise $1,500 invoice five days before the wedding for something you understood to be included in your original pricing. Based on my personal experience, I strongly encourage anyone considering this venue to request a detailed, itemized breakdown IN WRITING of every expense before signing and throughout the planning process--including the venue, bar, required vendors, ad-ons, service fees, and any other potential charges. Keep copies of your original contracts and invoices as well so that you have a clear record of what was and was not itemized when you booked.

Tyler Paddle was very rude. Even after we had done business with them for 4 years. Once we got our own paddle boards and stop taking their classes / outings they got the grounds people to ask us to leave. We did not make a fuss. We moved over to the boat ramp area as requested. As it played out, the friends we were there with are family friends of the owners of the Boulders and after a phone call, let's just say, we had a picnic area and site to have lunch at. Tyler Paddle was too expensive and little to no actual instruction. I would not recommend doing business with Tyler Paddle.

The other children and parents seemed to enjoy it as well. There were about 8 babies in the class which felt like a good size. The main teacher was keeping things moving along. I can recommend for parents with 1 child, or if you have other children who have a sitter. I did not have a good experience having 2 under 2. I wasn't allowed to bring my infant in the car seat in the room so I had to hold him the entire class and try to keep up with my toddler. There were helpers, but they weren't always engaged with the kids. If there were regular open play times where multiples of different ages could go on a schedule that would be better for parents with multiple littles at home and of different ages. There was another mom with a toddler and infant but she explained how she also couldn't figure out how to bring them both at the same time. The workers seem to still be learning. As we were leaving, my toddler was holding a scarf and the worker got into a tug-of-war with her trying to take the scarf. I would have liked a gentler approach. She also started spraying cleaner when the class was over nearby my toddler. Another downside is you must purchase a membership and can't pay per class. So as I can't figure out how to bring 2 under 2 and I wasn't totally satisfied with the staff, I can't commit based on that trial visit, so we won't be back. Overall, I'll give 4 stars because Tyler needs more things like this for young kids, however I'm also bummed I can't be a regular customer.
