Plenty of parking is found under and around so whoever designed it knew what they were doing. Little known fact, there is a really nice disc golf course that needs a little work. There are no pads and no signs telling you where to go so that would be cool if they did. The course itself is a fun round to play. A couple of the holes go around the lake so beware of throwing your disc in (done it twice) Speaking of the lake, really great spot to spot salt water crocs. The lake is close enough to the sea that it gets pretty salty water. I spotted a sizable barracuda Overall, I really cool place to check out if you haven't

The space at this estate and the grounds are beautiful and the upkeep is impeccable. I had never been here before but it is definitely picture worthy. I also hear it's a popular spot for weddings and all kind of events. You have to preregister and pay a $5 fee to attend Sunday classes. Class is about an hour and although outdoors still in a covered space. Bring your mats and water to stay hydrated. The outdoor space has a lovely view with the bay next to you. The nice breeze helps with this Miami weather. The instructor is super nice. Whether your an expert or a beginner (like me) she goes around and helps to make sure your posture and positioning is correct so that you don't hurt yourself. Her voice also makes the whole experience soothing. After just one class I'm hooked. It's the perfect way to end the weekend and have a happy Sunday funday. Join me!

Well I have to say that the owners of this particular VentureX facility have done an amazing job!…read more The facility is clean, new and the atmosphere is very welcoming. Everyone is greeted and made to feel at home which is awesome. Many different types of companies that are working here and sharing the premises like a big happy family, which is very cool. I came to visit Phillip at Gateway Media and Films here, to have him work on some video footage for me. Phillip is awesome and if you have any podcast, video or film related work you can certainly give him a call at 305-259-6022. I am sure he would I'll take great care of you and he knows what he is doing with 28+ years of experience as well. From what I can tell they have various office spaces available at this VentureX dedicated and shared which is great and very affordable if you don't need a dedicated secure office for your line of work. They have conference rooms and a very cozy shared lounge area that works great if you are visiting with clients and discussing possible business opportunities or internal business meetings. There is also a coffee station, vending machines and microwave station available in the kitchen if you would like some coffee for yourself and your customers. As a customer, Phillip and I have had some nice conversations over a free cup of coffee or a hot latte which is always great. Internet seems to be great in the facility as well, which is a hard requirement nowadays for day to day work activities. Overall, the owners are really doing a great job at this VentureX workspace facility. Hey, I like it so much I may want to open one of these businesses as well! I love the concept! Well, hope this helps and wishing you all a great day!

We were excited to visit this place but unfortunately left slightly disappointed…read more All of the exotic bird cages through out the gardens were empty. The landscapes were beautiful but we were excited about the animals too. The gardens close at 5:30 pm but they take the animals (donkeys, cow, goats and pig) away at 4 pm, which we didn't know. So they were being put away as we got there. The playground is nice, although not very big, my girls enjoyed it. The water park closes earlier than the rest of the gardens too. Overall a lot of the "experiences" seemed to be closed on the Sunday we visited. Not sure it was worth the drive.

Estimados señores de Grand Salón,…read more Me dirijo a ustedes con respeto para expresar mi experiencia con relación a la celebración de los 15 años de mi hija, evento para el cual confiamos en sus servicios. En primer lugar, quiero agradecer sinceramente a la señora Lía por asumir la coordinación final del evento. Su trato fue amable, dispuesto y profesional, especialmente al tomar un proceso que ya venía con varias dificultades previas. Valoré mucho su atención y esfuerzo para continuar adelante con la organización. Sin embargo, también considero importante comunicarles ciertos aspectos negativos que afectaron nuestra experiencia como clientes. Inicialmente, la primera event planner asignada Sra.Tania no mostró la paciencia ni el seguimiento esperado, dejando el proceso inconcluso y transfiriéndonos posteriormente con la señora Lía. Adicionalmente, deseo expresar mi descontento con el desempeño del maestro de ceremonias y del DJ asignados para el evento. En momentos importantes de la celebración faltó coordinación, organización y profesionalismo, afectando detalles significativos que para nuestra familia eran muy importantes. Lamentablemente, aunque hubo aspectos positivos, la experiencia general no cumplió con las expectativas que teníamos al contratar y pagar por sus servicios. Les comparto esta espectativa con respeto y con la esperanza de que puedan tomarla en cuenta para mejorar su atención y calidad de sus futuros eventos. Lamentablemente, durante todo el proceso percibimos mayor enfoque en los cobros y pagos que en brindar una atención cálida, profesional y verdaderamente orientada al cliente. Un servicio de calidad no solo se mide por lo que se cobra, sino por la experiencia y el compromiso que se ofrece.
