No waiting in the hot sun for long periods of time! There's lots of shade around the edge of the pool. The grass is nice. I recommend bringing a chair because there are a lot of ants & tiny spiders running around. We all loved the two water slides. The lines don't get very long at all. There's a cute wading pool perfect for babies. It's pretty warm. The lifeguards are very attentive & nice. Overall this is a perfect place to bring the family on a hot summer day. We like to pack a lunch or some snacks whenever we go.

This pool was perfect for a toddler, not too crowded, not a ton of teenagers, a graduated entrance where he could play easily, and he absolutely loved it. I'm not sure if they offer season passes but it was $11 for two adults and a toddler. Their prices aren't posted anywhere which needs improvement. They take cash and card as do the snack/soda machines. We'll definitely be back.

Paradise Hills Pool is a great option if you're on the westside. Reasonable admission fees, lifeguards on point paying attention, nice water slide, a few shady trees and covered table areas, it's a great spot to wear the kids out and catch a few rays. You can bring your own coolers, chairs and floatation devices!! They also serve free lunch in the summer lunch program inside the pool facility on the grass area during the week, and were even open 4th of July with a free popcorn and snow cone machine for the crowd. During the week it can get a little packed at times, try to get there by 12:30 or once they hit max capacity, you'll have to wait in line a bit until someone leaves.

This review will be broken down into many categories: Cost, Peak hours, cleanliness/condition of…read moreequipment, amenities, locker room/shower area, quality of trainers, cancelling membership, and final thoughts (Jerry Springer style!). After being a member for a few years, cancelling my membership and moving out of state, I've finally decided to review this club and my entire experience with it. Cost: This gym is definitely one of, if not the most expensive gym/club in the city. It was a bit over $100/month for me and my girl. Expensive, but looking back, I believe it was worth it. Why? Continue reading. Peak hours: Coming to the gym after work, weekdays between 5-7pm was manageable. I would usually be able to get what I wanted, when I wanted it. If something was being used, I would do something else, and a few minutes later, come back and it would be available. Defined Fitness was a nightmare. Yeah, Defined cost less, but during peak hours, the lines were 3 deep, and it got to the point that I cancelled my membership (probably in 2013-2014). Cleanliness: I've NEVER seen this gym dirty. A cleaning crew is always cleaning the gym. Any time there's ever been an issue with a machine due to normal wear and tear, it's fixed. I believe the company cares about the quality of the product they sell because of the way they keep the place clean. They've had issues with air conditioning, but that was resolved. I've seen cardio equipment break down, and within a few days it's fixed or replaced. A few years back, they also resurfaced/rematted the gym floor. Locker room/shower area: One thing I liked about the lockers, they have attached keys. Towards the end of my membership, they would actually assign a locker to you, and give you a key in exchange for your id, when you swiped in at the front. This was due to their old system in which people would take advantage of, by keeping the key to a locker, basically claiming that locker as their own. Lol. Perhaps this has changed????? Quality of trainers: Here is where they get a gold star. I've used their personal trainers, trainers that have degrees in kinesiology and sports medicine, and have certifications through the top certification companies. The trainers here know what they're doing. They even work with college students that are pursuing similar degrees, much like doctors working with interns. I thought that was great. When I was with Defined, I looked into the personal trainers at Defined, and some of the trainers at Defined have certifications that cost $200 and the test can be taken as many times as you want until you pass...what a joke!! Amenities: Their pools, one in and one outdoor are awesome. They have a two full sized indoor basketball courts, a hot tub, and sauna. One thing I really like about the club, which actually why I like calling it a club instead of just a gym, is that they have pool movie nights. They'll play a movie on an outdoor screen and you can chill on a float in the pool. They'll have bbq's and other events, and it makes the place more of a community. Cancelling my membership: Right before I moved from ABQ, if I remember correctly, I got the manager's email address, sent her an email saying that I'm cancelling my membership, and I think they took one more month of dues out. That was b.s., which is one reason I took off a star. Other than that, it was an easy cancel. Room for improvement: I think it would be great if they did what other gyms are starting to do, and do some HIIT classes, kind of like Orange Theory. Maybe they do, it's been a couple years since I've been there. Also, one time I took my girl's daughter to the pool, and we got charged $10, that was also a bunch of b.s. Considering how much you pay, if you pay for 2, you should be able to bring a minor to the pool without having to be charged extra. This is another reason why this is 4 of 5 stars. Perhaps the rules have changed. They should also be quicker to act on member suggestions, especially when a lot of members brought up a similar issue. I remember a few years back, they had some really crappy body wash in the shower. I know a lot of people complained, and complained for a long time. They eventually changed it, but it shouldn't have taken so long. Final thoughts: The membership cost changes the club clientele from that of a discount gym. The people that work there have always been wonderful, and have been a pleasure to engage. As I mentioned, I think there are some small things they can do to improve the overall experience. You definitely get what you pay for with this gym/club, and with that being said, the value is there.

If there was ANY other choice for an outside pool on the west side I would cancel my membership. So…read moremany areas for improvement - Cleanliness, staff attention to members behaving badly (pedicures at the pool, boys in the women's locker room), condition and safety of the pool area, high price, management that doesn't seem to care....

Pros: staff is super friendly and offer quick text service Location for our event was great we walked everywhere and felt safe, they have lots of security The vibes and remodel is nice, and they have an onsite restaurant Price point was very fair (we didn't use parking) Cons: The hotel was nowhere near capacity and they gave us a room looking at the parking lot, they should fill those looking at the pool first The towels are small and thin and they come with a total of 2 sets, we asked for more and they gave 1 set (be clear with requests) Housekeeping is only offered when asked but they do not tell you that until you ask for it (luckily they fit us in and I didn't have to push) The bathroom door is so hard to open and there's only one trash can in each room As someone else said it's super LOUD on weekends it's literally like cars are drag racing All of that being said I would stay here again and just make sure to request the room location, extra towels and utilize the ear plugs that are in the bathroom. They put a lot of effort into attracting guests and it's appreciated.

DO NOT book here if you plan on staying for more than one day !!!!!!…read moremy partner and i stayed here for 4 days and i wish i would of booked somewhere different. We came from a 2 day drive from Texas (so we are not familiar with the area). The first thing that was the first warning was looking for parking,,, when we asked, we got told that we could either pay for valet parking that was $25 a day or use public parking that had pay meters. The public parking had indications of cars being broken into with broken glass all over which obviously pressured us into paying valet for 4 nights which cost us an extra 100 dollars that we weren't aware of. However, the valet parking was ironically the best experience of the stay because they were very friendly and helpful!!! :-) Another thing was also the housekeeping. As someone who would frequently book hotel chains like Days Inn, this hotel would make you request housekeeping a day before which i found inconvenient and strange but it was nothing to tell home about. Until......we requested room service a day before like they had said.... and they did not show up...... :-( We went to the lobby to tell the front desk and he was nice about it and helped us out :-) The next day we were out all day and when we came back our restroom looked different... that's when we realized they had done "housekeeping" while we were gone (mind you we did not re-request housekeeping). It was strange because it was so minuscule that it gave off the impression that they didn't want it to seem like anyone was there. It was only replacing the towels and taking out the trash with the rest of the room untouched (from my past experience of hotels they usually make the bed, replace amenities, and take out the trash,,,, basically making it known they did room service). Lastly, although it is out of their control, the location was not great either. I read other reviews and people talked about how great the location was but, I feel different. The location itself was surrounded by restaurants and bars and right next to route 66 but, the reviews failed to mention there was a lot of homeless people around,, especially in the park that was next to the public parking. This made us feel unsafe and kind of detour us from exploring the area. Overall I can see how it would be a nice place to stay for one day but, if you plan on staying more than that I would highly encourage you to find somewhere else.
