I see an extra charge on my credit card. Why?

We can assure you we did not charge you extra! This is a temporary pre-authorization that our Point of Sale system, Toast, requires. If you open a tab, a temporary hold will be placed on your credit card for the amount of your initial order. This will fall off your statement once the real charge goes through. Some banks drop this off the statement immediately, but others can take 4-5 days for this to happen, especially after a weekend, so please be patient. Thanks for understanding!

What is your Lateness Policy for Cabanas?

PLEASE PLAN TO ARRIVE 10 MINUTES BEFORE YOUR START TIME on your cabana rental! You can always grab a drink or put in a food order if you are early. If you do arrive late and there is another reservation after yours, your time will be shortened to end at the original end time.

Birthday Parties, Baby Showers, Corporate Parties, Bachelor(ette) Parties... are they hard to arrange?

We make it easy! If you only need one cabana or a double cabana, you can rent it yourself online without contacting us HERE.

No attire that does not cover your private areas appropriately (keep it classy, for all our sakes!)
Backpacks – please leave them at home or return them to your vehicle (because some things you could have in there; alcohol - which puts our liquor license at risk; weapons; enough space to steal our ceramic pineapples - oh, it's happened!). If you have nowhere to put your backpack, please note that a search will be required.
A Valid Photo ID with your birthdate
A great attitude & an open heart that's ready for some fun!

*We reserve the right to wand everyone on weekend evenings & for large events.

*We do not deny entry to anyone unless they are underage (we take this VERY seriously); are visibly intoxicated; do not meet our dress code (above) & refuse to change; refuse to put their backpack away or have it searched; or we are at capacity.
