My wife and I have been coming to Coconut Beach for several years. We both go to the Independence location. If I could I would separate the reviews. Per customer service, the ladies ALWAYS make me feel welcome. They do an exceptional job. I would give them 5+ stars!
HOWEVER, when it comes to management I have a major concern. As stated previously, my wife and I have enjoyed Coconut Beach for years. The rates continue to raise, and getting close to $65 a month. Though I understand there are new amenities that are being offered, neither my wife nor I are interested in these services.
My MAJOR complaint is; My credit card information was stolen so my bank canceled my card. When I received my new card my wife went into Coconut Beach and was told the old card was declined. She explained the previous card's information was stolen so the bank had issued her a new card. When my wife gave the receptionist the new card, both my wife and my account was charged a $20 activation fee. When questioned about the fee we were told it is company policy and if she did not collect the money the company would take it out of the receptionist paycheck. I have been told these ladies make minimum wage. I later spoke with two other employees who stated this was the policy. It is bad enough that we were charged an additional $40, but there is NO discretion for cases such as ours. So unfortunately due to the continued rise in costs, and hard fast rules that do not take the customer's situation into account, I have effectively cancelled my membership as of today. I hope management will look into this policy to see if it is worth threatening a minimum wage employees with docking their pay in lieu of a common sense approach to a customer's situation. read more
