I've seen this place all over the internet... Tons of ads to book or follow this businesses page…read moreand so I've been following since 2023. I'm a proud ClassPass member, and I noticed that this business has been offered on the CP platform for well over a year now, with the slimmest availability--Usually the classes will say "notify me when a spot becomes available." So for the first time I saw an open class and was so excited to finally experience this... I have a strict budget around fitness/wellness classes so if it's not offered under my ClassPass I won't participate. Upon booking the poolside sound bath class for 7/7/25 at 7:30pm on a Monday; I invited a friend to meet me there. My friend does not have ClassPass, so I encouraged her to book through their website so we could go together.... Only to wake up the morning of to a cancelled reservation. So I called... No answer. Then I sent a message through Instagram and the owner responded promptly just to tell me that they mistakenly have availability out on ClassPass but do not accept bookings through this platform... How irresponsible?! There's always so many rules in place for lateness or no shows but what happens when the business is on the other side of this? No accountability taken whatsoever. People move things around in their schedules to show up and support businesses like this so not only did I feel like my time and money wasn't valued because "I'm a ClassPass member" but the owner had no remorse for her wrong doing of offering classes on CP to begin with. She was so worried about "filling tonight's class" that she wouldn't even look at the situation for what it was and accommodate us... All I asked was that my friend be either refunded or credited for the class since we couldn't go together anymore. This establishment is greedy! And the owner is very money hungry. I was offered a 50% off discount to book this one time after going back and forth... I honestly feel like it was only offered to shut me up. So I will NOT be using the discount code or supporting this business ever again. Experiences like this are supposed to be relaxing and enjoyable; why would I book a class here after feeling like I'm not wanted in the first place? I can't believe them!

We wanted to booked earlier 1/2p but there was a group that booked from 1p-3p so we had to postpone it a couple of hours back. the morning of i get a call from a guy named Nick who states that the group before ours had a "bus issue" and wanted to know if we were ok pushing our time back til 4p. I told them that it's not fair that our group is being penalized for another group's tardiness and that their rules & policies state that if a party is late, that they lose time. Nick said he's "trying to make both parties happy" but i told Nick that our party had plans afterwards and that we would not like our time to be pushed back. Nick states that it will "only be 15 minutes" that the group will be back by 3:15p and that we will be out in the water by 3:20/3:30. I requested compensation for the inconvenience to which Nick states that "there's not much that he can do". Nevertheless, the group still wanted to go so we still proceeded with the reservation. I, along with majority of our group, arrived still promptly at 3pm. We signed our waivers and waited until the group before us finished. The group was out there til way past 3:30pm. Nick came around this time to state that he can give us a "$10 discount" but we would need to have our physical credit cards with us to give us back the refund; unfortunately none of us had the physical card with us. At this moment, he also asked us if our entire group was here. 2 people were running not even 5 minutes late (as they were told we weren't going to start until 3:30 anyway). When Nick heard this, he said "oh you're group isn't even all here yet?" and then proceeded to walk away. Hello? I was still here (along with majority of our group) at 3pm, I still deserve the refund. I thought that was VERY rude. There was a girl employee next to him who we diverted our attention to since Nick walked away, and told her that we would still like to get started as it was now nearly 3:40pm. She helped us get set up with life jackets and paddleboard/kayaks- she was very sweet and helpful, nothing against her at all. The actual paddle boards were very worn down, not all of the paddle boards had bag straps so i made sure i had one that did as i had belongings that i did not want to leave behind. My paddleboard also made a lot of noise (unsure if there was a tear that was on the bottom of the board that was flapping around with each stroke). For $45+tax+tip, I could have bought my own inflatable paddleboard and went into the lake for free. The actual time spent in the lake was very nice, it was a beautiful day, very minimal currents, not too crowded. Besides this company there were other people who brought their own equipment so I'm guessing the lake is free for all so we really didn't need to go with this company and bring our own equipment (which I will probably do next time). There is a bunch of parking as it is in a park but only 1 porter potty nearby so it was better to change in the car. Overall, nice day out at the lake, really bad experience with Driftwood.
