Such mixed feelings. Went on Mother's Day 2026, with two grown daughters who had been there before. They knew to be there at opening to get a chair and a crack at getting shade under one of the large umbrellas. Glad we did that. I can't imagine being in the sun all day without shade. Shortly after we arrived families had to sit down on burning hot turf Water was perfect, waves are fun. White sand. Cliff diving very fun. While many mentioned no lifeguard at the dive pool, as a Gen X, I appreciate not having a kid telling me when to jump but I can see it could get problematic with so many kids without adult supervision. Restaurant is a problem. We got in line and waited for them to call us when the table was ready, that was fine. But after we sat down, it took 15 minutes to be acknowledged. We decided to order drinks and food at the same considering the wait to be greeted. Then the food took one hour. The server should have told us the kitchen was so backed up. It's not the server's fault but no way he didn't know. Weirdest of all, server would not acknowledge what we were saying, just a blank stare. I repeated since he was not saying "yes" or ok, or got it. I looked at my partner and said do you think he can hear me? We decided maybe he could not. I asked a third time for my Arnold Palmer. He walked away. So my partner got up and chased after him and asked again if we could have an Arnold Palmer and he said, "yeah I heard you". So that was bizarre. Food was fine, but again no one checked on us. Slushie drinks are expensive, no alcohol detected. I'm a super light weight, even one drink gets me a little tipsy. Had two, and I swear there's no booze in there. Can't bring your own water. No insulated bottles allowed. There are some big drums of water but the water is warm, no ice. Ran out of cups fast. Oh and trash was overflowing everywhere. Might be back if they "finish" the place. Needs a lot of polish. We paid $25/pers. 4 of us with lunch was $200. read more

We happen to be in the area and decided to check it out and are very happy that we did. It gives great beach life vibes with an amazing view of the AZ mountains. I ordered the wings while my 7 year old got the chicken tenders and fries. She must have really liked her food because it was all gone. The wings were amazing, you could tell they had been grilled to perfection. We will be coming by back read more

First time here tonight and we did the River Wave level 1 lessons and they were so much fun! The instructors were very skilled and so helpful! My daughters loved the wave pool, beach and even the cliff jumping! The water was pretty cold and it wasn't very crowded (probably cause the water is still really cold) but it was a lot of fun, especially the surfing. I would absolutely love to come back! read more

this place is awesome for a beach day or to surf. they have a Unit wave, which is there version of a flo rider. It's a lot like a river wave so it's an awesome way to surf for a longer time. the surf waves are great, they engendered a way to have a perfect wave every time. they one hour sessions with a different wave strength by hour. it's a good setup for everyone from novice to expert they have a beach pass to where you can hang out in the white sand beaches, on the edge of the wave pool, or in a lagoon pool. It's a sweet spot for people that don't surf. they have diving platforms as well, the highest looks to be around 25' into a 16' deep pool. the only thing I would say is bring a ton a sunblock, shade is a bit limited near the lagoon pool and Unit wave. read more

This place was a dream!! To be able to surf in Arizona is crazy thought. Especially with the amazing Arizona sky that seems to go on forever. I had an absolute blast on the River wave and the wave pool/ Trestles style wave. May be a bit pricey but it's a must try at least once. But once you do it you are going to want to come back. read more

Revel Surf - Surfing! - Water Parks Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

We had a really disappointing experience at Revel Surf in Gilbert, especially considering we paid nearly $600 for a cabana. Right from the start, we were stuck waiting in line for about 30 minutes in the blazing sun with no organization or consideration for guests who had already paid for premium seating. When we finally got through, we were met with a pretty poor attitude, which set the tone for the rest of the visit. The cabana itself was dusty and clearly not properly cleaned. It also took quite a while for a server to even come by, and when they finally did, the service didn't improve much. Basic amenities were missing, the fridge only had warm water when we arrived, and there was no ice available. For the price, that's unacceptable. Food service was frustratingly slow, and when it finally arrived, it was brought out without napkins or silverware. We had to request things you wouldn't even think to ask for, and even after asking, it took another 30 minutes for those items to be brought out. Overall, the experience felt disorganized, overpriced, and poorly managed. Honestly, take your money elsewhere. read more

Was out at revel recently during a bachelor trip weekend. Shelby + GM Ryan helped me set everything up and got us dialed in. Even made a special request for batched pitchers of cocktails (as we had 15 guys partying) which was perfect / delish Had a group of advanced surfers on the "Trestles" session then a group of casual surfers on the "Malibu" and waves were fun -- plenty of push to pump then shwap a big section Had a cabana on the west beach area with a dedicated server Milan who was great and gave us quality service. Thanks revel I'm stoked to come back Highly recommend for a big group that plans on spending the day there read more

Horrible experience here today. I had a terrible experience with Revel Surf . I bought tickets earlier this week and showed up excited get out of the heat, only to be stopped at the door and told they were already at capacity. Apparently they oversold tickets in person, and then claimed that around 100 people had "stolen in." Instead of taking responsibility for overselling, the staff seemed more frustrated with me--a paying customer--simply for asking why they would sell more tickets than they could accommodate. It was incredibly frustrating. They offered no real solution other than a refund. At first they told me I could wait outside while they tried to figure out who had snuck in and let people in as others left. After waiting around for about 30 minutes, they came back and said they actually wouldn't be letting me in at all. The whole situation felt poorly managed and very unprofessional. I drove out expecting to use a ticket I had legitimately purchased, and instead got stuck dealing with disorganized staff and zero real customer service. Really disappointing experience. I wouldn't recommend based on how this was handled. read more

We really enjoyed Revel Surf with my mom group taking 5 kids under the age of four. It was very fun and realistic for them as they have a wadding pool entering the surf pool. The super soft white sand was obviously a hit and there is plenty of shade near the water. We didn't surf, but we did enjoy the "beach" and then some great new places to eat nearby by however they do serve food and alcohol. read more

Enjoyed an awesome birthday celebration at the bar & grill. The food was good, scenery has a Miami/Laguna Beach vibe, although still under construction. The shrimp was absolutely delicious!! The service was impeccable; Hailey was our server. read more

Forced to stay for over an hour due to rain/thunder, refused to give anyone a refund and illegally held my group for an insane amount of time. We never even made it into the water and they shut down the park after enough people got angry and were threatening to force their way past the lifeguards who were refusing to allow them to leave to their vehicles. Absolutely horrible experience. read more

this place is amazing!! staff were very nice, music was fitting, the sand was soft, place was clean, and food was good. not too expensive. the showers didnt work and the floor is slippery but other than that, it makes me feel like I'm in hawaii! the male lifeguard with the dirty blond hair made really funny jokes :) in fact, the cliff jumping has four levels which is perfect for people who are afraid of heights! read more

I definitely would not have a wave pool and have a cement floor without padding. Saw 2 people get hurt injust the 3 hours we were there, our daughter was one of them. I would also not have diving areas were you are able to jump or dive without the pool being clear from others that had just jumped. And $22. to rent a boogie board?!?! Thats just so wrong. And the lifeguards, this is a joke. They are all so worried about how they look, instead of actually watching and doing their job. read more

Revel Surf - Boogie boarding for years. You are still going to have a fail or two. So having cement bottom and no padding, injuries are inevitable. - Water Parks Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I had a very disappointing and embarrassing experience at Rebel Surf Park today. I purchased seven passes for myself and my children, and we arrived excited to spend the day there. At some point the park said they were "bum rushed" by people entering without tickets, and things became chaotic. Instead of properly handling the situation, staff began forcing people to leave due to capacity. Unfortunately, my children and I were among the people told to leave, even though I showed staff our purchased tickets. Meanwhile, it appeared that some of the people who entered without paying were allowed to stay, which was extremely frustrating. The situation was handled very poorly. Staff members were confrontational and seemed to think I was someone else, and I felt harassed and embarrassed in front of my kids. We were rushed out so quickly that my son had to leave his sand toys behind and was crying, which made the whole experience even worse. As a parent who paid for seven passes, I expected better organization and customer service. Being treated like we had done something wrong when we had legitimate tickets was humiliating. I hope Rebel Surf Park improves their crowd control and verification process, because customers who actually paid should not be the ones being removed when the park becomes overcrowded. Very disappointing experience. read more

We were there at 1:00 pm today to celebrate our 44th anniversary. We sat at a table facing the surfers, after 15 minutes we noticed a table that had come in after us had their menus and water. The table next to us said "Good luck getting service, they are awful". I finally asked an employee who was walking quickly by for menus. 10 minutes later she handed them to me and walked off. After 15 more minutes with no employee in sight, we gave up and walked to a nearby pizza place called Russo's where we were greeted at the door and received excellent service. Don't waste your time at Revel Surf. Go to Russo's instead. read more

Horrible and beyond racist waitresses at the restaurant. When asking anything, they would look at you with disgust and as if you were an alien. It made me and my family feel very uncomfortable. It even came to our attention that everyone else had fancy water cups and they gave us plastics ones because they heard an accent when speaking. Food service took beyond long. Food not worth the price. I find it extremely unfair that you go to these places trying to have a good time, and you encounter people mistreating you as if you were trash. If you are going to be racist and picky with people based on their look, don't work in a family friendly place. read more

Great community and employees. It feels like Florida in Arizona. The location is convenient too with great shopping all around

I wanted to absolutely love it here, but there are many issues they need to handle. First of all, there's nothing on the website that says if you purchase the evening pass that there will not be waves? We could've just stayed at our pool then. Second, parking is in the dirt, which it also doesn't say. So don't come in a freshly washed car or convertible or for me, my slingshot. Third, it doesn't say that there's construction going on everywhere, so it doesn't look or feel ideal. Fourth, we contemplated just getting a cabana & we are so glad we didn't. $500 to park in the dirt, tons of construction around, no waves going on, no direct beach or water walk in access, & nothing comes with it? Way overpriced. And fifth, but not least, we ordered a round of drinks which were actually pretty good & each one was $14ea. We ordered a second round of the EXACT same drink & they were $18ea???? We caught it after the fact on our receipt. Not cool read more

As a Hawaii resident, I was excited to see this open and couldn't wait to check it out. It's a nice facility but it is unfortunately not affordable for most to surf. The water is also freezing and requires a wet suit during the winter which is another cost to rent. The mom I sat next to spent $442.50 just on lessons for her family that day. She shared how she can't wait to keep coming for sessions and it just left some of us feeling sad that unless you have a lot of money it's not an activity that others can engage in frequently. It is $147.45 for a learn to surf with tax. It would be nice if they could make this place inclusive for everyone in the community, especially for those that don't have hundreds to drop to surf. A suggestion is maybe a military or teacher half off discount or maybe a few hours in the middle of the week at a discounted price if they have open slots. Really hoping to see some other price points in the future so more can fall in love with this sport. There is so much potential to make this place available and inclusive to all surfers in Phoenix! read more

Ordered the slides/fry and tenders/fry combo. The two tenders weren't very crispy, and the portion felt a bit underwhelming. I get that entertainment venues tend to upcharge, but most at least make sure you leave feeling satisfied. If cutting back on protein is the plan, maybe balance it out with a more generous portion of fries. A little extra crunch and a bit more food would go a long way in making this a better experience! read more

Went there to check it out and ordered 2 beers and 2 soda waters with lime. We got our drinks and server never came back for food order. Then we got our check! $4.00 for 2 soda waters!

My husband took a beginner surf lesson here. He enjoyed it and the instructors seemed kind and knowledgeable. It was strange that they put slippery tile between the "beach" sand and sitting area. I was disappointed that my root beer float was made with soft serve ice cream. The food and admission were overpriced. The bathroom was filthy. While my husband would like to return for another lesson. I have no desire to return. read more

The wave pool is down on Mondays and Tuesdays for maintenance. The website should probably mention that before people spent a ton of money renting out cabanas. read more

Actually, this is no big surf (if you remember that Scottsdale Beach adventure land back in the 1970s) it is a lot smaller than I anticipated, but it is a beach nonetheless. If you need to reach the beach and you don't want to drive 4 to 6 hours to spend a day on the sand in this place will work for you in the interim. Plus they have food drinks. You can order if you just wanna watch the surfers and the divers have a blast! read more

We went for a friends birthday because we were very excited for the live music and food looked good online. They messed up the order and the waitress couldn't care less. Twice they didn't even know who or what was ordered for drinks. She was rude and nowhere to be found most of the evening. I understand this is a surf park but if you are trying to get people for dinner or happy hour you should up your service. Very disappointed! read more

Amazing place my granddaughter had a blast fun place had a great time watching surfing in Arizona

But there was one guy bartender who made me wait for my food for an additional 5 minutes as my fries got soft in their little heater. All he had to do was grab it and hand it to me. I had already paid and tipped. He was very condescending and not helpful at all. Other than that 5 stars. read more

Closed kitchen 2 1/2 hours after opening. Sucks since you aren't supposed to bring food in and even if you have a wristband, you can't leave and come back. however. Life guard situation is terrifying in my opinion. Not enough of them and one of them completely left his post for a couple minutes with no other eyes in the jump area and then chatted with another guard for quite awhile while he was at his post. My boys had fun... it's water but we won't be back any time soon. We will spend our time and money at golf land sunsplash. Miss our Big Surf. If you go to experience, it definitely smuggle your food in. read more

Decent family day. I wish there were spots to just chill and have some drinks in the water. It was great to have a cabana, but it did not come with "light refreshments" as advertised. Not a huge deal, but amenities should match what's advertised (especially with a $500 price tag). Looking forward to when more of the area is built up. Not sure if I'd return before that... read more

The owners must have huge pockets and not see the value of a sustainable pricing model. How do you really expect a family to spend 130 plus dollars on a one day visit. It's not sustainable....how many surfers are going to keep you in business ? You need to offer a 150 ish monthly pass for family members and make the money on food and other options. I don't see this business around in a couple of years otherwise. read more

Hit Revel Surf park up today, really cool spot. The beach area is excellent super fine sand and tons of chairs. There is a jump lagoon that has 4 different platforms to jump from and honestly the highest is terrifying. I don't check out the surfing, but for sure want to come back and try a lesson. They have a restaurant and bar onsite and I will say the grilled Mahi tacos did NOT disappoint! Honestly really cool spot in Mesa. read more
