    This is how much guac comes with the chips and guac lol
    Natalie K.

    My family and I have been going to this pool for years. The staff seems to be at its worse. One lifeguard was on her phone at her post both days that I was there. She spends the majority of time looking around to see who may be watching. Defeats the purpose of having lifeguards, but maybe it's allowed i'm not sure. The other issue was with the servers. I think they now are supposed to only focus on cabanas. We were never approached to see if we needed anything. One of the days, we waited almost an hour for service. I finally asked one of the girls if we could order...she said she would come back and never did. This was on Thursday and it wasn't busy. I then went to the bar and sat for 15 minutes and wasn't greeted so I left. The next day we did get to order so that was a plus. The size of the guacamole that is served with the chips and guac is laughable.

    What a fun and amazing place to be for the 4th of July! Came her for their BBQ and poolside fun and fireworks! It was so much fun to see all of the people (and there were lots!) having fun with their friends and family. There was a DJ playing tunes and all I could think about was the line in "Field of Dreams", "Is this Heaven?" No it's Reno. What a special day. The pool was beyond packed. Not conducive to trying to do laps. But I did dunk in the pool, The water was warm. Really nice. You can rent a cabana. There are a couple of poolside bars for a cold brewskie. The fireworks were more than amazing. It was so great to be part of the excitement. Place this on your bucket list for a perfect Northern Nevada summer 4th of July treat. Such a memorable experience all around!

    Large outdoor set-up to please families and partiers. Bars, hot tubs, fire pits, sand volleyball, infinity pool and 2nd level 21+ party area. Live DJ and certain locations the sound level was high enough that made it difficult to relax or dream away. Nice city views and overlook to marina.

    Just an amazing day...thanks friends and Brit!

    Pro's: We're talking resort pool with excellent amenities and service for $20, local entry fee. Con's: Music just too loud where we were sitting. Go back?: Absolutely... During the week as I would avoid weekends where the pool would be occupied by many families. Sorry, I'm an adult... Don't like to hang with kiddos! More... Ok... let's start with Britt. Our server. I can end with Britt, too. Standby. I've heard about the GSR pool many times and heard great things but never went myself, after living here 10 years. I live in a condo and our pool is not open yet. I really needed some outdoor, sunshine, friend time and the GSR pool fit the bill. A dear friend invited me to go. Everyone...from the moment I had my bag checked by Security... (You guys are cute )and to walking out at the end of a beautiful day...a lovely experience. What you need to know is that you have full bar access and amazing servers and a great poolside menu menu. You can also bring in anything from GSR... Johnny Rockets food, Fat Tuesdays. Like I said above, in sort of the negative department, we chose chairs in the adult pool area and the music was just crazy loud for us. (FOR US...IF YOU WANT A JAMMIN' VIBE...YOU'LL LOVE THIS! THINK VEGAS POOL PARTY). In the adult pool area, to move away from the music would have required spending $ on cabana-like chair... Just didn't need to do that. I think mid week, non-adult pool, you could find a reasonably peaceful place to hang for the day and still get amazing service. This pool is an oasis in the desert, in obvious and yet not obvious ways. How would you like to feel like you spent the day at a resort for just a $20 entry fee and whatever food and beverage you consumed?. And there's Brit. And the other servers who, I am sorry, I cannot remember your name, because I had two Fat Tuesday daiquiris. Brit treated our party of four ladies like the royalty we needed to feel. She was conversational, kind, beautiful, beautiful in her heart, kind... Or did I say that? How about she's SUPER NICE! And she was nice to US! And we appreciated it! This place rocks.

    The Pool at GSR is a pretty good size pool with many different areas for kids or adults. The pool areas are bigger than most of the hotels with a Kids Splash area. Very nice setup! The pools are very clean and comfortable. I have enjoyed the whole pool areas very much! The Pool is operated at 50% capacity until further notice due to the pandemic. Bar services are available. You can order the drinks at the bar or they can bring it to you.

    Staff is very friendly and attentive drinks were amazing. The bar definitely should have some misters and fans considering the heat.

    Ask the Community - The Pool

    Can I take my yeti bottle in and snacks?

    No. Only thing allowed is unopened bottle of water

    What is the fee to use the pool if not staying at the resort? Where do you pay?

    Do you have to be a guest of the hotel to use the pool?

    No! $20 entry fee and they will search your bag.

    Is the pool heated and if so to what temp?

    Yes, but it varies depending on season. in the winter, it's set at a comfortable 80 degrees and it is amazing.

    Can I bring outside food?

    April, Thank you for the question. At this time, outside food and drinks are not allowed at The… Read more

    How much to rent a cabana? I have called, emailed and filled out the request form on GSR website. How do I reserve a cabana?

    It's 300-350 dollars. There's an email poolvip@grandsierraresort.com for questions. Not sure about daybeds

    Do the cabana/daybed rentals come with drinks? They said they would charge gratuity on top of the rental charge, which wouldn't make sense if I have to buy my drinks at the bar and tip them there.

First of all, they violated the teenage girls by lifting there shirts and looking at they're bathing suits bottoms. From the looks of the other reviews this isn't their first time making customers feel uncomfortable. The girls complained to us about how they told them not to!!! Then they tried to say we were trespassing but we paid our fees $4 each kid (12 kids all together) and then they told us we had to leave without giving us a refund. I will never go there ever!! They treated us very unfairly! I don't understand how they didn't check the kids at the door. They took the money with no problem, let them swim for a while before they were approached by the rude staff!! Very rude staff and management! I don't recommend taking your kids there!!

First of all, they clearly stated the rules before entering the pool & actually enforced them. For a mom of younger kids to have clear rules enforced was amazing; my kids were never accidentally hit or pushed by older kids. They have 3 water slides and they will allow kids of all ages on them but no life jackets or goggles on the slides . The slides drop into about 3.5 ft deep water so they will catch the kids at the bottom if needed and walk the young ones to the top of the slides too. There is also a baby pool that's is 1-2 ft deep and is slightly warmer than the large pool. There was a life guard on all 4 sides of the pool and they rotated frequently, they really paid attention and made sure everyone was safe. The pool & facilities were clean and seemed very well taken care of. We will definitely be back! FYI they have life jackets available to borrow for free, only coast guard approved floatation devices allowed in the pool, no snorkels or flippers are allowed.
