Intex Pacific Paradise Relaxation Station Water Lounge 4-Person River Tube Raft

We love it - It is huge. Because it is so big it is hard to inflate while on the boat. We have a 16' pontoon boat and this thing is 10x10. There is no room for people on the boat when it is inflated, so we hoist it on top of the bimini top (takes a couple people) and tie it down to move around. Yeah, we look like the Clampets driving around, but it works. After reading other reviews we were worried about putting a hole in it, but after several uses no problems - it is pretty tough, we are still careful and pay attention when moving it on the boat. We don't often sit on the seats, we like to sit lower in the mesh which puts you in a couple of inches of water where you stay cooler. An electric air pump is mandatory - there is no way to inflate without a pump - it;s too big. Bottom line... Love it!

I bought this to tie off a dock in a lake. I made sure to tie it up on the leeward (downwind) side so it wasn't rubbing against the dock all day. It felt study and could fit 5 adults (not exactly perfect but was still comfy). I am petite and could actually lay across one of the sides between the seats.The cup holders are shallow but still useful for cans. There's some nice netting on the bottom foot area which keeps out any creepy crawlies that might be attracted to your floatie. We did notice some air leakage on the first day which might have just been because of the vinyl stretching because it didn't deflate as much the second day. We were very careful to make sure we didn't brush it up against any wood or rocks and to make sure it wasn't rubbing against any metal dock posts because we want it to last. We also inflated in the grass and lifted it up to carry it around (rather than dragging it).You can't blow this up with your mouth. Just don't even think about it. It took about 20-30 minutes to inflate with our electric air pump.NOTE ON THE INFLATION HOLES: There are two caps on the inflation holes. The top cap (square on my model) covers a one-way seal that is ideal for inflating the tube- even if the pump hose comes off it won't lose air. The bottom cap (round on my model) lets air out when you remove it although you could use it when inflating the tube but you risk the hose falling out and losing air quickly.It takes about 10-15 minutes to deflate or about 30 if you're just letting the air go out on its own.

easy, fun and hopefully this one will not spring a leak!

I bought this in JANUARY and just unboxed it and filled with air. Then my son and I floated. It let the air out quickly. Blew it up again. Same thing. 3 uses and each time it deflated. Waste of $!!!! Bought it again as price and size are great and wanted to have for summer. Figured I did something wrong w first one. Second one only made 2 uses and won’t hold air. My son says the valve leaks

I'll start by saying the item came quickly. It's heavy (37 lbs?) and bulky. Once inflated it's a sight to see. I thought it was large and comfortable for 4 adults. The kids (ages 4-11) loved it! We told them to take it easy on it but after the 4th day they were getting rough with it, jumping up and down on the seats like it was a bounce house and a seam tore open. I've since patch the tear and it holds air for a couple hours before enough leaks out it gets soft. I also under inflated it a bit hoping another tear doesn't happen. It'll be interesting to see how long it last.So if adult used I'm sure you will get plenty of use. Don't let the kids rough house on it or it will likely tear.

We use this on a lake and we love it. We have 2 toddlers and the middle mesh area is like a swimming pool for them. The sides are wide enough that we don't have to worry about them accidentally falling out. It's also a great place to lounge in the water. All in all we are happy with this purchase. One thing to note is that this thing is a beast. We have one of those 4 D battery Coleman pumps and it couldn't really get it pumped up firm enough to be solid but enough to float. It's also difficult to carry with only 2 people while trying to keep it off the ground. Need at least 3 people to safely carry it. We used it with a 25lb anchor off one of the handles and it stayed put.

This was fun while it lasted... which is not very long. The first one we had held up for about a dozen uses before the inner mesh platform ripped away from the vinyl at the seam. Apparently it cannot support the weight of a 10 year old child who didn't realize you're not supposed to stand up on it. Oops. I tried fixing that with industrial strength waterproof tape but it didn't work. So I ordered a new one last year.Put the new one into service this year and it immediately started losing air. Multiple small holes and a mystery gash in the seam between the seat and the base. I spent a couple of hours finding and repairing the leaks with vinyl cement and repair patches. But apparently I didn't find them all as it STILL won't hold air. I can think of a lot better ways to spend my summer vacation than trying to find and fix holes in what is effectively a BRAND NEW PRODUCT. But because I didn't open it, test it and report the defects within 60 days, the company will do absolutely nothing for me.Garbage product. Garbage support. Know where it's going? Yep, IN THE GARBAGE!
