Crowded, soooo crowded. And you can't find any shade so you get to pay $75 / item, like an umbrella, comfortable beach chair, or swing for the $350+ cabana. You know, things you'd expect to have at a premium resort included with the $40 "resort fee" Not a good value. Headed to Cabo next time, or I'll research hotels better next time. Never coming back.

Very enjoyable time with lots to do! Plenty of free lounge chairs to sit in. Towels are at front of entrance. There is a lazy river, wave pool, kiddie pool, pool, and spa. All was very fun to get in. Only complaint was the water was freezing But somewhat refreshing at the hottest point of the day. And the other thing was the fact that in the lazy river tubes are not complementary you have to go buy them at the store which is fine but they were $30 per tube. Speaking of the store the prices were a tad high but plenty of inventory and the staff were friendly. They have lots of life guards with lots of rules then again it makes since as you never know what will happen. The beach bar is nice to eat at whether you order and go lounge or sit down. Everything is very clean and fun. Overall pretty good pool area or I guess beach!

The experience we had today was not fully satisfied because we couldn't find Juice at the store, only at the Bar and it was way too overpriced! Our kids was a little below the 48 inches and they didn't allow me to take them to the wave pool and made me go to another pool so they can swim ! It wasn't too bad of an experience the place just needs a little more work !

went for a concert at night. everything was great...only issue was people aren't ADA friendly...which isn't the venues fault... it's just that there should be an area that makes it easier for some if us to sit with our feet in the water too and people didn't want to give up a little space for you to enjoy. so, i had to go to the very end away from the stage and stand in the water... or pay for a cabana not ADA friendly at all

This was my first time staying here. Went just for one night so my 11 year old son could enjoy the pool area. Check in was fast and easy through the mobile app. Picked up our keys at the Mobile Checkin desk with no problem. Our room was on the 19th floor with a view of the airport, but for a rate of $89 I wasn't complaining. The room was a nice size with two queen beds. I really liked the bathroom, with its separate tub and shower and two sinks. We didn't realize though to around 10 pm that the heater wasn't working. We called and a person arrived in less than 5 minutes with 3 blankets. He checked and confirmed that the heater was broken and called an engineer, who arrived in less than 5 minutes. He was the nicest person in the world. An older gentleman, he apologized for the inconvenience. We had some small talk while he worked on the heater. He asked how long we were staying and if we were going to the Shark Reef on Saturday after we went to the pool. I said yes, and then he surprised me and said that we could go to the Shark Reef on him. Her gave us a free comp for 3 to the Shark Reef. I was totally surprised, and thankful. I had read about how service oriented the Mandalay Bay staff were, and I got to experience it first hand. As I write this I'm laying out under the (cloudy) sun in front of the lazy river at the Mandalay Bay Beach. I got here a little after 9 am and barely anyone was here. I had my choice of free beach recliners so it was easy to grab the 3 I wanted. The beach area and pools are definitely impressive. I can imagine it becomes a mad house during the summer. Another cool feature is they offer a guaranteed late check out at 3 pm for only $50, so we don't have to rush to be at the pool and check out by 11 am. This has definitely been worth the 4 hour drive here.

MGM Grand has a better pool complex. The Mandalay Beach is nice enough. Not possible to get shade at the beach unless you pay for an umbrella and chair; the free ones are plentiful but in full sun. Wave pool is ok. Lifeguards will not let you stand in the water Unless you go deeper than waste deep. Not outside drinks allowed but the security doesn’t check super hard. The different pools and lazy river are nice. Overall pool is great but seats, food and drink are pricey.

If you're already staying at Mandalay Bay... check out the Mandalay Bay Beach. You're probably already paying the resort fee.... so check out the pools here: Life Guards everywhere... 1. Check out the wave pool. It's fun.. and feels totally safe. 2. Lazy river is fun too.. just let the river take you around and around. 3. Next to the wave pool is a kiddie pool. 4. Plenty of lounge chairs to kick back. 5. Donut floatie is about expensive at $30+ 6. There is a food court near the entrance as you walk into the 7. You can get a Cabana starting from JUST $650!!! Not sure why it's so expensive.. but I know it can fit like 10 people. Oh yea.. the water in the lazy river is cold. The water in the wave pool and kiddie pool is even COLDER. But.. you get used to it because it's so hot outside. Bring some sunscreen!!

The wonderful thing about this pool is that you don’t have to be a guest to stay at this pool. You can purchase a day pass or a lounge chair and get into the pool easily. However be prepared for the most randomly inconsistent rules. We were allowed to bring our GoPro into the lazy river but not the wave pool, however they are not worried about you bringing in things like your sunglasses or hat into the wave pool. You are not allowed to stand in the shallow end of the pool. You must enter in all the way. You are allowed to bring in water and Starbucks drinks but not any other outside food. If you are coming here for the wave pool it gives off one miniature wave every 3 minutes or so, it is not very fun especially since you can’t stand where the waves actually crash or bring in any floaties to the wave pool. The lazy river is quite short but very fun and rather fast. Was the highlight of the pool day for us.

Mandalay Bay Beach is amazing. Great for all ages, there was a very shallow toddler area. The wave pool was fun. The Lazy Tiver was beautiful and relaxing. They have a free water station so you can refill your water bottles. If you want to buy water ifs $8.00 for one bottle of water. I would recommend this, we had a blast.

Nice sand beach, wave pool and lazy river. Kids love it!

Wife and I had a really great time at the Moorea Beach Club from 11-1, almost all couples enjoying the atmosphere as it was intended. By 3pm there were a lot of single dudes lined up in the pool seemingly looking for a free show so we decided to call it a day. Service was great all day. Would suggest getting there early unless you don't mind single dudes staring.

Very family friendly. The pools are great and lifeguard are on the job at all the time to protect us...thank thank you

One of the best pools on the strip. I typically stay here or the Delano Hotel but their pool is way to small and service is ok. The Mandalay Bay Beach is better, overall just great, drinks are great, food is good and service is good.

Fabulous!! We had a wonderful time!! The pool was the perfect way to relax and cool down. Maurice was great!! The whole staff made sure our group of ladies were comfortable. And the skinny Pina Coladas are yummy! Great time! Will definitely be going back!

The Mandalay Bay beach is huge and beautiful to stay at and likely the only beach resort in Las Vegas! Unless you can sit in the sun all day I recomend reserving umbrellas, chairs or a cabana which are pretty pricey but worth every penny. We booked a Cabanna 3 months in advance of our stay for $325 and it was half the price of what it would cost to book on the day so worth every penny if you arrive early and leave later in the afternoon. The fridge was conatntly stocked with ice, soft drinlks and water, and the staff very attentive, providing, sun cream, a phone charger and extra rubber rings for my children, we had the best day!

This is one of my favorite pools to go when I'm in Vegas. It's a European concept, so that means it's top optional. you can't take pictures when you're there, the food and drinks are amazing.

Absolutely love this place. People are great. Staff is friendly and helpful. I have been more than once. I would highly recommend going. Worth the price for the experience you get.

Let me start off by praising the staff at the Moorea Beach Club, Sheldon and Destaney were great, we had a pavilion and they were extremely attentive. It was a great atmosphere and everyone was friendly. My wife keep her top on but I felt comfortable enough to take my top off and no one was judging me and I got rid my farmers tan a little. Extremely clean friendly and welcoming it was a great way for us to spend a Thursday on our 20th anniversary trip. We will be coming back the next time we are in Vegas. We were originally going to do a grand sun villa but thanks to the advice of Sheldon we book a pavilion and had a great time. I like to post pictures with my review but give the area and rules which we followed the only pictures I have are in my brain and since science hasn't figured out a way to retrieve them yet you will all have to wait. I will leave with this final note to all the teenager boys staying at Mandalay Bay with a pool view don't forget to pack your binoculars.

When booking a cabana it’s limited on number of people which is amazing unless you go when one of the “hosts” let their friends bring 22 people into the one 12 person cabana they rented. Made the pool that was limited to the those cabanas very crowded. The security and waitress weee all awesome.

Terrible hotel planning. Over crowed and over priced. Your so called resort fee gets you no perks. They over sell entrance passes. The Wave pool is slow and only produces one wave every 5 min or so. This is a money grab. There are much better locations to bring a family.

Love it. This pool has everything. It has elegant cabanas, fun for children, lots of wheelchair accessible areas, bars, sand, lazy river, adult only area, and a topless section. There are special events on the stage by the wave pool and the water isn't hot. On a regular basis, the water is clear with no trash in the pool. As a local, it is one of the best pools. You don't even need to leave for food because it is all right there. If you forgot your inner tubes, it's there and you can have it filled up. Forget sunscreen? It is sold right there with water shoes, water, and towels and bathing suits of all sizes.

Love the setting and atmosphere! Had a blast at the Cafaines concert! Plenty of good views even from the back of the crowd. There is a mini fast food restaurant and store to buy drinks and food.

I am bewildered that Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino here in Las Vegas has only a three-star overall rating. I've been to this hotel at least a dozen and more times and have never had any issues with my room's quality, the hotel's physical state or appearance, and the employees' service. While this MGM-owned hotel isn't quite up there with Encore, Wynn, or even Caesar's Palace, it's still a solid four-star hotel and experience. On this particular stay, I've received excellent service from the front desk staff to the room attendants and everyone in between. My room was immaculate, the hotel in general, fastidious, and the hotel followed pandemic regulations. I felt both comfortable and safe throughout my brief stay here. For anyone rating this hotel less than 3 or 4 stars, I can't imagine what they are displeased with? I hold a Caesar's Rewards players card, and so I don't come to MGM hotels often. I wish the MGM Players club card were competitive with Caesar's Rewards program so I could stay at Mandalay Bay more often and enjoy the less crowded northern end of The Strip. I especially enjoy the pools and beach club at Mandalay Bay during the summer months in Las Vegas. REVIEW AT A GLANCE RECOMMENDED: Good SERVICE: Good PRICE: $$ COVID: Practices pandemic regulations. PARKING: Convenient REASON/INTENT: Weekend stay

I know this is a resort pool, but I was still expecting a nicer experience. Everything is so packed together it's hard to enjoy your time. Also felt a bit dirty in general. Definitely did not have a comfortable afternoon. Though I'm sure there were other areas to go if you're willing to spend $400 on the day. I will say the drink service was well done!

For a hotel pool, this is pretty epic. The beach is HUGE. Even as big as it were, it was full. I came on a Sunday in June and we were bumping into people inside the wave pool and there was hardly any empty spots. The good thing was they had plenty of lifeguards watching over the masses and keep them in check somewhat. The waves were fun and I love that the water is cool. It's so hot in Vegas that sometimes, even the water is warm under the unrelenting summer sun, especially when it's chock full of warm bodies. They must be pumping in cold water continuously to keep it that refreshing. The lazy river was short and very crowded. We didn't want to shell out for the tubes but next time, I'll consider bringing my own tube. The water was not as clean or cool as in the wave pool though. It was pretty cloudy and warm. My friend walked on the sand and burnt his feet so keep those sandals on and bring your own tube if you want to do the lazy river.

Do yourself a favor and spend the extra money for a lazy river day bed or cabana (book online ahead of time) and then save some money by bringing your own pool tubes - they have a free “inflation station” where as MGM Grand will charge you $5. $200-250 for a River day bed gets you the bed, 2 chairs, an umbrella for shade, VIP treatment, and you can come and go as you please. 100% worth it. Food and drinks are expensive but so is everything else in Vegas. We do not have kids but it’s a very family friendly pool. If you can’t handle the occasional screaming kid, the Morea Beach Club is 21+.

The pool area and staff were amazing! Especially Sabrina! She helped out us out big time with a special request. I would recommend the Cabana to everyone to give you a break from the Vegas Sun. If you are not used to it, you can become sick very quickly.

This was very cool! We went for a concert and were able to stand in the pool.

We definitely enjoyed our time at Mandalay Bay Beach, but here are some tips and things you may find helpful before you go. I reserved a beach Gazebo online three days prior to my stay for $325 (weekday price). It looks like prices vary by date. Nevertheless, I checked back online the next day and the Gazebo now showed at $250. I immediately called, and was told they would honor the $250 price which they did. I saw a credit on my bank account after my stay. You get to pick your Gazebo once you arrive on site, not any earlier. #17 was on the end and already taken so I picked #18. I'm glad I chose #18 because if you're on the end, your right next to the walkway so there are people constantly walking by. There is a cabana staff that addresses any issues with the Gazebo, gets fresh towels, restocks complimentary iced water, and empties trash. There is also a wait staff that gets your food and drinks. The one issue I had was the cabana staff asked me around 1PM to sign off the bill which included providing the tip. I asked if I had to do it now considering we had an entire day left and she said yes. Once I signed off on the form, and gave a tip, I rarely saw the cabana staff. I did not like that, and felt pressured to tip off two hours of being there. On the other hand, the wait staff came around consistently, and asked for last call at 5PM when the pool closed at 6PM. They were a little slow with getting out the final bill but we had nowhere to be. I would definitely recommend getting a Gazebo to give you some relief from the sun. I saw two or three chairs by the waterfall in the lazy river that were near a tree that offered a bit of shade, but otherwise, you're baking in the sun. There were plenty of free chairs so there was no rush that day to get there by a certain time. Back to the lazy river, what a mess. Most did not use a tube. Thankfully, the Gazebo included two tubes in the price. So, you can't control the flow of the river so I was constantly looking down to make sure I didn't kick anyone in the head. The beach waves were fun. Wear shoes all the way to the lifeguard stand, and leave them there. The sand and pavement is ridiculously hot. No one was wearing masks outside as it's not required. All in all it was a good experience.
