I ordered the deluxe hammock in July and it is amazing. Canvas material, sturdy mesh, handles, bag. It's perfect. So perfect, I came back in August to buy another. What I received on the EXACT same order was the equivalent of a piece of plastic. It came in a clear plastic wrap, not the same packaging as the name brand. It was the same print, but was terrible odorous plastic material, with a terrible mesh. No handles. No bag. I am appalled at this level of bait and switch and fraud for this knockoff. You can see the knockoff versus the actual product in my photos."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This was purchased to replace an older version of the same product. On our last international trip, I mistakenly failed to wash and completely dry the last salt water off my well used and beloved float prior to packing it in the suitcase, causing it to become stained with mildew or mold. As a frequent traveler and germaphobe, I’m grossed out by the thought of using a pool float at a resort that’s been used by who-knows-how-many people. The deluxe water hammock is the perfect solution.\n\nI was pleasantly surprised to receive this replacement as it looks even nicer and comes with a storage bag the previous one didn’t have. Excellent for packing in a suitcase, lightweight and lays flat. Inflation is a cinch (less than 1 minute to inflate or deflate completely- no pump needed!), the plastic is thick and durable, and the fabric washes nicely and does not fade. Carrying handles are useful for keeping hands free when walking to the pool or beach. It’s so comfortable I can float for literally hours, and this has become one of my can’t-leave-home-without-it travel necessities.\n\nBe sure to thoroughly rinse and dry after using in sea or lake water prior to packing in a suitcase. Once home I use a sponge and vinegar/water solution then rinse. If needed, a deep clean can be done by diluting 2 tbsp bleach/1 gallon warm water, agitating with a scrub brush. Rinse well and dry completely before storing.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Bought 1 last year and used it constantly in the lake. Colors stayed bright. Even after sitting all winter in a spare bedroom it had not lost any air and we put it right back into the water this year. Had guests fighting to use it so ordered another one this year. Be careful not to buy the cheaper one as it's plastic and not fabric covered like the resort quality one for $33. Worth every penny! Had a guest weighing 250lbs and it held her up perfectly! The outside fabric pillow area opens up on the side with velcro so you can reach the blow-up valve on the inner vinyl bladder. (Someone cut a hole in their pillow thinking the value was sewn inside). Very excellent quality! The nice fabric does not rub or stick to your skin like vinyl floats do. Will possibly have to buy more as these are everyone's favorite float."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I purchased and used the inepensive Monterey Hammock previously, and we loved them so much we decided to upgrade this year to the deluxe resort quality hamoock, and I am glad we did. The deluxe model is the same design as the basic model, but the fabric pillows are more comfortable than plastic/vinyl, and the netting is definitely thicker and stronger, and coated in a soft rubber that makes it feel softer on skin (think non-skid shelf liners for a tool box, but not as puffy). The basic model (which goes for about $15) lasted us 2 full summers. Of all the pool toy and floats we've had, the hammocks have been used more than any other. They eventually sprang a leak, but they had over 6 or 7 months of daily use across 2 summer seasons. Honestly, I didn't expect them to last even that long. I've seen some of the tears and quality issues reported by other users, but we didn't have any problems. We did treat them pretty gently, and mostly kept the kids from using them for anything other than relaxing. That being said, the deluxe model is definitely more comfortable and seems much studier. Overall, I would say that both models are ridiculously comfortable to recline on, but if you are on a tight budget or buying for children, get the cheaper model. If you are looking for a sturdier and more premium experience, the deluxe model is defintely several steps up in quality and durability. Either way, these hammocks transformed our pool experience by making it comfortable for adults to lounge in for longer periods of time. While the kids play for hours, my wife and I can relax and enjoy ourselves too."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I bought the Aqua Deluxe Resort Quality Monterey Hammock, 4-in-1 Multi-Purpose Inflatable Pool Float . Hesitated at first because of reviews on inflating and trust me absolutely no issues and I'm close to 70! Was not hard at all. I think some people are not quick enough to close the plug but try again... it does close correctly.\nLove it, and easy to get on. and floats very well. Can turn it around a few different ways and even cross in front of you to do leg exercises. Easy to straddle and lean back on.Going to order 2 more.\nOh forgot to add the inflatable headrest slides inside the pocket and will be easy to remove to wash the float when summer is over.. Will fold up small & nicely and this one came with a carrying bag to store in."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "This is one of the best pool floats I have ever purchased. It floats easily - you can sit with blow up floats under your arms or under your head and knees! Stays blown up.. so comfortable. It's a win/win/win in my opinion. PS... We purchased 2 of the regular length and 2 of the XL length which works well for taller folks. They appear to be and feel like sturdy materials. The XL length has a more cloth like mesh - the regular size is a more of a soft plastic mesh - both are comfortable in my opinion. I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Thank you so much to those who posted about the knockoff's they received. Sorry that was you experience and glad you shared as it alerted me to pay attention to the type of material and brand to be received.\n\nI thankfully received the accurate one and love the design. Haven't tried it yet and will update the review if needed. But for now, all those thinking about it, just do it if you're a Prime members as you can just have it replaced if you receive the wrong one."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I really enjoy using this at the pool I go too. Not too hard to blow up and I am glad I bought the Deluxe one with fabric. It easy to get on and off floats very well. I also like when you are laying on it your body is down in the water not on top you rest your head and legs on the pillows, so comfortable.. It is easy to carry with the handles on it to and from the car. I can't understand some of the bad reviews on this, I might order another one."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "This pool float is awesome! Easy to inflate (just a few breaths into the pillow on either side and you're good to go) and really comfortable!! The plastic pillows are covered with durable fabric so you don't stick to the pillows and you don't get burned when it's been out in the sun for a bit. The mesh keeps you cool as it allows the water to touch you and you can float around forever! My kids love it too - easy to get on and lots of different options as to how to use it. I'm buying 3 more for the family!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I wanted a Pool float .. but I had a list of requirements!!\nObviously - comfort was tops. I LOVE the versatility of this one - and that I am not sliding all over it! It allows me to stay cool in the water - yet still be floating!!\nThe Material and the webbed center are much more comfortable to me than a standard plastic float. I have sensory issues, so the feel of everything matters to me!!\nIt is so much easier to get on and off than a typical pool float or mattress. I love that you can sit up and straddle it also to keep an eye on the kiddos!\nThe next requirement - space and storage. This is PERFECT! It also comes with a nice bag to store it in. you just take out the 2 pillows from each end and deflate them and roll it all up and put in the bag! I dont have to worry about it getting dried out or sun faded or getting poked by something making a hole!\nThe colors were perfect too!!\nIt cost a little more than I wanted to spend - but found an open box on amazon warehouse and decided to just do it. I was so glad I did!!'}]
