Fiesta Island

Everything about this island is perfect. Great quality. We use it at our property on the lake, tethered to the dock, adults and kids have a blast using it to lay out and swim to a from. Everything I hoped it would be when I ordered it. One caution, while it holds an army of people, it will take some of that same army as well to carry it, it is not light, nor small. So make sure you factor that in when you go to inflate because I would not want to drag it and risk a puncture. BTW the inflatable cooler is a nice touch and worked well.

Ours takes a beating with all the crazies at our lake, and it has held up great...pretty expensive, but if you want to add alot of people, you gotta spend the money, we have been very please with the quality and how it has held up!!!

I researched many different rafts, and I was looking for something that was high quality and could take abuse. So far, it has. I bought a Ryobi inflation / deflate device to make it easy to set up, and put away when finished. Inflates the 2 air chambers in about 10 minutes with this device. Its very comfortable with 1-5 people. I found that once you have all 8 seats filled its tends to sag in the middle, and you may feel like your sliding out of your seat. It does have a center float to stabilize the mesh bottom but tends to not help much at full capacity. Only real complaint I have is that its difficult to get into from the water, as it's quite large and will require some upper body strength. I really enjoy this raft, and I think you will too!

I ordered this for my family vacation after another one of their products failed (2 years old). Figured, try again since their products are popular. Got the package, and it was great... for one day. There was a visible flaw in the seam that burst open. We were not even on it at the time. We came down after lunch, and it was flat. My family was not abusing it, we barely got time to use it.... Tried the supplied patches (followed the directions), they lasted for 10 minutes. Under inflated it, still did not stick. I did return it and schedule for another one to be delivered. That showed up late. So, we never even inflated the new one. Total bust...While the quality felt fine, and it was what was advertized, it was a complete disappointment since I spent a large amount of money on something that lasted 24 hours, then the replacement was late. Will likely just return it for a full refund and move on...

We left it in the water all summer and it started collecting algae in the netting on the bottom. A bit of a pain to clean when we pulled it out but that's kind of expected, leaving it in fresh water on a river I guess!

The Fiesta Private Island is the best inflateable I’ve ever owned. We have had ours since 2013, and it’s gone from long drunken days on the Lake, to now being used as an aqua playpen for our 2 year old daughter. The mesh floor at the bottomed of this float is incredibly strong, and the float sits firm in the water- I’ve had over 1,000 lbs of humanity in it, and it didn’t have any issues. If I had to have one gripe, I guess it would be the only one corner tie up option. Besides that, this raft has been up to the challenge since day 1. Now, onto the price- it’s a bit pricier than others, but it’s lasted me 5 summers, and I don’t think you would get 5 summers out of the $100 range of options. Using the recommended pump, I am able to fill it up in less than 10 minutes.

I knew this was going to be a job to use and store. It weighs 80 pounds! I used the Coleman air pump to blow it up and that worked fine.The float is vinyl and stains easily. The sand turned several areas on the bottom orange. Other stains also appeared after the first use.Not sure of the longevity of vinyl so using caution when laying it out and folding it up.It was a chore to clean and to make sure it was dry before I stored it. I did not want mold from folding it damp.Takes 2 people or an hour or more for 1 person the deal with it.

Used it once for a 4 day period.Large enough for 8 adults and a bunch of kids. We all had lot's of fun, but also had to take turns to use it!!It's a little heavy, but probably due to the material that seems pretty tough!If you plan to have it at the beach, get an anchor heavy enough to hold it - the little sandbag that comes with it will not hold the island if it gets windy! Also,try not to drag it onto beach in order to avoid damage with stones and branches. Stay away from the waves!Clean it off well to preserve it - we reinflated it again and washed it off very good before we packed it for next years vacation.
