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

We have used this 3 times now on the Potomac River. The 1st time we had a group of 16 people with this huge raft along with a double & several singles. We also had another quad raft that was a much older version of this one that my friend has had for about 5 years. The old one started losing air and after stopping twice to fill it up, the ladies on that one hopped on this one with us for a total of 8 women on this one quad. It had NO issues holding all 8 of us & continued our trip for another 2 hours with the 8 of us on it. It is amazingly fun & we LOVE that you can stay dry if you prop your feet up on the sides and your butt doesn't have to stay in the water for hours like on the single rafts. But, you CAN hop down in between the seats to sit on the mesh in the water if you want to. EVERYONE on the water compliments it and they always ask where it came from! So far, its held up great! I highly recommend this one!

This raft is absolutely amazing! We bought it for a float trip, but ended up putting it in the pool (it was cold). It says "seats 4", but you can easily fit 8-10 people in this. It is WAAAYYY bigger than I expected (I didn't read the dimensions). It will NOT fit flat in the bed of ANY pick up truck. Be prepared to blow it up when you get there, or have a way to tie it down well. We had a bunch of kids and adults jumping on this in the pool, and it withstood perfectly. The mesh in the middle is a thick plastic. I wouldn't put a heavy ice chest on it, but we were all standing on it, sitting on it, and walking across it without any breaks or tears. It's pretty durable. There are cup holders, but bring a beverage with a lid. When people are walking across this, your drink will tilt over some, but ours never fell out. The seats are very wide, and as I mentioned, you can sit on the mesh as well. We didn't try the ladder, but it looked like it would work as well as you can expect a rope ladder to work. Also- PSA: You won't realize how much time has passed when you're playing on this stuff. Wear sunscreen. Ouch.

This thing is huge. It'll easily hold four adults and virtually any number of children. Ours has a pinhole leak somewhere (We have to re-inflate it each morning) and the bottom tore out far too easily, but otherwise it's really cool.

I purchased the relaxation station with the $7 pump and have never looked back. I live in Florida and have used this inflatable 5 times (all in salt water) usually while parked at a sandbar and have it attached via 25ft rope to the boat, and as far as I am concerned it has already paid for itself. I usually go out with 5 or more people and this this is a hit on the ocean with everyone I have brought. It has held up extremely well and we have put it to the test; getting up on the sides (not the ladder), towing it behind my boat at idle speeds for 1/2 mile, plenty of rough housing... and it is still sound. Maybe I got lucky.... but I have ensured that it is not overinflated. Highly recommended and perhaps I had low standards but for the price, like I mentioned above, this thing has been a great purchase.

I had one of these four years ago that was twice as thick and much more durable. It lasted a long time and took a reasonable amount of abuse. This redesigned version is very noticeably much thinner and feels like a thin, cheap balloon when inflated. Soft and spongy in comparison to the thicker plastic of the previous version. The back rests on this version are so thin that when you lean backward they don't hold you upright. You end up pushing the backrest backward until you're laying down over it. Terrible design. Bought one and it came with pinholes in the seam between the backrest and the main body. A patch wouldn't hold in that area. Had it replaced and the replacement had the same problem. I'll be looking for another solution to a multi-person float station.

Took this on a camping trip to the lake. The kids had more fun on this than any other floaty, the dock, or the paddle boards. We used a battery operated pump to fill it. It didn't seem to take too long. The kids just did other stuff until it was ready. My kids are young to teens and they abused this pretty good on the water and it held up just fine. It was worth the money spent. Can't wait til next summer!

Quality is iffy. I bought this back several months ago in about Feb of 2016, and after one use on the fresh water lake at Lake Moultrie, SC at the Navy campground, "Shortstay", I notices a very slow leak that I could not detect where it was coming from. I just noticed that the thing was deflating over time. I'm 180 pounds and my then 5 year old daughter was probably 40 pounds at most. I returned it with proof of the label on the side of the float cut out and sent the photo to the vendor and they promptly replace it with another. Problem is that I've not had a reason to use the new one yet and so don't know what the quality of that one is. I'll have to update once I use that one, but so far, this thing is not boding welll.

We bought this so we can enjoy the lake on the water with toddlers. We had two two-year-olds and they played happily in the center of the tube while the adults floated. I would recommend buying something that inflates and deflates the tube quickly, because it's big. We also bought a sturdy container to store it in and keep in preserved well for next year. It comes with a ladder, but it doesn't tolerate hard use, it's just enough to help you get back in the tube if you're outside of it (it's what it is meant for). It had one small pinhole that was easily repaired with a supplied patch. I am not sure how the hole happened, it could have been there or it could have happened when we were inflating it in the grass. I expect it to last many more years on the lake! We are excited to use it next year, I'm happy with it!
