"There's an abundance of seating options, so you'll never struggle to find a place to relax. The bathrooms were clean, though a bit sandy (which is to be expected), but I noticed staff constantly cleaning up indoor sand. It's clear that the employees enjoy their jobs and are treated well by their management. The music is played at a perfect volume—loud enough to enjoy without being overpowering when you're trying to talk.
They have a great bar counter on the patio with stools for you to enjoy your drinks while watching matches. The bistro is a fantastic complement to a day spent playing volleyball in the sun—everything is fresh, with no fried food on the menu. My husband and I shared their steak nachos, and even then, we couldn't finish it; it was delicious and loaded with cheese! While there were plenty of other menu options, the salads looked especially enticing. And the frozen margaritas are incredible! The bar staff was courteous and attentive, and with two outdoor bars, we never had to wait long for drinks.
What I truly loved about this place was how comfortable I felt right from the start, even though it was my first visit. As a woman, it can be intimidating to wear comfortable outfits for beach volleyball, as we often face unwanted attention. That wasn’t the case here at all. I was pleasantly surprised to see many women in just sports bras or bikini tops, and even volleyball briefs. At one point, I needed to change because it got cooler in the evening, and for the first time ever, I felt completely at ease taking off my tank top to put on a hoodie without anyone staring. I was wearing a sports bra underneath, which can still be daunting, but it felt liberating. Plus, they have private security on site, which made me feel safer.
This place is suitable for everyone. During the day, there were plenty of kids enjoying the jumbo Jenga and Connect 5 sets while their parents participated in tournaments. The atmosphere was very family-friendly. In the evenings, it shifts more towards an adult vibe. Overall, I had a fantastic time and will definitely return the next time I'm in Colorado Springs. You should definitely check it out—you won't regret it!"
