Tao Beach used to be the place to go when you wanted to pool party, but in the more recent years has feel behind Encore Beach Club and Marquee Day Club. It's probably due to the size of the place and the pool size (which you should almost say isn't even a pool). It gets extremely packed inside and unless you have a cabana or daybed reservation (for a fairly hefty fee), then you will have no place to sit down. In the past, we used to come here a lot and had cabanas and daybeds and every time we came we had a blast. In the more recent years, we have been going to other places that have bigger pools and more space to sit or lounge around. However, I must say that Tao Beach is still a lot of fun to go to with a group of friends during a hot summer day. The drinks are always good and the music/vibe is always pumping. I will warn you though that by the afternoon, the water in the pool does start to get a little murky.
