Dive Day Club

Well that was fun! Lots of seats and cannas for rent. Plentiful towels. Awesome lazy river feature. Plenty of hot tubs. The pools were amazing but I thought they could be a little warmer. Drinks were over priced but delicious. The music was HORRIBLE like a pre teen picked it out. Would love to spend another day here and would absolutely recommend.

I guess this place doesn’t like making money. I was a guest here in the past and went to dive and had a blast! So much fun we came next year. So many horrible changes! As a guest I had to pay and cash only! There goes some of my gambling money. Then I order a drink and I can’t charge my room. I’m pissed!!! So I go up to my room to get my card and they tell me there is no re-​entry. How the heck am I supposed to drink and spend money??? So I spent $ 25 to swim at a pool??? I don’t think so! I finally told them that they are making it impossible for me to spend my money and it doesn’t make sense. They finally let me go to my room to get my card (the same card they would use if they just let me charge to my room). Finally I just decided to have fun and drink but I don’t know if I want to come back. Gareth the bartender was awesome!

I recently spent my Bachelorette day at this pool party event. Me and girls paid Vagas prices and did have a good time but i would never recommend VIP at this event to anyone. If you go take the bus and get your tx online a week before. We were told it would be $ 780 for the cheapest option of vip, then we stood in line for about 45min to get in! The regular line was moving faster than vip, What a joke. Then they tell me that they will be charging my card $ 900 gratuities paid up front. They made it so complicated and unorganized. So we finally got settled and bottle poppin by 245 and get this they shut the whole thing down at 6PM! I mean they kick everyone out of the pool (its all over). Then we shelled out $ 300 for a regular room. So at 6pm we were all ready to party and there is nothing to do out there except gamble and eat at those crappy restaurants.
SHOULD HAVE GONE TO VEGAS.
PS i will go again but for $ 25.00 instead and take the bus back home.

Worst employees through Elite. Worst customer service. Very disorganized. The server Katrina reminded us of our minimum so she could get her commission of the 20%. Staff needs education about customer service.

I have mixed feelings about my experience. We had a cabana and it took us about 45 minutes to get it. The cabana/​vip line was longer then the general line which i thought was ridiculous. The bathrooms are a bit of a weight and pretty damn small. overall I had a good time. we ordered fries, chips and dips and chicken strips which were around $ 10 – 12. music was good and it really comes down to the group you are with.

I came here for one reason. Snoop Dogg.
My husband and I got tickets because we figured Snoop’s getting old and who knows when he’ll tour again.
We bought one tumbler to share for 25 $ and refills for 15 $
They make the drinks pretty dang strong so we only needed 2 drinks before we started getting buzzed.
The pools were fun and pretty clean for a pool party.
The lazy river is the best part! Def don’t bring your phone in there I saw too many people walk out of the river with broken phones.
I am not giving 5 stars for 3 reasons.
1. When opening a tab, you MUST continue ordering from the bartender that opened your tab. We tried ordering from another bartender and he told us to wait for the bartender that opened our tab. Uhm ok.
2. We checked my bag in and paid for unlimited checks, my husband went up to the girl and asked her if he had to wait in line to get something out of the bag, she flirtatiously said no, she just needed to see the wrist band (which I was wearing) so I went up and she looked at me and said «If you’re trying to cut, you need to tip.» To which I responded, «my wallet is in my bag, so your system seems flawed here.» She angrily threw our bag at me. Resulting in 0 tip. Thanks for flirting with my husband though…
3. When buying tickets, they give you a promo code to pass along to other friends for discounted tickets. After so many friends buy a ticket you get your money refunded back for your own ticket. Still haven’t seen any money back, but I can’t really complain about that. We had a really great time.

San Diego needs more day clubs!
As a day club, I would rate Dive a 4 star. As regular pool season, I would rate it a 5. I have been to Dive about 2 – 3 times while day club hours. But honestly, I like regular pool season more. I could enjoy myself better, not as crowded and service is better.
Dive is comparable to Vegas day clubs on some levels. The venue, energy, crowd, its all there. I love the lazy river. I love that there are multiple pools. The drinks are yummy and definitely more affordable than Vegas day clubs. I normally just share a souvenir cup with a friend for $ 25each cup. Refills are $ 15 (Its a pretty big cup). Their virgin Pina Colada mix is sooo good!
Things that can be improved for that last star for a perfect review would be.
Music could be better and the way it’s setup could be improved. Main bar could be more organized. They could hire some better bartenders. I get its busy and crowded. But in a environment like that, you need to be aware who has been waiting the longest and be as efficient as you can. Dive needs something to make their parties stand out more. There needs to be more of a VIP feel, instead of a big college pool party. Don’t get me wrong, I love going to Dive, its always a fun time. But when I leave and get home, I don’t really think twice about my day at Dive.
They also make you dump out whatever beverage (alcoholic or not) when leaving the pool back into the casino. I didn’t like that, nor do I understand it. They serve alcohol on the casino floor. I can understand if they didn’t, but that isn’t the case here.

We went on a Sunday w/​a featured DJ playing her set in the afternoon. We pre-​paid our tickets online and this limits the entire pool area to adults. While a day club isn’t typically my scene or of particular interest to me, we had a good time with our group and would recommend a visit on a hot summer’s day. People were genuinely having a good time and we didn’t feel the burn of shallowness from the crowd.
Security is extremely tight and ubiquitous. This is a good thing for those who are concerned about people not handling their booze well. I can’t imagine you’d last very long before being escorted out if you were overly intoxicated. Upon entry, they check every bag and subject everyone to a pat down. You’d have to be pretty committed to sneak any booze into this place. Drink beforehand or pony up.
You don’t need to bring a towel. They have plenty. Cabanas are very expensive to rent out (I believe it’s a $ 1250 drink/​food minimum). We arrived early enough to secure a row of pool chairs and enjoyed our front row seats by the lazy river.
It really started to fill up around 2pm, so arrive early and enjoy the calm before the storm.
The lazy river was a highlight. While it’s not very long, there are waterfalls, tubes, beach balls, and you get to meet the neighbors.
Drinks are expensive. It is a ‘club’ after all. Beers were reasonable ($ 7 sculpins/​$ 6 coronas, for instance), but the mixed drinks in the keeper-​plastic-​cups were around $ 25. Refills were $ 15.
Overall, a good experience and cool little place to keep your Vegas bug in-​check. Would recommend to a group of fun friends who want to do something a little different on an upcoming weekend.

Loved the outdoor pools, cabana and food and drink service here. Came here to chill out on the Fourth of July, and considering it was a holiday weekend, the prices were not too crazy. 270 for a beautiful cabana (up to 10 ppl, although they were not very strict about quantity), which included water, trail mix, TV, a safe in Cabana, towel service, lots of seating, private lounge chairs and Stella (not the beer, but our awesome server).
If you don’t have kids, then take my advice and stay within the 21+area. Very relaxing, swim up bar is centrally located, and great live music.
You can also use the lazy river, but it’s pretty crowded and after 2x around you’ll want to head back to the adult pools.
Rita’s cantina served up great bar, pool food. Everything but chips were great. For some reason the chips were stale; otherwise the food was great.
For beverages, I highly recommend their mojitos and/​or Cadillac margaritas. Also you’ll save a little if you purchase their drink cup, $ 22 first time around, then I think $ 12 refills. Plus they guarantee to make the drinks strong, otherwise take it back and they will repour. Also, next time around you can bring back the dive sippy cups and keep ordering at $ 12.
Highly recommend if celebrating a fun occasion with friends or just wanting to relax.
Oh…only way to get in is to stay at the hotel, or rent the cabana or daybeds in order to use the pool. However, your rental price is all day (10am-​6pm), so gather a few friends and enjoy!
Ps…I hear Sunday’s is adult only. 21 and up. Purchase tickets, and like a spring break/​havasu party vibe with DJs etc.
If you’re like me, just wanting to relax, then stay away from dive on Sunday’s! Lol!

I love this dayclub! Better than vegas ones. Everybody has to pay to get in so their are no guest lists. Renting a locker for your clothes is $ 15. DO NOT BRING YOUR SELFIE STICK. They will not let you bring it in.
Drinks are $ 25 when you get that nice orange dive cup. But you get $ 15 refills.
What I love about this day club is that they have a lazy river. This was my favorite part of the whole thing. They also provide towels so you don’t have to bring your own.
The downside is that all of the benches and tables are all reserved for bottle service people so your most likely going to hold everything you bring.

I went here once before, for a Unilocal Elite Event. Went back yesterday with my bf and another friend. It was pretty good… my complaints are few.
The friend we went with is a member in the players club, so we booked a room for Sunday night, as we knew Dive Dayclub would make it impossible to drive home at the end of the day. Apparently booking a room used to come with 2 free entries to Dive, but it does not now. So we all had to pay $ 25 to enter.
The selection of beers is limited, was a complaint from the guys.
However, I was able to pretty much drink my ass off all day, I found the selection to be just fine. I didn’t see any place to get food. Maybe there is food available somewhere, but it was not highly visible… with that much drinking, food would have been a good idea. Considering I got cut off by the bartender at the end of the day LOL. Maybe if I had a sandwich I’d have been more sober. But, we were staying the night, so we chilled in the room a bit and went to dinner. All good.
And, you can’t go out and come back in. So, if you want to go inside and eat, gamble, etc you are not allowed. I understand they don’t want people going to their rooms and drinking, since they want to be the ones supplying all the booze and overcharging for it. But, still annoying. And my friend found this out when he was aiming to go inside to get food, and had a beer with him… additionally you can’t take a drink out with you. Which was irritating. Can’t bring them in, of course. But can’t take them out? Why not?
We would go back, it’s only about 45 min away from us, and knowing ahead of time that we need to eat decent meals before we go, will make it a better experience next time. It’s definitely fun, lots of eye candy.

I had an amazing time at Dive! I spent a long weekend at Harrah’s and soaked up the sun and cocktails in the swim up bar! I was NOT there for the Sunday Pool Party I was there Thurs and Fri. The bartenders were great and REALLY accommodating! Their menu has something for everyone! And their tumbler drinks are a great value! I can’t wait to go back!!!

I love spending my Sunday’s at Dive Day! The Service, music, & Drinks are always top notch & the LED wall is sick. If you want a mini get away Harrahs is the place to go, indulge in a Piña Colada (or whatever) at the swim up bar & don’t worry about driving home because rooms are very reasonable.
I recommend Dive Day Club to all my friends, Hands down the best pool party in San Diego.

Went to opening day yesterday and sadly it was a disappointment. I knew a promoter that got us in quick so that was cool. Went inside and went straight to the bar. Literally took me about 40 minutes to get my first drink at the bar. The guy who was bartending was obviously getting frustrated and overwhelmed by the amount of people wanting drinks. I mean there was only 3 bartenders at the main bar for opening day! That was ridiculous. The bartenders name was Rodney I think because all I heard around me was people yelling his name behind me and yelling out their drinks. He literally took everyone that was behind me and came after me before he took my orders. I was really frustrated and mad at the fact that this happened.
Next time, please get more bartenders at the bar so this wouldn’t happen. Or at least show some respect for those that were waiting at the bar first. After I got my first drink, I ended up getting bottle service anyways.

This is super fun! I suggest to come when it’s warm and sunny but this cloudy rainy day is fun too! Here to celebrate a bday. The food is not great but not horrible. Get the dive tumbler and keep refilling. Cabana for 10 peeps $ 300. Comes with a little fruit bowl and water. TV Too. Bring your own speakers for when the dj or band is not going. The reggae band was supposed to start at 1. It’s 230. They have been setting up for an hour… So that is not great but I still recommend. The manager Joe has been super cool. We had a bee infestation in our cabana and they moved us. Amanda our waitress has been super sweet. Nachos good and big. Drinks good do far. Bottom line. Having a great time. Showers cold! Beware! I came last summer and it was so fun. So packed. Unlike today. The have floaties and inner rubes.

Best pool venue & party on Sundays in California, hands down!
is my favorite by far! Closest thing to PALM VEGAS, a true hybrid in our backyard w/​some of the best DJ’s/Live Performers/​Entertainment only an hour away!
& Five Grp always do it right and you can count on them to bring the same excitement w/​the move of the day club from Saturdays to Sundays!
My favorite parts of the venue are the:
— swim-​up bar
— hot tubs
— cabanas
— daybeds
— LAZY RIVER!
— and a HUGE Pool
— not to mention the fact that I can hit the tables and gamble when i want to take a break from Dive
— newly remodeled and added rooms/​towers
— concerts
There is a difference in Monday — Saturday are relaxed and more of a chill environment w/​out the 2000+ people out there, and are more resort focused w/​Harrahs SoCal providing something for everyone complimenting this awesome venue.

So sad today. I have to post a new review for Harrah’s because I have recommended SO many people to go here for the pool and I just found out that with the exception of the Dive Day Club on Sundays starting May 17, they are no longer allowing non-​guests to use the pool. This is such a disappointment because it was the only place in the area where you could enjoy the use of the pool for s small fee, have a swim up bar, 21 and over pools and jacuzzis, and excellent food for lunch. I typically would spend lots more than the $ 10-​$ 20 it cost to get in, so I can’t imagine why they would stop this, but for all the people who I have told about this awesome place, it is closed to you unless you book a room or a cabana. Man, I’m bummed.
If you’re staying there, though, my previous 5 star review still applies for you!

I have been to Dive three times already. Two out of three times was in a cabana. The cabanas are great, very spacious and accommodating equipped with a ceiling fan for that hot weather, mini fridge with free mini waters, a tv, comfy couches and outside pool chairs, and lastly a safe. It felt great knowing you can put personal belongings in there without them getting stolen. HOWEVER, items that were left outside the safe were taken from out Cabana… which is really sad. Maybe they can consider more security around the cabana areas? Hmmph, I don’t know.
Anyways, the overall experience only lost one star because of that. Even after things of my friends and I were stolen, I had a great time! We went for reggae Sunday. Great live music!

I absolutely had a blast here!
TICKETS:
First of all, tickets are extremely cheap. $ 20 for general presale with $ 5 service fee. Or combo it with shuttle bus for $ 40 plus service fees.
I swear the presale tickets don’t sell out until the day of the event even though there’s so many awesome artists performing! I went to see Caked Up for my birthday.
If somehow tickets are sold out, you can still buy tickets at the door for $ 25 !
THINGS TO KNOW:
Came here early around 1pm. Plentiful of parking and lines were not long at all.
Got our IDs and tickets scanned and entered within 10 minutes.
The only thing I did not like was that lockers are $ 15 each AND you don’t get to easily access the locker on your own. You must give your stuff to a staff to put it away and if you need something then they have to take your stuff out again just so you can grab an item.
SETTING:
Once you walk in, there is a photo booth background set up on the right that says «Dive» & «Harrahs» all over a large orange background that you can take pictures with your friends.
Kind of small stage but there is a large dancing area. To the left of the stage is the bar. I love the bar because you can order drinks from the side or you can go in the water. They have cylinder like stools in the water than you can sit on. You can either chill in the pool by the bar or you can head over to the lazy river.
The lazy river is awesome ! But beware, DO NOT bring any non-​waterproof item in the lazy river because there are waterfalls and water squirting out from each side. My friend dropped her phone and it did not end well.
There are plenty of tubes you can grab and if they run out, then grab onto an inflatable shark head or beach ball ! Those can be used as flotation devices if you have one in each arm.
There is also a smaller pool with a jacuzzi in the far back behind the lazy river.
DRINKS:
They have a full bar. My favorite drink was the Pina Colada mixed drink that you can buy in a souvenir Dive dayclub plastic cup with cover and plastic straw. Unfortnately that drink is not strong so you should ask for extra shots!
Overall, I had a blast dancing back and forth between the stage, bar and lazy river. Everyone had good vibes and everyone was there to enjoy the sun.

Dive Dayclub opens up again for the season in May and after the awesome time we had on multiple visits last year, we can’t wait!
There are a couple of theme days at the pool. Dive Dayclub is technically what it’s called for the pool party on Saturday when the whole pool complex is 21+ only. It’s Vegas (With better service!) in your own backyard SD! If you want the bottle service cabana situation you can definitely get it, or just snag your pina coloada at the bar and float in the lazy river all day long. They’ve got a pretty amazing DJ line up and the crowd is fun-it’s the kind of day you go and expect to be in the day drinking day club scene-​and you’re not gonna get 7 feet of personal space people, this is an event day, a party, and it gets to capacity so get there early and stake out your space if you’re in a group.
On Sundays, it’s reggae music and a more relaxed laid back vibe to match-​This is my personal favorite time to go, when the bar lines are smaller. Be aware kids are allowed back in the river on Sundays-​but the swim up bar and large pool are still adult only.
The food service is great-​tasty summer options from Rita’s Cantina and the pool menu make the day really perfect, and the bartenders know their stuff. I love the fact that I can get my Vegas fix in an hour now-​and if you over indulge, there’s the hotel right there with plenty of options for further fun-​Trust me, once you go you’re not gonna wanna leave.
