How do you take a great nightclub and make it better?  Add a pool of course!\n\nI've been a long time fan of Tao, bottle service there is the best.  So I was excited to finally have the chance to try out Tao Beach.  We opted out of the day beds and cabanas (which on Sundays are fairly reasonable in price) and went with some reserved chairs.  Tao Beach is on the small side, it was actually a lot smaller than I expected.\n\nWe arrived every early, so early that there was still morning yoga going on.  Its kind of annoying, and none of the guys working there like it either.  We were all just kind of waiting around for it to end so we could get on with the day!  Once the DJ was set up, everything was great.  Great music, the bartenders were friendly, it never got overcrowded, employees walk around and give out Fla-Vor-Ice (who doesn't love Fla-Vor-Ice?!) and the other patrons were all really friendly.  It just kind of felt like you were at a good friend's backyard pool party. \n\n2 notes.  I thought the cocktail waitresses were really off, which surprised me since every other employee I have encountered at Tao and Tao Beach has been friendly and professional.  They just never came around, even when we were the only people there.  We just got all our drinks at the bar because it was easier.  And yes, the construction going on over the bar area is an eyesore.  But just face the pool and you won't have to see it.
