"Our pool Party was yet again a great success! A new family (who was recently referred to us and brand new to our events) had commented about she liked how the lifeguards calmly interacted with the kids. She also said they were ‘laid back, but attentive’. Please thank them for us for yet again doing another fabulous job. Our families did appreciate this. We did hear MANY positive comments about how ‘beautiful’, ‘great’ and/or ‘relaxing’ facility Bongiorno is."
