Kaskade EBC in August - Advice?

[phan]

We (three couples) are planning to go to ebc to see Kaskade on a Saturday in August. None of us have been to encore beach club before. I'd love to hear some tips from anyone who has been there. Best spots, couches, lillypads, price estimate, etc.

Thanks!

Do you like to be close to the action or farther away? since your couples, that answer will help us give you the best advice.

I would say a mix of both. It is always great to have a place to sit, but one that is close enough to the action. Thanks for any info...

Beach couch hands down followed by lily pads.

Reasoning: Beach couch is a food and beverage minimum while anything in the water is beverages only. You also have easy access to the pool from the couches.

Ok that makes sense, any one have an idea of the F&B minimum on a beach couch during a Saturday when Kaskade is there?

Kaskade is a major draw so I want to say 2100-2400? The range is crazy, you can score one for 1400$ for say Zedd or TJR, etc but if it's Avicii playing it goes up to 3K in a blink! So it really depends and I wish I could be more help.

Yeah, it starts at $2100. That's what Noah quoted me for a beach couch for Kaskade on a Saturday, end of April.

I just booked my beach couch for that exact day and was $2100 spend.

The other scenario for a lower price is getting one of locations on Andreas patio.

Many will argue it is not in the action but it's the same size as the beach couch, has shade and a lower minimum. Most of the time we were hanging at the couch drinking and then walking around the property and such and then going back to hang at the couch.

You get in the pool and locate yourself 20 minutes before the dj comes on, watch and then back to the patio.

Just a thought.

kp, that's the other suggestion i was thinking about. Didn't know how close to the action they wanted to be and what kind of budget they were looking at.

[phan]

Thanks for the input! Interested in learning more about the Patio...

Why so much love for beach couches but not water couches? Other than water couches being drinks only, why aren't water couches recommended as often as beach couches?

[ocam]

They're brtter IMO but a fair bit more expensive - so if someone is asking about a beach couch, I don't expect they have the budget for a water couch

In my opinion they are the best option if you want to be right in the middle of everything, but as ocam stated, the min for the water couches are significantly higher than beach couches.

For example, Kaskade on a Saturday in late April was $5000 min.
