I've been a member for 2 years - fulfilling my contract and continuing on.  I don't understand why everyone is complaining about having to pay to get out of the contract.  DUH!  It's a contract.  You agreed to the terms when you signed up.  Do you think the terms change just for you?  And yes, there's a sales pitch.  I got one when I used my free pass several years ago but I just held firm and they treated me the same way that week as they did after I joined.  I appreciate being greeted by name and with a smile when I come in.  I appreciate that they figure out times that work with my schedule.  I enjoy the services offered and the cleanliness of the rooms.  If you like pampering yourself, can afford it, and understand how a contract works - then Planet Beach is the place for you.
