My adult kids rented at Cinammon Bay last February. They loved it.

My daughter tried it at Cinnamon Bay a couple of weeks ago. The attendants were really very fair. The first day we went, they told her it was too windy and she'd hate it, and suggested we come back. The second time was on our last day, and it was still very windy. When she looked sad at the news that it was too windy, the female attendant said that she'd show my daughter the ropes and let her try it, and not charge us until she decided that she wanted to use her hour. She gave maybe 15 minutes of instruction, including helping her in the water, and then Jillian took off. She loved it - never fell off and was tired before her hour was up. It was $30/hour, I think, and that was for time in the water actually doing it - it didn't include the instruction.
The attendant was very patient, friendly, and a good teacher.
