Only three things not okay. Bathroom door is not easy to open and creaking loudly, sofa bed mattress is uncomfortable, and it’s too humid inside the waterpark that several times I feel like I’m going to pass out. I went to the restroom several times just to shower with cold water. All the rest are great!

Great staff that was friendly, helpful and mindful of safety at all times. A father noticed a broke bolt head on a waterslide and the staff quickly found a solution. They communicated effectively to each other in a calm manner and got the issue solved. On our departure cleaning staff was so friendly even thanking us for our stay. My go-to place for family fun under 1 roof. Seeing my 6 year daughter take the rope obstacle course to the 40 foot up top was amazing.

They stay was great until the last night. My family and myself were all relaxing for the night until a complete stranger walked into our room. The only way you can get into the rooms is with armbands. I sent a text and security came up about 15-20 minutes later with 2 new armbands and a breakfast voucher. Which i feel was a complete insult to the situation. My family and myself left at 4am today. I told the security the voucher wasnt needed. What i did not like was when i sent the text to the front desk the lady who answered the phone said that it was impossible for them to give my room code to someone else. Well if they check the cameras, they will see its very possible and it definitely did happen. The man smelled of urine because he urinated himself and the ordor stayed in our room for a while. I just dont know what else to say.

Rent a room close by and buy day passes
Room was very dusty. Shower curtain didn’t fit as a result water got all over the floor. Blankets had stains. Bathroom vanity had previous guests eyelashes and hair still on it. Room was very humid and lighting was horrible. Lamps cords were dusty and couch/sofa was very uncomfortable to sit on. I suggest renting a room nearby and just buying day passes. Not to mention they make you pay for parking. So not worth it.

We wanted to do a water park with hotel and feel this was the best option. From the moment you get there you feel welcome. The rooms were clean same as the water park. Also it was a lot of people there but didn’t feel crowded at all. We loved it
