Our two girls (7 and 4) had a blast, and that filled us with joy as we spent most our time at the waterpark. It was surprisingly relaxing for us as parents. We enjoyed the layout of the room with the bathroom between the queen beds, allowing some privacy. We had fun at the arcade. The staff was super! I think the waterpark could have had more attention to being clean/clean the floor on a regular basis.

Our room was not cleaned. Toilet was disgusting, there was hair in the sink and the shower, toothpaste all over the bathroom faucet, something gross on the bed linens. I changed the sheets because the cleaning staff had gone home. They told me they credited my account for a nights stay and they did not. I should have read the reviews ahead of time... lesson learned

For the price property was nice. Very clean, rooms were spacious and like the smaller water park. It is dated and needs some refreshing. The included breakfast was not worth it, but they rarely are.

I checked in for a one-night stay for an event I was attending the following morning. Location was good and it was close to several options for dining. Upon arriving in the room, I appreciate that it was very spacious and I liked that the beds were in separate areas with the toilet and shower in between. What was a little disappointing is when I entered the room (in the middle of July), the room was around 75°. The A/C was not on and it was stuffy, so I had to turn it down to about 65° as it was a very large space to cool. A little surprised as typically when I've checked into a room they have it set to be somewhat cool when arriving. The other disappointing feature was the bed. Firstly, the room description said 2 queen beds, but they were full size, NOT queen. That wasn't too big of a deal as it was just myself and a friend, but if our wives were with us, I would have requested a different room. Not sure how hard it is to say a queen bed and then actually have a queen bed. I could tell the mattresses were older because when I sat (and then laid) on it, the middle sagged and was noticeably squeaky like they were 20 years old. On a scale of 1-10, comfort was ~6, but thankfully I didn't have to share it as any little movement would have been extremely disruptive to the other person. The other thing that was disappointing was the tub/shower combination It was old and there was a significant amount of water exiting the faucet so the shower had bad water pressure.

This was a very pleasant stay. We had our kids and grandkids and there was plenty of space for the night owls to stay up late, and the kids to have quiet space to go to bed and not be disturbed. We rented a pontoon and there was plenty of room on the dock for both our boat and the pontoon. The owners/management were very attentive to our needs and responded quickly to our requests. Would definitely rent again!
