We just spent two nights at Okana and it was just crazy expensive. For two nights we spent over…read more$1500 plus 200 deposit for wristbands. The garage parking is $25 and if you leave and come back it's $25 each time and you have to pay another $25 after 24 hours. If you lose your wristband it's $75. Aside from that we were ready for fun. We got in the second elevator and it lurched and stopped. It finally opened on a different floor than ours so we decided to walk. When we got to the room the room safe didn't work so maintenance had to be called to fix it. We found the smokehouse to be pretty good. The nachos were great but the three meat platter wasn't the best. We went to Curveballs and the wait was crazy so the bartender who was fabulous felt sorry for us and got us a table. The food took a really long time and wasn't very good but the sweet bartender comped our food. The second night the fire alarm went off which isn't the hotels fault but the next morning at nine another alarm went off for no apparent reason. I think where Okana shines is the very fun waterpark, arcade, and cute shops. We loved the slides and the wait wasn't long and loved the Enchanted River. We also really enjoyed the outdoor beach. We would never stay at Okana again because our rooms were like $800 a night. In the future we may get a day pass for the waterpark but we just felt like the hotel was mismanaged and way overpriced!

I was really looking forward to spending all day here but after one round on the obstacle courses I was unimpressed! The trampoline portions are all ripped, the inflatables are all losing air after only a short while not to be refilled. Alge filled inflatables, and be careful coming up the metal ladder which has a layer of alge, making it very slippery. Kinda bummed- it has potential but it needs a major re-vamp! We we're thinking about trying the cable boarding with training but after seeing the lack of maintenance it didn't seem like the safest idea!

The environment is fun, safe, and so welcoming, which has made a huge difference for his confidence in the water. His instructor, Mark Anthony, is truly amazing. He is incredibly patient, caring, and supportive, while still keeping lessons fun and engaging. Mark Anthony knows exactly how to encourage my son, meet him where he is, and help him grow at his own pace. We couldn't ask for a better teacher. Highly recommend Aqua-Tots to any parent looking for quality swim instruction with instructors who truly care about the kids! ‍

An update so that other parents have an idea of what to expect. Obviously not a guarantee that you…read morehave the same experience, but if you're like me, it helps to set expectations appropriately. - Financial Outlay (as of 08.21.2023): $2,824 ($397.00 for a month for two children going twice a week). - Time Commitment (as of 08.21.2023) to go from Level 3 to Level 4: 7 months, almost to the dot. [] The Positives [] 1. The staff. The front desk staff are really friendly and helpful. The instructors are all super-affirming with their words to the kids and parents (frustratingly so at times; more on that at No. 5 below). Not all instructors are created equally though. Some are definitely better than others in terms of clarity/direction. But they're all wonderful human beings. 2. The flexibility of scheduling classes (using the app or otherwise) is pretty nifty. If there are any issues as far as cancellations or anything, they're really good about offering make-up classes. [] The Neutrals / Negatives [] 3. It's busy. All the time. This isn't Aqua-Tots' fault. This is our fault. We all had nothing better to do during COVID, so we just made a bunch of extra kids, I guess? And now we're all trying to make sure that our COVID babies won't drown in a lake/pool. Unless and until this Aqua-Tots expands, it is what it is. There's only been one time (edit: now two times) where it was so busy that the class started late by 10 minutes, and finished 3 minutes earlier than the scheduled time. I was fuming by the end of that session where my two kids ended up splitting 17 minutes of instruction with two other kids (for a grand total of 4.25 minutes per kid). 4. The inconsistency of how the shared instruction time is applied/utilized. Even if every kid is at the same level (e.g., Level 3 "Leapfrogs"), some Level 3 children can float, roll, dive to the bottom of the pool, etc., while others spend the session trying to get out of the pool. 5. The instructor feedback is almost always, "They're doing so great!" But me being the Asian parent, I was like "... If they're doing so great, what's keeping them from progressing to the next level?" And then it was always some generic feedback on improvements. My kids aren't swim-geniuses by any stretch of the imagination, but they can chicken-star-rocket with the best of them. So repeatedly telling me that they're doing great while saying they need to work on things they already know (while my credit card keeps getting hit for $397 on the 23rd of every month) was starting to wear on me. Either they're not that great, then the feedback needs to be more precise than "They're doing so great!" Or they actually are great, in which case, let's level-up, bro/sis. (edit: it would have probably ended up being 8-9 months before my kids were considered for Level 4 if it wasn't for a sudden schedule change that resulted in our kids ending up with a completely new instructor. This new instructor was like "Hey, I think your kids may be ready for the next level." Thank you, new instructor. I've been thinking the same thing since like... 2 months ago...). I never thought I'd be a bit of a Tiger Parent, but this whole swim class thing has me re-considering that... [] Rant to Fellow Parents [] There was this one female instructor that was really good with both my children. But during one of the lessons, there was another kid who was inattentive, and an all-around bad listener. That kid proceeded to goof around, and ended up underwater while the instructor was focusing on the other kids (including mine). She got to him in time, but that inattentive kid's parents lost their minds on the instructor. Then we never saw that instructor again. So that still annoys me whenever I think about it; that a really good/engaging instructor was let go (or I'm assuming she was let go) because of something that wasn't really her fault. If you as a parent can see that your kid isn't going to follow instructions or is going to be disruptive, then I feel like that's not Aqua-Tots' problem to deal with your kid. I'll gladly fight any of you who think that it's the instructor's job to manage your child's bad behavior. Parent your damn kids. And if they're not ready, get them out and try again in six months. Stop wasting everyone's time.
