We had a great time here recently. We bought tickets at the gate. Unfortunately, there's not an…read moreoption for admission for people that aren't riding rides. So, two people in our party had to pay full price for no rides. There was a long wait at the front to get into the park, because only one employee was working. Not really sure what they were doing because they gave us a wrist band for the water park even though we only paid for the theme park. We were as confused as they were. We went during Thanksgiving week so the weather was cooler, but there wasn't much of a wait for any rides. Our daughter wasn't tall enough to ride everything (only 38"), but we still managed to have a good time. They have a lot of rides for the smaller kids. My wife and I enjoyed the roller coaster the best. We took advantage of the low wait times and rode the roller coaster several times. Definitely worth checking out.

We visited during the twilight hours and found the facility to be extremely crowded, making it…read moredifficult to find space in both the lazy river and the wave pool. The lazy river contained multiple pieces of debris, which detracted from the experience. Additionally, there were not enough floats available for the slides or wave pool. Guests are required to wait in a separate line to obtain a float from someone exiting the ride, and then proceed up the stairs to the slides. Since all slides share the same staircase, congestion is a frequent issue. Lastly, we observed some concerns regarding staff attentiveness. In the kiddie section, we repeatedly saw very young children (approximately 4-5 years old) bypass the employee overseeing the slides and proceed before being given permission. This raised safety concerns and suggested a need for improved supervision.

Everything. Outdated equipment…read more Hazardous walkways. Lack of concessions. Cleanliness. Non working - gocarts, Lazer tag and mini golf area. Let's start with all the outdated hazardous equipment. I wouldn't let my worst enemy on some of those rides. Then the mini golf area? How hard is it to pick up trash and blow the leaves off the course. All the "shortcut" pipes need a good cleaning. Lost 3 balls on hole 3. The gocarts? Lucky if they have 7 working at any given time. Lazertag. Same. Only 7 players could go at a time. Don't get me started on the concessions. The day after the 4th, a worker said, "sorry, we didn't expect this rush." It was midday on a Saturday. We didn't try the water park and based on how bad everything else is, won't ever give it a go. Tear this place down.

I look forward to their openings every summer!! I always purchase a seasons pass. Since it was…read morebought out by new owners - the seasons pass price went from $129.00 down to $59.00. When I read about the price drop, all I could think of was that since they've chopped the price down, it will seriously be packed the entire time they are open. I'm so glad that I purchased this anyway because it being overcrowded was completely unfounded. When I arrive, I get a float & enter the lazy river (don't think that's the correct name!) and I just float away - for hours. I have a lower back issue so to be in the water on a float - it takes out all the pressure on my lower back! They play music, they have a snack bar, and the staff is wonderful! You are not allowed to bring in snacks/drinks so just know that upfront. I also love the area where it's really shallow & little children are mostly there. Because they have this huge "pail" that continually fills up w/water. Then they tip the pail to where all the water dumps into the shallow pool. I think a bell rings or something so you have a few seconds to grab your child if you are worried they might get scared/knocked over. I can vouch for what force the pail tips over as far as the water coming out of it. I knew they were about to tip the pail over & it's so much fun plus you really get cooled off. What I did not know - however - was to grab my top because the pail of water comes down really quickly and my top came down with it. After I regrouped, I got out of the water to get my sunscreen when a lifeguard approached me. I was pretty sure he was going to ask me to leave, and that this is a "family" type atmosphere and to please stop terrorizing the children. But he ended up asking me where I had purchased my bracelet. Crisis averted! I love this place so much!!!

Overall, this was a fine water park. There were a decent amount of slides with decently short wait…read moretimes. The rides involving tubes took much longer to wait in line for. There are plenty of slides suitable for younger children. Try to get there closer to open while it's cooler and the lines are shorter! A couple of things to note: If you park there, you will have to pay. The prices at the time we went were $35 for VIP parking at $20 for a further lot. The park opens at 10:00, but a couple of the slides did not open until after 11:00. The concession areas did not open until around 11:00 either.

The location was great, the room was amazing, the amentities were the best part. This is a great place for families as the many pools and water areas are so much fun. They have poolside activities like poolside movies. There is a small tiki bar with a small menu on site as well. They also offer umbrella/chair rentals on the beach in front of the resort. I can imagine without the construction project you have a better chance of walking to the nearby restaurants/attractions, but we opted to drive. The parking is gated as well as the pool areas.

Last year we came end of August so it wasn't as busy. This year we came 1st week of August and we still had a great stay. This is my one and only complaint. The chair saving at the pools. People will line up for the pool to open at 8am and we watched someone saved 8 chairs!! We were behind them and were at the pool all day and only 2 people used the chairs!! Meanwhile we watched families come down as a whole, having to place their things under palm trees and bushes. We also had a table and chairs next to us with a pool noodle, and an empty bag on it to "save it". No one ever showed up to sit down, but I saw a family come through the gate from the beach, decided not to use it today and grabbed their things and leave. I understand the wanting to save chairs so you've got it! But I find it dis-heartening to see people take advantage of it and not even use the chairs your saving. I wish they would either enforce a no save for later policy, or limit the amount of chairs you can save per unit. That's my only complaint. Other than that. It's a blast to be here.

The drinks at the pizza place are okay and We have been a few times over the years. I explored and found The Lost Key bar which had a lovely tiki glass(plastic ) which I promptly bought. The bartender talked to us and We found out she is the one creating the drinks. Keep her always she's an asset to your hotel. The hotel has a lovely coconut scent being pumped in. The negatives and why I wouldn't stay here 1. Those elevators! They are too dang slow. We seriously took the stairs which I swear was 10 flights from the bar cause it was too slow. Not only that they are the smallest elevators I have ever had the misfortune to be in. This was way before 4 so that can't be used as an excuse! 2 . The elevators were crowded to the point it was uncomfortable. The hotel itself is more crowded than I prefer . This is probably because of Summer! I just prefer hotels that are more quiet and with less rambunctious children going around. I checked this hotel thinking it might be a hotel choice for my next trip but what I saw confirmed that this place is not for me or my family.

We are absolutely never going to come back and we would never recommend anyone else come. #1- rooms and resort are not very clean. Our room had fruit flies on day one and it only got worse when we brought one open bag of chips into the room. The carpet was nasty and made our socks and feet black on the bottoms. Carpets around the resort were stained and dingy and our whole floor smelled like weed. #2- pool and water playground area leave much to be desired. The pool itself is very small, the kids play area is small as well and the ground of it is not even slightly soft. The lazy river was ok but looked super cheap and worn and got really crowded. The entire pool area has no where near enough chairs or umbrellas, and there isn't any shade or open area at all. On Saturday people were literally just sitting in the ground in direct sun. Also no lifeguards or anyone seeming to be watching the pool area as far as management because I saw a few people very obviously vaping and no one did anything. #3- food at the margaritaville restaurant was mid at best. A salad and the burger were good but the margarita was nasty and the breakfast omelet had no seasoning just a ton of oil. #4- no water fountains anywhere. Literally felt impossible to fill up a water bottle unless you bought bottled. Had an ice machine on our floor thankfully but no water fountains throughout the resort. #5- no housekeeping turnover unless you stay over 3 nights but they're supposed to come do trash and towels. Well one day they came and took trash and dropped off new towels but left all the dirties and the next day they just left a bag on the door with trash bags and towels. Our son enjoyed the arcade a lot but the games were pretty pricey to play. The paradise pier is literally built on top of a parking garage and has zero shade and gets so hot. It's pretty small and rides were expensive. The room was pretty spacious and every employee we encountered was super nice so there is that. For the price you pay ($950 for 3 nights), you would expect so much more and it's extremely lacking.
