The captain (Jack) was great. The guide Kristen did know a lot about marine life, I'll give her that. Her customer service skills were terribly lacking however. She def had an attitude about many things; one of them being when I asked for two life jackets for my little kids as we teach them when we're in a boat we wear like jackets supports. She acted like this was insane and out of the question and annoyingly grabbed them for us as said "you can have them but I don't want to invoke fear of the rest of the guests" I actually was so pissed she said that in front of my kids. At the end we got a bill and I was confused because when I booked, I was charged over $400 so I said simply I think we already paid, can I find my receipt and email? I showed her it said on my receipt "total paid" and showed her the charge on my credit card. She said in twenty some or thirty some years it's always the same and it's like a hotel and made me feel like an idiot. Again, I feel like i just asked a question and was spoken to like I was an absolute idiot. I then a little agitated calmly said, it's a little infuriating we are spending $400 and you are talking to me like this. I found your comment earlier about the invoking fear to be out of line and compared it to wearing a seatbelt in a car and I don't appreciate feeling judged by wanting to wear safety equipment in a boat. She gave zero apology and doubled down with both things and honestly I was so annoyed, I topped nothing and got off the boat. Kristen may be a marine expert, but having her with your business is honestly a liability. I am SOOOOO pissed we spent $400 on this ride. I hope you're other employees are better. Super turned off by the company

We all enjoy having fun together on the water slides and ropes course. We also enjoy the mini-golf, mini-bowling, and playing a game of VR. The beds and pillows are comfortable. The rooms are clean. You will occasionally hear a child running down the hall. From an adults perspective, the hotel is a little noisy and chaotic which is to be expected for a hotel that caters to children. I would like to see more healthy food options. Lastly, the hotel is located near a dump. At times during the week, there are large flocks of crows and birds that fly between the dump and the pool deck. I observed that the birds poop all over the pool deck and the staff have to clean the pool deck in the morning before it opens to guests.

There's plenty to do, including the indoor water park with slides, a wave pool, lazy river, and different areas for children. There's also an outdoor pool, food options, bars, and other activities, so you definitely have a lot of choices to keep the family entertained. Unfortunately, the strong chlorine/chemical odor inside the indoor water park really affected our experience. It was especially noticeable when the wave pool was activated, and at times the smell was so strong that it made it uncomfortable to stay inside and enjoy the water park for a long time. The noise inside the water park was also quite intense. It may have been related to the busy summer season, but for us, the odor was a significant issue because it took away from the enjoyment of what should be one of the main attractions. There are definitely a lot of activities and things to enjoy here, but because of the strong odor and how uncomfortable it made us feel, we're giving it 3 stars

We were lucky to find Dustin to teach us to water ski. He was patient and coached us through all the steps needed to be successful. We used his training water ski miracle device and were able to get up after just a few tries. Each time he told us exactly what to do differently to be successful. His boat is clean and comfortable. He is very concerned with safety and didn't push us past what we could do. He was very prompt to respond to my email inquiry and provided all the information we needed to prepare for the trip (bathing suits, sun screen, water, towels). We will definitely charter a water ski trip the next time we are in Naples. I agree with Peter A. -- this may be the highlight of our next trip. read more
