"Overall, my kids had a great time. They especially loved the water slide area, which was the main reason we went. I also really appreciated the convenience of the wristband—I didn’t have to carry a wallet around, which made things much easier.
Downsides:
1. Check-in took far too long. Even though I prepaid for everything, it still took quite a while for the process to be completed.
2. Limited food options during the day. Dunkin’, the ice cream parlor, and the main sit-down restaurant didn’t open until later in the evening, which was inconvenient.
3. Noise issues. There were several birthday parties happening in nearby rooms, and one in particular became very loud and disruptive.
4. Cleanliness in common areas. The microwave area and hallways could use more attention. That said, our room itself was very clean, and trash was removed promptly.
5. Limited activities for older kids. There wasn’t much to keep my 11-year-old engaged outside the water park. The mini golf area was very small, the arcade had limited (and expensive) options, and he wasn’t interested in the mini bowling or rock climbing wall—so we spent most of our time at the water park.
6. Parking cost. $20 per night for parking adds up quickly.
Overall, our family enjoyed the experience, and everything felt new and exciting. However, I’m not sure it’s somewhere we would return to."
