Loved customer service! We were greeted with a smile !everytime we left the hotel pass the desk they greeted us!

Cons:

We requested a light bulb 3 times nothing!
Prices of the games were a bit high!
It was hard to get staff to the ice cream stand! One girl was there running Starbucks and the ice cream station !
Also all the big slides were closed one day so
My teens didn’t get to enjoy the water park

Accessibility of the park once we got in and everything was pretty close.

The water park was great,but we didn’t have any hot water in our room,and staff wasn’t concerned about it at all even refusing to discuss a discount

Cons:

The staff refused to give us a discount due to no hot water,they flat out said we could go elsewhere

We loved it, will return in the future.
Pros:

The club castaway staff was awesome. We enjoyed the entertainment. The waterpark was clean and highly staffed. The design of the lobby and the theme throughout is exceptional, made us feel like we were at a tropical destination. When we did have a few issues they were taken care of almost immediately. The look of the hotel inside and outside is beautiful.

Cons:

Way too much whistle blowing going on in the park, we didn't know what was right, what was wrong, a staff approached our child about his water shoes but nobody told us anything any other time. The rooms did have a funky smell, walls and doors were dirty. The only other issue we had is not entirely the hotels fault but there were too many kids running amuck at all hours of the day and night unsupervised, yelling, running, banging on doors, we were woken up several times at night and early in the morning. Might need some security to control that. We got very little sleep. The bed didn't help with that, the bed was very uncomfortable.

Kids had a blast
Pros:

Kids loved all the activities from the waterpark, to the arcade. Ice cream shop was a favorite. We ran out of time to try bowling or put-put, but they looked fun

Cons:

Nobody told us we had to ask for room service. Trash overflowed, toilet paper ran out, and linens don't get replaced unless we asked for it. Could be why we saw extermination companies there.

Maybe avoid.
Pros:

The price.... I had stayed here before, and it was way better then.

Cons:

A lot of the water attractions were shut down. The lifeguards didnt seem to want to equally enforce rules. The beds were uncomfortable.
