Cabana Super Hero
Pros:

I rented a cabana at this location. Admittedly, there is a bit of sticker shock associated with it. I meant one of the servers the before finalizing my rental, and she completely swayed me, and it would be a worthwhile purchase, particularly given her personality.

I met Naomi yesterday orientating myself to the property.
She was busy cleaning up and still took the time to explain to me how the canopy works that I pre-ordered.
I selected the canopy based upon our interaction because I thought she was wonderful. She did not disappoint. She came and checked on us all the time!
I wish I could find servers like her at my local restaurant. If you have something like employee of the week or employee of the month, she gets my families vote.

A staff that cares...
Pros:

My children were one of the last kids on the Howlers Peak and so their experience wasn't as good as it could have been because there were delays caused by a group of slower climbers. My last kid seemed like he wouldn't get a chance to get through the course before the site closed for the night. Christopher took it upon himself to allow my child to go through at least the first part of the course and gave them a ticket to go on it the next morning, as well. There are a lot of places where the staff will not care about the experience of the child, but it seemed like the whole staff was behind the objective to make the experience memorable. I wanted to make sure I personally thanked him and the staff for caring enough to make our trip memorable from beginning to end. Thank you for the wonderful job you guys are doing. God bless!

Great Emergency Preparedness
Pros:

On Tuesday, July 14th there was an emergency in the Dunkin Donut area. I noticed that everyone involved in the emergency while they were waiting for EMS was exactly what we learn at my job. Great job to everyone involved, our whole pack was truly impressed.

A Great 3day Family Getaway
Pros:

Our family stay at Great Wolf Lodge Manteca was such a fun and memorable experience! We came to celebrate my son’s 14th birthday, and it truly exceeded our expectations. We had a wide range of ages in our group — a 20-year-old, 18, 17, 16, 14 and a 2-year-old and there was something for everyone to enjoy.

From the water park activities to the bowling, and arcade games, everyone had a great time. It’s rare to find a place where teenagers, young adults, and toddlers can all be entertained, but Great Wolf Lodge really does a great job creating activities for all age groups. The atmosphere was also enjoyable for the adults.

Our Deluxe Wolf Den Suite was a great setup for our family, giving the kids their own space while allowing the adults to have some privacy as well.

The only downside to our stay was the noise at night. Both nights, we experienced kids running through the hallways, banging on our doors, which interrupted our sleep. This was especially difficult because we had a toddler who kept getting woken up with the door banging, and once he was awake, it took quite a while to get him back to sleep. I understand this is more of a parenting issue and not necessarily something the hotel can fully control, I did have to call security the 2nd night which helped but I do wish there was more security monitoring or a way to address these disturbances when they happen.

Overall, we had a wonderful stay. Great Wolf Lodge Manteca offers a fun experience for all ages, and we would definitely consider coming back again!

We live it here!
Pros:

My daughter and her friends loving coming here. I love it because we don’t get fried in the sun having water park fun, and we can retire to our room for breaks. It’s clean; the people working here are so friendly and welcoming. It’s close to home, so makes for a great little vacation without the added stress of travel.

Fun day at Wolf Lodge.
Pros:

That lodge is very family friendly and is very accommodating to families. There are lots of things for children and teens to do at this lodge. It is a very busy place but most you can do online like ordering your food and picking it up also making reservations for Cabana’s on the pool deck, there is only one restaurant. And the prices are pretty steep not too many things on the menu to order, but there is a full bar in the restaurant. I think this Restaurant was not too accommodating for children not too many things for children to eat on the menu. I would say they cater more to the adults.

GREAT
Pros:

We had an amazing stay at Great Wolf Lodge! We checked in Friday night, enjoyed a relaxing evening, and took advantage of the late checkout on Saturday, which made the trip feel even more enjoyable and unhurried.

The Family Suite was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with plenty of room for everyone. The staff throughout the resort were friendly, welcoming, and helpful. We also had the breakfast, and it was delicious with a great variety of options for both kids and adults.

Overall, everything exceeded our expectations. The resort was clean, well-maintained, and full of fun activities, making it a perfect family getaway. We had a wonderful experience from check-in to check-out and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend Great Wolf Lodge for anyone looking for a fun and memorable family trip!
