I had read several negative reviews regarding high chlorine in waterpark, but have to say it was perfect for a grandma, mom, two 10 year olds and two 15 year old girls. The waterpark is smaller with 2 waterslides, lazy river, separate pool area for very young children. I'd say perfect ages would be infant to 12 though the 15 year olds had a great time too! My favorite part was the outdoor hot tub and the younger girls especially liked the waterslides. It had arcade, workout room, concessions, breakfast in the morning and our room was perfect and very clean. Staff couldn't have been any nicer. Thank you! We will return!
