Check in is a very slow and painful process. Had 6 people in front of me and took more than 20mins to get to me. Told me room was not ready yet. Like a minute or so I got text that room is ready but receptionist told me I had to line up again!!! There were now 10 people in front of me on my second time lining up to het room keys, took 30 mins to get through line! Very stupid and inefficient check in process! Wasted an hour just checking in so I was pissed the rest of the night.

Expedia paperwork lists check in as 3pm. Upon arrival castaway bay staff informed us 4pm was check in. They said they couldn’t help what Expedia told us. We did not receive our keys until after 5pm! I would have thought they would have at least made sure we check in on time. We finally had our room so my children could get changed and enjoy the pool. We thought the struggle was behind us. The next day we were in the waterpark for about an hour when they chased everyone out. They ran out of pool chemicals. They eventually let people back in to about half the park but the majority remained closed. In a two day trip we missed out on about half of our waterpark time because this facility is poorly managed. At check out I explained our terrible experience and asked for the managers email. They wouldn’t give it to me. They took my info and said they would call the following week to book us a complimentary stay. They never reached out. My co-worker that had a similar experience put it best “don’t waste your time go to great wolf lodge”

The water park was nice and perfect for our 2 1/2 year old. Water park was clean and seemed very safe. The hotel room was below average. The comforter on both beds was yellowish and stained. Two of our four bath towels and one wash cloth had dried blood on them. The bathroom ceiling and around the mirror had hair hanging from it likely from a blow dryer. The water park made it worth the $200 plus I paid, but I can see why its half the cost of Great Wolfe Lodge or Kalahari.

The place is as advertised. Waterpark is fantastic for little ones, teenagers might get bored quickly. Rooms are very spacious. Beds are a touch on the hard side and wish they had bigger/more pillows, very small pillows especially for a king sized bed
