Privacy not so much.

The waterpark has been updated which is nice other than one slide visibly cracking. We stayed in a king suite and the fireplace was “shut off for the season” that was disappointing. Our room also had a huge gap from the floor to the door anyone could have seen in the room, we had to shove towels in the door for privacy and prevent light.

Although our kids (all 12 and under) really enjoyed the waterpark, the chlorine levels in th3 pool area burned your eyes upon walking in. After one full day, two of our little swimmers suffered chlorine burns. The hotel was pleasant and clean, but not quiet. Which we plan for when visiting such a kid friendly place. It was only the chlorine levels that will keep us from visiting this location again.
