Cheer Competition weekend

Castaway Bay is so fun! It’s affordable. My Grandkids love it. The waterpark is young kids friendly and the arcade has lots of games that I enjoy playing too. The only thing I can say that needs work are the mattresses.. They have definitely been used and are not comfortable. We will be back!

Normally Castaway Bay is our favorite spot, but this time one of the elevators were down, the bathroom door didn’t lock, the drain to the tub wouldn’t stay open, the water park closed at 8 (check in isn’t til 4) operator line stayed busy… just a lot of downsides to this visit.

Water park was very nice. Lifeguards were very professional. Room was ok. Could use an upgrade on the bed. Air conditioner didnt work the first night and it was very hot sleeping. Told front desk and unit was fixed that day. We got a room that had 2 sets of bunk beds and king bed. There is a small room off of the sink area that would be a great changing room but no door or curtain. Water took a very long time to heat up in the shower and not sure if it ever gets warm in the sink. Could use a chair on the adult side of room. Coffee maker in the room would have been nice. Everything very pricey but I guess everything is anymore. There were lots of free activities for kids throughout the day and evening. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Loved everything about our experience we went on Easter weekend and it wasn’t super busy so it was great for my family of 7. We loved our room we got the room that had 1 king bed and 2 twin bunk beds so our older 4 each had their own bed and of course our baby slept with us. We ate at the buffet for dinner and breakfast and it was definitely convenient. We were able to eat and get right back to the festivities without having to hop in our car to go find food. The arcade was awesome they had a lot of super fun games and it was pretty big. The deal that weekend was worth every penny for $40 you got 160 credits to play and an automatic 250 tickets on your card for prizes whatever tickets you won playing games. For our size room (1 king bed and 4 twin beds) 6 wristbands Included was under $250, buffet for two nights was around $150 (but 2 of our 7 were free to eat because age 5 and under eat free). Not gonna lie I wanted to do this trip so bad and I was looking into other water parks and I was so upset with the prices at the other parks I almost cancelled this trip but something told me to check with castaway bay and thank god I did. This was way more affordable then the prices I seen at other water parks in the area. I have kids ranging from age 13-1 and literally everyone had a blast including my husband and myself. WE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK! I forgot to mention you can make payments for your stay on Afterpay. Finally something for the big families that’s still affordable.
