We will stay here again

Had 2 pre-teens with us and they had a great time at the indoor amusement center and at the waterpark. The restaurant on site was a little pricey and not a big selection. The indoor amusement center and waterpark were both included in the price of the room and you get to use them even on the day you check out. Front desk was friendly and helpful.

Fun place, economical and entertaining! Nice, clean accomodations

We rented a villa for 6. It was really nice and spacious and clean! Myself and my husband had a private room with a king size bed, fireplace 2 person Jacuzzi and balcony. My girls shared a spacious room with 2 queen beds and my son stayed downstairs in the living room on a queen size pull out couch. The kitchen had everything you needed. We only stayed one night but really wish we could have stayed more. The waterpark was great. The amusement park is indoors and is surprisingly spacious and even my 16 yr old enjoyed it. our only complaint is the food. It is expensive and not worth it. Next time we'll bring food or wonder into town for dinner. We will definitely be back.

We'll be back probably for many years to come!

We went here as last ditch effort to salvage some sort of vacation after leaving a different hotel because of the conditions. The staff was very accomodating, there was a lot to do and really was well worth the money. It was a great place for families and was nice and clean, comfortable and safe. I will recommend to everyone I know, because it really is a great concept. The staff was very pleasant and helpful, with after what we experienced was really needed. It brought our spirits up and I can't tell you how much that meant. Thanks
