We are making this a tradition every year before my son’s race down the road at Baja Acres. This place had the best water park. The ropes course was so much fun for my son’s first time and a great bonding experience. The arcade was so big and fun for all ages. We even bowled in the arcade! It was incredible. We cannot wait for 2026!

End of summer vacay!

So many things to enjoy and explore! Our grandson had the best time. Loved the clothesline in the bathtub -perfect for drying our suits after a day on the slides. Being able to charge food and beverages to our room was a huge bonus- no carrying around cash or cards. Next year we’re going to stay two nights!

This was our second time at this property. This time around we got to enjoy the new Waterpark and zipline in the family fun centre. It’s a great spot for a multi-generational family vacation. I was really impressed with our room as well. It had a separate area with sofa, table, microwave and refrigerator. We made that the kid zone! We’ll be back for sure.
