Great Experience

Everything was great with our stay. We were able to check in early upon our arrival and get settled in prior to visiting the waterpark! That was extremely helpful. We enjoyed the activities staff and enjoyed all the activities they offer and include the kids in. Room was clean and comfortable. Wonderful stay.

Elevators not working half the time & they take forever & a day anyway. Waterpark is fun but staff are in considerate but for the price of an indoor waterpark Castaway Bay is the best deal in northern ohio.

Don't come because you wont want to leave :)

My kids and I had a blast. My son said..."Tell everyone not to come to Castaway Bay... Because they won't want to leave" LOL The waterpark was so much fun. We also loved the escape room and arcade. It was nice having a restaurant on site. We also had ice cream.

Only thing I didn’t like is that you check in at 4 and you might have to wait for the rooms and the pool close at 8. Pool should be open Atleast 9/9:30 outside of that very nice place

From the hour and thirty minute wait to check in and then room not being available to having our second room on the other side of the hotel. No convinces made. Kids wrist bands fell off reentered the waterpark fine and then told to go and get them replaced at main desk. Got all the way to our room for card to not work o ly option load all kids and back down to the main entrance we go. Either lower the nightly room rate or figure out a way to better serve your guests. This is the second time coming and there will not be a third.
