There was stuff under the beds on the floor. There were dust bunnies all over in the bathroom. The floor needed to be swept. There was gum stuck to the side of the nightstand. The curtain was hanging on one end as it was broken.

We had an amazing family trip over Memorial Day Weekend!! The breakfast Buffett in the morning is a must!! All the food is so fresh and tasty. We were very impressed with the indoor waterpark and the water coaster was a hit with my boys!! The food at the water park was also top notch!! We look forward to staying with Castaway Bay in the future!!
