The water park is nice because my kids love to swim. We were there for 3 nights and i beer the kids swam for 12 hours. I wish the arcade was cheaper but it was okay. Had some plumbing issues but overall a good stay.

The pool area was fantastic and loved that they had lifeguards on duty. So much fun! The downside is that the rooms need much updating. It was difficult to find plug ins for phones/electronics. Carpets were worn but all around it was a good place to stay with kids.

Staff was very kind and accommodating, but they are clearly understaffed for the facility’s needs. Shared areas always appeared messy. Room had broken fixtures, worn carpet, very outdated. Breakfast was very limited, cold, and the dining room was dirty. Water park has limited hours during the day. It was fine for the price when we needed a place short notice - we are not a high maintenance family - but would not stay here again.

The main waterpark feature was closed. Had we known this, we may have booked elsewhere as we have a 5 year old child who loves the water features here. This is the second time in the last 12 months that we have stayed here and had problems with Pirates Cove water features being accessible to guests. Also, no continental breakfast on Friday morning? Both of these items were in the online description. Restaurant under new management, again, unable to serve adult beverages. Been coming here once or twice a year for at least 15 years, sad to see it going downhill.
