Cedar Point's Castaway Bay

Cedar Point's Castaway Bay

8/10 Good
"Don’t get me wrong. The kids loved it so for that I would do it again. It’s just not my cup of tea. The gym wasn’t that great although I’m sure people don’t stay there for the gym they stay there for the waterpark. The waterpark was decent and there was a decent restaurant connected to the property. My biggest concern were just the quality of the room versus everything else. The only other tip I can give is to skip the breakfast buffet for the price and food quality."
