We arrived late on Thursday night because we were getting a much needed A/C unit installed, so we did not arrive until 8:30 p.m. The water park closed at 9 p.m., so we took that time to walk around and get acquainted with the hotel.
It truly is a kid-resort hotel, with various restaurants, an arcade, a spa for both kids and adults, craft area for kids, gift store, and interactive "quest" game throughout the hotel. This place is made for kids!
We arrived in time to see a show geared toward little kids - with singing mechanical animals, etc. After about 5 minutes, the girls were done with it and wanted to move on, but this would have been cute for younger kids.
Our room was great! It had a microwave, a small fridge, coffee maker - all the necessities! Plus, our room had a sitting area with a pull out sofa bed. We did not get the fancy room with the bunk beds, etc., because we knew we'd be spending little time in our room and for the extra money, it was not worth it.
The water park opened at 9 a.m. and we were at the door waiting to be let in. The water park is awesome! There were 7 indoor water slides, an older kid playscape area, a young child play area, a wave pool, lazy river and open swim area with cool stuff like lily pads to jump across and basketball goals. There is also an outdoor area, with two slides and a water play area.
There is a height restriction on two of the slides (48" and up) and Elisan and Kyla were not able to ride those slides, but that did not stop them from having a ton of fun. (By the way, the slides they were not able to ride were so much fun, but I can see why they were not able to go on them... they were fast and kind of scary!)
Elisan and Kyla's favorite attraction was the wave pool. They loved crashing in the waves!
This was one vacation that I would definitely repeat!

Here are few of my personal recommendations:
- Bring your own food! The food at the hotel was expensive. We ate breakfast, lunch and snacks in our room and went out to eat in the evening. We found a great local restaurant via the GPS and thoroughly enjoyed it.
- Go on a weekday! We spend all day Friday in the water park and it wasn't nearly as crowded as Saturday morning. I would assume most weekdays are not nearly as crowded as weekends.
- 2 nights and/or 1.5 days is plenty of time at the park.
- We did not buy into the "quest" interactive game. It was extra to purchase the quest game 'wand' and my kids didn't even notice that the ENTIRE population of kids were playing the quest game. They were more interested in the waterpark.
- Next time we go, my girls will be 48" tall and a bit older. Because they were so young and not tall enough, Randy and I had to accompany them on all of the larger slides. That was fine and we had fun, but I would have preferred to have allowed them to go off on their own a time or two... I'm not as young and full of energy as they are! But, there is plenty of stuff to do for younger kids too! I'd just prefer next time we go, that they be old/tall enough to do everything!
