Look further.
Well right off the start, they stick you with a unexpected $50 deposit regardless of having prepaid online or not, the room was not clean, my kids found old candy under the couch, pool was cold, hot tub luke warm. Not much for the kids to do in the shallower end, basically only the slides. The room was nice and spacious but the heat/ac had a horrible smell. Breakfast was 6-9am, food was OK, but they started taking it out of the line about 8:45, even while families and kids were still entering to grab something quick.. staff was rude, made you feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Overall I would not recommend it or try it again. This was the 2nd time being disappointed. Check out the other 2 water parks if you’re looking for a water park. You definitely get what you pay for…
