First off, if you’re here reading the reviews, congrats, you’re already halfway to, “if you don’t expect too much from me, you may not be let down.” With the reviews being one negative after another, we had low expectations. Truths: there are some parts of the resort that are run down. Like the carpet on the stairs. But I could care less about that. There are activities that get cancelled due to not enough participation. For example, no one showed up for indoor soccer (so the staff handed us the ball & my husband & 10 yr old & their events employee kicked the ball around for a bit.) We wanted to play mini-golf 1/2 hr before it got dark but the building next to it was locked to get the putters. Came to find out later that ALL equipment was to be checked out from the bowling area. Also, it’s true that sometimes a slide in the water park is closed. This is due to the fact that teenagers call out & an understaffed water slide= liability. Now that’s normally an unacceptable reason anywhere else. but I guess this is why I paid $160 night and not 300. And got a free water park pass & breakfast for their special. For further context, we did get what seemed like a renovated room in the “Main” Town center building. It was nice, clean, and spacious, with a stove, oven, microwave, oversized mini-fridge. The other 2 buildings are The Lodge & Willowbrook, which I know nothing about but you have to drive a 1/2 mile to get there from town center but Town Center is where the arcade, pool, water park, billiards/ping pong, movie theatre, indoor sports complex is. Movie theatre is a nice touch. 3 different movies a day, free to hotel guests. We loved the beach area in front of “The Lodge” building. Beach bar, lounge chairs, swim area. If you don’t go looking for the negative you’ll be harder-pressed to find it. A few other tips: -bring your own towels for the water park. They give none. -Try to get a couple extra bath towels on your first day. You may have to grab them yourself from an unsuspecting housekeeper’s cart. For some reason you can ask 3x and still won’t get towels. -be aware that the pool or water park may be open only from 12-8. -the bowling alley & arcade is where to inquire bout events going on & not going on.
