Rooms are outdated and our room's carpet was badly stained. Obvious unfinshed projects in hallways and stairwells. The cholrine in the pool area was very strong where our eyes were burning just sitting poolside. This is a drastic change from what it once was and we still enjoued oue trip but found the resort lacking.

I have multiple children ranging in age from 1-14 and there was plenty for all of them to do at the water park. The arcade was on the smaller side but still plenty for the kids to have some fun. The room was clean and spacious. The only complaint I have is that the hot tub was out of order but I understand that things require maintenance sometimes. The restaurant had good food and a friendly staff. Will definitely return.

Less than average
This is our second time here. The Wi-Fi never worked, even after we told front desk, pool water was cold, kids did fine but after a while they got cold! The baby pool area was freezing! We didn't have to pay for water Park passes because hot tub was broken but also the slides had to be shut down because of the cold weather. The arcade was fun, but it didn't take credit cards to get tokens, need cash. Some of the games broke the second day we were there. If you can be flexible and be ok with average hotel stay then it will be fine. The rooms were decent, hot tub in the room felt great after the cold water park!
