What visitors say
Suites were very nice, available with a full kitchen, so you aren't stuck eating out for every meal. Love that the water was all heated at the indoor park, outdoor was heated by nature. Fun slides, lots of restaurants, tons of stuff…

We came early to enjoy the outdoor water park and it was great. We enjoyed the foam party at 3pm! The pool with the bar was warm like bath water the outdoor lazy River was a bit fresher and the water moved you easily!
