We loved our room location overlooking the water. Resort restaurants were amazing! Great food and drinks. Swimming pool was jam packed, in our opinion, too full. Convenient parking and location in town and on lake was great.

Lots of negative reviews about staff but I didn't have any issues. It was strange to not have a chair or table of any sort in the room. Just bathroom, chest of drawers, sink and bed. It would have been nice to have a couple hooks in the bathroom to hang swimming gear. The water in the little kids area was cold. The showers in the locker rooms were even colder. There was some garbage on the ground in the lazy river area, even first thing in the morning. But everything else about the waterpark and arcade was fine. We enjoyed ourselves.

I didn’t like the fact that we could not get a refund on our stay. We were due to check out on Thursday, but due to a levy breach and flooding, we needed to leave on Tuesday so we could make it home safely. Bridges Bay would not give us a refund, or not even a partial refund. Not cool at all-all due to flooding in the area

Quick trip
Second time staying here with family. Overall not a bad stay. Room was somewhat clean (some trash left in bunk bed and a little mildew in bathroom on floor near tub). Staff overall was nice. Pool area was decent and maintained. Facilities overall seem to be kept up. Good for family with kids bc of pool area and game room.

Just Don’t!!!
I expected that for the high nightly room cost (with a 5pm check in/11am check out) that the room would be clean, the service would be good, staff would be accommodating, property in good condition -but unfortunately none of these were true.
