I am a self proclaimed “picky person” I over analyze everything! This was a last minute spring break weekend trip for my family. We have done great wolf, Kalahari and many other waterpark/hotel stays. Castaway bay has been one of the cleanest places we have stayed! The room, the amenities, and the water park were all exceptionally well taken care of. I’m always telling my 5 and 6 year old “don’t touch that, stay away from this or that and that was not the case here. The lifeguards were also very attentive and with two littles this was very much appreciated. I could not give this place higher praise! We will for sure be back!

We had such an amazing stay during our mini vacation. Lots to do at the water park with endless fun! From arcade games, crafts, dance parties and many things to do around the resort. Food is a bit pricey but to be expected. Rooms were plenty big. Will be returning in the future for more fun!

I had read some mixed reviews about Castaway Bay so I was weary about our stay but I am here to give a glowing review. First the cleanliness of the hotel… wow. As a mom, staying at hotels that lack on cleanliness is awful but this place keeps very well maintained, clean areas throughout! The waterpark is nice and warm- I had read some reviews about it being cold which worried me because I am usually that person that is always cold but I was very comfortable. My kids (10,8, and 5) had an absolute blast and also really enjoyed the escape room, glow golf, arcade, bowling, and the craft area. The dinner buffet was very pricy so we skipped that but on our last day we did decide to do the breakfast buffet which seemed expensive but with unlimited coffee refills and the absolutely delicious waffles (literally like cookie waffles) it was well worth the money. I was glad we ended up staying here rather than the other places in the area. We without a doubt would stay here again!

The Guest services at check-in were polite, efficient and informative. I wish I had known the resurant attached to the hotel was closed. Good news, they are rebuilding to open a different restaurant.

Wont be back

We just went here for the indoor waterpark. The hotel room was very dirty. There was dirt in every corner. There was dust everywhere. The keys to our room wouldnt work several times even though we had new ones made. The elevators kept malfunctioning. The walls were very thin and we could hear neighbors and people in the hallway constantly. The events they hold are laughable. We had fun at the waterpark but there was a bandaid and chewed gum in the wave pool... so we left early.

Amazing!!

We had a great experience. The boys had a blast. My son had a bit of a health scare while at the water park, but the staff were amazing at helping us! They were so well trained and ready for anything.
