Breakfast buffet was a continental breakfast buffet offered at most hotels for free. Nothing special and low quality. Recommend going to actual restaurant. Overpriced all around. Arcade dont even bother you wont win anything. Huge waste of money. Waterpark was great but very small. Only one big attraction and wave pool. Hot tub was great and huge! Waterpark food overpriced low quality. Rooms are adorable but cold in the winter. Whole place smells like a nursing home. Was nice to try but dont think we will be back.

It finally fell short of my expectations
Castaway is our place, has been for years. However, too much of a good thing comes to an end, and this was our time. The water in our room was lukewarm at best and the hot tub was down all weekend. The pizza was still bangin’ but the Starbucks was subpar and the desserts tasted old, and for the price per piece, it should be stellar. Quaker State was meh.. I had to send my salad back because the lettuce tasted unwashed.

It was ok
There was a vape in our bathroom and in the safe we got locked out of our room because the key didn’t work and we had to get help 3x before they just sent maintenance up and then never got an actual working key the waterpark has a ton of rules which is fine but I wish I would have known I couldn’t bring a life jacket

You know that feeling when you realize the pictures were technically accurate but it’s really not at all what you had hoped? That happens in the first 30 seconds. The water park is fine for a few hours unless it’s your very first water park - say for kids 4 and under.

First and foremost… The lifeguards at the water park are absolutely amazing, I truly hope they are recognized for that. Check-in was great, simple, and accommodating. (We checked in early) Housekeeping was awesome and so friendly. As for any complaints, we sadly didn’t participate in the arcade rooms. We just couldn’t justify paying the rates that were offered for a family of four. I realize that’s most places these days but it’s absolutely insane! Overall, we absolutely loved Castaway Bay and being so close to Cedar Point. We would recommend booking a room there and would definitely stay there again!
