Everything was great with our stay. We were able to check in early upon our arrival and get settled in prior to visiting the waterpark! That was extremely helpful. We enjoyed the activities staff and enjoyed all the activities they offer and include the kids in. Room was clean and comfortable. Wonderful stay.

Don't come because you wont want to leave :)
My kids and I had a blast. My son said..."Tell everyone not to come to Castaway Bay... Because they won't want to leave" LOL
The waterpark was so much fun. We also loved the escape room and arcade. It was nice having a restaurant on site. We also had ice cream.

The staff was friendly. The property was well maintained. We had an enjoyable time. The Quaker Steak restaurant made it convenient to grab dinner as it was attached to Castaway Bay. A couple of the slides were closed as they reported they were low in staff.
