We had an amazing family trip over Memorial Day Weekend!! The breakfast Buffett in the morning is a must!! All the food is so fresh and tasty. We were very impressed with the indoor waterpark and the water coaster was a hit with my boys!! The food at the water park was also top notch!! We look forward to staying with Castaway Bay in the future!!

Family weekend
We took our toddler for his birthday. It definitely exceeded our expectations. Room was great with a nice view of the bay. We were able to access the waterpark before check in. Overall a great family mini trip (1 night).

Cheer Competition weekend
Castaway Bay is so fun! It’s affordable.
My Grandkids love it. The waterpark is young kids friendly and the arcade has lots of games that I enjoy playing too.
The only thing I can say that needs work are the mattresses.. They have definitely been used and are not comfortable.
We will be back!

Not worth it
The cops were there for some reason, parents weren’t watching their kids. For the price of the room it definitely isn’t worth it.

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.

The good and the bad
The hotel has plus and minus ..Lots to offer for the kids but also comes with steep pricing for all activities except the waterpark which is included with ur stay.The room we stayed in was far from clean I had to call front desk to have them send housekeeping up the bathroom was the worse the shower was full of hair and was dirty.The room has no carpet so you could see the dirt from the floor on my white socks, dead bugs in window sills, water damage on ceiling.The room has no dressers so no where to unpack ur belongings.The Staff are very friendly and buffet breakfast was good but also a bit pricy.The vent was filthy and the air sucks.if ur tired and want to rest this place is loud all night doors slamming, kids crying half night, people running down hallways all night could not sleep
