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.

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.
