A Kid's Dream!

“The waterpark at Castaway Bay was an absolute hit with my kids! The variety of age-appropriate attractions kept my four children, aged 6 to 11, entertained for hours. From the gentle slides in the kiddie area to the thrilling water coaster, there was something for everyone. I loved that the park were well-staffed and maintained, allowing us to relax while the kids explored.” view full review

Tasty Convenience!

“Quaker Steak and Lube on-site was fantastic! After a full day of fun at the waterpark, it was great to have a delicious meal just a short walk away without going outside. The food was tasty, and the service was quick – perfect for when you have hungry kids ready to refuel after a day of swimming and playing.” view full review

Perfect for Families!

“We stayed in a Tarpon Suite that was perfect for our family of six. The bunk beds were a huge hit with the kids, allowing everyone their space while still being close together. The room was clean and comfortable, making it a great home base after our adventures in the waterpark.” view full review

Fun for Everyone!

“Apart from the waterpark, we also loved the arcade and game room available in the hotel. It was a wonderful bonus to have a place for the kids to blow off some steam when they weren't splashing around in the water. They had a blast with the games, and it really made our stay complete.” view full review

I had a fun weekend with my family at Castaway Bay, primarily because of the indoor water park, which my kids absolutely loved. However, the room really needed some upgrades, and the front desk service left a lot to be desired. The breakfast buffet was overpriced, and honestly just not that great, so I recommend checking out the bakery counter instead for some decent snacks.
