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.
