I’ve stayed here twice now and it was good. Rooms are comfortable. The coffee maker didn’t work which was disappointing with so few options in the area to get coffee in the morning. Other than that the stay was great with great food option onsite for dinner at the Waterfront grill.

You might as well go somewhere cheaper where you can actually use some of the amenities. What’s the point of being the most expensive hotel if you get absolutely nothing for it? I knew there was no breakfast whatever but now they don’t include more than a couple water park passes per room and you have to pay EVERY day now instead of once for the whole stay. Also no more zip line passes either. It’s just an extremely expensive and overrated hotel now. Stay somewhere else with a pool and free breakfast for cheaper and if you want to go to the water park just to pay for a day. Ridiculous. Will never go back.
