Stay was ok, our room was bolt locked open, so door was open when we got to our room. Whole reason we came here was so our kids could play at Watiki, our 5 year old it was great, the options for a 2 year old on the other hand are very lacking, and anything that she could, she would of been blue lipped in a few minutes as the water for that stuff was ice cold. As the night went on, we found towels, multiple down the hallway. Tripped over a few. Trash scattered. Cup, half eaten donut. In our room, our fridge doesn’t work, had milk for the 2 year old, that was nice. A sock was on the floor between the beds. Did your room ever actually get cleaned? Shower handle fell off on the I lnside when we went to close the shower door. Lastly the room was 60 degrees when we came in. Maybe just 68/70 would sufficed. Other than that, we enjoyed our time we were about to spend at the very busy Waterpark.
