"This place felt like Hawaii! Loved the slides for the kids but do call and check if it’s open sometimes they have maintenance going on. Also the staff was super friendly and made our kids so happy! Especially Emy and Rosa in the gift shop they delivered a snores set and cookies to our kiddos! Made it so special. It’s a great place to stay for families!"
