Mediocre winter trip. It is so easy to focus on the pain points, sonI will focus on the good points first. The water park is nice. We were here during the week day and not too crowded. My 6 and 4 year old loved it a lot.
We stayed on the sands, accessible by bridge to the park, but is is still a hike with little ones to get to our rooms. The suite was well appointed but had an odd layout. You entered in the bathroom and had to walk through the bedroom to get to the living room. For a place that is know for kids, one would expect something better than a sofa bed for the kids. Major fail there.
Tom fooleries is somewhat of a ripoff. It is good for about 2-3 hours if entertainment. Most real-estate is arcade games that are not part of the pre-paid pass. Question is if $100 is a good buy for 2-3 hours.
This does not sound like a 2 star review so far. Here are the two things where they dropped the ball. First is the people. NO ONE SPOKE ENGLISH. I swear these people just jumped off the airplane in the middle of no-where Wisconsin and started working. I know, I know, cheaper labor where there might not be labor to start with but still, asking a question such as, can i bring a beer to the tables in the pool area (yes you can) becomes an issue. The second area where we dropped the ball is pricing on select items. I know I am going to spend $8 on a cheeseburger if I eat by the pool. I know a beer is going to cost me more than $6. But when a bottle of water cost $3.50, that is where I get angry.
All in all, not a bad trip, just not great.
