Steve Prior Review of Camelback Lodge & Indoor Water...
Overall we liked the place and it was new and clea...
Overall we liked the place and it was new and clean. I got a massage in the spa and the therapist was very professional and knowledgeable and helped fix a back strain. As other reviews have mentioned we were not at all impressed with the main buffet restaurant, looked at what was offered there and didn't eat there. The Trails End restaurant was more to our liking and had decent burgers. Parts of the indoor water park were often closed for short periods, not sure why. The Flowrider looked fun, but the wait time on line was easily an hour and the turns they gave were pretty arbitrary, some people would get multiple tries and pushed back in a few times, while others (including my son) got in, fell quickly, and weren't given another chance unless they went back to the end of the line. I think they need to figure out how to be more consistent about that. The rooms were nice and clean, though we found our bed very hard and impossible to get used to over our 3 night stay. This is totally a personal preference so you might like that (lots of people do), but it didn't work for us. The outdoor water park nearby is totally separate and existed before the new lodge was even built, we got a package which included a single day there. That outdoor park had lots of nice slides and a great wave pool. Make sure you bring sandals or similar as the paver walkways get VERY hot in the sun (I got blisters), so those in the know wear shoes and they have cubbies for them at each of the slides. Wifi works pretty well most of the time in the Lodge. Our biggest hesitation in going back would be the hard bed and the Flowrider line, but we may end up back there sometime (with a pad for the bed).
