I am not a fan of waterparks or any amusement park for that matter, but sometimes you take one for the kids. We stayed a Saturday to Sunday. It is a good value. Two days of park access and a room for $200. We were in the Sands hotel so you have a 5 minute walk thru the hotel halls... More

I was extremely happy with my overall trip to Kalahari, Sandusky OH. The staff is very friendly. Every employee goes out of their way to make you feel welcomed. They all greet you no matter if your checking in, walking the hallways, or standing outside. The cleanliness of the whole resort shows how much pride they take in their work... More

We stayed here 2 nights at the beginning of may and did one of the May specials for a suite that included lots of extra stuff. The second night, the people in the room above us was making tons of noise at midnight but I called room service and the issue was fixed. We will be going back next year!

Absolutely loved everything about Kalahari and highly recommend everyone go there often. Our desert room was enormous and lovely, the waterpark outstanding and unparalleled. The staff and food are amazing. Nothing bad to say. Go there now.

We were at Kalahari last weekend, we have made it kind of tradition to celebrate my sons birthday here. We stayed in the dessert room, I think, (sleeps 6 with a balcony). The room is nice, clean, and spacious. The man who greeted up at the front entrance was great, he help bring our luggage up to our room. Like... More

I just came back from Kalahari- we spent 2 days and 1 night. Absolutely great experience! Waterpark and a Zoo and big Arcade - all under one roof. The check in time is 3pm but we arrived at 11 am and were immediately given our room. That was really nice of them. The room was HUGE: we had a full... More

OUr trip was great. We got a King Lodge room which was perfect for 2 parents with 3 kids, went with the meal plan to help lighten the load, and enjoyed every minute of our stay. The only negative that I can point out is the same one I noticed last time we came to the resort. There is a... More

Just got back from Kalahari using a Living Social half price voucher. We noticed improvements with the check in procedure. When we arrived we were directed to a parking lot near our room. They had us bring in our bags on a cart, and the bellman locked them up for us. I like that you can arrive at 12 and... More

Me and 14 others stayed for 2 days and we had a great time. The resort was clean and the staff was very helpful. Kids loved it. We have been quite a few times and will be returning soon. I do recommend taking some snacks because it saves you some money.
