I booked a birthday party package at the hotel's waterpark and couldn't have been happier with my choice. I was a little scared of the overall experience after reading some of the reviews on trip advisor, but then I remembered that every placed I ended up loving always had some negative comments on tripadvisor (you can't make everyone's happy - lol)
I was greeted by a very freindly front desk clerk who gave me the wrist bands for the guests, explained to me politely how the waterpark works and told me I could use a bell cart to bring all the food and decorations for the party.
When I walked inside, I was very happy to see that the coordinator made sure there was a birrthday party table set in the theme of Tinkerbell as discussed earlier. The table was set in the corner ( a perfect spot for going in and out of the water) It was also a perfect spot to watch the kids playing in the water. We were allowed to bring our own food, which was a huge plus! As a part of the package, we received a half sheet of the cake, a gallon of fruit punch and plates, cups and napkins (Tinkerbell theme)
The temperature of the air was a little cool to my liking, but it wasn't bad at all... Basically, I'm used to hotter, more humid temperature when going to other waterparks, but again - I wasn't freezing so it was ok.
Another thing I noticed was the fact that the door to women's room often got jammed and you had to ask the life guard on duty to open it again.
Speaking of lifeguards - there were two lifeguards at all times, and they made sure our guests (ages 2-7) enjoyed the water slides and pool safely!!!
Overall exprience was great. From the even coordinator, through the front desk staff and the lifeguards - everybody was super freindly and helpful!
I will defintely come back to this hotel for another birthday party next winter! And because I had such a great experience, I cannot wait to even book a room to extend my stay at that great family place!
I am attaching few pictures from the party showing how the table was set (sorry a little messy as I was able to take a picture mid throught the party), slides, pool and jacuzzi area!
