A great time

The stay at Castaway Bay was a girls trip for myself, my daughter and her daughters. The property superseded our expectations. The water park was big enough to keep the girls 4, 6, and 8 entertained and small enough to keep them safely contained. The daily activities were fun and engaging for their age. The staff were all patient and kind to the child customers. The overall stay was excellent. I will definitely do it again

The room is so dirty, large hanging cobweb over the bed, dirty alongside the tub and in corners, all light fixtures covered in dust, floors dirty, needed to keep shoes on. The phone didn't work to call the front desk for a maintenance issue with the safe, needed to walk there to get it addressed only to be told to "slam" it to enable the code to work. I took pics of all of these issues. While the water park was ok, after a couple of hours the kids are over it, could have just done a day trip somewhere else for alot less. I would not recommend or stay at this property again.

Family vacation with teenagers

Everything was great! Everything was clean, people were friendly, waterpark was great. I wish it had more of an outdoor area and a lazy river, but I knew that it didnt have that when booking. My two teenagers still had a great time, loved the waterpark and arcade. Went to Cedar Point for a day, the early access pass was the best. I do not reccommend Famous Dave's on site, better off going across the street to Thirsty Pony. The views from the 3rd floor patio are incredible. I would also splurge on the water facing room, I wish we had. The onsite food is pricey, but door dash is an option. The nacho bowl from the waterpark is worth the $ though.

Transported right to the beach when you walk in. The waterpark is fantastic!

Review for Cedar Point: I had high hopes for a fun family trip to Cedar Point, but it was a complete disaster and felt unsafe for my kids. The park was overrun with bugs, especially around the rides and Cedar Point Shores waterpark, making it impossible to enjoy anything without swatting them away or finding them crawling on us. The pools were particularly bad—bugs were floating in the water and covering the tubes in the lazy river, which was disgusting and unsettling for my children. Safety was a major concern. My kids kept getting hurt on rides and in the waterpark due to what seemed like poor maintenance and inadequate supervision. The kiddie pool area at Cedar Point Shores was a mess, with only a couple of slides open and no clear signage about closures, leading to confusion and accidents. The lifeguards seemed overwhelmed, and I didn’t feel confident they could properly monitor the crowded pools. Several slides were closed, and the ones that were open felt unsafe, with my kids slipping or bumping into things because of the chaotic environment. The overall experience was far from family-friendly. The staff didn’t seem to care about addressing the bug problem or ensuring the safety of younger guests. For a park that markets itself as a top family destination, I was shocked at how poorly maintained and unsafe it felt for kids. I’d strongly recommend families with young children avoid Cedar Point until they address these serious issues. Save your money and go somewhere clean

Unfortunately from the moment we arrived it was a bad experience. We had neighbors next door who were smoking marijuana and it made our whole room reek! As we know, that’s not the property fault but I went to front desk to explain as we had two kids with us. The manager was so rude about the situation and had us wait until about 10:30pm for a new room. Our kids were super cranky and just a bad overall first night. Once we were moved to the new room, the tv wasn’t working, tub wasn’t draining water properly, and the room was dirty. Food crumbs all over the floor. They refused to do anything for us. It was a take it or leave situation. No compensation, no help, no solutions. Second night, there was a group of about 9 kids running up and down our hallway at midnight for about an hour and banging on peoples doors. Called front desk, they didn’t do anything. Until finally one of the people next door came out and screamed at every single one of them. Very necessary. It’s a kids resort. Babies and toddlers are trying to sleep. I will say the cast workers ( the employees that held the dance parties and arts and crafts and all the fun things for kids) they were super sweet and nice to all the kids. We did feel all the “events” they had were very short. Dance party was about 10 minutes maybe less. Overall would give the place a 3/10. It was disappointing.

Check in took forever, longest check in I’ve ever experienced at a hotel. Room was okay, nothing special and not the cleanest. I wouldn’t use the microwave. We brought popcorn and the microwave almost set the bag on fire…plus the pool/waterpark closes at 8 which is ridiculous since check in took so long. The waterpark is okay, definitely for 10 years of age and under. The biggest water slide was obviously closed as well. Definitely won’t be staying here again.

My family absolutely loved it here! The kids had a blast at the water park and game room. I liked how they had a little show for the kids with different characters during certain times. Guest service was fast and friendly and check in/checkout was really quick and easy. We enjoyed our 2 day stay here and at Cedar Point, which is right around the corner from the hotel.
