We loved this place! We were a group of 8 people- 2 families. 5 adults two kids and one infant. The water park was small but so fun. No lines at all for the slides. The arcade was fun for the kids and we loved our room- the River Rock Suite. The first night we had dinner at the restaurant and had great service and the food was good. Service was great overall. We will definitely return!
