Don't come because you wont want to leave :)
My kids and I had a blast. My son said..."Tell everyone not to come to Castaway Bay... Because they won't want to leave" LOL
The waterpark was so much fun. We also loved the escape room and arcade. It was nice having a restaurant on site. We also had ice cream.

Breakfast buffet was a continental breakfast buffet offered at most hotels for free. Nothing special and low quality. Recommend going to actual restaurant. Overpriced all around. Arcade dont even bother you wont win anything. Huge waste of money. Waterpark was great but very small. Only one big attraction and wave pool. Hot tub was great and huge! Waterpark food overpriced low quality. Rooms are adorable but cold in the winter. Whole place smells like a nursing home. Was nice to try but dont think we will be back.

It finally fell short of my expectations
Castaway is our place, has been for years. However, too much of a good thing comes to an end, and this was our time. The water in our room was lukewarm at best and the hot tub was down all weekend. The pizza was still bangin’ but the Starbucks was subpar and the desserts tasted old, and for the price per piece, it should be stellar. Quaker State was meh.. I had to send my salad back because the lettuce tasted unwashed.

It was ok
There was a vape in our bathroom and in the safe we got locked out of our room because the key didn’t work and we had to get help 3x before they just sent maintenance up and then never got an actual working key the waterpark has a ton of rules which is fine but I wish I would have known I couldn’t bring a life jacket

Would love to see the lake view cleaned up a bit, the blacony and deck need some work and the upstairs one was used by smokers which stunk. The indoor pool area could use a dusting up near the top of slides and the outdoor spa was a bit dated.

Really liked our stay here. Room was clean. Lots for the kids to do. Didn't like the hours of water park. 10:00am-8:00pm. Couldn't use it on our arrival date, friday after work, Saturday was all day at the cedar point. Got to enjoy the water park Sunday before we left. Kind of on the pricey side. But we had fun.

Our beds were so soft and uncomfortable.
The AC was loud and wasn’t working very well.
The room smelled of humidity.
