Bed was comfortable. AC, TV, and WiFi worked. Awesome ice machine at the end of the building. Overall, a decent place to stay. I think their clientele spends their time fishing on the lake or shooting at Camp Perry, but it seemed perfectly fine for anyone if you just need a place overnight until you take the ferry over to Put-In-Bay (only a couple minutes down the road). No restaurants or even convenience stores nearby without driving the few minutes into Port Clinton. Front desk lady said to book directly on the website to save a couple dollars. No pool, but otherwise a good, solid value. Four stars.

Ok fine, things happen. I got here on Saturday evening and was handed a map. No signage on the rows, finally a worker offered to show me to the site. Great, got the RV hooked up. I did get a call on Sunday morning offering to move me to another site that was not full hook up as this site has no grass at all. Heavy rain last night, I am now in a sea of mud, thank goodness that I put everything away last night. The employees are super nice and are trying their best. They are the only reason for the 2 stars. The showers are nice and very clean as well. I hope the owners make some serious improvement.

I would talk to some of the long time members and they would express the challenges they had with getting anything they were sold over the years. The investment group here hired their retired mother who was an engineer to run the place.... Serious need of proper management and marketing. My wife and I called it quits this year. Cedar Point season passes were cheaper than the seasonal sites that are under powered. Too many broken things. It has potential with proper support.

The price for a family suit on a Wednesday with 4 passes to the water park is very reasonable. Upon arrival check in was simple and went pretty quickly. You are allowed to start your fun before the room is ready, which is good because the waterpark closes at 8 and opens at 10 am. You can also continue to play after check out. We found this very nice because you wouldn't get much time to play if not. Our room was ready early but our bands didn't open our room so they gave us new ones. The girls working were friendly and helped us sort it out quickly. We were disappointed to find hair in both of our beds. We called and requested fresh bedding because we wanted to get playing. They never came but they did give us a new room, also with hair on the sheets. Our cleaning person came in and we watched her replace the pillowcases with clean right off the cart and guess what? Still hair! This is a laundry issue but we were relieved to know it wasn't because our beds were dirty. This was our only negative issue. Our room was clean and spacious. The pull out sofa wasn't the most comfy but we were so wore out we slept well. The Waterpark wasn't very crowded and it was very fun for our boys! My grandson said he felt like a VIP and they will both remember this fun time. The workers keep a very good eye on things. We felt safe. There's a Dunkin Donuts in the lobby and you can order on an app which I recommend because I ordered at the kiosk and waited 30 mins for 2 coffees. ($9) I would recommend ordering ahead and pick it up when you get a text to save waiting too long. We brought in snacks and drinks to our room. We had a fridge but no microwave. Overall we all agree it was a great time and we will return. The kids loved everything and they said their review is "great"!

My feelings are really mixed here. The good: The staff were…read morevery friendly. The kiosk check in process was a breeze, and I LOVE that water park wristbands double as room keys because it's one less thing to worry about losing. The onsite Dunkin offered good food at reasonable prices. The drinks were really good and felt like they justified their price because they were huge. The hotel rooms were very nice. The arcade was nice, and provided a good variety of games. The bad: Paying for parking is a huge turn-off. It's $20 per day just to park in an ordinary parking lot, which seems like an excessive charge that the resort knows it can get away with because people have to park. Strategies like that feel like they're trying to squeeze every nickel and dime out of patrons. The water park, itself, isn't great. There's two nice-sized tube slides and some very short body slides. The lazy river is also very short and filled with empty tubes in a way that feels claustrophobic. The hot tubs are nice. But it just doesn't feel like there's anything particularly exciting to do. Once you've been down the slides a few times and checked out the hot tubs, that's mostly it unless you're a little kid (there's a few activities that are geared for young kids). Overall: If you want a good resort experience, you can get it here. If you want a good water park experience, you've got much better options nearby.

Ooooooh, where do you start when you want to say, "What the H*ll?!"…read more The very first offense was the entire room smelling like MOLD AND MILDEW. What caused this?! We don't know - what did we find? Water left in a tub! LEFT. IN.A.TUB. HOW LONG?! Who knows?! When I immediately complained, all they did was send someone to clean the tub. Did this work? Absolutely not. The room absolutely REEKED of mildew. The next night, I could NOT stand it. I asked for spray. How does one sleep with mold filling their room and no way to vent or open a window?! There were 6 people staying in this room. Four adults and two children under 8. Our room was at the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuurthest end of the hall, which leads one to believe it's forgotten about... The second offense were the crumbs and the blood left on the pull/ out bed (which in and of itself was an absolutely terrible bed for sleeping. You could feel every piece of hardware holding that crappy bed together.) Knowing that we JUST opened the pull-out bed and there were crumbs in it - NOPE! Not only was there crumbs, but when we took the actual sheets off, because we also had to do that ourselves as well, there was old BLOOD ON the sheets! As a woman, we know what old blood looks like and it was on this bed on the sides tucked in. That's unacceptable. Before we went to go to sleep, we saw 8 lovely legs creeping beneath another bed. Imagine what we didn't see. On Sunday, we stripped the sheets and piled them on all the beds and BOTH mattress were covered in yellow stains. Sweat? Urine? Who knows...?! The staff was less than enthusiastic for an environment that's supposed to cater to kiddos. Seriously, if you don't like kids, don't work there? The 'dance party' for the kids last maybe a half hour. If that? Who does that? And it's in the 'lobby' of the main entrance where there's a giant boat with barnacles, a mast you can light up and a talking-tube that goes up to the second floor. That's it. Literally. The rest is hotel and one craft room and arcades that charge you extra if you're not 'VIP'. Very few staff working the food places or around to ask about it. The best employee interaction came from a lovely girl in the late hours, when asked if the dock was okay to walk on, could we get back in, etc. She was so polite and friendly! I didn't see her name tag, but she had a bow in her hair - (Thank you for showing compassion and courtesy!) On Sunday, the slides were 'shut down' in random locations, we assumed it was due to a lack of staff since they slowly opened up after noon, but by then a good chunk of people are leaving due to check out. In the end, our visit was disappointingly-lack-luster and downright unsanitary. I expected more from a location dedicated to kiddos and their families. Even in the beginnings of the 'off season' as Halloweekend is around the corner, I had higher hopes. I understand 'bad days' and 'off weeks' but what I didn't understand was the lack of genuine care in a company that literally houses hundreds of families throughout one season. It said opened in 2004?. 22 years and this is the best you think you can do? In a world full of chaos, kids need fun and good memories. Do better Castaway Bay, do better!

The theme is cute and the facility is clean that is all the positive feedback I can provide…read more It just did not meet our expectations. There is no lazy river, hot tub or outdoor pool. The biggest issue was that you MUST wear a life jacket if you are under 56 inches. (4ft 8in), that's even if a parent is with you and the max depth of the pool is 4 feet. Within 10 minutes my kids who are 6 and 7 were bored and disappointed. We booked for 2 nights and left after 1 and went to a neighboring similar business for a night and had a lot more fun. Just not for us.

Comfortable beds (though high). The two pools and a large spa pool were nice, with many lounge chairs, and extra towels available in the lobby. Now the negatives. - When they say "check-in at 4 pm", they MEAN 4 pm. We arrived at 3:45 and they wouldn't check us in until EXACTLY 4 pm. - Room wasn't perfectly clean - carpet dusty, some dirt around the edges in the bathroom. - We were there three nights. Room was never cleaned nor towels replaced. - Some photos on VRBO showed microwave/small refrigerator and coffee maker. There were none. - No breakfast available. No complimentary coffee. There was a small bar in the lobby with coffee to purchase. - Room air conditioner was noisy. - Automatic night lighting on all room balconies could not be turned off, so we had to have the drapes fully closed to sleep. - Loud music was broadcast all afternoon and evening. We were on second floor and could hear even inside our room. We were told the music was required "for the Tiki Bar". - The room's balcony was screened, but at least twice a day birds got in underneath the balcony side adjoining room walls. After 20 or so minutes the birds got out the same way on their own. - No phone in the room and we had a hard time finding the front desk phone number anyway. Finally just had to go down to the front desk when we needed something.

For the price, the place leaves a lot to be desired. . The carpeting near the bathroom was wet the…read moreentire time we were there & the room smelled like mildew.

The pool lounges were covered in spider webs, spiders & dead bugs, pool bottom had huge chunks of paint/cement coming off & there were tiles off around the edge of the pool as well.
