Experience: Seaworld and Aquatica were offering military 4 free tickets, so I took advantage and…read moretook my family. We decided to go on Friday 26 Jun. Facility: This place is nice and a good size for the kids to roam. Service: Well, we discussed this amongst our family several times as we dealt with both rude and horrible staff and kind and friendly staff. You can definitely tell those who enjoy their job and those that need to find a new line of work, because customer service and client interaction is not their forte. LOL! Food: we bought all day dinning and drinks, which is definitely the right way to go. The drinks alone pay for themselves. Unlike other big parks, everything on their menus seems to be available on the all day dinning versus only certain choices... so that is great!! You get one entre choice (chicken tenders, burger, ribs, tacos, fish sandwich, pizza, etc), one side (fries, salad, fruit, mac and cheese, coleslaw, etc) and 1 dessert (cupcake, cookie, fruit, even a pickle, which I appreciated as I didn't want dessert) every 90 minutes. So no one went hungry. We even bring some ziplock bags so they can nibble on their pizza later. Most of the food was good, and some was really good. Overall: we had such a good time and we would definitely come back again. Tips: bring some bug spray, sunblock, water shoes and ziplocks.

If you've only been to Aquatica during the day, AquaGlow is a completely different experience! We…read morewent during the nighttime event, which runs from May through September, and it was so much fun seeing the entire park come to life with glowing lights and neon colors. My favorite parts were floating through Roa's Rapids surrounded by colorful lights and spotting the glowing jellyfish along the pathways. Even the beachfront cabanas lit up at night, making the whole park feel like a summer glow party. Of course, we couldn't pass up the Rainbow Cheesecake ice cream, and it ended up being one of our favorite treats of the night. Not only was it delicious, but it actually glowed too, which made it even more fun. AquaGlow is one of those experiences that makes you feel like a kid again. If you're looking for a different way to enjoy Aquatica this summer.

For our friends birthday, we rented a Cabana for the day... and a cabana is the way to go!…read moreIncludes unlimited bottles Dasani water, Disney refillable cup, fresh towels all day, a safe to lock items in, and a personal concierge to order what ever you want. Hannah, our concierge, was the best. She made sure we never ran out of anything. Our cabana was right near a drink filling station, which was very convenient. It was also right next to an entrance to the lazy river, which was perfect. The water temperature was amazing. It was a pretty warm day and the water felt fantastic. In the afternoon, we ordered several platters, and one of them was the charcuterie spread. The Mickey had goat cheese was delicious. All the arrangements were fantastic. We also got the chicken fingers and the nacho bar which I forgot to take pictures of lol because we dug right in. Overall, when going with a group to the water parks, it is definitely worthwhile to all chip in and rent a cabana. 10/10 we would do this again.

It had been a while since I last visited Volcano Bay. We arrived early on a Tuesday morning at…read moreUniversal so we can park and take the bus to Volcano Bay. Our driver Nate was friendly and welcomed us. He drove safely and got us to Volcano Bay without any issues. Upon arriving to Volcano Bay, I immediately went to the Sales/Tickets counter to purchase Mom's and my tickets. I wanted to purchase the tickets with gift cards I had. Gift cards can only be used on site and can not be redeemed online. (I was also able to pay for parking at Universal with one of the gift cards.) Lockers are, of course, available for rent. It was 7 of us so we got a family locker. That didn't work. We had to rent another family locker to hold all our stuff. The family lockers are not big enough if you have multiple bags. Some of the staff are cool. We encountered one team member who greeted almost everyone in the Kopiko Wai Winding River (lazy river). Every time we winded back around to where he sat overlooking and safeguarding the river he spoke. His attitude was hospitable and refreshing.

As a recent guest, I find Island H20 a good waterpark and fun for family and entertainment. If…read morethere is any improvement I believe that is needed, it is the music to be that only improvement. Not all of us, fact many of us are fond of hearing modern pop and hip music. It is a water park and the music that is to be played in an atmosphere of water, sun and palm trees is Hawaiian/Pacific Island music, Caribbean or vintage classic beach rock music like the Beach Boys and Jimmy Buffet. Sorry, but if I want to hear such rubbish like hip and modern pop, I would go to a gentlemen's club or the urban ghetto. Also got to think about the interest of other's groups' taste in music, not just one group with strictly one type of music. That music does not fit in at all with this environment. Other waterparks like Volcano Bay have tropical Pacific Island music in their Hawaiian kind of atmosphere.

Regular thunderstorm wait was 30 mins, however we kept hearing it about every 30 mins, so we decided to just leave. Locked ranges form $15, $25 or $30, totally convenient. Food stalls seemed yummy, people were purchasing food. We would if we did not bumped into a lightning/thunderstorm warning. Will try to come again the next time we visit Florida! Parking was $25 per vehicle or you can have somebody drop you off, or take a shuttle if your hotel provides one: Margaritaville and Embassy Suite both provide one. Front desk will call for you, however you won't know the wait time till then.

It's only open from 10 - 5 and it will close if the weather is bad. Great for families with kids and when we came - not too crowded. Again - this is a very small waterpark - mostly for timeshare people.

If you're at the resort or nearby, I recommend the water park. You get a wrist bracelet that allow you to leave the park and come back until closing. For the price and water activities, this is a good place for kids to enjoy the day.

I'm a total…read morebeach and water girl, and he hasn't really done much like this before, so I was really excited to share the experience with him. From the moment we arrived to when we left, everything was really well done. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which set the tone right away. They have a buffet for breakfast and lunch with a good variety of options, so I feel like most people could find something they like. There are also smaller stands with snacks, pizza, and ICEE stations. Now let's talk about the drinks. There is just something about a frozen daiquiri when you're by the water. Highly recommend getting the drink package and trying a few... or all of them if you can handle it. I loved how many different areas there were to explore. Seeing dolphins swimming so close to the beach was actually kind of magical. They also have a monkey island which I was really excited about. It was closed when we got there, but I could still see them from a distance and I loved that. The aviary was really cool too. Tons of birds, but also tons of people. They recommend going first thing when the birds are most active, which we did, but so did everyone else. We got there about 45 minutes after opening and the birds already seemed a little over it. Honestly, I don't blame them. The Grand Reef was such a cool experience. I didn't really know what to expect, and even though it's man made, it still feels really immersive. Some of those rays are huge and have zero fear. They will swim right into you. My guy had never experienced anything like that and he loved it. I also liked that there were shallow areas and deeper sections if you wanted more of a snorkeling feel. The only downside for us was the Wind Away River. There are spots that get deep really fast, and that day they were apparently out of floaties because people were hoarding them and claiming areas. Staff even acknowledged it, which was frustrating because nothing was being done about it. It made parts of the river harder to enjoy than they should have been. Other than that, everything else was great and it made for such a fun day. Also the bar swings were a highlight. Loved those.

We had our own private ambassadors show us around the park and were escorted to the sting ray feeding area . We got our wet suits and lockers . Bathroom is very clean and has plenty of towels . The sting ray feeding was so much fun . The ambassadors are very informative . Trainers will feed the larger manta rays since they are larger and take vitamins but we fed the smaller sting rays which was a lot of fun. Also we got to feed small fish which was a fun treat for us . Monkey island pool - warmest water in the park Tropical river - slightly chilly but overall fun Great reef- chillest but once submerged not bad . Colder due to sea-life . Great reef was amazing , it looks like nothing but once you put googles on it's another world. Highly recommend. All inclusive drinks package - worth the money it can get pricy . Food - buffet style , it was okay . Not great , not good but satisfied appetite . Lots of towels , food all inclusive and a great way to spend time in Orlando !

This hotel is like a home away from Home . Very spacious for big families and big groups. They have two and three bedroom suites, amazing restaurants, pools, and a market on site. Rates start from $200 a night during the off season and up to $400 during the high season. Access to the waterpark is included with your stay. And truly the waterpark is the best park. They have poolside service, a lazy river and lots of lifeguards standing by. The only downfall I see of this property is that is so big so there's a lot of walking. But overall it's an amazing hotel. Very close to the Disney parks and plenty of room for families. You can even do groceries and cook and if you want to. This is my go to resort when in the area. I highly recommend it.

It was fun to try it and it's definitely a nice change from the park on a hot day. My son loved some of the crazy slides. There is a lazy river and lots of Lego water stations the kids can play with. That being said, there are a few downsides: the location is not ideal. It's all the way at the end of the park so you have to walk through Legoland and back when you go. What makes this even more tedious is that there are no towels provided so you have to get all that stuff yourself through the park. The chairs were a bit run down. Only one food booth with limited options and they weren't accommodating at all when I accidentally ordered the wrong fountain drink. I doubt I will come back. The hotel pool is more fun.
