    It was super clean and well organized! However it's more of a family type spot... the kids are everywhere even at the bar which I think is kinda weird but I'm not their mom so ya know how that is. But other than that it was pretty nice!

    Really cool lagoon perfect for families and adults to enjoy. You can rent cabanas, kayaks, jump down water slides and enjoy the swim up bar. Residents in the area get free access. The bar featured some drink bucket specials. They have a wide variety of food options from Greek salads, fries, pizzas and burgers. They feature clean water stations. I loved the variety of seating here from shaded, umbrella and even the reserved island area. Plenty of things for the kids to do from the small water park, covered concert stage and TVs to enjoy sports. Prices are fair and definitely got our $$$ worth being there for over 4 hours. Highly recommend getting here early to grab the non reserve seats. The staff was well trained and the entire lagoon, dining areas, sand and restrooms were clean.

    We were kind of worried to drive here after seeing some reviews, but I'm so glad we did! We went during the week (Thursday) and it was great. We ended up getting a cabana in the VIP section, which was really nice. That section is a little quieter with easy access to food, drinks, and shade. We ended up getting the cabana with the curtains which was perfect. Here are some points about our experience: Swim area: it didn't look big on the lap, but it was huge! The long narrow(ish) area was actually a nice design that allowed people to spread out more. It was 3'7 in most spots, but some shallower areas and deeper areas right by the ropes were options too Food/drinks: food was meh, drinks were incredible! I got the blue lagoon. The swim up bar was really fun. It was crowded here and there during the day, but there were definitely some openings. Drinks were reasonable priced around $12 Paddleboards: fun! Just make sure you bring a waterproof case *with a strap* to attach to the board. Obstacle course: really fun but need to have some level of strength/athleticism to get up on the platform. Some people were struggling to get on. Just something to note Lines for water activities: not bad. The longest I had to wait was like 10-15 minutes Staff/service: all staff seemed attentive and friendly. No issues Overall, I highly recommend this place! We spent about 7 hours and had a great time. We went back and forth from water activities to the cabana. I would definitely recommend going on a weekday, getting there early, and getting a cabana. Side note: probably best to not wear a white swimsuit. The edges of mine turned a just little bit greenish. It came out when I treated it. The rest of my suit was fine (and so were the others in my group that had other colors)

    Fun! Beach, pool, and fun activities! Kayak, paddle board, obstacle course, and two slides for the kids! Definitely get the splash pass for the activities. I bought the cabana for the pool but my 3 year old wasn't able to go there so we had to go to the beach side. Just a little FYI if you plan to bring little ones to get some shade! Go early cause it does get pack! Food was pretty good but expensive, drinks were a tad expensive for the small cups we got. Next time to bring personal cup. There's little bugs flying around at this time otherwise, great place to get fun in the sun!

    ****This deserves no stare but I had to choose Terrible experience. Ordered tickets online to one location double checked it was the correct location before checking out. In the confirmation email said it was sending me to a totally different location 3 hours away. Not the one I paid for. Looked for customer service number there isn't one, it's all AI on the "chat". The bot told me we had to reschedule on the website and put in three different confirmation codes. And when we rebook we will be refunded from this one that they booked the wrong place for. I am not paying to rebook and take the chance of this happening and being out double the money I'm already out of. Would NOT recommend, The website is deceitful. Don't waste your time or money!

    I wish our day had ended as good as it started. The lagoon itself was great, water was warm, and the attractions were open and not a long line. However as we went through the day we started to notice some yellow spots on our suits. My husband had bought a sun shirt during from the gift shop at the lagoon and by the end of the day it was covered in yellow streaks. We brought it up to our cabana server who said she had no idea; but the group next to us actually said they had the same thing happening to their suits as well. 4-5 of our clothing items have been stained and ruined unfortunately. We have tried everything to get them out including spray and wash, oxyclean soak overnight, etc. Bummed to have spent a pricey amount here to have brand new clothing items ruined.

    Absolutely loved this place -- Miranda Lagoon is a total hidden gem! I don't write a ton of reviews, but I had such a great experience at Miranda Lagoon that I genuinely felt compelled to share. From the moment I arrived, I could tell this place had something special. It wasn't just another bar or lounge -- it had a vibe, an energy, a soul. And I loved every minute of it. First off, let's talk about the atmosphere -- because wow. The whole space is beautifully designed, with a relaxing yet lively vibe that strikes a perfect balance. It feels like a tropical getaway tucked right into the city. Whether you're coming with friends for a fun night out or just trying to unwind after a long day, the ambiance here works on every level. The lighting was perfect, the music set the tone without being too loud, and the seating was comfortable and spaced well so it never felt overcrowded. Now for the drinks -- hands down, some of the best cocktails I've had in a long time. You can tell that the bartenders at Miranda Lagoon actually care about what they're doing. These weren't rushed or watered-down drinks -- they were thoughtfully crafted, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. I tried the house specialty (I believe it was a passionfruit mojito or something along those lines?), and it was incredible. Fresh, fruity, just the right amount of sweetness, and super refreshing. I ended up ordering a second, then sampling a friend's drink -- and yep, that one was amazing too. You really can't go wrong here. Service was another big highlight. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, professional, and genuinely welcoming. Our server was attentive without hovering and made great recommendations, which really added to the overall experience. One of the things I appreciate most about Miranda Lagoon is how it makes you want to stay awhile. There's no rush, no pressure -- just good vibes, great drinks, and an atmosphere that feels like a mini escape from the outside world. Whether you're there for a date night, a girls' night out, or just to treat yourself, it's the kind of place you want to keep coming back to. I will 100% be returning -- and bringing more friends next time. Miranda Lagoon is the kind of spot that makes you want to become a regular. Highly recommend checking it out if you haven't yet. Trust me, you won't regret it.

    Lagoons are the newest neighborhood feature in up and coming new build developments. There is a brand new one open, just a couple months ago, in San Antonio, FL at the Mirada development. Just some background for you- My kids bought a home in 2022, that they were supposed to be in by December 2021- delayed till May 2022. This is relevant because the lagoon was promised and delayed over and over for years. The residents who bought early just got to pay the high "lagoon" HOA fees with no lagoon. There is an adjacent neighborhood to the south with their lagoon- same builder, so owners could utilize that location of a small fee. I have been to the Epperson Lagoon as well. New and shiny. Residents are paying dues for the lagoon, so no entry fee is required at the gate, but they only have a separate resident line on the weekends, but weekdays usually only have one person ticketing and one line for everyone. Yes- it's open to the public for a fee, All Day Pass: $20 - $45 or Late Day Pass: $15 - $40 (Prices vary by week date and are subject to change. Late Day passes grant access to the Lagoon after 3pm only.) There are tons of add-on fees: Water Obstacle Course $5-$7, Kayak $5-$7, Stand Up Paddle Board $5-$7, Splash Pass $12-$14 (all the water activities listed before for a lower price). Amenities:Aquabana $229-$279, Premium Cabana $129 - $229, Adults only Cabana $159 - $229, Adult only Premium Loungers with Umbrella $40 - $50, Beach Day Bed $40 - $50, Beach Loungers with Umbrella $30 - $50, Tiki Cove $50 - $200, Beach Mini Tiki $50 - $120, Island Mini Tiki $60 - $130, Island Pavilion $80-$250 There is also a lagoon shop, bar & various food trucks on the weekends. The shallow, kids section had such a rough (non-slip) surface that toddler's feet were getting cut up! I even commented on how rough it was. Apparently more use is slowly wearing down the roughness. If you live there, I gather weekdays are better and getting there when they open. Weekends can fill up fast! And.... Right now the view is pleasant beyond the lagoon, but construction will eventually be an ongoing eye sore (as I have witnessed at the Epperson Lagoon neighboring)- houses and townhomes will be built around the lagoon. It's a cool feature- pun intended, but I don't know if the fees are worth it for the general public.

    Decided to drive to this place from Orlando after hearing good reviews about it. The drive was about 1:30 but so worth it. The "lagoon" is one of the biggest pools I've ever seen. The floating obstacle course is awesome. They have kayaks and paddle boards for your use as well. The food was not bad and the drinks were tasty as well. The have a private area with cabanas and floating cabanas that were pretty cool looking.

    The Mirada Lagoon is a great place for families. Nice alternative to beaches especially for those who live or are visiting further inland. The Lagoon boasts an assortment of activities including an obstacle course and paddle boarding. Theres no shortage of food and drink options also! Highly recommended!!!

    I've lived here for 7 years and have watched this community evolve--unfortunately, not always for…read morethe better. While there have been some positives, the overall direction, especially in recent years, has been disappointing. The biggest issue is a clear decline in customer experience. The Metro Development Group management team seems to have lost sight of what made this place successful in the first place: its residents. The very people who built the Lagoon's reputation are now being treated like an afterthought. One example is the entry process. Residents used to have a dedicated entry and bag check, which made sense and showed value for membership. That has slowly been phased out, leaving members stuck in long general admission lines. For a paid membership experience, that's simply unacceptable. Even more frustrating is the constant rollout of new systems that feel unfinished. Instead of leveraging existing member data, residents are repeatedly forced to re-register as if they're brand new. This creates unnecessary confusion--for both members and staff--and leads to avoidable issues. This past weekend, I watched a longtime "legacy member" family of five get told only the father existed in the system. The rest of the family had been removed and would need to enter as guests. That's not just inconvenient--it's embarrassing and unacceptable for a venue of this caliber. I had a similar experience myself. I used my membership card to check in and purchase a drink with no issue. Less than an hour later, the same card suddenly "didn't exist" in the system. I was forced to go through the entire setup process again. There's clearly a lack of consistency and reliability in their system. At this point, it feels like this location is being used as a testing ground for new processes rather than being properly managed. If that's the case, there's little evidence that feedback is being implemented or that improvements are being made for this community. Metro needs leadership with real hospitality experience--someone who understands how to run a high-quality, member-focused venue and deliver a consistent experience. If management is reading this: please remember what made this Lagoon successful. Invest in your residents, fix the systems, and bring back the level of service this community deserves. This was the first Lagoon in the U.S.--it should be one of the best, not one of the most frustrating.

Had a slightly traumatic experience today. My 7 year old got stuck (for 5 to 10 minutes) in the big slide which is pitch dark all the way through (fun but not when you get stuck) and he wasn't helped promptly. Full story - I was up there at the slide entrance and i could hear him screaming that he needs help. There was a staff up there (looked like a teenage kid) who had a walkie talkie. I assumed he would have informed the people in charge as soon as he got stuck. I kept talking to my son to lie down and try to push himself down and he kept responding saying he's trying everything but is still stuck and it is getting very uncomfortable. After a while I checked with the staff whether someone is coming to help. And then I see him telling on the walkie talkie "the boy is stuck on the slide can someone help?". I was shocked. It must have been a good 5 minutes (no watch, just guessing) and he just thought of informing?! By the time someone could come, my son finally managed to push himself down. I told the guy "you should have informed quicker" and his response was "talk to my manager". I thought "ok no use talking to the teenage kid he probably wasn't trained how to react in these situations". I went to the manager and told her "please train your staff to inform quicker" her response "he probably was sitting down, we cannot do anything about this" i go "No he was lying down this time.. first time he was sitting, but this time he was lying" she repeats "he probably was sitting; we don't promise how long it takes to slide; you eventually get down and that's what matters". Is this an empathetic response? I mean i get you have to stick to boiler plate legal language at times, but im not trying to sue anyone here. Im just looking for "i understand that must have felt scary, ill talk to my staff on acting quicker". I felt like I was talking to a robot both with the teenage staff and with the manager. Anyway, my husband intervened and helped the communication and both the manager and the teenage staff eventually apologized and i really appreciated it. Takeaway - If you're not staying in Holiday Inn, NorthShore Aquatic Center might be as fun for a fraction of the cost If you're staying in Holiday Inn, avoid the blue slide or go shirtless (another staff pointed out that might have helped) I see other reviews as well about untrained and disengaged teenage staff. Should have read before I visited!

There are restrooms here that make it easy to change your children into their bathing suits. They also have shaded picnic tables. The splash pad and playground is gated so you can let the kids run around inside while you sit and chat on the outside of the gate at the shaded picnic tables. I would highly recommend bringing swimsuits and all your water stuff if you decide to come here, because the playground part is quite small and in the same area as the splash pad. They aren't separated, so your child will most likely get wet whether you want them to or not if you come here, better to just prepare for them to get wet. The splash pad has one of those buckets that fill up and then dump all over the children, which I find kids absolutely love. There is also a ropes climbing part that they can get to a crows nest, so I would say the ideal age for this play area is between four and 10. I have a five year-old and a seven-year-old and they loved it.

Three of the venues they advertise for food was not even open for the entire day, but still get charged full price. My grandson cuts his toe, was bleeding so went to the main area for something to stop the bleeding and a bandaid. They said we "don't have anything, try the bar" So we went to the bar, nope we don't have anything either. So he gave me bar napkins as first aid. This is a concern as if it had been anything worse than a small cut, I have no idea how they would rectify it. Twenty five minutes for a hot dog and a bag of chips when we were the only customer for that entire 25 minutes.. I think the lagoon could be an amazing opportunity. But run it like this, it will be closed within three years. They need some adult supervision soon. ALso, they need lockers. It is a large facility and to expect anyone to not be able to lock up credit cards and cash is a big miss. Hope they get their act together as the lagoon itself has the ability to be a hit. Just run it like a business

    We enjoyed this place but wished there was clarity in the operating hours of the arcade and food…read more We wanted to enjoy the lazy river which was nice and relaxing but had lots of plant and mulch debris - likely from the rain and not from neglect. It was unfortunate that the arcade and all the slides were closed in the early evening (when you can finally go outside to avoid the Orlando summer sun baking you alive) and everything aside from one bar was closed. We managed to get a few drinks for the kids and us. Folks were *generally* (see below) well behaved and we brought our pool noodles into the river to avoid the steep floaty fee. We were not expecting as many drunk adults trying to skirt the floaty rental requirement or entitled kids climbing all over the rocks that clearly said "do not climb" but that's how it is sometimes.

    Good accommodations overall. Darrell Jackson (resort manager) made a great impression on my wife as…read morehe helped her bring up some of our stuff! We have been here before and enjoyed the place we stayed in the Holiday Inn Orange Lake Resort so we tried the waterpark location this time. The building was under some renovation so I'm sure it will be looking great soon. The room was spacious and nice for the 4 of us and the access to the pool area was great. Nice fitness center and bars and restaurants easily walkable. Overall a good experience despite the inconvenience of the renovation going on

    This was the sun west seafood festival. We love seafood and had out of town guests with us. First…read moreoff, it was $5.00 to park! Then $15.00 to get in! We walked past every booth, exploring what each one served, foods, trinkets, T shirts and other hand made craft items. We settled on grouper sandwiches from burger boyz, a Hispanic twist on some of the worst foods we've ever eaten. I just wanted clam strips. (You usually get a good sized portion) not this place! 2 huge scoops of nasty, cold rice with very little flavor and it was a bit mushy. Then a tiny cup , half filled with soured coleslaw. Just a handful of small clam strips. When I say small, I mean half the size of a normal clam strips. They were ok. $10.00 for a very watered down lemonade. The food and drink cost close to $40.00!!!! Lousy food, lousy service! Now the funnel cake was from a food truck called, A fork in the road. THEY are the only reason for 2 stars. The funnel cake was fried to a golden brown and loaded with powdered sugar. Very delicious. Their price $10.00, reasonable for how thick and large the funnel cake was. The 2 young men serving were pleasant and eagerly smiled as they held up their masterpiece. There were tents set up with tables and chairs. But, there were no lights so we had to eat in the dark. There was a band playing. They were pretty good, playing rock and roll. To be honest with anyone reading this review, we will not go back to one of these seafood festivals. The food was terrible, the service was bad and the prices were ridiculously stupid! Definitely not worth the money. By the time we made it home, none of us were feeling good. We were bloated, a bit nauseated too. Sorry to say, but this was the worst seafood festival we've ever been to.

    First of all, I don't like that you have to pay to park, but it is what it is. I don't know if this…read moreis man-made or just another inlet of water that they turned into a beach, but it's good if you only want to go to the beach for a couple hours to get some sun and walk in the water once or twice. It's definitely not made for adults to go swimming in, but great for kids. They just want to play in the water and the sand. The sand is good, they even have a handicap walk out on the beach to make it easy for those in wheelchairs. They do not have any beach wheelchairs, however, at least that's what I was told by someone who worked there. They are very few handicap parking spots.
