    We booked this hotel mainly for access to the water park, which is a great feature. However, the water park was very busy during our visit. Some of the pools closed at different times without much explanation, which made areas like the lazy river and rides extremely crowded. That said, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and we still had a great time. There is food and beverage service at the water park, but if you're visiting with kids, I recommend heading to one of the restaurants instead it's a much easier experience. Thank you for an enjoyable day! We'll definitely come back when it's less crowded.

    Super fun, innovative, and relaxing water park located in the JW Marriott Resort & Spa!!! If you stay in the hotel the water park is included which is outstanding, but for those not staying there you can purchase day passes on Day-cation or the Tidal Cove websites. Prices were a little in the higher end but the relaxing vibes are well worth it. We got seated with towel and food services. Our server was the sweetest lady and helped us with all our needs. The prices for food and drinks are on the steeper end yet they were all very good! Food and drinks were very well made and fresh. The water park has an all kids section for smaller children and the rides are for anyone taller than 48"= 1.33 yards. There are 6 water rides in total for 4 riders, 2 rides, and single riders. This does not include the lazy river. The parking garage is now $32.99+tax for all day. Overall the park was not extremely packed and we went all over the rides multiple times and went in the heated pool zones to relax. Highly recommends to family and friends! ^.^

    We decided to try this location with a Resort Pass! So let's talk about the pros: some water park like adventures like slides and a lazy river which are all really fun! It also wasn't super busy which is really nice. The food was really good which helps after a full day of adventure! Staff was also extremely nice. Cons: you had to pay about $35 to park in addition to the resort pass which I thought was a little pricey. The food was good but also expensive which would make sense since this place is tied to an upscale hotel. Although it was pricey we would consider going again!

    An unexpected adventure at an incredible resort! Adulting is overrated so we decided to be kids again. We found this awesome spot thanks to ResortPass. We were looking for a chill pool day and weren't sure where to go. Many of the miami scene pool parties had way too many dress code rules and we honestly just wanted to have fun, chill, eat and drink. That's exactly what we did at Tidal Cove. After booking our reservations online that same morning, we came out on a Friday and expected it to be super packed and also full of kids (since it's the perfect place for a family getty). This place is a whole vibe, when you walk in it's a true resort experience. What I mostly love about this place is that you get complimentary towels, there are outdoor rinsing areas and complimentary showers (only open til 5pm), free chair lounges, complimentary water stations are located throughout the resort. So for sure a plus and one less thing to think about when visiting. There are also lockers available but we ended up not needing them. We started off relaxing by the pool, ordering delicious drinks (we got a pitcher with their delicious mezcal drink - can't remember the name!) and some apps to snack on. The vegetarian sushi was OUT OF THIS WORLD. Once we got some food and drink in, we decided to be lazy and let the lazy river take us away. This part was awesome and just so relaxing. After going around for a couple of rounds we got off at one of the stops and went straight to the water slides. This was SUCH a blast. The only downside is doing all the steps (which honestly aren't so bad, they kind of build up the hype haha). A lot of the rides are for two so you won't be able to ride solo. The mat ride you can do a solo ride or even the suspended slide one - that one was INSANELY awesome. Despite it being a small waterpark the rides are IT and it wasn't too overcrowded nor were there too many kids. It was the right balance. We hit up the flowriders boogie board surfing thingie (it was my first time ever trying it). They make you watch a few safety videos and fill out a waiver and then you're good to go! The amazing and incredible staff here truly make you feel safe, secure and confident. Their confidence in you honestly builds up your own so by the time you go out there you can literally learn a few tricks in just a few rides/waves. I hadn't ever done anything like this and the guys were so helpful. This was my absolute favorite part of my experience here. Getting to learn, ride, and have a blast. We came out of here feeling so refreshed after a nice swim in their warm pool (and a few hot tubs later). This is exactly what we didn't know we needed and we can't wait to be back! What a fun way to spend the day in this incredible resort with so many awesome amenities. LOVED THIS!

    I lived in Miami for a decade and never heard of this water park before!! How!??? I didn't even know about it until I happen to stay at the JW Marriott Turnberry where it's attached to!! I was therefore completely unprepared! I didn't even have sunscreen!? But I did have a bathing suit in my bag and off I went. They open at 9am however no attractions open until 10am. You can swim and eat and drink. The best thing about coming on august 14 is that school has started and until noon there were probably 30 people in the whole park. There was no wait for anything, you just kept going up those stairs doing rides over and over. Downside is that the 2 drops slides were closed (fine by me as I'm a scary chicken). I started with the yoga mat rides that the staff called little kids rides however I already had to get in to it lolololol. But once I went there was no stopping. Then I tried to carry a seat up to find the minimum weight is 160lb for the right so you need to be with at least 2 people and I am faaaaar under that. For the round floatie I joined many others but for the duo seat I never managed to get a ride. Which is unfortunate but more so the girl down the tower didn't say anything and had me carry the thing to the top for nothing! I loved the surfing!! After signing a waiver the staff was super kind and helpful teaching you. As there was for a while nobody for me I kept trying to get better and managed to get on all 4s (: after that I never went back because it got busy and a line started forming. (In my opinion wakeboarding behind a boat is way more fun but also different to learn). The pools were soooo beautiful, everything screams luxury. Even the bathrooms are breath taking! Far from your standard pool toilet! The lazy River was nice and you can enjoy the environment during the ride. Food and drinks are very expensive. This is JW a luxury resort. There is free water stations and plenty of towel stations. My favorite part was that is was not busy at all. I left at noon because I think I got the most out of it also you can't keep doing those stairs. I'm writing this review because my legs are already killing me preventing me to fall asleep! If I had known I'd be here today I'd probably did some kind of working out but it you don't do anything but be lazy, this is the result. This is a very active physical experience unless you lay poolside all day! All staff was very friendly. They help you set up your chair with towels and an umbrella. Everything was super clean. It also feels very safe! Of course it wasn't super busy but the vibes were just right. I left my bag open on a chair the time I was there and felt safe doing so. However during the weekend that might be different but I can't tell you if there's lockers as I did not look or even think of them! The price is pretty high but that is because location and luxury. Water parks in Orlando are bigger for the same price but more competitors and less fancy. Parking is $45 overnight but I had to pay it for my hotel stay regardless. I recommend coming with at least another person. I tried to offer my free entries that came with the JW Marriott room to others but on a week day last minute that was unsuccessful and it affected my experience. However still had an amazing time and if I'd get another chance I to come back even it was alone again I'd do it all over again! (Just not in the next days.... Legs...)

    Tidal Cove - at first I thought this was just a new way to trap tourists in miami, but to my surprise it wasn't . This was my first time here to celebrate my sons birthday we stayed over night at the hotel and made our way to tidal cove the next day. We had a cabana for the day which was perfect, since it was still football season my son and his friends got to enjoy the water park while I got to enjoy the adult beverages and football. Jeffrey and his team were amazing!!! Jessica took care of us and everything was just perfect. Great place to host kids events. The staff is very attentive, they do a great job tending to their guests and making sure everyone has what they need. This is by far one of the cleanest water parks I've been to, my son cannot wait to go back.

    Great place for kids you can lounge while kids enjoy the water rides. It small and you can see your kids while you relax.

    A great place for the kids as an adjunct to the beautiful JW Marriott Turnberry Miami. Plenty of space to enjoy the shade or sun with areas for kiddies and larger people. A wave runner is available to try your skills on a body board. Discounted or free tickets are available with your stay at the resort for every day of your stay. Excellent staff that is both attentive and friendly is available every where you look. It is abundantly clear that the training they receive is constant in the approach to customer service. Each person as they pass says hello and greets you with a smile. A pretty good assortment of tube or mat rides is there for all ages to enjoy. Lines were short and easy to navigate for the rides. A kiddie splash pool for the real small ones with plenty of chairs to watch them play and have fun. Food is available and is as you might expect- decent but not over the top- a little expensive but not overly so. Adult beverages were also fair in price- a bucket of 5 beers for $32. Also wine and specialty drinks good and fairly priced. The only shortcoming was that after two days, you have played out all of the attractions and are ready to try just laying about and getting tanned. Worth the trip and a bonus if you stay at the resort.

    Price- The prices range from $55 - $500 for a day pass. This is the official hotel pool and the staff stated the day pass price is based on occupancy. That's fair to keep the crowds feasible for true hotel guests. We had a great time but I can't say I would pay more than $75 per day per person. Seems excessive but good for the hotel is people will pay it. They have a strict no refund policy. That makes it hard with weather, sudden illness, and planning in advance. I wish they were more flexible. Rides- Excellent options for a hotel water park. Aquadrop- for sure the scariest. The floor drops from under your feet. Boomerango- imagine a vertical wall that the tube races up to then spin down. Lazy River- chilly water but no big deal as you float. Not very exciting. More peaceful. Master Blaster- personal fave. It's almost like a roller coaster in water. Water pressure makes the tube go up and then you slide down. The airtime was great in the way down. Constructor- fun. Little slower at first but a lot of fun. Whizzard- Mat ride. Good time and fun. Flow Rider- worth the wait. Each guest got two minutes with the instructor. Lots of adults also enjoying this ride. Main Pool- very warm. Nice area with lots of loungers. Food- We had a good meal. High quality. We enjoyed the quesadilla and Salmon BLT. Prices slightly above average but it was truly good. Staff- I felt really safe there. They were very strict in watching weight, heights, and party sizes on the rides. Good security presence as well. Anthony was a rockstar. My son was terrified to try the Aquadrop. He was so sweet with him to try to encourage him but not force him to go. He let him watch others from a safe distance try it so he can decide if he wanted to go. This job can't be easy and he was so good with my son. Please send him my thanks. Employee of the month material. Tiffany at check in was also very fun to chat with. Side notes- -. Very hard to reach anyone via phone or email. Front Desk at hotel said they had same issue. Towels are complimentary to use The is is part of the hotel and the main hotel pool. If the weather is nice and you need a fun things for all ages, this park is the spot.

    I cannot for the life of me figure out why my folks didn't bring us here every weekend as a kid…read moregrowing up in Plantation. This water park is fantastic. I came with my two kids (3 and 6), my parents, my brother and his family (1 and 6) and my high school friends and their kids (9 and 12) and EVERYONE had a blast! The key was to get there early so you could enjoy all the attractions without the lines that form as the day goes on. We found loungers right away, grabbed tubes and hit the lazy river, and after a few relaxing laps, we headed for the splash pad. My 3 year old didn't leave there for the rest of the day. He was completely enthralled with all of the splash features, water slides, and fun that surrounded him. The water was just deep enough that he could float around on his stomach but not deep enough to ever be too worried. The older kids and myself hit the big slides, which were a blast. For a small waterpark, these were solid. The design kept you on your toes and they picked up enough speed to give you a little rush. They have an onsite cafe but they also allow you to bring in your own cooler, which is amazing! We packed a picnic and had a great lunch as a group. The one pro-tip I have is to book a FUNBRELLA! We thought about it too late, but these shaded pavilions are perfect for groups and reasonably priced so you don't even need a special occasion to get one. Sure I remembered it being much bigger, but Paradise Cove delivered!

    Very fun! My daughter (6) loved all the slides. The park is big and there is lots to do. The staff…read morewas friendly and it was clean.

We ate at Corsair for dinner one of the nights and the food was wonderful. We also had the breakfast buffet, which you can get at Corsair or Bourbon Steak, which was tasty with a pretty good selection of food to choose from. The staff was so friendly and willing to help with whatever we needed. There's a Starbucks on the property with plenty of seating to sit and enjoy some coffee or your choice of drink. Tidal Cove, which is their water park/kids allowed pool, is also on the property and guests of the hotel can visit during the entirety of their stay for free. I think there's a restriction to the number of people, but we didn't have to worry about it since it was just my husband, me, and our young son. There was a kid's section with slides and shallow water, and there was a large pool for adults and kids, and then there was a "bigger kids"/adults section with much larger slides. All of this surrounded by a lazy river. The water is meant to be warm but it was pretty cold the first two days. Maybe the heater wasn't working but it was much better for the remaining days. There's a small restaurant that serves all kinds of food (they also have a kid's menu). There's also an ice cream shop, arcade, and a gift shop. It tends to get pretty crowded, particularly on the weekends. They accommodated us with a crib for our son at no additional charge, which was really nice. Now, the things that knocked off stars for us. It just doesn't feel like a 5 star resort. Things seem outdated. Their key card system was down and we were stuck in the garage for 20 minutes waiting in line to be let out (this issue was eventually somewhat fixed). The parking cost $45 for self parking PER DAY ($32 if you're just visiting Tidal Cove) and it was $55 for valet. I understand it's a high end hotel, but parking should never cost that much, ESPECIALLY for hotel guests. There really isn't much else to do if you're there for vacation if you're not going to Tidal Cove. Two restaurants, water park, and that was it. (Not including the Golf Course). I don't know, I guess I just expected more. The hotel isn't located near anything exciting. The mall is walkable distance, as well as the grocery store, drug store, and a park, but if you're looking to vacation somewhere where you can walk out and get excitement, this is not the place. I don't think i'd come back. I'd probably try somewhere close to South Beach next time.
