I had a decent experience at Castaway Bay, mostly thanks to the fun waterpark, which my kids thoroughly enjoyed. The hotel's location near Cedar Point was a major plus, making it easy for us to head to the amusement park. However, I found some aspects of the hotel a bit dated and in need of improvement, especially regarding the cleanliness of certain areas. Overall, I wouldn't want to stay for more than a night or two, mainly because of the high cost and some discomforts during our stay.

While the rooms were clean, they felt a bit outdated and could use a good deep clean. The mattresses weren't the best either.

The waterpark was fun for my kids, but it felt relatively small for the price we paid. The snack shack, while convenient, was also overpriced.

The Starfish room was small but clean. Unfortunately, it had vinyl floors that felt grimy at times. There were no curtains for privacy when changing, and I would've appreciated an iron in the room.

The waterpark was the star of our visit! It had a great atmosphere and enough attractions for my children to enjoy without long waits. However, the changing area could use better privacy options.

I had a great time at Castaway Bay, especially with my family! The waterpark offers a fun mix of attractions catering to both younger and older kids, though I did find the evening water temperature a bit chilly. The check-in process was quite slow, which was disappointing. Overall, it's a solid choice, but there are a few areas that could use improvement. 🌊😊
