We had an amazing family trip over Memorial Day Weekend!! The breakfast Buffett in the morning is a must!! All the food is so fresh and tasty. We were very impressed with the indoor waterpark and the water coaster was a hit with my boys!! The food at the water park was also top notch!! We look forward to staying with Castaway Bay in the future!!

A great time

The stay at Castaway Bay was a girls trip for myself, my daughter and her daughters. The property superseded our expectations. The water park was big enough to keep the girls 4, 6, and 8 entertained and small enough to keep them safely contained. The daily activities were fun and engaging for their age. The staff were all patient and kind to the child customers. The overall stay was excellent. I will definitely do it again

Family weekend

We took our toddler for his birthday. It definitely exceeded our expectations. Room was great with a nice view of the bay. We were able to access the waterpark before check in. Overall a great family mini trip (1 night).

4/10 Fair

The hotel was fine but the water park inside was understaffed and the best rides were down do to maintenance so kind of pointless to spend extra to stay there.

This was our first time staying and it was an amazing adventure. We will most definitely be coming back. We came to celebrate our 13th birthday. We’ll be coming back to celebrate a third birthday in October.

Castaway was great and very family friendly, in my opinion it’s a better option than kalahari if you have smaller kids. The resort and water my 10 year olds loved!! And the staff were very welcoming and kind and friendly!

Family vacation with teenagers

Everything was great! Everything was clean, people were friendly, waterpark was great. I wish it had more of an outdoor area and a lazy river, but I knew that it didnt have that when booking. My two teenagers still had a great time, loved the waterpark and arcade. Went to Cedar Point for a day, the early access pass was the best. I do not reccommend Famous Dave's on site, better off going across the street to Thirsty Pony. The views from the 3rd floor patio are incredible. I would also splurge on the water facing room, I wish we had. The onsite food is pricey, but door dash is an option. The nacho bowl from the waterpark is worth the $ though.
Nighttime from the balcony
Right on the water!
View is incredible
Transported right to the beach when you walk in. The waterpark is fantastic!

The Guest services at check-in were polite, efficient and informative. I wish I had known the resurant attached to the hotel was closed. Good news, they are rebuilding to open a different restaurant.
