    wonderful staff
    fantastic breakfast

    It was just a great match for a couple of nights in Baxter with all in all brilliant value for money. The staff was wonderful, making breakfast fantastic and always ready to help. If you have kids, brace for a noisy environment with all the families around, especially near the waterpark.

    toilet issue
    slow service

    Staff greeted us warmly upon arrival, ensuring an early check-in went smoothly. The water park was a hit with the kids, offering endless fun, but some noise from other guests disrupted our experience during the night. While the room was clean and spacious, a slight issue with the toilet took longer to resolve than expected. Breakfast had local fresh products, which we appreciated.

    Great Family Waterpark Experience

    We had a wonderful time at the waterpark, which was the highlight of our stay! The staff was incredibly friendly, and our suite was spacious and perfect for our family. The hotel’s location made it easy to access nearby restaurants and shops. However, the breakfast area was quite crowded, and they could benefit from additional seating.

    minor issue

    The indoor wave pool and the lazy river were perfect relaxation spots after a fun-filled day. The only hiccup was a minor tub issue that was quickly resolved, so bring some snacks for the kids while you wait! 🌊

    great stay but minor room issue

    The staff consistently offered friendly service, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The water park was enjoyable, providing plenty of fun for the kids, and the snack shack staff were just as pleasant.

    There was a minor issue with the tub not draining properly.

    delicious mexican cuisine
    friendly staff
    great breakfast options
    high chlorine levels
    poor air quality

    You’ve gotta try the Bernese Fries at El Tequila Mexican—absolutely next-level! The waterpark was major fun for the kids, and the staff were super friendly and attentive. Plus, the breakfast spread had something for everyone, making our mornings a delight!

    The chlorine levels in the waterpark were a bit too high, causing some nose-twitching moments. My kiddo developed a rash after a long splash fest, so a little ventilation improvement wouldn't hurt.

    water park
    friendly desk staff
    cleanliness issues
    crowded breakfast

    The water park provided a great time for my family. The slides were fun, and the hot tubs offered a nice place to relax. The friendly front desk staff kept the area tidy and welcoming. However, I noticed the game room was out of order, which was disappointing. Our room was spacious but had a few cleanliness issues. I found several hairs in the bathtub, and the drain plug didn’t function properly. Breakfast had good options, but it got crowded quickly, making it hard to find seating. The kitchen and bar staff in the water park were nice, but the overall breakfast experience could improve with more staff to manage the rush.

    Nice Stay, Great Water Park Experience!

    Had a fantastic time at the water park! The staff were accommodating, even allowing early check-in. The slides catered well to kids, and my family loved it. Pro tip, arrive early to maximize your fun! Room comfort was decent, just a bit noisy at night.

    The water park was a delightful surprise, absolutely perfect for families! I loved the adult hot tub where I could unwind while still keeping an eye on the kids splashing around. Such a cozy and cheerful environment.
