Miranda, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My family absolutely loved it here! The kids had a blast at the water park and game room. I liked how they had a little show for the kids with different characters during certain times. Guest service was fast and friendly and check in/checkout was really quick and easy. We enjoyed our 2 day stay here and at Cedar Point, which is right around the corner from the hotel.

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 The property superseded our expectations.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

Fun place to stay!

Initial checkin was great. Super friendly and helpful staff also. The room was clean and well maintained. It was comfortable enough for us. We used it as a landing spot for our visits to Cedar Point. It was a bonus to have the water park and other fun activities there as well. What a great trip!! My kids loved this place!! The ONLY negative thing I have to say is about the elevators. They are the slowest elevators I’ve used. Otherwise, we will be back again.

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!!

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.

We were not happy with the service. We were there from wendsday to Sunday and our room was not cleaned once. We had pizza and we were not happy with how the service was and on Saturday the wooden slide was not working

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!

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!
