Our stay didn't live up to our expectations, primarily due to the issues with the rooms and service. The location is decent, and it's a family-friendly spot, but the upsell for the waterpark wristbands felt unnecessary. Overall, while there are fun aspects for kids, we encountered several disappointments during our visit.

My family chose this hotel hoping for a fun water park experience, but we were let down. While the rooms were nice and the amenities seemed appealing, we were disappointed by the unavailability of the pool and some attractions during our stay. On the plus side, the location was beautiful, and the space was adequate for our family. However, overall, it was a frustrating experience, especially with poor communication about the pool's status.

Our stay at the hotel was quite disappointing. While the location is convenient and the water park is fun for the kids, the room we were given was not well-maintained and the service left much to be desired. We had several issues including uncleanliness and lack of amenities that made our stay less enjoyable. It's unfortunate because the property has potential, but serious improvements are needed to match the price we paid.

The hotel offers a lively atmosphere, ideal for families with children looking for fun activities and a water park. While the water park attractions were a highlight, the service was less than satisfactory with instances of rudeness experienced at check-in. The rooms are decent but need some updates, and unfortunately, noise can be an issue. Overall, the facilities provide enjoyment for kids, but the overall maintenance and customer service could use improvement.

I recently stayed at Bridges Bay Resort, and while there are some great amenities like the water park, my experience was marred by several issues. The room was outdated and not very clean, and the service left much to be desired. The resort has potential with its fun atmosphere, but significant improvements are needed to make it worth the price, especially considering the size of the accommodations.
