I liked that it was close to Cedar Point, but the need to drive and pay for parking was a downside. The location is good if you're planning to visit the park, just don’t expect shuttle service.

I really enjoyed my stay at Castaway Bay, especially with its fun Caribbean-themed atmosphere that made me feel like I was on a mini vacation. The friendly staff and the variety of activities for kids, like the waterpark, created a great family experience. However, I did find the waterpark's abbreviated hours frustrating, especially since we arrived late on our first day and had limited time to enjoy it. Overall, it was a good experience, though there are some areas that could use improvement.

During my stay at Castaway Bay, I found the waterpark fun and my kids loved it, but I encountered multiple issues that made my experience less enjoyable. The front desk staff was friendly, yet the check-in process was unorganized, and significant maintenance issues persisted throughout our visit. While the resort's atmosphere was welcoming and the decor pleasing, I left with concerns about the overall service and attentiveness.

My recent stay at Castaway Bay had some highs and lows. The water park was actually enjoyable and kept my son entertained, but the cleanliness of the hotel left much to be desired. Overall, it felt a bit like a themed Comfort Inn, particularly in how the rooms were maintained, which was disappointing for the price I paid.

Rooms

Our room was basic but had practical features like a fridge and microwave, which were great for snacks. However, it also had issues like a loud AC and overall cleanliness that didn’t meet my expectations. The floor was grimy, and I felt uncomfortable sleeping there.

Service

The staff seemed friendly and worked hard despite being clearly understaffed. I noticed they were still cleaning rooms late into the evening, which showed their commitment, but it made me feel neglected since housekeeping didn’t respond to my request about a liquid puddle in the room.

The location is perfect for visiting Cedar Point, with included parking and early access to the park. However, the hotel's own surroundings weren’t well-kept, which detracted from my overall experience.
