Our stay at this park was fantastic, as it offered excellent facilities for both kids and adults. The water park with numerous slides kept everyone entertained, while the spacious cabins provided comfort. However, we faced some challenges with muddy sites due to rain, which was a downside. Despite this, the experience was enjoyable overall, and we can't wait to return.

We had a fantastic stay at this resort, especially for our kids. The water park and nightly outdoor movies kept them entertained, and the grounds were spotless. The location is good, with convenient access to Airlie Beach and nearby shops. However, the cabin we stayed in was a bit dated, and we found the entry policy during peak season to be frustrating, particularly for visitors wishing to join family already staying at the resort.
