frequent buses comfortable chairs outdated room strange smell

The Bayliner Diner offered a convenient walk to and from the buses that went to the parks. The buses came frequently, and the rides were short. I liked the pool area. It had many chairs.

My room seemed outdated. The AC vent had a strange smell. my door did not lock, and I had an issue with the shower curtain lining. It fell off.

nightly movies pool movies dark rooms nice rooms late swimming swimming hour food options limited options payment breakdown missing breakdown check-in process slow process

I loved that there were nightly movies by the pool for everyone, it was so fun! i also slept really well in the rooms. They were nice and dark. i especially liked being able to swim until 11pm.

The food wasn't the best. I wish there were more options. i also wish i was offered a print out of my payment breakdown when i checked in. instead, i only received it when i was leaving :(. i think that's kinda weird.

Retro Fun and Easy Access

lazy river pool bar themed design view suite

The resort is big, and the two pools and lazy river kept my son so busy. Pool bars and real sand with loungers were awesome. I stayed in a Volcano Bay view suite. The 1950s theme made it so easy and cool.
