While the water park was a hit with my kids and provided some fun moments, our stay was overshadowed by uncomfortable sleeping arrangements and a lack of cleanliness. The hotel needs to improve on several fronts, especially housekeeping and service to enhance the overall guest experience. It's worth mentioning the dining options were quite good, but the long wait times at check-in were frustrating.

We had a fantastic family gathering at Bridges Bay, enjoying spacious rooms and a fun water park experience. The kids loved every moment at the water park, and the cleanliness of our accommodations was a definite bonus. However, the dining at the cantina could be better, as there were times it felt understaffed. Also, some staff interactions could be improved as we did encounter a few rude moments during check-in and at the pool area.

Our stay at the resort was mixed. We really enjoyed the water park's attractions and activities for kids, which kept our family entertained. However, the room we stayed in was a major letdown, as it wasn't cleaned properly and lacked basic amenities. Dining on-site was also disappointing with higher prices for subpar food. Overall, it felt like we paid a premium for not-so-great accommodations.

Our stay at Bridges Bay Resort had its highs and lows. On the positive side, the indoor water park was a hit with the kids, providing hours of fun, and the family suite we rented was spacious. However, the service was lacking-staff were often unprofessional, and our room wasn't ready at check-in time. Overall, it could be a fun getaway for families, but improvements are needed in service quality.

We had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms were clean and spacious, living up to expectations, the service left much to be desired with several operational issues, especially regarding the hot tubs and pool. The main amenities were often closed or malfunctioning, which was disappointing and impacted our stay significantly. On the positive side, the location was fun for families, and the water park attractions are enjoyable when they're open.
