This place is fun for a few hours, but riding the same four slides over and over gets old. The accommodations are quite nice. The family villas are fantastic!

We stayed 2 nights the Monday and Tuesday after Easter. It wasn't busy at all, in fact there were times when we were the only people eating in the restaurants, and the water park had fewer guests it normally would. The lifeguards were very attentive. The clientele was good. I have a 9 and 4 year old and the variety... More

Very little parking. Long line to check in. We got to our room and we could not get the door opened. The light would be green but you had to slam into the door to get it open. Called and complained, they moved us to another room. Got there, the phone cable was smashed against the wall by the bolted... More

You expect price gouging from anything to do with a waterpark. What you dont expect is a barely staffed inefficient unclean mess but thats what you get at fort rapids.Drive a little farther and go to Coco Key or Kalahari the staff at coco key wont care they'll be glad you did and so will you.

We were told this place was as good as kalahari, if not better. Not even close!! The kids liked the waterpark, but the rooms were terrible! Our room didnt have a working fridge or air conditioner. Try getting 4 kids to sleep when its 80 degrees in there. So at midnight, we went to the front desk and they switched... More

Our family has gone to this waterpark and hotel two times. We have gone both times for a family reunion and all our families had small children. When we went last year, the water was freezing and it was so crowded all over the place. We decided to give it another try and regret we did. The water was actually... More

Water park was nice, not enough room in the dressing rooms. If there are more than 5 people in the changing area's you are bumping elbows with everybody. The room was out dated. The bunk beds that were in the room did not have fitted sheets on them, had to call the front desk to get some. They did not... More
