Very good family resort. My 8 year spent the whole week in the kids club and loved it, he didnt want to leave it. The beach waves were really large but still fun to play in. My only complaint is that kids evening activities start at 9p.m which is rediculas should be started by 8 pm. The horrible lobby music... More

We were sent there due to a over booking at the golden. So that being said I wasn't planning on a trip with any children around. We have our time share at a very children friendly resort and would take that one hands down to this one. Main reason is the size you could truely lose a child here. The... More

We went in January with a 5, 7 and 9 year old. Weather was cool-ish for swimming, which was a little disapppointing. Our rooms were spacious but housekeeping failed to give us towels twice. We woke up daily at 7am to loud hallway music piped in from the hotel. The restaurants were very disappointing. We ate mostly at the buffet,... More

I am not sure what the fuss is all about. We had a great time and the food was good as well. We were in an ocean front suite and the view was spectacular! ! One thing that stands out is cleanliness. There is staff scrubbing the whole hotels 24x7. We went at peak season when the resort was full... More

We stayed here for 3 nights mid Dec 2011. Our son (11yrs) enjoyed the waterpark even though it's small. The orange area that shows the 2 slides coming out is for children 48" or taller. There are only 2 slides there and then the other side (separated by a wall and accessible through the children's club) with the pirate ship... More

We were 4 adults and 4 teens that met at the Great Parnassus from 12/21-12/28. Let's get the minor cons out of the way first. I read many reviews ahead of time and so anticipated towel issues and elevator issues. Towels: It's true that there is inconsistency about having enough towels left in your room. The fix: Order them daily... More
