This is a nice hotel with a great waterpark. First off the bad of the hotel. Prior reviews are dead on about the service. They do not care about you. My story. I had a 3 year old that threw up on the way to the Kalahari (in the vehicle, twice on a 5 hour trip). We called ahead and... more

We just returned from a 5 night stay at the Kalahari resort in Wisconsin Dells and had a very positive experience. Our check-in Sunday afternoon was quick and very friendly. We had a great room in the main building that had a balcony overlooking the outdoor waterpark. The room was very spacious. I found everything to be very clean, including... more

Our family of 17 (10 adults, 7 children, ages 2-12) just returned from our three day stay in the spacious Entertainment Loft. What a great stay! The pictures do not do this place justice. The price can be a bit hard to swallow, especially in the high season, but it was worth it. Our 5 different family units were spread... more

Our first trip to Wisconsin Dells did not live up to hype. I've been hearing about the place since I was a kid and finally took my four year old. The town is just a tourist trap with T-Shirt shops and decpite what you read the economy is not bad, The town and every hotel was packed. People where spending... more

The lobby is beautiful. Kids will gravitate to the candy counter. They do not do a good job on their web site or on the phone of disclosing if the room you are booking is in The Sands building or the main building. If you want to be close to the waterparks avoid the Sands building. The rooms were good... more

We had previously stayed at The Great Wolf Lodge, and while we enjoyed our stay there we didn't love it. And while I hear great things about the Wilderness, many of the famillies with small children complained about the walking between the waterparks. We decided to try out the Kalahari and we're not disappointed. The atmosphere from when you frist... more

I just noticed that the Kalahari Resort in Sandusky has been cited 5 times for safety issues. On our visit it was very appearant that safety was not the top priority to the teenage lifeguards. The total number of lifeguards on staff was not the problem. In fact, there were lifeguards everywhere...they were mostly chatting and basically doing nothing! It... more

My family and a group of other friends and family decided to venture on a trip to the much talked about Wisconsin Dells. After much research on tripadvisor, resort websites and the Wisconsin Dells tourist magazine, we decided to book with the Kalahari. We booked early spring and got an amazing deal to stay in one of their Village Suites.... more

The advertisement says dancing servers, loud music, bright colors, juggling bartenders. That caught our attention! We were celebrating DH's birthday. We did see a bartender juggle once; no dancing servers; LOUD, and I do mean loud, music; and bright colors that blink on and off and wave in and out-yep, had that for sure. Almost blinds you, especially when you... more
