We were very unimpressed with the lack of customer service from both front desk and water park staff; they were rude, unresponsive, and failed to acknowledge guests as they were preoccupied with personal conversations. The room was dark and dirty, furnishings seemed nice though and great views of the lakes. The waterpark was small, lifeguards were constantly blowing their whistles... More

The moment I stepped out of the cold and into the lobby of Bridges Bay my glasses fogged over and the familiar scent of chlorine washed over me. I had rented a two room suite for a small, family birthday celebration; and chose this place because small children and water in winter.. in Iowa just belong together. This resort has... More

We have stayed at Bridges Bay several times since they opened a few yrs back. The first couple yrs after opening, it was fairly nice. Now, everytime we go back it goes downhill. During our last stay this past weekend, we were really dissapointed in the cleanliness of the room. We rented a suite and it really needed a good... More

Honestly have no clue why the bad reviews. New condos, clean, decent waterpark that isn't crowded. What more can you ask? Perfect 2 day get away. If you are a huge waterpark fan, you might be disappointed, but we knew what we were in for.

We have stayed at Bridges Bay twice. Both times we rented a 3 bedroom condo. This is by far the most up-to-date place to stay in Okoboji, but the condos are very expensive in the summer months, as are most condos and resorts in Okoboji. We most recently stayed three nights in December and it was much less expensive than... More

Bridges Bay is located on East Okoboji Lake. The location is handy to everything in the Lakes region. We rented a suite for two nights in September and found it very comfortable. The resort has an indoor water park - passes to the water park are included with the rentals.

My family has been staying at Bridges Bay for the past 5 years. Excellent location, excellent service. We have a great time every year. This hotel has a little something for everyone...water park/pool for our children. Swim-up bar for the adults. Bracco's Restarant etc. We'll continue with our family vacation for years to come.

very clean, modern and spacious. Friendly staff. Great pool/swim up bar. Enjoyed the beautiful view of the lake. Decent location - not really walking distance to town but a quick drive will get you there.

I was a little hesitant after reading the poor reviews about this hotel, but was very pleasantly surprised. We stayed 1 night on Labor Day weekend with our three little kids. The hotel was sold out, but check-in was a breeze even at 6:30 PM. Our room was clean and modern and the balcony was a nice touch. The bathroom... More
