My husband and I surprised our four kids with an overnight at Keylime Cove and it was fabulous. All of kids loved it, the service was friendly and so helpful, the food was fabulous and more then we expected. I would recommend getting a sun pass it was worth the money. My kids are already asking when can we go... More

Thought a mini vacation was just what I needed, well there is where it all went wrong. My family and our friends (4 adults, 2 kids total) decided to go here for a mini vacation. It started off bad at the front desk with a check in process that was a joke and ended bad. So at check-in my friend... More

Dear CJ2347, Thank you for sharing your feedback on our resort. We sincerely apologize for the confusion at check-in. Our system allows our guests to split the cost of the overnight room between separate credit cards at the time of check-in and check-out. Perhaps where the miscommunication occurred was due to a request to leave a credit card open for... More

Key Cove is a mixed bag. Pros- no keys but a wristband room entrance, festive and bright atmosphere and waterpark, good service at restaurants, attentive ligeguards, decent arcade, clean rooms. Cons - very rough crowd with many lazy parents not supervising wild-out-of-control aggressive kids. This isn't the resort's fault but our two times here we observed the same type of... More

Bought a discounted voucher through Planit Northwest. We were able to check in early at 1:30pm and check out at noon (just request late check out the night before). The water park has so much to offer that I did not see my 2 nephews for 3 hours after we entered the park. The arcade is comparable to Dave &... More

We've never been to a place like this and the kids loved it. For anyone who doesn't know what this is, it's essentially a mall, arcade, and small waterpark all stuffed into a hotel. I would think for someone in the Midwest it would be perfect for that miserable tail end of winter around February or March, when you just... More

Recently over spring break I left my watch in one of the hotel room drawers (yes, I know I should have put it in the safe, I forgot). I called the hotel immediately to let them know as well as left a message with the head of housekeeping. Supposedly they followed their procedures by going back into the room and... More

This is a great place for kids! It was clean and there was lots to do. The restaurants were overpriced, so we ate out. We got there early on Friday and it was empty. Of course, Saturday and Sunday were much busier. I would recommend visiting during the week. Overall, a good time was had by all.

We stayed during the week this time and had an even better experience then the last time when we went during a busy holiday (we loved it that time as well!). It wasn't that busy which was nice to be able to go on the bigger slides with minimal waiting and have the place pretty much to ourselves. EVERYONE there... More

We have been going to Key Lime Cove for years and we are big fans. The overall appearance of the resort, water park and lobby area is something you can't find in this area. Food is fine.
