“Great time!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 February 2012 NEW

We stayed for the Super saver sundays this month. This included a free breakfast buffet and four mini golf passes. The water park is huge and so much fun. There were dozens of things for my two year old daughter to do. They had an elephant shaped water slide in the toddler zone that she loved going down over and... More

I wrote a review that explained my horrible experience and it was never posted. My guess is trip advisor is paid to only post good or positve reviews therefore i will not trust or use trip advisor again More

“Ridiculous!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 February 2012 NEW

We planned a trip to Kalahari for my sisters birthday. We bought day passes ahead of time. We drove 2 hours to get there. Upon our arrival we were told that they were at capacity and that we could not go into the water park. The website said that the waterpark opened at 10 but it really opened at 9.... More

The hotel was nice. The waterpark was huge and had alot of things to do. Great game room. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean and well kept. The staff was excellent. They were very friendly and helpful. The only drawback is the price and you have to walk alot. More

My sister in law and I stayed on Feb 8, 2012. We have stayed several times before. The water park itself was a little colder than usual. Went in the Wave pool first and the water was cold. Then we found out all of the water was cold. Went into the hot tubs...all of them were not hot enough. I... More

Thank you so very much for taking the time to review our resort and visiting us. I apologize for your experience with the cold water temps. I have already had the waterpark management take a look into our temperatures, so they are making the appropriate adjustments. Thank you for letting us know. I do hope you will come and visit...

The staff at this resort are all very friendly and service was very quick for getting extra items. Check in was very long but the desk staff were very friendly even though some guests were not very friendly to them. We had a King Lodge suite which was very nice and the kitchen was very well equipped for our stay.... More

“Great Customer Service = Great Stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

From the minute I drove up to to the minute I drove off you feel like you are the only guest at the resort. Food was very good, water park was clean, resort was very well maintained. Try to avoid a holiday weekend as the water park can be a bit crowded. More
