The hotel is full of animals and it's so dirty. The water park entrance and access is an absolute mess. I was going to get right back in the car when the kid who sat and watched me TRY to use the kiosk to check in and said nOT a word until I asked what I was doing wrong. He said nothing. It doesn't work. It took me to count to 10 twice so I didn't tell at this jerk. It's my daughter's b day so I'm gonna zip it and keep it moving. We get in and it's a lovely LITTLE park. I dunno who said it isn't for little kids there is a baby pool and a baby slide. The baby pool is where everyone is because it's the only warm place in the joint. I tried out the lazy river. I'd prefer the lazy river to actually be lazy. You cruise thru at a cool 15mph so hold on to your hat! (I'm kidding about the speed but it is super fast and not at all relaxing or visually appealing. My main complaints are. 1. The Air Conditioning and high speed fans are making everyone but the staff miserable. Everyone is walking around shivering. I can't see anyone doing this in the winter. It is 80 degrees today and it is freezing in here. 2. No contactless payment options for Android users. Who brings their wallet to a water park? So we will be leaving early to get warm and to eat. A waste of a day. Not a good experience.

"Worth going to at least once"
TripAdvisor user rating 3.0 out of 5

Solid three stars. Worth it if you can get a discount, not worth it if you have to pay full price. If you have littles under 36" there's not much for them to do - and the Adventure Pool didn't have the basketball hoops. Also, Paradise Adult Island is basically a pool and bar, no hot tub as one would expect. Granted, we went on a Sunday immediately after Labor Day weekend, but there were plenty of seats, so don't pay for a cabana unless you really want to. Food prices are typical ballpark/boardwalk, abour $15 for a cheeseburger or sausage and peppers sandwich (the latter was especially good!) Also, note the boardwalk theming - the sections under the "arcade" signage are seating, no arcade machines. All in all, good to try at least once, but not sure if would go here repeatedly.

Very small, there’s no hot tubs, there’s only like one small pool, no wave pool…. There supposedly an adult section you have to pay more for. It’s not worth the money …

"Over Priced!!!"
TripAdvisor user rating 3.0 out of 5
Reviewed August 18, 2024
Overpriced! They didn’t even allow my swim shoes. Everyone was forced to walk around barefoot and the floor was like stone. I seen too many band aids laying around on the floor to count as well as random items that could be stepped on. Not clean enough for bare feet! My feet were hurting so bad after being there for 2 hours. Definitely should have more slides for the price. Lockers are $15 but not big so if you go as a family you’ll go broke just on storage. There are no changing areas and the bathrooms don’t have hooks or anywhere to hang clothes or anything. And eat before you go! Food is expensive as well. If it’s just you and 1 kid I’d suggest going after 4pm, it’s cheaper. But as a family NOT worth the money at all, even after 4pm. The hype from their advertising is exaggerated. I’m not cheap and I splurge on my children all the time. There’s so much more to do In Atlantic City and in New Jersey that is worth your money.

Bit smaller then expected but kids had a good time. Not worth a full price ticket. Look for Groupon if available. Take your own towels. Staff was friendly. Lots of food options inside. Seating was a bit of an issue due to mostly table seating and not many loungers. Would go again for a day trip.
