No complimentary bfast for a $470/night room. :( the room is not upgraded like usb ports. No complimentary bottled waters. Not worth the price or it’s too pricey. The water park is so fun but i wanted to ride the surf but it was closed. Most of the restaurants are closed too we have to leave the hotel to get some food but they let us bring our food from outside which is good.

No Complimentary bfast and complimentary bottled waters in our room. We have to go to the vending machine that charge us $3/bottle. The $470/night should also have complimentary bfast.

The room was very clean I thought it was spacious and the staff was very courteous

The towel return staff one member was extremely rude and called us ignorant for not knowing to return the towels To them not to put it in the bin like I did when I noticed I let them know what I did and that’s when he called us ignorant

This was my first experience at GWL! I liked how they thought of everything for the kids. I liked to water park, ice cream parlor, pizza restaurant and of course the morning breakfast buffet was excellent.

Long line for check in. The person that assisted us at chek in asked if it was our first time and I said yes. She didn't explain the whole process of checking in/out of the hotel. I didn't know that we are automatically checked out at 11am. I also paid for the breakfast buffet for my family and she didn't give me the voucher. She called my room later in thr night and asked me to come pick it up at the front desk. I was already tired and had already showered and was ready for bed and I had to walk downstairs to get the voucher. She should have brought it up to us in the room since she forgot to give it to me.

Really nice place . Too many thing to do with the kids. Pool, Arcade, bowling….The breakfast was amazing , very good price. Room nice and clean.

They charge extra for the room. I pay at booking $263 and they charge $291. First she said that The kids are not in the reservation so she added. I didn’t have my iD so I had to go and come back . Another lady attend me. I showed her my reservation from booking with the 2 kids included. They took my phone inside the office for a while and then she come back and told me that was for the parking. But she already told me that the parking was included in the room cost. Anyways I paid it …we are so tired after a flight of 7 hrs ….so they want to charge me more they did it.

Lots of fun activities for the kids right on-site.

At first my door wouldn’t open from my wristband and I had to make a few trips back and forth to the front desk while leaving my young kids and bags unattended in front of the room. At first I was told it was the door and to wait for an engineer to fox, then I went back up and they told me it wasn’t the door, it was my wristband and that I had to go back down for a new one. It would also be nice if some plastic cutlery was included in the room and maybe some bottled water.

Great water park and gaming facilities, comfortable rooms, friendly staff, free wolf ears

Would have liked a hot tub in the water park area. Charged me $50Aus on my credit card days after we left for a pool towel we didn’t return but we did. Had to make a trip back there to sort it out. Pizza was expensive

It was simple to check in the facility is and was always clean throughout our whole stay, also everyone who work there was always polite and helpful and of course, the best part is the water slides.

There’s nothing I can say that I did not like about this property. Sorry.

It had many different areas not just one spot to get wet. I’m gonna say about 4 big water slides one had 4 individual slides so 8 A kiddie section and a kid section. Hotel has a lot of room many areas to hang out. An arcade mini bowling, mini golf, laser tag so much to do.

Checked in by 3:50 room wasn’t ready until 4:45 but they were very professional when i complained and they offered to help and fix the issue.
