Read moreFirst off, Dolphin Discovery and the dolphin and sea lion programs are 5+ stars. The trainers/presenters are fantastic and fun, the experiences are amazing and everything runs smoothly.
And the sit-down eatery had good food and good service. Be warned the “swimmer meal” that comes with some of the packages is ONLY for hot dogs or cheeseburgers, which come with fries, and only soda for the drink. My kids are both vegetarians so I got one of the cheeseburgers and they both had to order off the menu. The waiter was great though and comped my kiddo’s lemonade and gave us refills of the sodas since we didn’t get a second burger/dog.
The water park, though, was a bit of a disappointment. They boast 10 water slides, but when we were there only 4 were running at first and then eventually more were added, but many of the slides were closed for repair. We wanted to get an icee, but they didn’t have it working, we wanted to get ice cream and they didn’t have chocolate and vanilla! We eventually found both, but it was going back and forth to different places trying to find what they all had advertised.
The overall state of the park is disrepair. The walkways up to the slides are all peeling and the railing and slide paint is chipped . There are brooms and welding hats and other stuff just hanging from or leaning against rails on the walkway.
Besides the slides, the only place for adults to be in water is the “lazy river.” I pictured a serpentine cement river with enough current to move you around it. Unfortunately, it’s a little too lazy and so instead of floating gently along a current, you barely move and get bored.
My kids had a fun time, and for the admission price, it’s still a decent deal, but come prepared with lower expectations. And also, if you plan to do the adventure course, zip lines or climbing wall, bring decent sneakers or shoes. Flip flops or slides make...
Read moreWould we go here again? Sure! We came here because we were on a cruise. We found that booking directly from its website was half the cost than from the cruise line. Yes, there's a possibility that we could be left if we didn't get back to the ship in time, but it was such a long port day that we weren't worried. We found an Uber to get us there from the cruise terminal. It took 20 mins, and It was about $15 for 6 people to get there. We were pleasantly surprised that our tickets included lunch. We couldn't pick from their full menu with it, just a cheese hamburger, hot dog, chicken nuggets, or a salad. It came with a drink. It was something to hold us over until we left to find tacos! We booked the sea lion experience. Dolphins are great, but sea lions are just fun and hilarious. Sea lions don't get enough credit, and we were the only ones in the group! We got to meet and interact with Diego and Popeye. Diego is a sweet young sea lion who was very gentle with our kids. All the interaction with Diego and kids were done on land because the sea lions get close and personable. They would knock the kids out in the water while giving them a kiss. Popeye is a bigger sea lion. All of us in our party got to pet Popeye as he swam numerous times by us. The adults were then able to get the same experience as the kids by sticking our tongues out, opening our mouths with the sea lion, and getting a great big kiss! This was done with pictures that cost 5,400 in pesos. That is about $320 US. That is ridiculous since we can't bring phones/cameras in. That's how they make their money. They won't haggle with you. After our fun with Diego and Popeye, we spent a couple of hours in the water park. It's a little run down but...
