KeyLime Cove offers a fun waterpark experience for families, and the cleanliness of the rooms is commendable. While the dining options are convenient, they can be quite pricey and not always appealing. The overall atmosphere is vibrant, but the overcrowding in the waterpark and a few cleanliness issues need attention for a better experience.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at this hotel. While the water park was warm and great for my young children, we faced issues during check-in and cleanliness in our room was disappointing. The staff seemed overwhelmed, and the charges on my bill were confusing, leading to a frustrating checkout experience. Overall, there were enjoyable moments, but the negatives affected my stay.

We had a blast during our staycation! The location was perfect, and the water park was a fantastic destination for the kids. However, I did notice some rooms lack microwaves, and I believe the pool regulations could be a bit better. Overall, the cleanliness and fun activities made it a memorable experience for our family.

We had a fantastic mini-vacation at Key Lime Cove! The waterpark was really fun for the kids and the arcade kept them entertained for hours. The room was spacious and clean, but we did encounter some plumbing issues with the toilet. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would consider returning, especially for the great family activities available.
