Hotel H2O is definitely meant for children and their families. The ocean park and its events are very much geared towards young children. The restaurants are more like fast food, with many being full of fried things. There weren’t a lot of restaurants around the area outside of the ocean park.
We had an aqua room. When we arrived, we went into our room to discover a crack in the sink and one in the bathroom counter. No matter what temperature the room was set, there was a pervasive cold damp feeling in it. I joked to my husband that there must be a ghost haunting our room. I was only warm when I doubled the blanket over myself, otherwise the heat I managed to generate quickly left me.
The walls were ridiculously thin. We could hear everything, from both walls of our neighbors. The first night, my husband said he woke up around midnight, to a kid and his parents excitedly talking about their room. The second and final night, I laid in bed awake until sometime after 11:30, because the other side’s neighbors had their tv blaring and were laughing and playing games loudly.
Breakfast was something we had paid for, but left something to be desired. There weren’t many options outside of bread, and the eggs had a greenish tint and hadn’t been fully cooked in places.
On our way out, we were asked to wait for five minutes while they checked the room. Thirty minutes later, when I asked about it, they had forgotten about us. We took the unbroken elevator down and happily moved on.
