We are a family of 5. 3 kids' ages ranged from 13, 11, and 8. Splash condos were perfect for us. You have plenty of options for activities. The beach with 2 lounge chairs and an umbrella available. You check in near the beach in the am for your location. There is a lazy river and 3 other pool areas for the kids to play. There is also a hot tub and splash slides area. Some Splash inner tubs are available in the lazy river. You can bring your own or get some right across the street at Alvin's Island Surf store. You can get other beach accessories and clothes.
Condo was on the 8th floor which was a decent floor with the limited elevators and all the traffic. As other reviews stated, there are only 2 elevators for each tower. You need to plan and be prepared to wait and share the elevator. Our visit was in early August and there were a decent amount of people, but peak season may be worse. I would not stay any higher than the 8th floor if there is a need to take the stairs. When arriving luggage carts can be tricky to find. Since many have been used and guests don't return to the proper locations. We found them on our floor, in the garage and in the lobby at times.
The condo has a great layout and set up. Showers were nice and big. Washer and Dryer were great to have in the condo. Need to bring or buy detergent to use. Provided one packet. Same for the dish washer. My tip is to buy dawn dish soap and hand soap for the kitchen sink. Some things you just want to do a quick wash. Soap is provided for bathrooms. Walmart and Target are near drive away for a shopping trip. It was great to stock up food and various other items.
Richard, the owner, is great to work with and good communicating. Very nice and communicates with you and responds in a timely manner.
There is a hut on the beach to pay for activities like parasailing and jet skis. We truly had a wonderful vacation.
