"The family slides are fun. The kids love it and we all head a fun time. But stupid expensive. From room prices to food. For 3 nights you can book all inclusive and airfare to Cancun. So you have to really make sure you come early on the day you check in and stay as late as you can when checking out, to get the most out of the place."
