1) Grizzly Bear Suite — best for larger families or multi-generation groups

Who it's for: Families who want room to spread out, grandparents traveling with kids, or parties that need the most beds in a single suite. The living area also makes it easier to contain clutter and keep wet park gear away from sleeping spaces.
- Sleeps multiple adults and children in one suite
- Separate living area for privacy
- Water park access included with the suite stay

4) Deluxe Suite (Shower) and Deluxe Suite (Bathtub) — best if you prefer a classic hotel layout
Why pick them: Both Deluxe Suite types are listed with 2 Queen Beds and differ by bathroom (shower vs. bathtub). Choose based on whether you need a tub for small children or prefer a shower-only layout.
Who they're for: Guests who want a simpler suite footprint with two queen beds and fewer themed extras — good for families who plan to spend most of their time in the water park.
- 2 Queen Beds in both variants
- Pick 'Bathtub' if you need a tub for baths or toddlers; pick 'Shower' for quicker rinse-offs
- Lower capacity and simpler layout than the Family Suite or Grizzly Bear Suite
