Imagine this: lush greenery surrounds you, the gentle current of a lazy river carries you along, and the rhythmic murmur of water cascades from playful buckets overhead.
This tropical dream becomes reality at the Ocean Coral Spring’s lazy river. This was the first place I went to visit once I got checked in. It’s where guests take a refreshing dip, or simply float and soak in the ambiance. Lounge chairs beckon for relaxation at strategic points along the river’s path, while a nearby bar keeps your thirst quenched.
For the little ones, there’s a dedicated water wonderland. Excitement fills the air as children squeal with delight on the water slide, while parents unwind on shaded lounge chairs, keeping a watchful eye.
A sparkling pool offers another spot for splashy fun, and a convenient restaurant ensures families don’t have to venture far for refreshments.
