How old are the kids? When we stayed there (2010 I think) our kids were 6 and 9 and they had a really fun time. The water slides were perfect for that age. I think if the kids were older they might not have had as much fun. Also, at that time I believe Beaches were connected w/Sessame Street as there were characters that came around at night. My kids were never into SS so they didn't really care about them. I can't comment on the rooms, as I can't remember exactly what we stayed in. I know it wasn't fancy. I believe it may have just been a double. It was fine for our needs.
