I have stayed there 4-5 times. This last visit was the worst. They gave us room 315 knowing that there is banging in the wall from air in the pipes without telling us. I mentioned it to the clerk when we checked out and she said "Oh yeah, we know about that. or maintenance staff gave up trying to figure out how to fix it" I know that they are shutting down the water park for maintenance in November, but the safety tape and cone look shotty and still didn't stop a kid from almost going down the broken slide. The bed and housekeeping were great. But giving someone a crappy room without a discount is underhanded.

Had such high hopes for this place since we stayed in November in a differnt building and had a wonderful place. This time around.. not so much. Upon arriving at 5pm (which is a ridiculous check in time) we went to throw some trash in the kitchen garbage to find it completely full and stunk so we took that out and replaced the garbage bag. Then to use the bathroom noticed a flosser and cap from razor on the floor and hardly any toilet paper (had to go purchase our own) then went to have a cocktail on the deck and no table, mind you every other deck had a table. The fridgerator looked like it had been hit with hail as there were many many dents. It is obvious this room was not cleaned. I guess for $285/night I expect more.

One of the worst experiences ever. I booked this room through Expedia. Nine days before I was to be there, I realize I put the wrong date in. I tried to have the date moved, they said they can’t do that, I tried to get a refund and they said they cannot do that. They said I had to contact Expedia. I contacted Expedia and they said they cannot help me. So needless to say I lost out on hundreds of dollars. Even if I would’ve gotten protection on my trip, it still wouldn’t have worked. Talk about a racket in order to get people’s money. Nine days before my trip and I can’t get the date moved or get a refund. What kind of world do we live in? I’m about to say never use Expedia again.

The place was awesome except there was no microwave in the room. With most of the restaurants being closed down because they're only open seasonal you should at least consider that and have a microwave in the room. That is the only reason I didn't give five stars

We paid for a king room with a view of the lake at an upcharge for Labor Day weekend. What we got was anything but that. No king bed, no view of the lake and unhelpful staff that said there was no supervisor or manager on duty. We stayed one night and just left the next morning. How disappointing.

The rooms were nice we had a 2 bedroom with bunk beds. However we did not have a patio or balcony which was disappointing. Kitchenette with microwave and small fridge and a bar sink. Room did not have blackout drapes and sink in bathroom did not drain. It’s ridiculous that you have to pay extra for the “waterpark” which is not kept up. Caution tape in multiple spots. Water in outdoor pool was ice cold. Needs a good cleaning and some TLC. Outdoor spa was the temp the pool should have been. $28 for a day pass per person is crazy when the pool is not even useable unless you want an ice bath. It was 90 degrees the day we were there so a working pool would have been nice.

Stones have fallen the outside of the building not been replace and some siding was missing. The waterfront restaurant refused to seat us near the water because some tables were not bused and they didn't have staff to clean them was their answer, even though employees were standing around, 14 tables were empty. so much for the waterfront. Would have been a great sunset.

We had a suite, which was nice. The door was dirty, the room was good but the bed wasn't super comfortable. The door to get to the little deck around, the seal was gone and didn't really close. The restaurants were good. Loved the bar. We had an amazing bartender, Aspen. She was the highlight of the stay. The pool was DIRTY. Its almost like they dont have a bottom cleaner. The build up on the bottom of the pools deterred us from even using the pool. Overall, we wouldn't to back. But if we go back to okiboji, we would go to the restaurant and bar.

Rates seemed really high for our room, coffee machine was down for the most of our time there (really wish there would have been real creamer and tea/hot cocoa for the kids). Along those same lines being that we went here for a family trip it becomes incredibly difficulty and expensive when there is not any continental breakfast available. The pool was also very costly for a family of 5 to swim for a few hours at a time. Attached restaurants were also not the greatest food choices and much too expensive for the quality of food being offered. Our room had leftover trash from previous people, our bathtub was dirty as well, and the hallways were often dirty with crumbs and other items like toilet plungers, toilet paper, and trash that people would set outside their doors. We had some discrepancies with the purchase of our arm bands for swimming which was frustrating and never got resolved. We also spent over $100 on the arcade games split between our kids and walked away with 3 prizes that probably cost about $0.10 each and cards that we couldn’t use all of the credits or tokens on because the games required more credits than “4 remaining” and such. Our overall experience at okibojj itself was great but we will definitely considered staying somewhere else for a multitude of reasons in the future.

We recently stayed at the resort during a family trip to Okoboji. When we arrived, we were able to check in and start using the swimming pools, which the kids were excited about. However, we were disappointed to find out that our room only included two pool passes, even though our reservation was for a family of five. We had to pay additional fees for our three children to use the pool. I really feel like this is something that should be made much clearer to families before booking, as we were not expecting the extra expense. The outdoor pool was also extremely cold—so cold that it really wasn’t enjoyable to swim in. Thankfully, the indoor pool was great, and the kids enjoyed that much more. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of our room was another major disappointment. There was dirt and grime on the walls and floors, and the ceiling fan had what looked like years of dust built up on it. The room definitely needed a much more thorough cleaning. We also had issues with the TVs not working the way they were supposed to, which added to the frustration. Overall, I think the resort has potential, especially for families, but there are definitely areas that need improvement. Being more upfront about the number of pool passes included with each room, improving room cleanliness and maintenance, and addressing the outdoor pool temperature would make a big difference. Okoboji itself is a beautiful area and a very nice place to visit. We enjoyed the town and our family time there.

The staff at the front desk were great and very helpful. My son enjoyed the water park a lot. Having restaurants on site is also a big plus for an easy lunch/dinner. The room, however, has a bad layout if you’re bringing children with pack n plays. The 1 Bedroom Condo room has a one way in, one way out door so you either have to put the babies in the living room with full light or be very quiet when trying to get out the door. The room was also very dirty and could use an update. I would definitely recommend Bridges Bay to others, especially families, but not the 1 bedroom condo. Bigger is needed.

Liked: the room was nice and clean as expected when we arrived. The staff: was never seen in my building. Dislikes: We noticed piles of towels and garbage bags outside of each of the rooms so immediately came to understand there would probably be no housekeeping. We went to the building where you check in and had to get our own towels to replenish used ones. Amenities: the Bogi Splash water park pool was great but the outdoor pool was overcrowded and was kind of dirty looking in the pool. We thought we had free passes for our family and only got 2. We asked what the best deal would be for 5 of us on day 1 and they said it’s all the same for everyone over 4. On day 2 I noticed a sign outside of the door as you go in that anyone 55+ got in with a discount of approximately $10. When we went on day 2 and asked about this they agreed that would have been a better deal and when we asked about getting a partial refund for day 1 they gave a run around of having to talk to a supervisor, then their credit card machine was not working properly to issue credit, then they would have someone call us. Day 3 we checked out with no call back. Day 4 I called and talked to 2 more people and one of them remembered the prior conversation and said she would have her mgr call us back. Day 6….nobody has returned a call. Poor customer service regarding this matter.
