Fodor's Expert Review Aquaventure

From near-vertical slides that plunge through shark tanks to a quarter-mile-long lazy river ride, this 141-acre water park allows you to both unwind and get your adrenaline pumping. Spend the day going from ride to ride, or relax under an umbrella on the white sand of three unique beaches, or one of 11 swimming pools. Three pools are designed especially for the youngest of guests, including Splashers, a Maya-themed water playground. Day passes for non-resort guests are limited so be sure to plan well ahead.
