Back in December, when a group of us went to Isla Ixtapa, we passed by a waterpark in Ixtapa. It looked like fun. Since then, we’ve talked about going. Today, we finally did.
Jazzy and I headed out first. We tendered ashore, got a taxi, rode from Zihautanejo to Ixtapa and walked into the waterpark. Then we were confused. There was no gate, no ticket booth, just a walkway leading into the park. We walked around and saw nobody. The wave pool was still but the slides had water running. We wondered if it was closed.
Eventually we found somebody and they told us that yes, it was open and we paid our ticket fee. We got ourselves a couple of beach chairs and laid out for a bit. It was hot! We had to keep going into the river pool to cool off.
After awhile, the guys showed up - Brad, Wesley and Colin, all techs on the ship. Then we really hit up the waterpark stuff.
There is this pirate ship like thing with a bunch of slides. They’re generally small, in that they’re short, but they’re big enough for adults to ride on. We
played there for awhile. We had some lunch and some beers while hanging out in the river pool.
Then the wave pool finally started up and we had some fun there. The only other customers who were there that day was a huge group of kids. There were about twenty of them and they all looked about thirteen. Why they were all at a waterpark and not in school baffled us. But they were there and they were nuts in the wavepool.
Just in time for our last half hour, the big slides were turned on. These slides were huge! It was a good hike up to the top of them where we had a pretty nice view of the Ixtapa resort area. But the ride down was plenty long so it was definitely worth the hike up.
Our day at the waterpark wasn’t quite what we expected, but it was still a really fun day.
Next cruise, I have more family coming! Can’t wait.

Looks like tons of fun! We tried to go to a waterpark today but it was closed, so ended up at a restaurant with a pool instead. sad. I'm jealous!
