“This place is perfect in my opinion. Although it may be pricy, it is the experience of a lifetime. The waterpark is the best part! Great Slides for older children, and there is a kids corner & Sesame Street mascots there for the younger kids (Favorute being cookie monster). I keep coming back! (Would Recommend)”

We did the Love and Lux package and the final edited video was poor quality. When Beaches asked if we approved the video, we explained what was wrong. There hadn't been any color grading which made the video...”
