Splash Harbor Review ~ Bellville, Ohio
Recently my family was able to stay overnight at Splash Harbor in Bellville, Ohio and boy did we have a blast!
This well maintained Comfort Inn has a super fun pool area that is filled with a large pool, dumping buckets, shooting geysers, water basketball hoops, a floating raft and kiddie pool area. For those of you seeking a bit of a thrill you can also take a ride down their 49-foot looping water slide. Don’t be shy, give it a try…it’s not just for kids!
If you’re looking for a bit of relaxation you’ll want to check out their HUGE hot tub. It was quite warm and oh so inviting. While I find that many hotel hot tubs are barely warm, Splash Harbor’s adult hot tub is perfect temperature…HOT! For those of you with little ones they have a second hot tub for families. The water temperature in this smaller version is perfect for the little ones.
Another area that we spent a lot of our time in was the kiddie pool. This area is sloped just right for the littlest ones and the perfect depth. I brought a few toys so my youngest happily played here while my older ones were able to enjoy the other areas. At the end of this area there is a large staircase (see below) leading into the deeper water. This made it a great spot for me to sit so I could keep my eyes (and hands, if necessary) on all three of my boys even though they were in two different parts of the pool.
Your kids will also have a ball in the splash pad area complete with dumping buckets and shooting geysers. Since all of my boys are obsessed with pirates they got a kick out of the partial pirate ship that is located here. It was nice to let the kids have a place to play when mama needed take a break. Since there is no standing water here, I knew they were safe without me being right next to them.
For those of you with older kids, they will definitely want to try their hand at water basketball. This part of the pool was one of the busiest with everyone, young and old, playing a little b-ball. There were more than enough balls to go around though, so the boys and I were even able to shoot a few baskets.
Before we settled in for the night we headed over to the Der Dutchman for dinner. This restaurant is located conveniently right next door to Splash Harbor so we were able to walk over, even on a cold night. I loved that we didn’t have to get in our car. If you want to stay in for dinner, Marco’s Pizza is nearby and they’ll deliver straight to your room.
Our room was a nice size with 2 queen sized beds, desk and large TV. For those of you with larger families who will need two rooms, you may want to request on of their adjoining rooms. This is the type we had and it gave us more than enough space.
The rooms were very clean and the beds extremely comfortable. I loved that each bed had many pillows. The pillows weren’t the usual motel pillows either, instead they were fluffy with just the right amount of support.
The bathroom was stocked with complimentary toiletries such as shampoo, lotion, soap and makeup remover wipes. Best of all, if you forget a standard item such a a toothbrush, no problem, they’ll give you one for FREE!
The next morning we were able to fill up with a FREE hot breakfast. There were many choices including make-your-own waffles, cereal, sausage gravy, fresh fruit and much more. They even had a nice sitting area with a TV that kept my boys entertained while we were eating.
After another day of swimming, I let the kids play a bit in game area. They were happy to pick one game each and were ecstatic to each win a bouncy ball. It’s the small things in life isn’t it?
