What to do at the resort: pools, Jolly Mon Water Park and lake activities
Spend pool days between five outdoor pools and the 18+ infinity pool with a swim-up bar, let kids play at the Jolly Mon Water Park (lazy river, slides, splash pad; no lifeguard on duty), and use the resort’s private sandy beach and on-site watersports for lake time. Rent kayaks or paddleboards, take a BYOB Tiki Cruise or book local boat rentals for longer Lake Conroe excursions.

Jolly Mon Water Park: features and safety

There is no lifeguard on duty at the water park — guests swim at their own risk. Riders must be at least 48 inches tall for the waterslides, and anyone under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
- Lazy river (Lay-Z River) — has a posted maximum occupancy (site lists capacity for safety)
- Waterslides — minimum rider height 48 inches
- Splash pad and children’s play structure — good for younger kids
- Hot tubs — not recommended for pregnant women or children under five; children must be supervised
| Feature | Important note |

| Lazy river | Maximum occupancy listed; children require adult supervision |
| Waterslides | 48-inch minimum height for riders |
| No lifeguard | Swim at your own risk; children under 12 must have an adult |
Kids and family planning at the pools and park
The property is family-friendly with activities for children including the water park, children’s pool, splash zones, mini-golf (Parrot Island) and an arcade. Supervised kids’ activities are offered at times; check with the front desk or concierge for current schedules.
Because the water park has no lifeguard, plan adult supervision for children at all times and follow posted rules for slide heights and hot-tub use.
- Bring flotation devices or request them from the front desk if available; life jackets may be required for some lake activities
- Check the front desk for supervised kids’ program schedules and any seasonal changes
- Consider early or late pool times (quieter) if you need lower crowds

| Under 5 | Shallow children’s pool, splash pad (constant adult supervision required) |
| 6–11 | Splash zone, family pools, supervised activities, mini-golf |
| 12+ | Waterslides (if 48"+), lazy river, family pools |
