Unbelievable Family Fun: Magic Moment Resort & Kids Club US!
Unbelievable Family Fun: Magic Moment Resort & Kids Club US! - A Review That's Honestly Messy (But Hopefully Helpful)
Okay, folks, buckle up. This isn't your sanitized, perfectly polished hotel review. This is the real deal, fresh off the press from… well, my press, a brain crammed with memories, notes, and a lingering scent of chlorine and sunscreen (seriously, how do you get rid of that?). We're talking about Unbelievable Family Fun: Magic Moment Resort & Kids Club US! and, let me tell you, the name sets the bar HIGH. Let's see if they clear it, shall we?
First Impressions & Accessibility: The Good, the "Almost," and the Slightly Clunky
Right off the bat, the accessibility felt… mostly there. There were elevators (a HUGE win!), and ramps seemed to be in place for most areas. Accessibility is a big deal for us, and while they're trying, there were a few spots where things felt a little clunky. I’m thinking specifically of navigating around the pool area with a wheelchair. It felt a bit like a game of human Tetris.
Wheelchair Access: (Almost) Smooth Sailing – The rooms were generally spacious, and the bathrooms, for the most part, seemed to have considered accessibility. I think I saw some accessible rooms, which is a huge plus!
Now, for the "almost" part. Some of the paths, especially around the outdoor areas, had some uneven surfaces. Not terrible, but something to be mindful of. I'd recommend calling ahead to confirm specific room accessibility details and to get the most up-to-date information on the resort's accessibility. Don't be shy – know your needs!
Food, Glorious Food (and Drinks!): A Buffet Bonanza and Beyond!
Oh boy, the food. Get ready. They've got a lot going on here.
- Restaurants: They actually have restaurants! And the À la carte in restaurant option is a nice touch for a more intimate dining experience. The Asian cuisine in restaurant was a strong showing, a welcome break from burger-and-fries monotony.
- Buffet Bonanza: The Breakfast [buffet] was… an experience. Let’s put it that way. The sheer volume of food was staggering. You can't complain about choice. From pancakes to dim sum, everything. The downsides? Sometimes the buffet felt a bit overwhelming, a bit like a feeding frenzy. The Western breakfast was on point, which is always a comfort. The Buffet in restaurant covers everything.
- Other Delights: The Poolside bar was a lifesaver. That moment when you've been baking in the sun and desperately need a frozen cocktail… perfection. And the Happy hour? Well, let's just say it lived up to its name! A good Bar is a necessity when, let’s be honest, you’re traveling with kids.
- For Quick Bites: The Snack bar saved us more than once when hunger pangs struck between activities.
- Special Dietary Needs: Now, the Alternative meal arrangement situation was a bit hit-or-miss. They TRIED, bless their hearts. Call ahead and make sure they are aware of your dietary requirements.
The Rooms: Clean, Comfy, and… Well, Where’s My Umbrella?
Our room, thank goodness, was comfortable. I'd pick a bigger room for longer stays.
- Cleanliness and Safety: The Rooms sanitized between stays and the Hot water linen and laundry washing were reassuring. Seeing them clean stuff felt good, that’s for sure. You can tell they're trying hard.
- Amenities Galore: The Additional toilet was a game-changer with kids. The Coffee/tea maker was a lifesaver. Free bottled water? Yes, please! I did like the Air conditioning to cool down.
- Minor Quibbles (Because We're Human): My only minor complaint? The blackout curtains… they were good but could have been better. Also, where was the Umbrella?
Things to Do: From Splashing to Spa-ing (Maybe)
Okay, this is where the "Unbelievable Family Fun" part really kicks in.
- The Pool Scene: The Swimming pool [outdoor] was a constant hub of activity. The kids spent hours splashing around. The Pool with view really made it feel special.
- For the Little Ones: This is where this place really shines. The Kids facilities are LEGIT.
- Relaxation Attempted: I attempted some Sauna, but, well, let’s just say the kids got the memo. I'm always game for the Spa,Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Massage - but it's tough when you're outnumbered.
- Fitness Center: I did not go, let’s be honest. Too much fun to be had elsewhere.
The Kids Club: A Lifesaver (and Maybe a Naptime Savior)
The Kids Club. This deserves its own paragraph. It's a lifesaver. Seriously. It gave us parents a chance to breathe, relax, and actually enjoy a meal without the tiny humans dismantling the table. The staff were amazing, and the activities were well-thought-out.
Cleanliness and Safety: They're Trying!
I noticed the Hand sanitizer stations everywhere. The Daily disinfection in common areas was noticeable. I think they're handling safety as well as they can.
Internet: Because We Still Need To Function in the Real World
The Internet access was… okay. More reliable in the rooms. The Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! is a huge plus. The Internet access – wireless in the lobby was spotty, but hey, you can’t have it all.
Here Comes the Messy Bit: One Experience, Amplified
Okay, so here's a highlight… or maybe a lowlight? One afternoon, we got caught in a torrential downpour. Now, normally, this wouldn't be a big deal. However, we were stuck in the hotel’s lobby, which, despite its elegant appearance, became a small-scale Niagara Falls due to a leaking roof. So, there we were, trapped with all the other guests, watching as buckets were strategically placed to catch the rain. It was a moment of pure, unadulterated chaos. The staff, bless their hearts, were running around with towels, trying to mop up the mess. It was, frankly, hilarious. It was memorable. It felt very real.
The Verdict: Is it Truly "Unbelievable?"
Look, no place is perfect. This isn't a faultless, five-star experience. But is it…unbelievable? In its own messy, sometimes chaotic way, yes. It's a place where you can make genuine memories, where the kids will have the time of their lives, and where, despite the occasional hiccup, you can actually relax (eventually!).

Hamanako Lake: Japan's Hidden Paradise Awaits! (You Won't Believe This!)Okay, buckle up buttercups, because planning a trip to Magic Moment Resort & Kids Club… well, it's an experience. And this itinerary? Let's just say it's less "meticulously crafted masterpiece" and more "scribbled on a napkin while juggling a screaming toddler and a lukewarm coffee." Here we go…
Day 1: Arrival & Immediate Chaos (aka: the "Where Did All the Snacks Go?" Phase)
8:00 AM: Wake up. (Okay, technically, the toddler woke me up. And the dog. And probably the neighbors’ cat, judging by the racket.) Drag myself out of bed. Attempt a shower. Fail. Just a quick spritz of dry shampoo and a prayer.
8:30 AM: Pack the car. This involves a Tetris-esque feat of engineering to cram everything – the stroller, the car seat, the emotional baggage (kidding! Mostly.) – into our already cramped minivan. Found one lost sock (no matching one, of course).
9:00 AM: Snacks. Snacks. Snacks. Pack all the snacks. Pretzels, goldfish, fruit snacks, applesauce pouches (the only chance of maintaining sanity in the car). Realized I forgot the wet wipes. Panic sets in.
10:00 AM: Depart for Magic Moment Resort & Kids Club! The first 30 minutes are blissful. Then, the car's a jungle. Screaming children, bickering, and snacks everywhere. My co-pilot (aka my spouse) is already regretting this trip. I’m starting to too.
1:00 PM: ARRIVE! Oh. My. God. The lobby is bright. In a good way. The kids are immediately captivated by the giant, brightly colored… whatever-they-are-supposed-to-be (statues? Art installations? Who cares, they're distracting). Check-in is a blur of paperwork and frantic negotiations with the kids, who are suddenly starving and need to pee simultaneously. Misery.
2:00 PM: Finally, the room! It's… fine. Cleanish. There's a weird stain on the carpet that I choose to ignore. The view is… of the parking lot. Well, at least it's a clean parking lot (more or less).
2:30 PM: Unpack (as much as is possible when two small human tornadoes are rampaging). Where's the sunscreen? The hats? The… Oh, crap, I left the diapers in the car.
3:00 PM: Head to the pool! I'm dreaming of cocktails. The kids are dreaming of… well, everything. The pool is crowded. But the water's warm. Small victory! I attempt to relax, sipping a… uh… fruit punch. Okay, it's a start.
5:00 PM: Dinner. The buffet is a glorious, chaotic mess. The kids are in heaven. I’m trying to find something that isn't fried. Success: found a sad, withered carrot stick.
6:30 PM: Attempt to put the kids to bed. This is a comedic routine, involving multiple trips to the bathroom, demands for water, and existential questions about the meaning of life.
8:00 PM: Finally, silence. Or mostly silence. One kid is still awake, whispering about a "monster under the bed". I ignore it.
8:30 PM: Collapse. Pour a glass of wine. Decide to ignore the stain on the carpet and the fact that I haven't showered. Survived Day 1. Progress.
Day 2: The Thrills and the Spill (and the Meltdown)
- 7:00 AM: Wake up. (Actually, the kids woke me up. Again.) Stumble to the coffee maker. Coffee is essential to the process.
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast. More buffet chaos. I see a kid who looks like he's bathed in chocolate. I choose to ignore it.
- 9:00 AM: Kids Club time! Bye, bye kiddos! I drop them off with the promise of adventure and escape. Briefly consider running away and joining the circus.
- 9:30 AM - 12:00 PM: The Spa! Thank god. A massage. A facial. I'm in heaven, and I'm almost asleep. Oh, the quiet!
- 12:30 PM: The pool again. The kids are out of Kids Club and have decided that the pool is the source of all fun.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch. Repeat of the Day 1 buffet experience. More carrot sticks.
- 2:00 PM: The real fun begins. The water slides! The kids LOVE them. Especially the tiny one who is so afraid of heights. So, after the tantrums, fear and tears, they love them.
- 3:30 PM: Toddler meltdown. "I don't want to wear shoes!" The other one joins in. Suddenly, they're both crying. I lose it a little. Find the emergency lollipop stash. Problem solved (for now).
- 4:00 PM: Ice cream. I can't believe how much ice cream these small people can eat.
- 5:00 PM: Dinner. The kids finally eat a full small plate, so I'm winning.
- 7:00 PM: Karaoke! It's a real show! Even if the singing is less than stellar. More lollipops. More fun.
- 8:00 PM: Bedtime. Same. Routine. As last night. The "monster under the bed" is still there, I think. Wine.
Day 3: Disney?! (aka: The Park Experience)
- 6:00 AM: Early start. Why? Because Disney, that's why!
- 7:00 AM: Breakfast (on the go).
- 8:00 AM: Arrive at the park. Lines everywhere. The faces of the kids are in awe! It's Magical, that's true!
- 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Rides, meet-and-greets, and general Disney magic.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch
- 1:00 PM: More rides and meeting characters.
- 3:00 PM: Parade or show.
- 4:00 PM: Treat time and shopping
- 5:00 PM: Head Back
- 6:00 PM: Dinner. The kids are exhausted. Collapse.
- 7:00 PM: Bedtime.
Day 4: The Calm Before the Storm (aka: The Shopping Spree and the Packing Panic)
- 8:00 AM: Sleep in! (Okay, not really. But it's later than yesterday!) Coffee.
- 9:00 AM: Last breakfast at the buffet. I'm starting to get to know the regulars.
- 10:00 AM: Shopping. Souvenirs. Mostly for the grandparents, and for the children.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch.
- 1:00 PM: Pool time!
- 2:00 PM: Pack? (Oh, god.) Where did all the stuff come from? The suitcases are overflowing. One kid is wearing a pirate hat. The other is covered in stickers. I am exhausted.
- 4:00 PM: Final ice cream.
- 5:00 PM: Dinner.
- 6:00 PM: Last Bedtime.
Day 5: Departure (aka: The Goodbye and the Long Drive Home)
- 7:00 AM: Wake up, slowly.
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast
- 9:00 AM: Check out.
- 10:00 AM: Long drive home. The kids are (relatively) quiet for the first hour. Then, the chaos begins again.
- 1:00 PM: Rest Stop. Bathroom breaks. Gas. Snacks. (More snacks.)
- 5:00 PM: Arrive home. Unpack the car (again!). The house looks like a tornado hit it.
- 6:00 PM: Collapse on the couch. (Finally!) The kids are happy to be home. I'm glad to be home.
- 7:00 PM: Order pizza. It's been a journey.
This, my friends, is the Magic Moment Resort experience in all its messy, imperfect, and (let's be honest) slightly insane glory. Would I do it again? Probably. Ask me in a week.
