We love traveling and checking out new places, and we were very excited to hear about the opening of the Kartrite Resort and waterpark this spring 2019. We decided to check out the resort on a day that the kids had off from school, as a birthday surprise for my daughter.
The Kartrite Resort is located in the Catskills, in Monticello. It was an easy drive from Albany, NY at just over 2 hours, and easy to find.
There is plenty of parking, and we had no problem checking in.Â
We were all given wristbands that act as key cards and your entry to the waterpark.
Our room was on the 6th floor, with a great view of the waterpark. We soon discovered the outdoor pool is huge hot tub!
The room was very nice, from the design to the layout.
Our room had a mini refrigerator, microwave and a Keurig coffee maker, which are great amenities to have when you travel.
The hotel has a lot of eco-friendly initiatives, so no disposable toiletries, a recyclables bin in the room, and much more. When we travel, I usually end up bringing things like plastic bottles home to recycle because I hate to throw them away, and this is the first hotel I have been that has recycling.
After checking in, we got ready to head to the waterpark. The front desk gave us a brochure that outlined the hours of everything, including the waterpark and restaurants.
We were excited to see that there is a Flow Rider in the waterpark. The lifeguards were very helpful in offering tips and suggestions.
The kids enjoyed the Empire Bay lazy river. The water temperature at the park is 84 degrees, which is nice and warm and no worries about the kids getting cold.
There are lots of different rides and activities to choose from, and for all ages, from toddlers to older kids.
There were several rides, and the favorite seemed to be one that has what looks like a drain in the middle.
The resort provides clean towels, and there are plenty of places to drop them off around the resort as well. There are nice changing rooms and showers, and lockers available for rent as well. Food is available for purchase in the food court in the waterpark, and I thought the prices were more reasonable compared to other waterparks we have been to.
There is plenty to do around the resort, both inside and out.
There are numerous places to eat in the resort, and there is also shopping and restaurants nearby.
Outside, there is a playground, games, fire pits, seating areas, and more. Plus, there are trails to go on.
There are arcade areas, including foosball, pool tables, and air hockey.
There is also an adventure course.
It looked like there are movies in the lobby most nights.
There are also games set up and comfortable seating.
We had a very enjoyable time at the Kartrite resort, and we look forward to returning!
What a fun place for a getaway. I have never been to that area, but I would love to check it out one of these days.

My kids would love to hang out at this resort. We have one similar to the kartrite resort but my youngest hasn’t had the opportunity to go to it yet. I’ll have to take him one of these days.
What a great place to vacation! I know my kids would love it here. They’d be all about the adventure course.
Thank you for posting this! I’ve been wondering about this water park since it opened! It sounds wonderful and probably cheaper than other area indoor waterparks! We will definitely be checking it out now!

How cool! I love that it’s indoors so you can go any time of the year!!
That looks like an amazing resort. I know my family would really love it there. The waterpark area is what my kids would enjoy the most.
Indoor waterparks are the best right? We love booking resorts with them because I know the kids will end up there a lot.
My kids really enjoy indoor waterpark! This place sounds wonderful, clean and fun! I have to visit someday!
I’ll have to add this water park to my list of places to take my kiddos as they get older.
The rooms look nice and clean. It also looks like a fun place for familes to enjoy fun times together.
Looks like great place to spend vacation. I haven’t visited this resort. Next time when I plan trip sure I will check into this.
A fun place to escape to when you’re a little stressed and need a break with the whole family! I think the kids will have so much fun and the parents will definitely have a chance to relax as well.
Looks like a really nice escape with family after an exhausting week at work!
This looks like a great place for a getaway. I’ve never been there, I definitely need to check it out!
Wow looks like a really fun place for families too! How fun for everyone!

I will have to make sure we get to visit the Kartrite Resort the next time we visit NY. My grandchildren will have such a fun time in the waterpark. I love that there are so many activities you can enjoy at this resort. Perfect for a family getaway!

This is a lovely and exciting resort. That waterpark alone will be a huge hit for many kids, especially during the summer season. Do they also operate even during the winter season? That will be amazing!
