Since there were so few people there it did not take long to do everything, I think when I did the wave pool there was only 1 other person in it with me. All the employees were very friendly and seemed to enjoy working there. The lazy river was nice until a few drunk guys showed up being obnoxious for a while.

The park’s water slides, surfing area, pools, lazy river tube rides were all open, and so many lifeguards were strategically placed to ensure safety of the water park users. ![]() It is a short walking distance away from the casino section near SLS Hotel. The newly opened “Baha Bay” water park was, spacious, impressive and attractive. Opening of “Baha Bay” water park along with reopening of many shops & eateries in the resort seemed to have played important roles in revitalizing Baha Mar resort. But when we returned to Baha Mar resort four month later in late July 2021, Baha Mar had transformed into a lively and vibrant resort with so many guests, including families with children. ![]() ![]() A number of shops as well as eateries remained closed, and this water park was still under construction then, making the resort’s atmosphere somewhat subdued. There are hundreds of opportunities to get involved and enjoy the benefits of a city focused on enriching the life experiences of its residents.In mid-March, 2021, we had stayed for a week in Baha Mar resort which was reopened after a year long Covid19 lockdown.
