Where-To-Go Wednesday - Coco Key Water Resort Mt. Laurel

We were given tickets to Coco Key Water Resort Mt. Laurel for free for review purposes. Any and all opinions expressed here are our own based on our experience.

What: Coco Key Water Resort Mt. Laurel

Where: Hotel ML

             915 Route 73

             Mt. Laurel, NJ

Who: All ages

Our view: Coco Key Water Resort Mt. Laurel is a clean well kept water park with fun activities for everyone.  You would think that since the entire park is located within the Hotel ML, it would be rather small and overcrowded. However, that is not the case at all. The park is large and spacious and contains numerous attractions for all ages. Some of the attractions include a number of different water slides, a wading pool for the little ones, and an indoor/outdoor spa for adults. For more specific information about some of the activities and attractions available at Coco Key Mt. Laurel see tomorrow's Talking Topics post. The staff at Coco Key Mt. Laurel is very helpful, and there always seems to be a staff member there when you need one. The large staff includes plenty of lifeguards. There always seems to be numerous lifeguards at all of the water attractions making guests feel safe. Towels are available for guests use, and you don't have to remember to bring your  own. It is also nice that not every single inch of the resort is completely soaked and it is possible to find a dry area if you want to or need to.  Since the resort is located in the Hotel ML it is possible to get overnight packages which include a stay in the hotel. However, if you prefer day passes just for the water park you can still get those too. All in all, it is one of the nicest water parks and hotels we have been to and we would highly recommend them both.

And that's our view. Tune in to tomorrow's Talking Topics post for more about Coco Key Water Resort.

Tips for Tuesday - Misc. - Hotel ML

We were given free night's stay at the Hotel ML for review purposes. Any and all opinions expressed are our own.

The Hotel ML, 915 Route 73, Mt. Laurel, NJ

Me - Today I am recommending Hotel ML in Mt. Laurel, NJ. It is a really nice hotel. The rooms are very pretty. The beds are comfortable. The pillows are good. The staff is so nice. It's really convenient that there is a water park right in the hotel. It is a really fun water park. They also have a regular pool. It is fun, and it is a pretty nice size. The only thing is it doesn't have a lifeguard so you've got to real know how to swim or keep a really close eye on any small children or anyone who doesn't know how to swim. Overall, the Hotel ML is a great place to stay.

Mom - Today I am also recommending the Hotel ML.The hotel is conveniently located and easy to get to just off Exit 4 on the New Jersey Turnpike. It is very clean and comfortable with decent sized rooms. The rooms come with plenty of towels, unlike in most hotels I have previously stayed in. The staff is courteous and goes out of their way to be helpful. Whenever you even pass a staff member in the hall, they always stop to ask if you need anything. There is a nice sized well kept pool. The hotel also has its own indoor water park, Coco Key Water Resort. The water resort is also very clean and well kept and has plenty of staff on hand to help out if you need it including plenty of lifeguards throughout the park. Maybe, that is why there are no lifeguards at the pool because they are all at the water resort. For more about Coco Key see tomorrow's Where-To-Go Wednesday and Thursday's Taking Topics post. There are also two restaurants and plenty of space for events of any size from business meetings to weddings at the hotel. All in all, whether you are want to work or play, the Hotel ML is a great play to stay.

6)Baseball Player: David Cone - Not only a talented Perfect game winning, Cy Young winning baseball player but an upstanding guy who treats everyone fellow athletes, reporters, and fans alike with respect. Young players can learn from him not just how to play baseball but how to conduct themselves in life.

8) Swimmer: Michael Phelps- 18 Olympic gold medals including 8 in one Olympics, enough said.

9) Figure Skaters: Michelle Kwan and Brian Boitano - Two skaters that have such an ease and beauty about their skating that they make it look effortless.

10) Pairs Figure Skaters: Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov - The perfect pair on ice. I am glad that she was able to find happiness with someone else after his untimely death but my heart will always break a little bit to see her without him
