Is $587 A Good Package Rate for the Nick Hotel?

I have the Ultimate Family Package below in a 2-bedroom suite for $587. Is this a good deal? This is what the package includes:

We are only staying for 2 nights, Friday, December 18th-Sunday, December 20th.

We are a family of 4, DH, myself, DS(6) and DD(17). They both LOVE Spongebob....I mean die-hard fans. Is the 2-bedroom large enough for us?

I was thinking about the 3 bedroom. What do you think?

We were looking for a quick getaway and this would be part of their Christmas present. Is this worth it?

The reviews on Tripadvisor seem horrible! But I'm going with low expectations. But DH said we had to keep the total trip cost under $1,000.

I personally did not think our 2 night stay in Nov of last year would have been worth $600. BUT, since it is just a weekend trip I can tell you that your kids will love it at those ages!

A couple cautionary things - We went mid-november and it got COLD at the end of our 2nd day...As in - the kids would go into the pool for a little while but everyone was shivering after not too long....Would you be way disappointed if the family was unable to enjoy the water park area the whole time? If so - going in Dec will be iffy....

We had a 2 bedroom and it was fine for our family of 4 - but if we had 5 people and needed to keep the pull out couch as a bed - it would have been WAY too tight. It was the smallest 2 bedroom I have ever seen, but it worked out OK.

We got a GREAT deal when we went ($99 per night (no weekends) with no resort fee) - but I doubt you can get that at holiday time. It was definitely worth it for us.

If you want to keep on budget - bring lots of food with you - you can bring a cooler right down to the pool area with you stocked with your drinks, lunch, snacks, etc.

using a AAA discount.. a 2br SB is $507 for those nights.. add the extras, and it will add up more than you've got now.
