Glacier Canyon by HelloVacay
Five-star resort with its own indoor waterpark on site
About this hotel
Glacier Canyon by HelloVacay sits 1.9 kilometres from Kalahari Indoor Water Park and 2.1 kilometres from Wilderness Resort, close enough that a stay here doubles as a base for the whole Lake Delton water park circuit. The on-site waterpark and spa and wellness centre mean toddlers can spend a morning in the hotel's own pool while older kids and teens head for Kalahari, and parents can slip into the spa once everyone's settled. A fitness room, hot tub, games room and children's playground round out a property built for a multi-generational group, and the electric vehicle charging station and concierge service close out a stay that reads as genuine resort service rather than a standard motel with a pool.
- Five-star Lake Delton resort
- On-site waterpark and spa
- Casino and concierge desk
Our take
This is the closest thing to full resort service near Noah's Ark: a genuine five-star property with its own waterpark, spa and concierge desk that can arrange neighbouring resort passes for you. It suits a milestone trip or a multi-generational group willing to pay for the service. Families on a fast two-night budget trip will find better value at a simpler Lake Delton motel closer to Noah's Ark itself.
- ✓Book well ahead for peak summer weekends; this is the only true five-star property on the list and it sells out fast.
- ✓Ask the concierge desk to arrange your Kalahari or Wilderness Resort day passes rather than booking them yourself.
- ✓Reserve a spa treatment for the evening after your busiest water park day, not the first night, while everyone's still full of energy.

Why guests love itA stay here reads as genuine resort service rather than a standard Dells motel: the spa and wellness centre gave grandparents somewhere to relax while the rest of the group went back out to the water parks, and the on-site waterpark meant the youngest kids never had to leave the building for their own splash time. The concierge desk arranging Kalahari passes in advance saved real time on the first morning. It's a five-star price for a five-star result, best suited to a longer trip rather than a quick weekend.
