Stayed June 3-7, 2013
Were at the pool three days. There is no all day shade, I got there and had shade but an hour later I was in the sun, even if you rent an umbrella you will have to move with the shade. :) The sun moves you won't find shade in the same place all day. You can rent a cabana, which we did near the slide pool for a discounted price of only $30 and it was nice. Came with tv, couch, table and chairs. Ceiling fan and mini fridge that came stocked with 6 small waters, 3 pepsis and 3 Sprite-type drink. And a bucket of ice.
Water is 3 1/2 feet deep, which is plenty to float on your back or "walk" on your knees. My 16 y/o was on the slide ALL DAY. People where coming and going throughout the day so finding a place to sit never seemed to be a problem. The largest mushroom shaped pool wasn't open.
As long as you leave your towel on your chair and stuff underneath you will keep your chair.
