Time to Have Your Picture taken with The Seaside Squad!

A phrase that finished off every dance routine and act The nuisating Seaside Squad performed.The kids did enjoy the entertainment when they were actually being entertained but there really was not anything for adults at all during the mimed dance routines and acts.I understand that this is kids entertainment but we have been to sites were the entertainment is compared from start to finish with the adults included and able to relax.As soon as they had yet another picture taken they were bored while they waited the next 30 minutes for the next frankly deafening routine
We found the drinks are very expensive and the service woefully slow.Top doller paid for flat coke with no ice and lemon.£7:35 for a pint of Stella and a Bud.Seaside
You could however puchase a plastic novelty kids drink cup for £4:99.
These expenses add up when you are drinking to blot out The Seadide Squad!
To be fair to the entertainers they tried to put on a good show dressed up in pretty grotesque outfits danceing around and miming to a backing track.
The site is clean and pleasant and the staff friendly and cheerful.
We did find the main areas overwhelminly busy.We did not really enjoy the sheer amount of people everywhere.We had never booked a site that is labelled as large and lively so that was our fault really.
Our luxury holiday accomadation (caravan) was clean and had a nice view.It was a 2014 model so this is really to be expected for £800.We had expected a toaster as well but reception kindly informed us we were not entitled to one!They did manage to arrange to have a sucsession of can openers delivered none of which worked.I think they thought we would give up and buy one from the Spar!
The reception staff were on the whole freindly and polite though
The overall impression we had from the Devon Cliffs experince was that Haven were out to rinse as much cash as possible out of you for as little outlay as they could get away with.I have never been on a site were the pool is only open from 9:45 till 12:45 then 14:00 till 17:45.Really?Is it eating into the vast profits so much to employ some more life guards and open the pool for longer.If i was cynical i would say it might be because the pool is free and therefore you are not spending money while you are in there!
To get anywhre in the complex you are funnlled through a massive arcade which can be a bit of a nightmare with a 6 and 7 year old constantly wanting to play the games
The Sports Bar did not have Sky.I know Sky is expensive and if you can get away with eurosport why not?
The Punters are only there to fleeced!
No need to lavish Sky on them!
I think Devon Cliffs is great for some people there would not be 2000 caravans there (and endless hard sell for you to buy one)if it was'nt.
It just was not for us in afraid
