Friendly helpful staff, entertainment was fun, food was excellent and a great choice. Arcade was fun, drink was good price wise you buy a glass £1.99 and every refill is 99p. Kids cups £1.65 to buy and 65p to refill. Did not drink alcohol so not sure what the prices were like there. Rooms are warm and comfortable. Overall very happy booked to go back in 7 weeks time and over the new year.
Room had a little moist smell but was not to bad. I have no other bad points.
I was really worried about going to Pontins blackpool after some of the reviews that I had seen. I loved it there it was great, we have booked to go back in 7 weeks time in September and over the new year. We got there to early but we used the facilities and the staff was absolutely lovely and friendly. I went to get my room at 3.30 and even though there was a massive queue they opened it early and got through it surprisingly fast. I was only waiting 5 to 10 mins max and I had my key to my room, my room was basic but was a lot better than I imagined, it did have a moist smell but it was not too bad. The rooms were very warm and very comfortable even though there was 3 adults and a baby the room was bigger enough for us all. The entertainment was excellent not outstanding but it kept us entertained and it was fun, my little one had a ball! My eldest said he really enjoyed it to especially the arcade and cannot wait to go back. The food is outstanding and you get a great choice and its very enjoyable. We did have a problem in our room and the staff was lovely about it and it was sorted within 30 mins. The bathroom door had a lock on it but it did not lock, but it did shut and it really did not bother us at all. We did hear aeroplanes during the day not as many as I thought I would hear, it was not annoying. And I didn't hear them on an evening. For the price that it is, its a great place to go, its not far from all the sites and there is a bus that you can get to take you there. I believe you can buy day ticket, we drove every day so did not use the buses, parking was £7.00 for 24 hours and that was in the water park, car park around £3.50 for 4 hours. We did walk on the first day and its a 25 min walk to the pleasure beach, if you expect 5 star accommodation for pontins prices then your not going to get it there. You do get great friendly staff, a comfortable and very warm room and outstanding choice of food, with entertainment that is entertaining and fun. Every year we have gone to Disney resort Paris and we enjoyed Pontins Blackpool better. When you first turn up its not exactly breath taking but you should give it a chance, it is a great place and we had lots of fun!
