We upgraded to a Classic apartment after I had read reviews, I would hate to think what the Budget apartment was like!
Reception area very uninviting and dirty, wanted to go home the moment I arrived but the kids were looking forward to it and I... read more

I wrote a holiday review for Pontins in July this year and I gave it 10 out of 10.
I have only given it an 8 this time due to the fact that my husband got food poisoning.

Arrived at the site at about 1.30pm on the friday. Couldn't... read more

We also considered cancelling after visiting these reviews the night before! Booked 4 nights as a quick last minute cheap break to keep the children (aged 5 & 6) busy over the half term. Arrived at Pontins in the rain and was greeted at the gate... read more

After reading various bad reports about Pontins at southport I was very dubious about what we would get. We went on a 'Sun' holiday and upgraded to Club. If I paid £300 the full price I would have been very disappointed. Our 'luxury' appartment was... read more

I have been on Sun Holidays many times, and have been quite satisfied with everything about them, so I had no qualms about booking a break at Pontins Southport. However, after I read bad reviews on this and other sites, I was reassured by Pontins that... read more

Just returned from a week end break at Pontins Southport. Never, Never again.

The chalets dated back to the sixties/seventies. The room smelt of stale fags and the carpet had so many stains on it, that it was hard to detect the original... read more
