Pontins Blackpool

We Arrived at Pontins Blackpool at we got welcomed to the holiday camp then we got our keys at went to our chalet and it was clean and tidy
The food that we got was great from kid’s foods, meaty foods and salads, the only bad thing was that you have to pay for cola but you got fresh fruit juice for free.
The kids facilities on site were so good you could have a splash around in the swimming pool or do Quad bike, dodge ball and loads more things.
At night the venues get busy but there are plenty of seats for every one. The blue coats are much better than havens fun stars, they make you happy and when there in entertainment venues they are so funny.
The stardust bar was the best at pontins because it had magic shows funny shows and much much more.
I would recommend pontins Blackpool to anyone who wants fun and fast holidays.

Fantastic, the kids loved it! Would definitely recommend.
The room was basic but we didn’t use the room much as so much to do. The entertainment was wacky and amazing better than the red coats I've experienced...
Plus the staff are very nice and understanding of anything we needed. All you need to do is ask and they try there best to do that.
I would defintely recommend over and over again. I have been going for over 10 years now and I wouldn't change the holidays.

I would not recommend anyone to holiday at Pontins. We, my partner and I and two young daughters stayed here May 06.
The rooms are very basic, filthy old beds, filthy carpets, curtains etc, the carpet was that bad every time my baby daughter dropped her dummy on the carpet, I put it in the kettle that was provided and boiled it.
The day after our arrival when we got back to the chalet it wasn’t long before we noticed ants running all over the place.
We certainly won't be going back. The only thing that was ok ish was the entertainment by night, nothing to do during the day apart from hire bikes, swim.
The food was ok, nothing special.

We arrived at the park and were immediately sent to collect our keys.
The staff are very persuasive at trying to get you to upgrade to a higher level but we stood our ground and said no, as it was pricey.
The caravan was lovely. Three big bedrooms with quilts and pillows (don't pay the charge for covers, just take your own).
The only thing that wasn't great, was that there was no concrete outside the caravan, so you have to park either a ten min walk away to the main car park or leave your car in deep mud.
The caravan had a TV and an oven and a toilet which was handy! Definitely recommend the place.

This been our 10th consecutive time at the site we were as pleased as ever.
We have been visiting Blackpool Pontins since it first opened and we tried other pontins sites between 1990 and 96, however, due to its close location decided to return 'home'.
We always stay in Club apartments and were pleased as usual however, over the moon as we were given a choice of our location due to our loyalty. We now are on first hand terms with the staff as they love working there and never seem to change year after year.
On arrival to our chalet we didn’t expect to find that they had been modernised since last year. This is the 5th time in the 10 consecutive years.
Immediately the kids were off taking part in the Bluecoats antics in the main square while were let to get sorted.
The food improves a great deal each year and we, once again could not depict any faults. Friendly service is always evident any you always get a smile and a chat.
Over the 7 days which we were there, there was a different choice of meals each day (however, I would have liked for some of them to repeat)
Entertainment, well what can I say ... CLASS (in kids terms). Each evening is bursting with fun ready to burst into the Prince Theatre.
Overall, and as usual we were over the moon with our holiday and have already booked for the summer, October holiday, next February and next May.
WE CAN'T WAIT!

Having been to Pontins 4 times in 2 years.
I wonder if we were just lucky as we've never had a dirty room, the beds have always been clean and have had fresh towels each morning.
The Chalets are quite basic but Oct we got a 2 bed roomed chalet, comfy bunk beds in one room (my daughters loved that) and the main area a comfy double bed, in the past we've had the fold out camp beds and they are very uncomfortable.
The chalet though we mainly used just for sleeping in as we were busy through the day.
Food in the restaurant is quite basic but decent enough. Staff were helpful enough and great with my 2 girl 6 and 9. Entertainment on the night time was good as well.
Not a great deal to do onsite though but a tram ride and you are in Blackpool.
Anyway we are booking up again in May so they are doing something right.

Just arrived home after one fantastic Christmas. Room was a bit basic but it was only used for sleeping in as there was so much to do during the day n the night.
Food good and plenty of choice. Bluecoats even managed to get up early on Christmas morning to welcome everyone into breakfast.
There was plenty of evening entertainment and all the bluecoats are amazing and gave up there Christmases to entertain us. Well done to Frenchie, Sarah, Baby Ben, Johnny, Sandi, Adam and all the others!

We have just returned from a very enjoyable 5 days at Blackpool.
After reading the reviews before we went we were absolutely terrified! But luckily we did not agree with them.
The rooms (Club) were very clean on arrival, beds made, plenty of clean towels that were changed during our stay, digital TV, tea making facilities etc etc.
The food was excellent with plenty of choice - each evening there were 7 different meals ranging from fresh Omelettes to order, cold meats and salad, vegetarian dish, children’s meal and 3 main meal choices. Breakfast was equally as good with cereals, full English and toast etc. - also a healthy option of yoghurts etc. One writer said there was no fresh fruit but when asked the chef provided us with a choice of bananas, apples and oranges.
The evening entertainment was very good with the choice of 3 venues. We always got a seat and enjoyed the quizzes in stardust.
The only downfall was the weather, wet and very windy - but that was not Pontins fault.
The location is on a good bus route into Blackpool that stops right outside (although the open top was a bit cold in October) and the trams stops a few yards down the road.
I would highly recommend it for a traditional British seaside holiday.

If it had been possible to rate this "Resort" at 0/10 I would have done so. Old holiday camp clichés such as "Stalag 14" apply quite literally here.
On arrival we were told to park and, since we had arrived a little early, were told that we could make use on the facilities. Walking around the camp we wondered what facilities they were talking about! The indoor pool looked OK although it had nothing special to recommend it, i.e. no slides for children etc.
The Victoria Pub was a large, soulless area attached to an amusement arcade.
The camp layout was reminiscent of a prisoner of war camp, a concrete jungle lined with 1950`s style barracks.
When we got the key to our "chalet" we were appalled at the state of the place. The room was dirty, smelt musty and the view was grim to say the least. By this stage my wife was nearly in tears.
We decided that we could not stay here and went to inform reception. We were seen by the duty manager who was very apologetic and very understanding, He gave us a full refund.
Although the staff were pleasant and helpful I could not recommend this resort to anyone.

My family and I had a very good time. The chalet is basic but clean, the food in the canteen was excellent you have great choices which my kids loved. Entertainment was great, go to the princes theatre first if you have children then stardust its brill!
Blue coats where ok some could be a bit nicer. I have been there before and didn’t realise that there’s so much to do day and night and you wouldn’t have to leave at all. My family and I will be back next year as my husband and I where able to relax and have fun as well.
p.s you don’t need to bring towels with you, you can hire then out for a very small amount and deposit which you get back.
