All-inclusive Cliffs Hotel on Blackpool's Queen's Promenade, with supervised kids' club and live cabaret every evening

Children & Family
The on-site Rocky Gardens kids club offers a supervised programme of activities for children aged 4 to 14. The club includes arcade games, pool and table tennis, an Xbox Kinect console, and a soft play area. The hotel also has an indoor play area, a kid-friendly buffet, and kids' meals at the restaurant.
Dining & Bars
The Garden Room restaurant serves a full English breakfast buffet and a three-course dinner with a children's menu. The Promenade Café bar offers panoramic sea views, hot and cold food, and premium drink selections including quality wines. The sports bar provides additional options for snacks and drinks.
Entertainment
Live cabaret entertainment is performed every evening, featuring a singer and a compere. The entertainment schedule also includes bingo and occasional comedians. The hotel has a games room and a table tennis table for guest use during the day.
Location & Transport
The hotel is located on Queen's Promenade on Blackpool's North Shore, with direct views over the Irish Sea. Trams and buses stop outside the hotel entrance, and Blackpool Pleasure Beach is a 10-minute drive away. Public transport tickets and travel cards can be purchased from the reception desk.
Highlights
Leisure: Indoor pool, hot tub, sauna, and two gyms
Children: Rocky Gardens kids club for ages 4-14
Dining: Garden Room restaurant with buffet breakfast and 3-course dinner
Entertainment: Live cabaret with singer and compere each evening
Extras: All-inclusive festive breaks with breakfast, lunch, and dinner
“This beachfront hotel strikes me as a solid choice for families, especially with its extensive entertainment program and kids club. The all-inclusive festive breaks seem particularly appealing, and the multiple dining options add a nice touch of variety, though I'd keep an eye on potential room quirks. With leisure facilities like the pool and gym, plus its proximity to Blackpool's attractions, it's easy to see why families book here.”

Surprised Stay
good price clean hotel convenient parking
The breakfast presented good choices. The hotel was really clean and the price was good. I found convenient parking on site. The arcade downstairs featured an Xbox and a PlayStation.
I thought one of the lifts wasn't working, which caused some delays.

The hotel is north of the town centre so it is quite. Tram and bus stops located right outside made travel around the resort easy. The location offers a good balance.
