“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.
