Holiday from hell
6 years 6 months ago
Nothing as expected of a £250 holiday for 3 nights, dirty rooms, baths, sink, no plates, no linen, even though we paid. Bathroom heater didn't work, sockets half off, the walls smoke alarms kept going off, no sofa beds, heaters worked but produced no heat at all. There was only 1 ring on the cooker that worked, steps to upper chalet was unsafe and wobbly rail guard on top u could physically push out only a matter of time before a death spillage in halls and corridors don't get done even though report them staff have attitudes and never even seen any blue coats and half the arcade machines are broke showing place to go here I'd stay away if I was you

Horrific. Left after one night and if it wasn't for all hotels being booked up in the area and us having a 2 month old with us we didn't want to travel great distances with i wouldn't of stopped the one night! No double bed as booked so had to queue for 2 hours to get sheets which then had no bed sheets in then waiting another two hours to get this corrected! Had to ask for room to be cleaned again. No hot water. Unable to cook with pots as they were so dirty and i can only hope that it was mayonnaise all over the headboard in the bedroom!!!

As for entertainment.....dint even get that far but i saw the queues for he swimming and i couldn't see the stage due to the amount of people in the main room!! people......... take your families elsewhere for a holiday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Filthy and outdated accomodation
6 years 8 months ago
Attached photos the filthy and run down accommodation we were allocated. We visited Pontins Prestatyn with an open mind and took all the negative reviews with a pinch of salt. From start to finish the place was a nightmare, someone mentioned it was like a scene from Shameless, I think that was being polite ! People drinking from 9.30 in the morning roaming around the park with cans of alcohol. The smell of weed being smoked was pretty strong. Drunken noise until early hours of the morning.

The pub on the complex closed at 7pm so there was nowhere to buy a sit down meal. We were moved from one chalet to another as it wasn't fit for anything. The second wasn't much of an improvement and told it was the only one available. It was so bad my daughter refused to stay and took my 12 month old grand daughter home. It really doesn't matter how expensive or cheap the holiday is you do expect to have a clean chalet and everything in there to work properly. We wont be visiting again. Only saving grace the entertainment was pretty good, the entertainment team work hard, its a shame the rest of the staff don't.

The list is endless of dirty chalet, broken fixtures and fittings, all reported on site, some things reported several times. Filled in a 'guest solution form' at reception and assured we would hear back from Pontins within a few days, we've been home for nearly a fortnight and heard nothing.

Please do not suggest to take cleaning stuff with you and clean the chalet etc etc, it should already be done. The toilet was brown in the bowl, god only knows the last time that was cleaned. Filthy floor not been brushed or mopped, rusty toaster, filthy kettle, damp ceilings,rust and dirt all,over the bathroom, filthy wall heater, broken cooker which we only discovered whilst cooking - the door jammed shut and we couldnt open it, turned off the power but its an electric oven so carried on burning food, really dangerous, reported on day of arrival took 2 days for someone to sort it out after reporting it three times

Rooms and service a scham
7 years 6 months ago
We arrived only to be told we had an extra hour to wait to book in when we finally did we found our room to be occupied by two TVs none of which could produce any programmes (lack of ariel cable) when I managed to get some one to get one it took them 18 hours, the cups were still wet in cupboard, fridge full of ice dirty floor and when we complained nothing was done. We did half board food wise, nothing to write home about as a matter of fact I could and have cooked better, although in their favour they had a good choice. Noise wise we were in chalets directly across from on sight pub, noisy till 1am all in all a bad experience and will definitely not be going there again till things improve

horrid
8 years 8 months ago
We checked into Prestatyn Sands in 2012 it was horrid we had classic accommodation and it was horrible drugs under bed, food in oven,uncomfortable sofa very old fashioned TV.

The bathroom was horrible you had to press the button for shower every ten seconds, hairs in plug mouldy shower filthy mirror grimy tiles ugly windows horrible back of chalets. If i had to call pontins in 3 word i call it a prison war camp.

Leesy
Rude staff, dirty rooms
12 years 8 months ago
My family looked forward to what we thought was going to be a wonderful holiday at Pontins, guess what it wasn't.

Filthy rooms, dirty cups, dirty plates, windows with food smeared on them, noisy neighbours next door, shouting slamming doors, swearing between 1 and 4 am every night. When we told the manager he just laughed and said what can I do? We will never ever visit Pontins again.

Loved every minute
13 years 3 months ago
First of all I would like to say anyone who has rated Pontins in a bad way is totally wrong.

I have gone all my life and loved every single time. The apartment might not of been the cleanest place in the world but to be honest you are never in there except for sleeping and also the entertainment is fabulous.

I encourage anyone to go to Pontins Prestatyn for an amazing experience which also surrounded in a lovely town with lots of fun filled things to do.

Great for a bufget holiday
13 years 10 months ago
We went to the Pontins in Preststyn, stayed in a budget apartment. I thought the chalet was a bit worst for wear but what can you expect for the price you pay. The entertainment was great, the food was OK. The staff were as helpful as they could be and always full of smiles. We really enjoyed it. Great place to go.

We have now booked to go this year to Southport Pontins to try this one out. We loved Prestatyn just not very much in the town itself. Looking forward to going back to Pontins this year even if its in Southport. Fingers crossed we enjoy this holiday as much as the last.
