OK for 1 night
Hotel OK and good location. We thought the breakfast was a rip off at £18 per head. designed for high volume throughput not quality!

Great stay
We had a lovely stay but did not take advantage of the restaurant etc. however, room was nice and clean. The bed was a little too firm for my liking but I do prefer pillow like mattresses. Other than that, it was great.

Waited so long at the bar the first night that we ended up leaving. Ordered room service 2nd night which took longer than we were told but was nice.
Price for parking was shocking and if we had realised before booking with have gone elsewhere which we will do in future

Outstanding stay
We had an excellent stay for the weekend. 2 adults 2 children. The family room was amazing. The children had their own area with bunk beds, tvs and game console. The room was lovely. The hotel gave us a pass to go through to the pleasure beach at the back of the hotel. The buffet breakfast was outstanding. Being gluten free, the cook fresh food for you and explain what is available. I would definitely stay here again. The hotel staff were lovely and very helpful.

Another fab stay
Not our first stay at The Big Blue and won’t be our last.
We had 2 double rooms and both were upgraded to deluxe at check in.
The staff work really hard and are very friendly.
Breakfast is amazing!

Geared for Kids
We booked at short notice and had not realised this is a hotel that is geared for children, if that is what we wanted it would have got a 5 star review but alas it was not for us.
No problems with anything and for me looking out of my window at the big dipper rides on the Blackpool Pleaseure Beach was not a problem, in fact it was nice to see!

Good, but not great
PS3 in rooms not worth shouting about. No games provided etc.. nice hotel but not worth the extra over a premier inn for example

Having to wait to be checked in
Its a lovely hotel
But only one person on reception
And had to wait about 12 minutes to check in
That was very disappointing
But otherwise its a very good hotel

Loved this hotel, room was clean and well decorated. Staff were lovely and incredibly helpful. we made use of the new free admission into the theme park after 4pm which was a great perk! Bed was very comfortable. Some negatives were parking was £20 a night which was expensive and room was located near lifts which was fairly noisy late evening. Will definitely stay here again next year!
