I'll keep this fairly short. As we turned off Barkby Avenue my heart sank. I couldn't believe holiday camps could still look like this. Check in was a shambles, the room straight from the 1970's, the catering facilities on site desperately bad. Prestatyn itself is a nice seaside town with a great beach and amazing views. Go there, but just... More

Well last year we attended Pontins Camer sands for SFX Weekended it that was seriously dire. This year its Wales and I'm afraid not much better. Although at least our apartment was clean and had double glazing. The centre is bigger and the beer was a decent price but still the food was dire its way over priced, no toaster,... More

We arrived on the Friday, after reading some terrible reviews on this place whilst driving up we were not disappointed. The first thing we noticed when we arrived was the go kart track, this looked like it had been the victim of a nuclear holocaust, except it would probably be in better condition had a nuclear bomb hit it. We... More

To be honest, Prestatyn was a lovely location, lovely coast road coming in, beaches, pubs and shops aplenty in the town centre. Trouble is, this vista is ruined by the Pontins, stuck right in the middle of it all. First off, its ridiculously sign posted when travelling in from the East along the coast road, you can actually only see... More

we stayed at Pontins for the SFX magazine weekender Feb 3-5th 2012 the quality of the catering was dire. polystyrene cups in the canteen (not worthy of being called a restaurant) is hardly eco-friendly and made everything taste nasty. Pontins obviously make their money on buying in the cheapest nastiest tea, coffee, bacon & sausages. the staff did not have... More

We stayed at Pontins as it was the convention venue and to be honest our apartment was OK, but this was down to the fact we were staying in the best ones reserved for the guests of the show. The apartment itself was freezing constantly and very basic but clean. However I found the staff very rude, from the man... More

We stayed here for a weekend in Feb 2012 and it was the worst weekend we've ever had. The chalets cost £180 per night and how they have the cheek to charge this when you can get luxury hotels for the same price I don't know? The room was dirty, the carpets stained and the furniture was damaged. The whole... More

I only stayed here because the accomodation was included free as part of a weekend of gigs at Pontins by my favourite band, The Alarm. While the music was great, me and my friend were amazed at just how poor the accomodation was - we stayed in the mid market "Classic" apartments. The apartment had a pretty unpleasant odour as...
