Hotel in zona Central Pier, Blackpool

My friend and I and our two twelve year olds had a lovely 3 day stay at The Bluewaters Hotel. We got what we paid for and more. Really had a fun time. I swithered on booking as the reviews were awful, but was swayed by the attraction of a swim. So pleased I was. Fabulous location, the best staff, great fun... But please note.. - Swimming costs £5 per person/ child for every hour. I was happy to pay that. And you have to book in advance. I would advise getting changed and ready for your swim in your room and taking a dressing gown with you AND importantly asking for towels before going for your swim... and ladies... No hair dryers in the changing area which is a tad chilly. - The room we stayed in was cold on arrival but they were happy to turn on the heating earlier than it would have gone on with the timer. - Dinner is served downstairs of an evening £16.50 for adults, £8 for children.. I seriously recommend going elsewhere... Go to Nandos instead... dinner in the hotel is edible, but everything else about it is awful. - If you aren't driving... invest in tram tickets... it's the best way to go. A group day ticket for up to 5 adults is £18, lots more options depending on your group size and length of stay. - Breakfast is fine. - Take some of your own wine and beer. The bar is fully stocked and prices for sitting in are reasonable, but for a wee drinky in the room.. go co-op (there is one less than 10 minutes walk away). - We discovered by accident the live entertainment on Saturday night... no idea how often this happens and when, but it was really good fun. The weans didn't know any of the songs, but (showing my age a bit here)... I did! - The beach is very close... if you don't take advantage and have a paddle you are missing the best bit of staying here. - The lift was broken when we stayed... be prepared for many stairs if like us you find yourself on the third floor. This is an honest and straightforward Blackpool hotel with no pretensions. We had a great time... if you go open to what is on offer at such a reasonable rate... I hope you enjoy as much as we did.

It is a great atmospheric old Victorian hotel, with friendly staff, good food and clean rooms. A bit pricey on the drinks, but that is to be expected. Only one complaint is the price and quality of the soft drinks. The £2.75 small Pepsi was a cheap shot of diluted Pepsi with flat lemonade, it is not the price, but you would expect a bottle, or can in a hotel. If not the original, Aldi and Lidol do a great copy, anything but the disgusting diluted stuff, which is not even good for kids. Thanks for a great 2 day stay and hopefully, we will be back very soon. Regards Michael and Sylvia Chapman

We went on a short break, staff were great. The room itself was fine though there was a broken light switch which we reported to reception. This was still to be changed when we left on the Monday(reported Saturday am). Bar prices were typical for a hotel and entertainment finished at 9pm on the Saturday as the singer was going to another hotel. That said we would go back again.

L'hotel era molto bello, la camera era spaziosa e pulita. La reception e il personale dell'hotel sono molto benvenuti. Si consiglia a chiunque cercasse un hotel di qualità.

Tutto è andato prima, durante il tempo di controllo, invece di una stanza a tempo pieno, siamo stati controllati nella stanza della regina, ma dopo aver parlato con la signora del desk front, è stato ordinato.

Hotel accogliente con personale amichevole e ausiliario. Sicuramente lo consiglierei!

Always excellent as I’ve stayed here before the staff are always very friendly and welcoming. Very helpful and tend to every need. The bar has a lovely atmosphere the drinks are reasonably priced too. The girl that works behind the bar is one of the best barmaids I’ve ever met she has a way with the customers which brings them back time and time again. Would definitely recommend and stay again without any doubt.
