    Did you call the number from the alton towers website in the book a hotel section, that is the number I called to book mine.

    I managed to get through yesterday, have booked to go next Thurs 29th
    Hotel B&B + Water Park tickets for me, hubby & 4 yr old cost £76.
    Didn't have to pay water park for son as under 5 is free.

    Ordered the park tickets yesterday from Tescos so hopefully they come in time! The woman said they usually take 3-7 days.

    When I booked mine you could include entrance to the park if you want or just b&b, I did just b&b as park entrance worked out to be an extra £24 each and I am going to use my tesco clubcards instead. The water park is an extra £9 each.

    did you book online or over the phone?

    i booked online and it never gave me an option of entrance to the park,

    have i done something wrong, i booked in the splashworld hotel... please help

    Do you mean the Splash Landings Hotel ? :confused:
    If you have a reservation number you should still be able to book discounted tickets. There was a leaflet that came with my confirmation letter yesterday it says:

    Remember it's not too late to upgrade your package to include our spa, theme park or an additional day in the water park. You will even receive a discount if you book before your visit. (water park usually £12.50 discounted price is £9. I think the discounted Park tickets were £24)

    You can find out more at https://www.altontowers.com or call us on 0870 444 6991.

    Hope that helps! :rotfl:

    Got a leaflet with the free local paper which says quote promotional code 'GDD' at https://www.altontowers.com or call 0870 999 1136 to book. Valid 17 March - 30 June excluding 7-14 April on limited number of standard rooms, B&B rates only.

    Also got 6 x £10 off vouchers on the leaflet, plus free entry to Warwick Castle if adult another pays full price.

    Thank you so much for this! My children saw the Alton Towers advert last night and both went - wow mum!!! They went last Easter and loved it.

    I've just booked one night at Spash Landings for £66 for all of us (2 adults & 2 children) for June. Off to order my tickets via Tesco Clubcard now - but thank you so much!!!

    I recently got the Tussauds Group voucher leaflet through the door - promoting Half Price Hotel stays at Alton Towers using code GDD, but it excluded 31 March to 17 April. Which is when we were going to Alton Towers Theme Park. (2 adults & 2 kids) I was not prepared to pay the online prices - at the end of the day is is just a hotel. Some of the feedback on Trip Advisor is not so good either. When I exited from the site a feedback box popped up - which I completed stating the prices are too expensive.

    This morning I got a call from them responding to my feedback. She asked what price I thought was reasonable - so I said the first price that came into my head, she bettered the price by £1 but it was for Splash Landings, I said what's the best price for Alton Towers Hotel? she came back with a price £9.00 dearer than my initial price. Which is a fantastic deal, especially as my initial price was laughable and I never expected them to be able to do any deals.

    Works out we got 26% off their online price, which will more than cover spenditure at the parks. I'm very pleased.

    Just goes to show how accommodating some of these big organisations are.
