Dizzy just to let you know that I have just called Pontins Prestatyn and got a 1 bed club apartment. I also had upgraded to the 2 bed classic so it hasnt cost me anymore to change.

Hope that helps anyone.

It does seem to depend on who you get on the phone? When I booked I was told I needed to upgrade to 2 bed because there's 5 of us, but in the brochure it says a 1 bed classic should sleep 5

Someone called me back from Pontins because I complained that at the time of booking it wasn't explained what I was getting for my £30 (I thought I'd upgraded not just got an extra room), they also told me that there are no 1 bed club appartments left but offered me a 2 bed club for an extra £25, which after reading this thread we took. It's not a lot for the hassle of taking towels and tea bags (sounds daft but with 3 kids I've enough to pack) and the kids will enjoy the digital TV because we wont be able to spend much time in the bar!

It's still great to get a weekend away for £55 but I'm not happy that I was told I had to "upgrade" when clearly I didn't.

I can't see how the one bed would sleep 5!?

ours had two very small single beds, and a sofa bed, so unless three are kids who can squeeze in together then I'd say you need the 2 bed.

Hope everyone has a good time!

When we were at Prestatyn, we noticed some of the chalets had bunks in them. So I'm guessing the one bed chalets have a bunk and a single bed in the bedroom, and then there is the sofa/bed in the main living area, making a total of five.

I really wish I could have made use of this offer but my parents are away for the next 2 weeks and can't have the dog.

Glad you have all had a great time and I hope you that havn't been yet have a great time too.

Yep - we're off to Southport too. Will take the Martin pic. Hope the weather holds. We only live in St Helens so only 40mins away. Have a good time.

Hi we're at Prestatyn too this weekend, it'd be great if we could think of a way to recognise fellow msers, I don't have any of the bumper stickers or things mentioned earlier. Any suggestions? Depending on how many are going we could just give descriptions of ourselves?
