    This might not apply to Presthaven Sands but when we went to Hopton a few year ago, you couldn't enter the main building without your pass so you couldn't use the bars, arcades, restaurant or swimming pool.
    Thanks to everyone who posts comps, I love winning prizes big and small

    Thanks Rachie B, erm weather was really good last week so we were lucky but did leave feeling as though we hadn't had a holiday at all.

    Couldn't quite put our finger on what the problem was though.

    Isle of Wight was very picturesque but think that the fact the site we stayed at was MILES away from anywhere put us off. Last year we had been to New Quay (Wales) and loved it, walked into the town of an evening, really relaxed atmosphere.

    Thorness Bay, very quite all round, not many people at the site (probably due to time of year we went) entertainment really not up to much, couldn't even walk into any kind of local civilisation. Can't say we will be rushing to move to the Island any time soon.

    I'd opt out of the passes until you get there and then find out what they do cover before paying for them the prices don't change from buying in advance or buying when there so you would only need to buy them if it's going to affect you.

    I haven't been for a few years but from memory you need the pass for the swimming pool and also for the main building which is where the arcades, clubs, bars etc. are

    You can use the on-site shop without a pass, and the beach.

    On all haven sites you can't get into the main complex without a pass, and the main complex contains everything from the bars to the arcade to the pool, and even the kiddies playground is likely to be fenced off, and cannot be accessed without going through the main entrance to the complex.
