    Scottish f, there is no way of booking online without a code - get your form in the post tommorow by special delivery, you may be suprised.

    first year we went, i did a postal applicaion and got what we wanted, the right park for the right dates, our number 1 choice. I reckon they hold some back for the postal applications
    The opposite of what you know...is also true

    Is anyone else having a problem when you put the eight codes in, and press BOOK NOW. It doesn't seem to take you anywhere - or have ALL the holidays in all sites gone, and this is why, or is it just accepting priority codes, and will open up "the remainder" after a time. Sorry, new to this, have checked through all posts and some people seem to be saying the same as me, but nobody has answered. thanks, Sal xx

    You can't book a holiday online unless you have a priority code
  • Be careful when booking a holiday, check with the main provider first. i booked a butlins holiday without checking and i have spent more with the sun than i would direct. (i chose different dates to the one i checked but forgot to check again to see if it was a bargin)

    Hi, ive never been with the sun but ive been twice before and if you have kids get an apartment as you won't have a lot of space if you get just a room. Depending on how old your kids are the entertainment is good as they have all the kids characters bob the bulider etc, there is a free fair and soft play area, and swimming pool. And Skegness beach is just down the road along with Fantasy island rides park so plenty to do. We are going again in 3 weeks for a weekend and I can't wait.

    I think I have done the same Starframe18. Although I have just come back from butlins Bognor and no passes were need to get into the likes of CentreStage or Reds. All that was being requested was room key be shown.
    I don't think we need to buy the Entertainment passes. Does anyone know???

    Thanks

    Officially the line is that you have to buy the passes to go swimming, see the shows etc etc. However, I spoke to a very helpful lady today who said at a certain site (won't say which), it's been reported that entertainment passes are never asked for. Plus as its a schools out break, it will be very busy and they won't be able to check all the time. She said worst case to buy at the resort for the same price. Obviously it's a bit of a gamble but thought would pass that info on.
