Hi, we went at the beginning of June. If you haven't been before like us you may be very shocked at the place. I have a complaint pending. I don't know what sort of Chalet you are staying in but it's a good idea to take cleaning sprays and cloths with. The place is filthy! We won't be going again and if it hadn't been for daughter we would have driven the 3 hours back home.

It really is a lovely long sand beach - from memory of about 35 years ago!! i loved it when I was little, but in that day there was a long set of steps up from the car park to the beach. If you take a picnic make sure it is well covered because the sand blows everywhere - you really do get sandwiches!

The first (and last) thing to remember is - have a wonderful time.

i took anti bacterial disinfectant with me on the say so from others that the place was dirty but all i used was the disinfectant spray on the surfaces and bath and toilet just to make sure it was my standards of clean but it wasnt like i had to scrub everything it was bascily spray and wipe. and even my mother in law and 2 friends that was scatterd about pontins said there chalets were clean as well so it wasnt like it was just me that had a happy cleaner that loved her job

I said this on another Thread, so sorry to say it again,

If there is anything wrong with the standard of cleaning in the Chalet, Go and tell them...they will send someone out to clean it again.

If anything is broken go and tell them they will send someone out to fix it.

and hope you all have a great time.

Hi, im off to camber on the 21/07,
we ususally go to haven in weymouth bay,
My tip would be to take a rucksac into the showbar in the evening, and make sure u have a large 2l bottle of pop ( not bough on site!) and those sweet bags like maltesers which are 2 for £2 in sainsburys, so my sons snacks works out at £2 for the whole evening, no one has said anything about us smuggling our own drink and snacks in, lol last year in weymouth we even took our own cider in as it was only £2 in tescos for a 2l bottle, where they charge near on £3 a pint.

xxxx Have fun and let us know how u get on xxxxx

Just a quick tip for anywhere with sands in its name, take plenty of sunblock (even on overcast days) and ordinary saline eyedrops for the inevitable eyes full of sand. I live near Poppit Sands and spend half my working life washing out eyes and treating sunburn from people who are not used to the reflective properties of sand/sea.
have fun, its years since I did the Pontins thing but we all enjoyed it
:beer::rolleyes:
