The bed was really comfortable and the bed linen lovely and soft. Also loved the dimmer light switch which was a lovely touch.

Just perfect for resting after a day's sightseeing. The room is divided between a carpeted bed area and a laminate floor living area which had a modern electric fire which works and isn't just for decoration, two really comfortable soft chairs, two footstools and two tables. We could hear the rumble of it when we were in our room on the other side of the hotel. I know some people liked the Pleasure Beach view but the Big One really is just outside the window and I would imagine could be a novelty to start with but would quickly start to get on your nerves. We were at the front of the hotel and had a partial sea view. We stayed in a Deluxe Double Room and it was well worth the supplement. Just back from a weekend in the Big Blue and would thoroughly recommend it. Upon arriving back home my daughter discovered that the teddy 's stitching had come out, so I sent it back to the Manager and asked fo a refund - 2 days later a parcel arrived- a refund of the purchase price, the postage and a teddy for my daughter. Throughout the staff were attentive and helpful. Breakfast was easy and plentiful- (whoever invented 'self service' had children!). The children's meal was great and very good value, Dad's meal was good as well.


The room was lovely - clean, well appointed (great for children), we visited the bar so Dad could have a (well earned!) drink and when we saw the menu, decided that 'fish and chips' would be forsaken for the Blues Cafe. We arrived at 12, no rooms ready, however we were able to use the hotel car park - 7 1/2 hours later (after many rides) my daughter still hadn't won one of the cuddly toys at the Pleasure Beach (with the tears of a dissapointed 8 year old), so on arriving at the hotel to check in I purchased a 'big blue teddy'. The purpose of our visit was two fold, firstly to experience the delights (?) of the Pleasure Beach, and secondly as an overnight stay before going on to the Open at Royal Birkdale. I visited the Big Blue in july 2008 with my 3 children.
