Splash Landings Hotel (Alton Towers)

Having organised an office trip out to Alton Towers for the day, we decided it would be best to travel up the previous day and stay overnight to get the most out of the rides the next day rather than leave London at the crack of dawn. BOOKING PROCESS As the Alton Towers hotel was fully booked already (or so we were advised by the bookings team) we decided to opt for the Splash Landings hotel instead. I had originally tried to book an earlier date and had communicated with the "Leisure Events Coordinator" (LEC) via email who I had not found very forthcoming with information. When I confirmed the date that we actually wanted I was ...  Read the complete review

Splash Landings is a themed Hotel at the Alton towers resort. "Feel like you have stepped into a Caribbean paradise without even stepping on a plane!" is what they boost. I was lucky enough recently to win a an over night stay in the splash landings hotel from my local paper. I was over the moon as there is no way we would have been able to afford to go at the moment. I priced up how much it would cost for 2 adults and 2 infants and the two day passes for the theme park and it came to £328. Firstly finding the hotel was straight forward Alton towers is signed all the way from the M1 but it is quite a distance and we also borrowed a Sat ...  Read the complete review

I stayed at the Alton Towers Splash Landings hotel in February 2007 for their Towers and Treats event. It cost £168 for 2 adults 1 child and 1 infant including free access to the Towers and Treats event, unlimited rides on oblivion and various other rides in Old Mcdonalds farm, a 2 day waterpark pass for the 4 of us and a buffet breakfast with one nights stay. Arrival - The hotel has a large foyer area with a caribbean theme, my son immediately ran over to the large windows which feature throughout the lobby and overlook the Cariba Creek waterpark and it is a fantastic sight. The reception area was very quiet and although we had arrived 4 hours before the ...  Read the complete review

I vistited Splash Landing Hotel with 12 friends in September last year. We'd managed to get a fairly good deal of £67 each for a night in the hotel and 2 days in the park. The downside was, we had to have 3/4 people in each room to get that price. We had looked at the main hotel, but were told that it was fully booked. On checking in, the first thing I noticed was the over powering smell of chlorine. Understandably, the Carriba Creek waterpark is in the middle of the hotel, but surely the whole hotel shouldn't smell that much? The whole of reception was covered in huge, bright, tropical decorations, and carribean music was playing quite loudly int he ...  Read the complete review

The Splash Landings hotel opened in summer of 2003 and it is Europe's first waterpark hotel. It is owned by the Tussauds groups and it is the second Alton Towers hotel. It is advertised as a "tranquil Caribbean village built around the Caribbean water park "Cariba Creek" the best place to see what's going on in Cariba Creek is certainly from inside the hotel! With huge glass windows and with a beach theme the hotel offers you a very rewarding look over the water park". I certainly didn't find our experience there to be tranquil - it was anything but. The waterpark in the hotel is called Cariba Creek and looking at it from all angles, it ...  Read the complete review
