Advantages: Brilliant Family fun

Disadvantages: Eating on resort is expensive if not Half Board

I have spent many a weekend here at Butlins in Skegness but always the adult 70's themed weekends. They have been brilliant and for about £80 for 4 days and 3 nights its a real bargain.
To be honest though i would have no idea about the facilities Butlins has to offer as we were self catering so ate in to save on funds and then partied all night.
The clubs provide a brilliant range of entertainment during the day and then at night and there is always something going on. Reds, Centre stage and Jaks the night club will keep you entertained till the early hours.
After my partying stage i finally settled down and had a baby and decided to give the Family Butlins a try. And i am so glad i did.
I don't really know where to start, Going half board meant we got to take advantage of the buffet breakfast and Dinner. It was ok, Not 5 star but that is not what I expected so not a problem. There was plenty of variety and some great Annabel Karmel children's meals which my son adored.

In the day, Well where to start. The facilities are amazing. An indoor and outdoor pool, Bob the builder Land, A fully equipped nursery which is payable locally but very good value and fully qualified staff is just the tip of the iceberg.

Play areas, the fair, soft play areas and a fully equipped playroom which is situated in the nursery grounds but all children must be supervised. This was a life saver. To know that my son could run riot for hours while mummy sat back and relaxed!! Naughty hehe!!

The staff were all extremely helpful and polite, It was a really cheap deal for 5 days, 2 adults and 1 child half board for £200, What more could you ask for.

Eating on site was very expensive, We did it once and never again, £20 for 2 adults for a pizza buffet, and they didnt charge us for my son thankfully. But if you are Self catering there is plenty of places to eat, Just expect to pay a lot for it.

The resort is a 10 minute drive in to the centre of Skegness and all its attractions and has its own beach. Perfect!

Parking can be difficult if you want to get close to your accomodation, if you dont mind, then its all good.

Summary: Perfect for children of any age.
