Advantages: adequate sized caravans, quiet location

Disadvantages: cleanliness, park is dead at night

Earlier this year, in July, my mum, my sister and me (and the dog too) went to Prestatyn for our summer holidays. It was an enjoyable experience overall, and apart from a few disagreements with my family I had an excellent time.

==Room==
===Size===
Okay, I don't expect a caravan to be massive but the rooms (mines in particular) were quite small, although the biggest room was about double the size of the others and the living room/kitchen was an adequete size, with plenty of room to move around. We had a 3 bedroom caravan with 5 beds in total (4 single and 1 double). There was plenty of room for the dog and the sofa in the living room could have been used by two people as a bed.

===Cleanliness===
The cleaning staff did an alright job before we got in but didn't think about washing the windows or mirrors, which were mostly filthy (though my mum cleaned the worst ones herself - we had to live there for a week). There were 2 dead flies lying in the living room (one behind the curtains and one on the fruit bowl we didn't use). The sheets were all clean and the table, counters, dishes and utensils were all spotless so I guess cleanliness averages out at OK.

===Features===
We had a magnitude of features I didn't expect: running water (hot AND cold, but with no other temperatures in between), electricity, a working TV (with 5 channels and no remote), an oven/grill with a gas stove and a shower. It also had bright lights, working locks (on one of the two doors) and a power outlet for a shaver.

===Room Condition===
The sofa was broken and there were an odd number of plates (with an even number of bowls) but other that that everything was fine. Unlike every other caravan I've been in, the toilet worked for the full week!

==Hotel Facilities==
===General Condition===
There were a number of run-down caravans on the site that made the place look shabby and there was a lot of blandly coloured vegitation marking the boundry between the site and the neighbouring beach. There were sports facilities, which I avoided at all costs, and an arcade with many games which took all of my money. There was also a shop and resturaunts on the site although these were all about half a mile away from the caravan.

===Front Desk===
The check in desk was nowhere near the front. It was about 1/4 of the way into the park. While my caravan was right at the opposite end of the park, others would have to turn back after check-in.

==Location==
===Transport Connection===
Unknown - I used a car to get everywhere. I did see a bus coming into the park regularly, though.

===Night Life===
Appart from the arcade, I didn't notice anything else during the night. The resturaunts, which included Burger King, all shut quite early (about 10pm) and the shop closed at about the same time.

===Quiet Location===
During the night there was silence at my area, apart from a few wanderers looking for there caravan. The beach was often quite busy but the noice couldn't be heard at my area (even though it was less than a minute walk to the beach).
