As the name suggests, this property is big (it has 157 rooms) and it is painted an unmissable shade of blue. The hotel is just off the Promenade on
Blackpool's South Shore, less than 15 minutes by tram from the centre of this lively seaside resort.
There are plenty of attractions nearby, including Sandcastle Waterpark -- the UK's largest indoor waterpark -- less than 10 minutes' walk from the hotel. The
iconic Blackpool Tower, which was built in 1894 and has an observation deck offering views of the seafront, is less than 10 minutes' drive (or 15 minutes' tram ride) away. Blackpool Pleasure Beach (open daily until 4 November) is adjacent to the hotel -- there's an exclusive entrance into the theme park for guests (time restrictions apply).
The hotel has a
fully equipped studio gym and services including personal training, massages and sports injury therapy are available by appointment for an extra fee. The Blues Bar & Brasserie is open all day for drinks and dining. There's a children's menu and kids can help prepare their own pizzas, tortilla wraps and ice cream sundaes. Afternoon tea is served in the bar area or on the patio, weather permitting. There's an à la carte evening menu, and during the day, a bistro-style menu of light bites, sandwiches and meals in the informal café bar.
Bedrooms are decorated with Designers Guild fabrics. There are family rooms with separate children's areas featuring bunk beds and PlayStation 3 consoles. Spacious Deluxe suites have separate lounge areas with contemporary fireplaces and Juliet balconies overlooking the Pleasure Beach. Wi-Fi is free.

Only one tiny suggestion. Not a complaint. In the gym, which is okay for a quick keeping up whilst away sort of workout, it was lovely to see a full bathroom suite. However, it would be really good to have an electric hand drier in there. I'm sure that there are intrinsically safe units for bathrooms.

Unfortunately, our baby sitter let us down so we had to take our son with us to the hotel which wasn't part of the travel zoo deal and initially the hotel were quite awkward about adding him to the booking but for an additional fee (£20 for breakfasts) and change to a family room we got there in the end.
Perhaps there should be some more flexibility in the deal for genuine reasons for change like myself which would have made the process less stressful.
