Disabled Parking:
There is allocated parking on arrival day. There are a limited number of allocated parking bays available on the Resort as traffic has to be kept to a minimum due to the large number of children on the Resort.
However, an allocated parking pass can be obtained on arrival day from check in, with the production of a disabled blue badge.
These passes are issued to any guest who is a blue badge holder unless they have booked disabled accommodation or Deluxe, in which case they would have their own private parking outside of the accommodation.
The parking bays that are allocated at check in are not guaranteed to be adjacent to the accommodation. We will do our best to allocate as close to the accommodation as possible.
However this is done on a first-come-first-served basis on arrival day so is not guaranteed, check in opens at 12pm for key collection.
