How do I book activities?
Activities can be booked in advance during peak times on our online system (Sandy Balls, Tattershall Lakes and Whitecliff Bay only).
Please be aware, whilst our facilities are open at reduced capacity due to government restrictions, bookable sessions will subsequently operate on a limited capacity to comply with social distancing measures and therefore, availability is not guaranteed.
What do guest passes allow me access to/why do I need them?
If you are a private guest you will require a guest pass to access all of the main facilities including the pools, restaurants, bars, splash pads, arcade, activities, entertainment where applicable depending on your chosen holiday park. If you book directly with Away Resorts, your passes are included in your booking cost and welcome pack.
