We stayed at Butlins in February and the machine that takes the inflatables up top was broken and there was no late night at the pool also it closed at 4pm. We have 2 autistic boys and always took them later as it was quieter. We are staying he now 25-29th November and won’t be coming back again. The machine that takes the inflatables up top has still not been fixed and people with children are struggling to help their child up the stairs and roll the heavy inflatables up the many flights of stairs. Added to this the rapids are closed as the roller door won’t open and apparently can’t be fixed this week- what bad management, can you image if you had a shop and the roller door was broken, it would be fixed pronto but Butlins are happy to leave it shut. Let’s face it they will need less lifeguards so all good for them. Our autistic boys can’t watch the shows as they are too loud and they have no understanding of them so the only activities they take part in are the fun fair and the pool. Butlins seem to be taking less and less care of the splash zone and our boys were crying yesterday as the rapids are closed with no rush to reopen them. We wish we had never booked this holiday, we used to love it here but it’s no fun for our boys now
