If you arrive with cash and do not have access to a card, please contact Guest Services and they will assist you.

Do guests require travel insurance?

We strongly advise you to take out travel and cancellation insurance in case of unforeseen circumstances. 

What time can I arrive on resort?

You can arrive from 11:00 am onwards on the day of your arrival and use all of the facilities that Bluestone has to offer. Our arrivals lodge is open 24 hours a day, so don't worry if you can't arrive until the evening.

You will be unable to take your car onto the resort until your check in time (2:00 pm for Studio apartments, 3:00 pm for Ramsey, Skomer and Grassholm lodges, or 4.30 pm for other lodge types).

On your departure day check out is at 10:00 am, however, you are welcome to stay onsite until 3:00 pm to use Bluestone's facilities.

Do you allow day visitors?

A temporary resident day visitor pass is required at a cost of £25pp (excludes New Years Eve) if a guest wishes to have friends or family visit them on the resort.  One pass is required for each person aged 2 years and over and is valid for the day specified only.  It entitles the day visitor access to the Blue Lagoon (subject to Blue Lagoon normal opening hours) and to use The Hive/Serendome, Nature Trail etc. All other activities / food / drink / Spa are to be purchased separately.

Bookings can be made via Guest Services (once you are on resort) or via sales on 01834 862400. Please note that day passes are not bookable online. 

Are pets allowed on resort?

While we have many wild and wonderful animals, birds and creepy crawlies living within our 500 acres of Pembrokeshire countryside, we have a no pets policy (except assistance dogs). This has been backed by guests, with 92 per cent saying they would not like to see pets on park.

We fully appreciate that many pet owners would love to have their adorable pets with them during their holiday and while they cannot visit or stay on park, we can recommend some great kennels and catteries locally. Please note that guest bringing their assistance dogs will need to bring their dog's registration documents with them to show on arrival.

Can I choose which lodge I stay in?

Lodges are allocated for you ahead of your arrival. If you would like to choose a specific lodge, you can pay a preference fee which is available either when booking your lodge, or via My Account up to 7 days before your arrival.

I have a large grocery shop, when can I bring this onto resort?

If you are planning to buy groceries for your break, we advise that you do this before your arrival and unpack the items at the same time as your luggage.

We request that you do not ask our staff for access to the resort after your arrival day as refusal often offends. Also, in the interest of guest safety, we do not allow external deliveries (e.g. Tesco/Sainsbury's) onto the resort or to our private car parks. Please do not book an external delivery, as they will not be permitted access to the site.

We have a number of hampers and grocery delivery options available to book on our website that can be delivered right to your lodge. 

Is there WiFi available on resort?

All accommodation and many areas of the resort have access to our complimentary WiFi. Simply enter your log in details to connect your selected device to our resort network.

What do we need to bring with us?

If you forget to bring something with you, don’t worry as most items are available from Newton Stores our Village convenience store. You can also book grocery delivery or hampers online in advance of your stay.

It may also be worthwhile reading our recommended family holiday packing checklist, suitable for your stay at Bluestone. 

We'd also recommend bringing your own re-usable water bottle as plastic water bottles are no longer sold on resort, as well as a re-usable shopping bag to be used in our retail outlets.
