Blackpool's BEST Luxury Apartments: Sasco's Stunning Suites Await!
Blackpool's BEST Luxury Apartments: Sasco's Stunning Suites Awai… Oh Boy, Let Me Tell You! (A Totally Unbiased Review… Maybe)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I just got back from a Blackpool experience and I'm still unpacking. And I mean that literally, and figuratively, because my brain is a suitcase of glitter, chips, and the faint smell of the sea. This review? Consider it less a polished diamond and more a slightly chipped, but still dazzling, piece of Blackpool rock. We’re talking Sasco's Stunning Suites Await! – and, spoiler alert, they mostly did.
First Impressions (and the Accessibility Angle, 'cause Real Talk):
Okay, let's get this out of the way early. I'm not personally a wheelchair user, but I was paying attention on this trip. And listen, if accessibility is a biggie for you, Sasco's is doing it right. The information on their website is great, and even better, the reality matched up. Wheelchair accessible? Tick. Elevators galore? Big tick. I saw ramps, spacious rooms, and a general vibe of genuine care. Seriously, this ain't always a given. I spent one afternoon just watching people navigate the hotel, and it was smooth sailing. They've put some serious thought into it, which, let's be honest, is a huge deal.
The "Stuff" They Have (and Some Random Thoughts):
This is where the fun begins – because Sasco's isn't just about accessibility; it’s about pampering. Let's dive in shall we?
- Internet… Internet. Internet. (And Wi-Fi!): Okay, essential first. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms?! Hallelujah! No agonizing buffering during a Netflix binge. Plus, I saw signs for Internet [LAN], which, for the old-school gamer in me, is a beautiful thing. Internet services – they have them, I'm sure. Did I need them? Nope. I was too busy eating chips. But the point is, they offer them. So, you know, progress is being made.
- Things to Do & Ways to Relax (Because Blackpool is Blackpool): Here's where things get interesting. Fitness center? Yes. Gym/fitness? Yep. And, get this, they have a Spa! A Spa/sauna! And a Sauna! Which I didn't use, because I'm a simple creature and spa stuff terrifies me (I'm picturing cucumber slices and weird music). There's also a Swimming pool [outdoor] and even a Pool with view, just in case you want a view with your splash. I'm all about the poolside bar (more on this later).
- Body blah blah… Body scrub, body wrap, foot bath? I'm a simple soul, so I went for the massage. And it was… bliss. I could write a whole separate review just on that massage (and I probably will, because honestly, it was better than the fish and chips). A total highlight. You NEED to book one. Seriously.
- Cleanliness & Safety (because 2024): This is a big one. The fact that they're using Anti-viral cleaning products and have Daily disinfection in common areas and are doing Professional-grade sanitizing services is a huge relief. This is Blackpool, not a sterile lab. But it's reassuring. They also have things like Doctor/nurse on call, First aid kit, and Hand sanitizer readily available.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (The Heart of the Blackpool Experience):
Alright, folks, let's talk food. Because Blackpool is all about the food (and the illuminations, obviously).
- Restaurants: They have several Restaurants and a Poolside bar. I spent, to be honest, most of my time at the Poolside bar. I felt like I was living some sort of dream, the sun shining (a rare Blackpool treat, I know), a cocktail in hand, and the faint sound of the sea in the background and the smell of chlorine made me instantly calm. It was the perfect combination.
- Food: They have a Breakfast [buffet]. They also offer Breakfast service and a Breakfast takeaway service. I went for the Buffet because, well, that's the best way to start the day. It was Western and also offered an Asian side, as well. It had Coffee/tea in restaurant and even Bottle of water.
Services & Conveniences (The Little Extras That Can Make or Break a Stay):
- Extra Stuff: The Concierge knows his/her stuff, helping out guests with everything. The Cash withdrawal option sure came in handy. The Elevator was a godsend to get to my high-floor room. Facilities for disabled guests are plentiful.
- Other Amenities: Air conditioning in public area, Cashless payment service, Coffee shop, a Convenience store, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Facilities for disabled guests, Gift/souvenir shop, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, and Safety deposit boxes, among others. It's pretty great.
For the Kids (Because Blackpool is a Family Thing):
- Family Matters: Babysitting service? Yes! Family/child friendly? Absolutely. Kids meal? Yep. They cater to the little tykes.
The Rooms (My Personal Oasis):
Oh, the rooms! This is where Sasco really shines.
- Comfort & Style: The rooms are gorgeous. Non-smoking rooms that are actually non-smoking (praise be!). My room had Air conditioning, which was a lifesaver (especially after a day on the pier). The Bathrobes were plush (I practically lived in them). A Coffee/tea maker (essential for a good start) and Free bottled water. I also appreciate the fact that they offer Extra long bed, because the longer you can stay in bed the better! In the end, it was just what it needed to be and it helped make my stay that much more enjoyable.
Getting Around (Because Blackpool is Big on the Map):
- Transportation: They have Airport transfer, and Car park, the Taxi service which makes getting to and from the hotel a breeze.
Overall Vibe & Recommendation (The Honest Truth):
Look, I'm not going to lie. I went to Blackpool with expectations that were somewhere between "slightly skeptical" and "ready for the worst". Sasco's Stunning Suites, however, blew those expectations out of the water. It’s not just a hotel; it’s an experience. A genuinely comfortable, stylish, and, most importantly, welcoming experience.
Here's the Raw, Unfiltered, Honest-to-Goodness Truth: Sasco’s is damn good. The location is ideal, the staff is genuinely lovely, and the rooms are beautiful. They've nailed the details. The fact that it's accessible is a massive bonus – they're going above and beyond.
My Recommendation: Book it. Seriously. Book it now. And, if you do, make sure you book a massage. Thank me later.

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's perfectly-polished itinerary. This is a trip to Blackpool, baby, and we're doing it right. Or, at least, we think we're doing it right. Sasco Luxury Apartments, here we come! (Fingers crossed they're actually luxurious…)
Blackpool Bonanza: A (Potentially) Hilarious Disaster in the Making
Day 1: Arrival and…Well, Let's See What Happens.
1:00 PM - Arrival in Blackpool. (Probably after a soul-crushing motorway journey): Okay, first hurdle: the M6. Seriously, has anyone ever completed that drive without wanting to ram their car into a service station? Pray for a quick trip, because patience is a virtue I lack, especially when I'm hangry. Arrival at the glorious Sasco Luxury Apartments. I’m expecting Hollywood, really. Expect a lot of "Oohs" and "Aahs" (or, you know, a muttered, "Bloody hell, hope it's clean"). Getting the keys and finding the apartment.
1:30 - 2:30 PM - Apartment Inspection (and Praying it Doesn't Smell of Chips, Seriously): Lugging the bags. Unpacking, and doing the proper apartment inspection. Okay, I'm a bit of a neat freak, so let's be honest, this could get ugly. I'll be the one checking for dust bunnies, and the level of cleanliness. And the view! The view! is it gorgeous or a parking lot? I'll try to stay positive. Then, panic ensues. Did I remember the bottle opener? Are we out of toilet paper already? This is where the "Luxury" will be tested. I'm already envisioning a disastrous start.
2:30 - 4:00 PM - The Pleasure Beach Pilgrimage (and Attempting to Look Cool on a Rollercoaster): Right, time to embrace the circus. Blackpool Pleasure Beach! The crowds. The noise. The sheer, unadulterated joy (or panic, depending on my stomach's mood). I'm a rollercoaster enthusiast, but I'm also getting older. The Big One? After a full English breakfast, maybe not. We're riding it. I’m promising myself to not throw up. Trying to capture video worthy content. You'll probably find me clutching onto the seat, looking a little too pale. But hey, at least I'll have a story!
4:00 - 5:00 PM - Doughnuts and Dodgems (or, "Embracing My Inner Child"): Because sugar and reckless driving are the perfect combination. Doughnuts first, obviously. Then, dodgems, because I will win. No mercy. Watch out, random children, I'm coming for you.
5:00 PM - 6:00 PM - The Tower…and the Terrifying Views (Seriously, Heights): Blackpool Tower. Iconic, right? But that glass floor? Ugh. Butterflies of the stomach. I'm either going to gracefully conquer my fear, or I'm going to crawl on my hands and knees. There's no in-between. Pray for me.
6:30 PM - 8:00 PM - Dinner (and a Desperate Search for Decent Food): Okay, the million-dollar question: where to eat? Fish and chips are mandatory. But where's the good fish and chips? Google reviews seem like a minefield. I will spend the next hour or so reading reviews, looking for the right place.
8:00 PM Onwards - Illuminations and a Potential Melt-Down: Blackpool Illuminations. Glimmering lights, hopefully not too tacky. More crowds. More sugar-induced energy. If all goes well, maybe a relaxing drink back at the apartment. More likely, I'll be sprawled on the sofa, desperately trying to switch off all the lights and avoid an emotional meltdown.
Day 2: Seaside Shenanigans and a Search for Souvenirs
9:00 AM - 10:00 AM - Breakfast (Hopefully Not Burned Toast): Breakfast at the apartment. I hope there's some decent tea and coffee. Or maybe I'll just skip it and go straight for the doughnuts. This will be the first test of my morning.
10:00 AM - 12:00 PM - The Beach (and Attempting to Look Relaxed): Walk along the beach, breathe in that sea air… or, you know, grit my teeth as the wind whips my hair into a frenzy. Sandcastles? Nah, let someone else do the work. Just a casual stroll. I’ll try to look all windswept and philosophical.
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM - A Souvenir Hunt (and Accepting My Tourist Status): Blackpool has all the souvenirs. Kissing the Blackpool rock at a souvenir shop. I'll spend way too long deliberating over which tacky trinket to buy. Probably end up with a key ring.
1:00 PM - 2:00 PM - Lunch (and Probably More Fish and Chips): If my stomach can handle it. Maybe a seafood place!
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM - More Pleasure Beach (If I Survive Day 1): If the rollercoaster ride didn’t kill me, maybe one more visit. If not, maybe some of the shows.
4:00 PM - 5:00 PM - Afternoon Tea (Fancy, or a Total Disaster?): Attempting a civilized activity. Afternoon tea somewhere fancy. Or, well, as fancy as Blackpool gets. Fingers crossed I don't spill tea everywhere.
5:00 PM - 6:00 PM - Sunset stroll (and pretending I don't have blisters): Because, romantic. Even if my feet are screaming.
6:30 PM - 8:00 PM - Dinner (and Trying a Different Restaurant): I’ll be doing my best to avoid the same mistakes.
8:00 PM - Onwards - Wind down and relax or prepare for chaos depending on the day's events.
Day 3: Farewell Blackpool (and a Promise to Return… Eventually)
9:00 AM - 10:00 AM - Farewell Breakfast (and Cleaning the Apartment): Last breakfast. And cleaning the luxury apartment, because I am not paying extra charges.
10:00 - 11:00 AM - Final Stroll and Goodbyes… or, You Know, More Panic: One last look at the sea. More last-minute souvenir purchases.
11:00 AM - Departure (and Praying the M6 is Less Evil This Time): Buckle up, here we go again… Let’s hope the trip was worth it.
Okay, so that's the plan. Wish me luck. I'll need it. And if you see a slightly frazzled individual wandering around Blackpool, clutching a giant stuffed donkey and muttering about rollercoasters, well… that's probably me.
Postscript: I'm already anticipating at least three major disasters. I hope I'm wrong, but something tells me this is going to be epic. At least, it will be entertaining. And if I ever actually relax… well, then this truly will be a holiday miracle.

Sasco's Stunning Suites Await: Your Blackpool Getaway... or Utter Mayhem? (Let's Find Out!)
Alright, alright, alright... you're thinking of Blackpool, huh? Fancy. And Sasco's? Even fancier. But are these "Stunning Suites" really all they're cracked up to be? Buckle up, buttercup, because I'm about to spill the tea... and maybe some digestive biscuits.
So, are these apartments actually... luxurious? I mean, it IS Blackpool.
Okay, let's be real. Blackpool has... a reputation. Think kiss-me-quick hats, dodgy arcades, and seagull battles for the prize of a half-eaten chip. Luxury? In Blackpool? Hmm.
Sasco's? They *try*. They REALLY try. Think sleek, modern interiors, maybe a balcony overlooking the sea (if you're lucky), and a kitchen that doesn't look like it was furnished by a charity shop. I stayed in the 'Skyline Suite' once (bragging rights, baby!). The initial impression? Wow. Genuinely wow. But then... the details. The devil, as they say, is in the details.
Anecdote time: The first morning, I made coffee. Bliss! Until... the coffee machine decided to stage a dramatic leak, soaking the entire countertop. Spent the next hour desperately trying to soak it up with the provided (admittedly very fluffy) towels while muttering under my breath. Luxury, huh? More like 'Luxury with a side of minor disaster and a healthy dose of panic.' But hey, at least the towels *were* fluffy!
Verdict: They aim high, but sometimes the execution wobbles. It's luxurious-ish. Think upscale-ish, but with a Blackpool-sized dose of… character. (Which, depending on your perspective, could be a good thing!)
Location, location, location! Where are these apartments? Are they near the pier, or are you walking for a week?
The location is… variable. They're not all clustered together, which is good and bad. Some are slap-bang in the middle of the action, ideal for those who thrive on the constant hum of chaos and the smell of frying onions. Others are a bit further out, which offers a bit more peace… but also a longer walk to the golden sands (and the aforementioned onion-frying).
Rambling thought: I remember one place I stayed (I won’t name names… but it started with an ‘S’…) was advertised as “a stone's throw from the Pleasure Beach.” Turns out, my idea of a "stone's throw" is very different from theirs. More like, a REALLY hefty boulder chucked with Olympian force. I spent most of the holiday developing calves of steel.
So, do your research! Check the exact address! Don't be lured in by promises of proximity. Verify! Verify! Verify! Trust me, your feet (and your sanity) will thank you.
What's the deal with the parking? Is it actually available, or is it a constant battle for a space?
Ah, parking. The bane of every Blackpool visitor's existence. It's a warzone out there, a brutal battle for a precious piece of tarmac. Sasco's promises parking, but… this is Blackpool, remember? Promises are often made to be broken, or at least, stretched to their absolute limit.
Emotional reaction alert: I'm filled with a cold dread just thinking about it! I once spent a solid hour circling a block, desperately searching for a parking space. The seagulls were taunting me, the sun was beating down, and I could feel my blood pressure rising with every passing minute. When I finally found a spot, it was so small I had to practically fold my car in half to fit it in. It was a traumatic experience.
My advice: Check. Absolutely, positively CHECK the parking situation BEFORE you book. If possible, aim for an apartment with its own dedicated space. Otherwise, prepare for parking Armageddon. And bring a strong dose of patience. You'll need it.
How's the Wi-Fi? Because, let's be honest, we need to document EVERYTHING.
Wi-Fi. The lifeline of the modern traveler. And in Blackpool? It can be… patchy. Sasco's generally provides Wi-Fi, but don't expect lightning-fast speeds. You're not exactly going to be streaming 4K movies.
Quirky observation: I swear, the Wi-Fi in one place I stayed seemed to slow down dramatically whenever someone tried to use the microwave. Coincidence? Maybe. But I have my suspicions. It was like, the ghost of a grumpy electrician was haunting the router... and it was only able to function with the absence of a microwave.
Overall: Expect basic Wi-Fi. Enough to check your emails, upload a few blurry Instagram photos, and generally stay connected without losing your mind. Consider yourself warned, and make sure to download that important film before you arrive, just in case.
Okay, but what about the cleanliness? Are these places actually... clean?
Cleanliness is KEY, people! Nobody wants to spend their holiday scrubbing… unless, you know, you’re *into* that sort of thing. I'm not. Sasco's, from my experience, tries to keep things ship-shape. They generally have a housekeeping team to ensure the apartments are in decent nick.
Humourous Imperfection: BUT, and it's a big but... I've had a few… let's call them *interesting* experiences. One time, found a rather enthusiastic family of dust bunnies living under the sofa in the living room. Another time… let's just say I'm pretty sure the previous guests enjoyed the wine a little *too* much and left the evidence on the carpet (which, thankfully, was cleaned before the next guests arrived.)
Bottom line: Generally good, but don’t expect pristine, hospital-grade cleanliness. It's a high-traffic holiday destination, things happen. Bring some wipes (just in case), and embrace the occasional minor imperfection as part of the Blackpool charm.
Is it worth the price? Because these apartments ain't cheap!
Ah, the million-dollar question! Are Sasco's Stunning Suites worth the money? That depends! Are you looking for a good, comfortable base and a luxury experience to write home about? Then it can be expensive. But, if you’re thinking about all the other accommodation options in Blackpool, from faded B&Bs to hostel bunks, then Sasco's can feel almost *reasonable*.
Honest Assessment: You're paying for a higher standard of accommodation than you'd get elsewhere. You're paying for the design and the "newness" of it all. You're paying for the *potential* of a genuinely relaxing break. And you're paying for a prime location (hopefully!). But you're also paying for the Blackpool tax.
Final Verdict? It's a splurge. But if you want a decent place to stay, and you're willing to embrace the occasional hiccup, Sasco's canHotel Adventure
