I know, I know, Blackpool is perceived as fish'n'chips, bucket and spades, amusement arcades, B&B's. What about something different?
Choice Hotels in Blackpool run 3 hotels - The Claremont (near the North Pier), the Talk of The North (near South Pier) and the CliffsHotel (North Promenade just up from Gynn Square).
My family and I have stayed at the CliffsHotel on 6 occasions, ranging from weekend breaks to full weeks. Why? The hotel is large and well appointed - it has a 1920's feel about the facade and interior and is very clean and spacios. There are 5 bars and a large resturant. The food is excellent with a very good selection - the staff are very helpful and friendly.
There is a well appointed leisure club - free to residents. It has a pool, jacuzzi, small but very good gym, sauna, sunbeds and a leisure club bar. It ...

This place is simply the best hotel and holiday I have ever, ever had. Now I could leave it at that but I expect you want a bit more information to as why?
The Riu Club HotelNegril (also refferred to as Riu Negril) is all inclusive so you don't need to worry about paying while away.

There's lots of activities to do (gym, tennis, horse riding, watersports, etc), or you can just be lazy! There's entertainment on every night, but you're not forced into joining in - the beach party was a good laugh, though! Some trips are included - a sunset catamaran cruise, trip to the Pickled Parrot for cliff jumping - and others. We paid to do a trip down the Black River to see crocodiles, which was amazing. We also got a visit to the YS Falls included in that trip, which was pretty spectacular (though not as spectacular as Dunns River Falls, which we went to from Couples Ocho Rios - you can pay to visit it from Couples Negril, but its free from Ocho Rios).
All in all we had a fantastic time at Couples Negril and didn't want to leave to go to Ocho Rios. But it was an experience to fly in a 6-seater plane - just us ...
