Helpful Hints & Tips
Activities
To see what activities are on and to pre-book before your holiday, please visit the My Haven Experience app or haven.com/experience four weeks before your arrival date. You can also book activities at the Activity Booking Point on park during your stay, subject to availability. If you want to book activities for your arrival day, please make sure bookings are made for after your arrival time or they may be cancelled. You can book your arrival day activities on the My Haven Experience app or haven.com/experience 7 days before your arrival date.
Activities are only available to our Holiday guests, Private Let guests who have purchased a Play Pass and our owners. Please bring your Play Pass or Privilege Card with you. We reserve the right to refuse access if you cannot show a valid pass or card.
Arrival
Please see the My Haven Experience app or haven.com/experience 7 days before arrival for your allocated check-in time.
Arriving late: please let us know on the My Haven Experience app or haven.com/experience when you get your allocated arrival time. We will then know to expect you later.
Barbecues
Get your sizzle on in safety. Please keep barbecues away from holiday homes, verandas and the external gas bottles. They must also be elevated and please use a non-disposable barbecue. Be sure that they’re completely put out before you leave them.
Bars and restaurants
We have three venues for wining or dining: our Quayside Café Bar and the Live Lounge entertainment venue, home to our Entertainment Cast, the Seaside Squad, and live acts. Both venues are in the main complex, behind Reception. You can pre-book a restaurant table on the My Haven app or via haven.com/experience, four weeks before your holiday or by visiting the restaurant once on park. There will be no table bookings in entertainment venues and tables will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Beach access
The nearest beach access is by the seal sanctuary, opposite the park; come out of the main entrance and turn left; at the end of the road, turn right on the corner, and you’ll come to The Ferry Boat Inn. Head down the side of the inn, and hit the sand!
Buses
The bus stops are opposite the park, on the other side of the road, the number 15 takes you into Mablethorpe. If you need information on local bus routes, please see the Reception team.
Car parking
Our grassy areas are important to us. Please avoid parking on them and use the dedicated space next to, or near your holiday accommodation. Please also be considerate of your neighbours too. We have Blue Badge spaces in the main complex for those who need them.
Cashless Arcade
Our amusement arcade is mainly cashless. You'll need to purchase a Playcard from the Playcard Kiosk or Prize Shop, top up the card and tap it on the card readers to play. Don’t forget to register your card in case you lose it! If you do lose your card, speak to a member of our friendly team in the kiosk or prize shop and they will cancel your card and will replace it with a new one with any remaining credit and awards. We have 2p and 10p coin pushers for coins and, on request, we can convert 20p, 50p and £1 coins to money on a card if you want to use other games within the arcade. Any credit and awards not used can be saved for your next visit to Golden Sands – no refunds will be given
Cash machines
Our cash machines are inside the arcade and next to the launderette. Cashback is available in our Mini Market and all bar areas (minimum spend applies).
Checking out
All good things come to an end – please check out by 10am and return any keys or hired items to Reception. If you need to leave early doors, you can drop your keys off with Security at the gate on departure.
Child safety
We can’t give you eyes in the back of your head, but we can give you a brightly coloured wristband for little ones, in case they wander off. Come and see us at Reception and we’ll add your contact details to it.
Dogs
We’re fond of dogs on park and most breeds are welcome, just keep them on a lead at all times. Guide and service dogs are welcome inside our venues. We have a large dog-walking area on the park, and also direct access to a dog-friendly beach. We have bins around the park for cleaning up after your pet.
Driving
We’re strict about speed on park. Please stick to 10mph when you’re driving around.
Electric vehicle (EV) charging points
Unfortunately, we do not provide this service. The nearest point is Tesco in Mablethorpe.
Emergencies
If you have an emergency, please call 999 and then our Reception and Security teams. This way we can direct them straight to you and come to your aid while you wait. If it’s not an emergency but you’d still like help, please call our Reception on 01507 477871 or our Security team on 07714 836981 as we have trained first-aiders on the park. Out-of-hours, please call our Security team.

Hire goods
For a small charge, we have to hire: bed guards, highchairs, pushchairs, travel cots and irons, subject to availability and a £10 deposit for each hire good item.

Please leave your hire goods in your accommodation on departure and your deposit will be refunded to the same card used to make the payment.

Launderette
If you’ve had a big adventure, you might need a washing machine to clean you up again. Pop into our Mini Market where you can buy tokens for the launderette, as well as washing powder.
Lost property
If you’ve mislaid a pair of swimming trunks, or Ted the Bear has gone missing, pop into Reception and we’ll see if someone has handed them in for you. We keep all lost property for 14 days, so you have plenty of time to check.
Maintenance
We want your holiday to be tip-top. If you find any niggles when you arrive, please tell us straight away. Let us know if you don’t want a team member to come in if you’re not there, and please tell us if you have any dogs in your accommodation as we won’t be able to come in without you.

Play Passes
If you're on a Haven holiday break, Play Passes give you access to book activities, pools and entertainment venues, subject to availability. Play Passes are not included in Haven Hideaway breaks.

We know how important a postcard to nan and grandad is when you’re on holiday, so drop in any prestamped post to us at Reception, and we’ll make sure it gets off for you. Or you can use the post box outside Reception.
Prize shop

Remote controls
No luck finding the TV remote? You can operate it from the set itself. We may even have another one at Reception so it’s worth asking just in case.
Security barrier

Towels
Own up, who forgot to pack the towels? It’s okay, we provide towels (1 hand and 1 bath towel per person) in our Silver, Gold and Signature grade accommodation or you can hire some from Reception for a small charge and deposit.
Upgrades
You will need to arrange any upgrade prior to receiving your arrival time. Please contact the park and they will be happy to discuss upgrade options with you.
Visitors
To maximise the opportunity for guests to access the swimming pools, activities, entertainment venue and restaurants included in their holiday package, all holidaymakers visiting our parks must be included on a valid holiday booking. Unfortunately, we don’t have the capacity on our parks to allow our guests to bring visitors to our parks.
WiFi
Due to the remoteness of our holiday parks the WiFi signal can vary. We do have free guest WiFi available in the Quayside cafe bar. There is no WiFi in accommodation. The My Haven Experience app works on Wifi and 4G, however if you do not have any signal, you can always book your activities with our Activity and Leisure team at the Activity Booking Point.
