I've seen a few places here and there that this hotel will only be accessible to residents of the hotel only, now comparing this to current procedures they have in place where guests can hop from hotel to hotel for entertainment/food/lesuirely stroll I can't help but wonder how they would enforce this as they can't exactly have door men a time the door :lol anyone else heard much of this or get any ideas?

Key card doors are a wonderful way of keeping non residents out of the hotel. I imagine they'll have hosts during peak times to greet guests as they do in ATH.
The hotel needs to be residents only due to its very nature. It would be uncomfortable for all if a random adult guest is sitting in the hotel without any children and no residency. It's a safeguarding nightmare otherwise.

I wouldn't have said that the Enchanted Village will suffer from the opening of the Cebeebies Land Hotel mainly because they cater for different markets and age ranges. If anything, I think that Cebeebies Land Hotel will steal more guests from Splash Landings Hotel than Enchanted Village.
I think as long as the spa is isolated enough from Cebeebies Land Hotel, I would say it is actually a good thing that is is situated in between both hotels.

Birmingham Mail have been allowed a sneak peak inside ahead of the opening next month. They need to get a move on, still seems a fair bit to do.

I've been on resort for the last couple days, and I've noticed some construction of the signage at the entrance of the hotel, I haven't seen it spoken about yet so I took a picture to share with you guys.
Not the best view as you can't get that close to it due to the gate restrictions. But you can see that the rainbow arch being applied by a frequently used company "Mercury Phillips Signs".

I imagine it's a great menu for the childeren, but god help their parents! That is looking like an extremely limited food choice for adults! All the food choices sound fairly basic... I can see the reason for doing it all this way, but they have to remember people won't want do dine in a school canteen!

Should we talk about the price of this place? Because its quite expensive.
I did some research and based on a 1 night stay with 2 adults and 2 children sharing, it comes to a whopping £450!
You could get a lodge for nearly £150 less!
All I can say is I feel incredibly sorry for all parents that take their kids here, not cheap, screaming kids everywhere and probably having to listen to incredibly annoying songs, leaving you with a headache. But it must be worse for the people that will work there.....
Hopefully this is the last type of accommodation the park puts in, because its getting kinda ridiculous now....

I did have a quick look today at the prices and it seemed to be within £50 of ATHtheparklifekid wrote:Should we talk about the price of this place? Because its quite expensive.

I had a tour of the hotel this weekend, and I must say I'm impressed! It's definite going to be popular, and I get the feeling it's going to be sold out (maybe just the standard rooms) at peak times.
The ambient music is IMAscore so it's not as relentless as say all the CBeebies theme songs back-to-back!

Looking at pictures online from over the weekend it does look like it's been done to an incredibly high standard! The small details and focus on the target demographic will be the biggest selling point for parents, even if they do need to take out a loan beforehand!

TowersTimes News now has a comprehensive review of the CBeebies Land Hotel following our visit on Saturday. The hotel is incredibly impressive with a very high standard of theming, extensive entertainment programme, and lots of little touches throughout which shows just how much thought has gone into every last aspect of the accommodation. Below are a few images from Saturday with more available in the article.
