Blackpool's BEST Kept Secret: Luxury Apartments at DYSA Banks!

Blackpool's BEST Kept Secret: DYSA Banks - Or, My Love/Hate Letter to Luxury (and Blackpool)

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to spill the (very expensive) tea on Blackpool's "BEST Kept Secret": DYSA Banks Luxury Apartments. And let me tell you, it's a secret worth sharing, and maybe one you'll want to keep for yourself. I’m going to level with you, this isn't your average Blackpool B&B review. This is a full-blown, slightly-unhinged, deeply-opinionated dive into the world of luxury apartments perched, surprisingly, on the edge of Britain's most… well, let's call it "vibrant" seaside town.

First things first: Accessibility and "Stuff That Actually Matters"

Right, before we get carried away with fluffy robes and pool views (which, spoiler alert, are gorgeous), let's talk real-world stuff. Accessibility is crucial. I'm happy to report that DYSA Banks has seriously considered this. They have facilities for disabled guests, which is fantastic, although specific details on exactly which facilities are accessible would have been a plus. Elevator? Yes! Praise the Blackpool gods!

Cleanliness and Safety - The New Normal (and Hopefully Not Short-Lived!)

Okay, COVID. We've all been there. DYSA Banks seems to take this seriously, thankfully. Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, and rooms sanitized between stays are vital. They've also got that hand sanitizer dotted around, which is good. The staff are trained in safety protocol, which is reassuring. They offer room sanitization opt-out available, which is a nice option if you're sensitive. Cashless payment service? Check. Safe dining setup? Apparently, yes. All excellent, necessary stuff. Shared stationery removed is a detail even I noticed, so kudos to the place.

Internet: Connected (Thankfully) - But Let's Not Get Too Excited

Let's be honest, in 2024, good internet is practically a human right. Internet access – LAN is available… for the old-schoolers? But, and this is important: Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! HALLELUJAH! Wi-Fi in public areas too. I mean, it’s Blackpool, you’re not going to Disneyland. But I needed to check emails, and stream some… ahem… "research" (documentaries about roller coasters, obviously) so, yeah, crucial.

The Room: Plush, Polished, and… Surprisingly Quiet

Okay, let's get to the nitty-gritty. The rooms are beautiful. Like, actually beautiful. They're luxury apartments. They deliver. Think air conditioning, blackout curtains (thank the heavens!), a desk (I could actually work!), and a seating area that’s big enough to swing a cat (though, thankfully, no cats were harmed in the making of this review). Extra long bed? Absolutely. Heaven after a day on the Pleasure Beach. Bathrobes and slippers? Naturally. Free bottled water? The little things. Coffee/tea maker? Essential for a caffeine addict like myself. They've thought of almost everything, and the soundproofing is a godsend. You can actually hear your own thoughts, which is a rare luxury in a bustling seaside town. Plus, the non-smoking rooms are a gift from up above.

However, a slightly off-putting detail? The bathroom phone. Seriously, who needs a phone in the bathroom? I mean, I suppose if you fancy a chat while you soak, go for it. But I personally think it's a little bit… extra.

Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: A Whirlwind of Choices (and Maybe a Few Regrets)

Okay, this is where things get interesting. DYSA Banks has a whole host of options. Restaurants (plural!) a bar, coffee shop, and a snack bar! They offer room service [24-hour], which is dangerous but tempting. They do Breakfast [buffet], offering Asian breakfast, Western breakfast, and buffet in restaurant options, so you're sorted whatever your flavour. A la carte in restaurant too – I can't comment on it, didn't try. The poolside bar is a nice touch and a solid place to unwind. They've got happy hour, too, which is always a bonus.

The downside? The sheer amount of choice can be overwhelming, especially after a few too many cheeky cocktails. I ended up ordering a pizza to my room at 2 am. Don’t judge me. It was delicious.

Things to Do & Ways to Relax: The “Spa Experience” (Cue Dramatic Music)

Here’s where DYSA Banks truly shines. Swimming pool [outdoor] with a Pool with view is pure bliss. The Spa options they offer sound incredible, it’s all a bit much, I have to admit – Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath, Massage, Sauna, Spa/sauna, Steamroom. I'm a sucker for a good spa day, I will admit. I spent a good chunk of my time here.

Now, let me tell you a story…

I went for a massage. Or, I tried to go for a massage. I got completely lost, and ended up wandering for a solid 10 minutes, muttering about how pretentious the layout was. Eventually, I found the spa. The massage itself was… divine. Absolutely worth the existential journey to find it. Best Swedish massage I’ve had in YEARS. Absolutely top-notch. It completely erased the memory of Blackpool’s blustery winds and the slightly unsettling plastic seagulls.

Services and Conveniences: Plenty of Perks (and the Occasional Fumble)

Lots of extras. Concierge, daily housekeeping, laundry service, dry cleaning, meeting/banquet facilities… the works. Cash withdrawal available. Babysitting service offered – if you need it. Car park [free of charge] – very helpful, unless you’re me… then you'll probably forget where you’ve parked. They also offer car power charging stations. One major peeve? The luggage storage was in the most inconvenient location, but it's a minor detail - mostly.

For the Kids: Family-Friendly But…

Family/child friendly, with kids facilities and a babysitting service. Looks good, but I can't really comment as I don't have kids

Getting Around: Blackpool’s Public Transport (and the Importance of a Taxi)

Airport transfer offered, so if you're flying into Blackpool… well, good luck. But more seriously: Car park [on-site] is a winner, which is essential. They offer taxi service, too, which is highly recommended.

My Ultimate Verdict: Is DYSA Banks Worth It?

Look, here’s the deal. Blackpool is… Blackpool. It’s bonkers, it’s loud, it’s a bit, ahem, rough around the edges. But DYSA Banks is an oasis. It’s a small slice of luxury, a haven from the general chaos. It’s not perfect (the slightly convoluted layout, the occasional over-the-top detail), but it's darn close.

Here’s My Imperfectly Honest Recommendation:

Go. Treat yourself. Book it. But do your research beforehand, be as prepared as you can be, and don’t expect perfection. And if you see a slightly frazzled person wandering around looking for the spa, muttering about plastic seagulls, well… that might be me.

(Disclaimer: This review is based on a single stay, and my opinion may have been influenced by a particularly delicious pizza and one exceptionally good massage. But hey, that's the beauty of travel, isn't it?)

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your sanitized travel brochure itinerary. We're diving headfirst into the glorious, messy chaos that is… Blackpool. And specifically, DYSA Banks Apartments. God help us all.

Blackpool Blitz: A Chronicle of Chaos (and Maybe Some Fun?) - Hosted by Your Narrator, a Slightly Jittery Traveler

Day 1: Arrival and the Grand Illusion of Organization

• 14:00: Touchdown Blackpool. Or more accurately, a grimy train station where I'm pretty sure a pigeon just eyeballed my sandwich with malicious intent. The DYSA Banks Apartments are, according to the pre-trip research (aka, a frantic Google search last night fueled by instant coffee and existential dread), a mere hop, skip, and a frantic cab ride away.
• 14:45: Cab ride negotiations. The driver, a man whose accent could curdle milk, seems to think "DYSA Banks" is a secret code. Finally, after some pointing at a map and a muttered plea to the heavens, we're on our way.
• 15:15: Arrival at DYSA Banks. First impressions? Let's just say the exterior doesn't quite match the photos. More "slightly weathered" than "charming." But hey, I'm here for the experience right? (Please say yes, I have a whole week.)
• 15:30: Check-in. The woman at the reception is… well, she's seen things. Probably Blackpool things. She hands me a key that looks suspiciously like it belongs to a prison cell and a map of the local chip shops (priorities, people, priorities).
• 16:00: Unpacking and Internal Panic. The apartment is… cozy. And by cozy, I mean the kind of cozy where you can hear the neighbors arguing about whether to put the kettle on. Ah, the romance! I'm already questioning all my life choices. But hey, it's got a view of… something. Probably a car park. I'll call it "character."
• 17:00: The first foray. I gather myself like a hero facing a fiery dragon and venture forth to explore the immediate vicinity. I need food. DESPERATELY. My stomach is communicating through a series of loud, rhythmic grumbles.
• 17:30: Chip shop reconnaissance! Spotted a chippy. Must. Consume. Crispy. Potatoes. The smell alone almost sends me into a bliss coma. Ordered a huge portion and a battered sausage. Glory. The salt on my hands, the scent of vinegar… this is living, dammit!
• 18:00: Sinking into a food coma on a bench, people watching. The whole vibe is a glorious mix of families, hen parties, and lost souls, all bathed in the glorious glare of neon. Blackpool is already showing me more character than a Dickens novel.
• 19:30: Back to the apartment, feeling full and content. Now, I realize there is a huge draft coming through the only window of the living room. Time to make a call to the reception. Wish me luck!

Day 2: Seaside Showdowns (and Possibly Regret)

• 09:00: Wake up. The draft is still there. I put some sticky tape on the window to try and fix it. I realize I didn't pack that one thing I should have. Ahh, the joys of leaving things until the very last minute!
• 10:00: The beach! Sunscreen applied (finally!), and off to the sandy shores of Blackpool. The tide is in, and the sea air practically slaps you in the face. It's invigorating. And cold. Bloody freezing, actually. I instantly regret not wearing my rain jacket.
• 11:00: Attempt to build a sandcastle. It collapses instantly. My self-esteem, however, has already cratered. I blame the sand. It's clearly structurally unsound.
• 11:30: Wandering down the pier. Arcade games calling my name, but also warning me that I'll spend the next hour and a bunch of money on useless plastic toys. The pier is where Blackpool truly shines – the faded glamour, the insistent hawkers, the joyous cacophony of noise. It's glorious chaos.
• 12:30: The Tower! I can't come to Blackpool and not see the Tower, can I? The view from the top is… well, it’s a view. And I'm a little terrified of heights. But the architecture is truly something.
• 14:00: The Tower Ballroom! Afternoon tea! The music is loud, and I feel utterly out of place. A sea of couples waltzing around the dance floor. I get this insane urge to join in.
• 15:00: Realization dawns. I'm still damp from being on the beach and can't dance. Back to the apartment to dry off.
• 16:00: I'm starting to get the hang of it. The flat window is still a pain, I call reception and arrange for a handyman to come and fix it.
• 18:00: The bar, on the end of the pier. A pint, some chips and fish. Life doesn't suck.

Day 3: Lights, Camera, Action (and Minor Meltdowns)

• 09:00: The handyman came, the window is fixed! I have to say, the service in this apartment is worth the money.
• 10:00: Okay, today is the Grand Theatre. I love theatre.
• 12:00: The walk along the seaside is pleasant, the sea air is good for the soul.
• 14:00: Matinee theatre, I love it!
• 17:00: Back to the apartment. A sandwich and a nice sit down.
• 18:00: I start preparing for a night out on the town.

Day 4: The Deep End (Literally and Figuratively)

• 09:00 I woke up early, the sea air has definitely got to me!
• 10:30: Blackpool Zoo! The animals, are nice. The kids are chaotic.
• 13:00: Lunch and a sit down
• 14:00: My head hurts
• 15:00: I've had enough chaos for one day.
• 16:00: Back to the apartment, I'm exhausted..

[… Days 5-7: A Blur of Fish & Chips, Arcades, and… Well, You Get the Idea]

• Highlights: More chip shops, more pier, a disastrous attempt at karaoke (I think I offended everyone within a five-mile radius). Found a little hidden gem of a bar. Actually had a decent conversation with someone who wasn't trying to sell me something.
• Lowlights: The pigeons, the draft, the constant feeling I'm forgetting something vital, and this one particular arcade game that stole a fiver from me.
• Recurring Theme: The constant, nagging feeling that I should be experiencing something more "meaningful," but then remembering that sometimes, just existing in a place like Blackpool is meaningful enough.

Day 8: Departure (and Sudden, Unexpected Nostalgia)

• 08:00: Packing up the apartment.
• 09:00: Final chip shop run. Gotta get that last fix.
• 10:00: One last walk along the promenade. The sun is shining. The sea is a shimmering blue. And suddenly, I'm almost… sad to leave.
• 11:00: The train. Watching Blackpool recede into the distance.
• 12:00 I'm pretty sure I'll be back.

So there you have it. Blackpool. DYSA Banks Apartments. A week of chaos, questionable food choices, and unexpected moments of joy. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. But pack your sense of humor, your earplugs (for the karaoke), and maybe a really good window patch.

And if you see a particularly disgruntled pigeon, tell him I said hello.

Blackpool's "Secret" Luxury: DYSA Banks Apartments... or is it? (Let's Get Real)

Okay, spill the beans. What *actually* is DYSA Banks? Because "luxury apartments" in Blackpool... raises eyebrows, doesn't it?

Alright, alright, settle down. Honestly? My first thought was, "Luxury in Blackpool? Are we sure it's not got a flashing neon sign shaped like a donkey and a dodgy kebab shop downstairs?" But, and this is a *big* but, DYSA Banks apartments are... surprisingly nice. Like, genuinely. We're talking plush carpets, modern kitchens, and views that don't just involve seagulls fighting over chips (although, let's be honest, those are part of the Blackpool charm, right?). It's a bit of a hidden gem, tucked away from the main drag. More on why they're 'hidden' later.

So, location, location, location! Where are they? And is it near the *good* Blackpool stuff, or… well, the rest?

Okay, location. This is where it gets interesting. They *are* located on the North Shore, so… you *are* pretty close to the hustle and bustle. But don't expect a quiet, hidden retreat. It depends on what you want. If you are looking for the "seaside vibe", the beach is *right* there. Literally a stone’s throw. The trams run past, so you might hear them. I once tried to sleep during a Blackpool Illuminations weekend... let's just say, earplugs are your friend. But, and listen to me on this, it beats being miles away and missing all the action. Plus, you can stumble back from the Golden Mile after a few pints without falling into the Irish Sea. Bonus.

What are the apartments themselves like? Are we talking hotel-grade luxury, or… "luxury" through a filter of slightly faded curtains?

Alright, let's get down to brass tacks. The apartments themselves? They're good. Really good. I mean, not Buckingham Palace good, but certainly a step above the dingy B&Bs I remember from childhood trips. Modern, stylish, and clean. The kitchens are properly equipped, the bathrooms are… not falling apart, which is a win. The furniture is comfortable. I remember walking in and thinking, "Wow, I could actually live here, for a week or two." Look, I’ve stayed in places where the showerhead was held together with duct tape. This ain’t that. There’s been a clear investment, but that doesn't mean there aren't small imperfections. The odd wonky drawer, a slightly faded piece of art. It's not pristine, but it's comfortable and well-maintained. And listen, you're in Blackpool. Embrace a bit of character!

Is it actually *private*? I crave peace and quiet!

Well. This is where the "hidden gem" aspect kicks in. While generally a quiet and private place to be, it's Blackpool. Even the quietest places hold the potential for excitement. My experience? Oh, the tales I have! I once spent a week there with my extended family. Sounds idyllic, right? Wrong. My crazy Aunt Susan, bless her heart, decided to set off the smoke alarm whilst trying to "fry" something at 3 AM. The apartment was quickly filled with smoke, it set off all the alarms, and the whole building was evacuated. We looked like the apocalypse happened upon us. The whole place was a chaotic mess. So, yes, it's private. Until your family descends. Or perhaps it's a quiet time of year, and you're set with a gentle calmness.

Is it good for families?

Yes, definitely. The apartments are spacious, the kitchens are useful. It's better than trying to squeeze a family into a hotel room. And the proximity to the beach and attractions is a massive win. But bear in mind it isn't a Disney resort. There's no kids’ club, nor a designated play area. It's a great base, but you are the entertainment.

What about parking? Because parking in Blackpool is famously… challenging.

Okay, parking. Brace yourselves. Blackpool and easy parking… they’re not always best friends. I'd recommend confirming the parking situation before you arrive to make sure you understand the facilities. It can vary.

The BIG question: Are they worth the money? Blackpool isn't exactly known for being cheap.

This is the golden question. Honestly? Yes, *probably*. Depends on your definition of "worth it", and on what you get. Comparing it to some other Blackpool hotels, especially the ones closer to the Tower? Absolutely. It's a bit more of an investment than a budget B&B, but the extra comfort, space, and modern amenities are worth it. It's a luxury experience that's a break from the usual Blackpool accommodation. If you can snag a deal, even better. Don't expect bargain-basement prices, but you're getting a good deal for the quality. Plus, think of all the money you save not having to eat takeaway chips at 3 AM because that's what you're supposed to do.

Anything else I should know? Like… any hidden fees or downsides?

Hidden fees? Always check the fine print for any sneaky extras. Downsides? It can be a little noisy sometimes, depending on the season. And, let's be honest, you're still in Blackpool. You can't escape the slightly-faded seaside charm completely. I mean… there’s a reason they call it the Illuminations, right?

So, the verdict? Would you recommend DYSA Banks?

Yeah. I would. If you're looking for a Blackpool break with a bit of class, away from the usual cheap hotels, then DYSA Banks is a good shout. It’s a comfortable, well-located base for exploring the delights (and the occasional… *quirks*) of Blackpool. Just, you know, pack earplugs, check for Aunt Susan before you move in, and prepare to embrace the Blackpool experience. And maybe bring your own coffee. Just in case.
