What is the Haven play pass?
A Haven Hideaway includes accommodation, restaurants, takeaways and arcades, whereas a Haven Holiday includes all of the above and the Haven Play Pass, which allows you entry to Haven entertainment venues and pools, as well as the ability to book activities. If you’ve booked directly with a private owner and you want to make avail of the entertainment or facilities you’ll need to purchase a separate play pass. Visit haven.com/play-pass 4 weeks before arrival to purchase your Play Passes.
