Village Club Domaine de l'Espagnac

Simply the best camp site we have stayed at for a large family holiday. It's well laid out, with plenty of mediteranean trees and greenery. About 5 minutes drive from the local airport, but we didn't notice any noise from the aircraft. The swimming pools were excellent, as was the lagoon. Getting the children out of the water was a challenge every day, as they were having so much fun. While the choice of restaurants is limited, the food quality and service was good and the prices were reasonable. We stayed in a chalet with 4 bedrooms, 2 toilets & 2 shower rooms. Just about right for a family stay with 4 children, parents and grandparents. The outside decking area with small BBQ grill was a relaxing spot for alfresco meals and chatting in the evenings over a glass or two of local wine. We found all the staff really welcoming, warm and helpful. I particularly enjoyed my early visit to the on-site boulangerie each day, where the friendly interaction with those serving customers was an outstanding part of my morning. We would definitely like to stay here again.

This is the second time we have returned to this holiday site. Overall we had a really good time especially the children who loved the pools and the slides! The accomadation is of a very high standard. We stayed in a premium cottage Taos which was modern, very clean and have lots of clever storage. All of the pool areas are very clean and well maintained. There is a reasonable choice of restaurants (grill, pizza, burger and Vietnamese as well as sweet shops and an onsite shop). However there were a few things that disappointed me. Firstly the noise in the evening. Whilst I understand this site is sandaya ‘club’ rather than ‘chill’, the noise in the evening can be excessive from the entertainment. Last year I put this down to our choice of accommodation which was directly behind the entertainment but this year we were much further away. With one night going on to 12.30am with thumping club music, it does not make for a relaxing stay. We also found our gas plancha grill not to be working and on another day lack of cold water and inability to light the cooker. It turned out that this was due to the need to replace the gas canister. The maintenance man came very quickly to resolve. However we had no idea on both occasions the reason why we had a problem and it’s not a great experience on holiday when you are in the middle of preparing a meal or have a shower and you have no idea why things are not working, wasting time trying to make something work which of course couldn’t had we known the actual reason. I feel this could have been pointed out upfront. Other main disappointment was that we were under the understanding that cleaning was part of the premium accommodation included in cost but it turned out that this does not include kitchen (kitchen and fridge had to be cleaned) and all the beds needed to be stripped before departure. Animation and kids disco was good but quality seemed to be changeable from night to night. Great padel facilities. Overall enjoyed our stay but room for improvement

It was a lot of fun, but a pity that the Olympic swimming pool was closed. We also missed the beds next to the pool, this is only at the end of this month. We did not know this when booking. I would definitely book later next time. beach is too cold and small pool very busy. Olympic swimming pool is more relax. staff and activities are good

We stayed here following a recommendation from a friend who spoke highly about the facilities and the evening entertainment. We stayed in our motorhome opposed to the chalets and the pitch was a decent size and the individual bathroom and washing up facilities specific to you were really helpful. Access from the camping site to the main facilities was just a 2 minute walk. The beach/lagoon and pool areas are the main attraction at this site, in particularly the lagoon which is really picturesque. Where this site let's itself down is the service from staff. I read several reviews that their English wasn't great and thought "why should it be, I am in France after all?!" Whenever we go overseas we always try to make an effort to converse in the native language and 99% of the time there is a level of respect between everyone for the efforts made and we get there!.... Not here...... The staff at all of the food outlets have little or no time for those that don't speak French. They are rude, arrogant and despite you paying prices more akin to a 5* resort in Dubai, they make even asking for a napkin a massive chore, flailing their arms and shrugging their shoulders at the mere request. In particular the gentleman at the bakery seems insistent on belittling those that don't speak French, even when my wife was trying to order 4 items with the equivalent cost to a small family car, He seemed insistent on making an example of her in front of the queue to the point she was visably upset. In summary, the good facilities are completely overshadowed by rude and arrogant staff with little or no ability to offer any form of customer service. I only good experience was at the check in at the very beginning of the holiday. Combine this with massively overinflated prices (which we were willing to overlook intially) I would not recommend this site. Mange tut Rodney, Mange Tut.
