We loved the facilities
We extended our stay, we moved mobile and the mobile we moved to was not cleaned properly. There were ants all over two of the beds, all over the kitchen counters and hundreds all up the walls in the kitchen
Our first mobile L05 was lovely and no issues for the week
We extended our stay and moved to 164 it was dirty, crawling with hundreds of ants and the shower room stank of a sewer smell

Overall we had and excellent family holiday and will return. So many activities to choose from, evening entertainment was excellent and staff friendly.
Bamboo restaurant needs a new chef. Very disappointing first meal on our first night. Cold raw chicken nuggets that had to be returned and a handful of left over chips came with the burger meal. 4 prawns in the curry. Value and quality of meals very poor. Such a shame as its a lovely setting for a restaurant but we didn't return
Our first time here and would choose different accommodation next time. We like the area it was in and felt safe knowing there's no cars allowed.
The toilet next to the eating area with no sink in it to wash hands, and having to walk across and touch door handles etc with dirty hands is unhygienic. The table in the indoor setting area is far too big and had to climb over the chair to get on seat or pull out the table all the time. I think at least sheets should be supplied within the cost of the accommodation

The accommodation is nice, the water park and pools are great.
Some staff were very rude. The prices have increased hugely since last year. The food options are somewhat limited. For example the beach bar stops serving food for a good portion of the day and does not have pizza on the menu and you can't bring the pizza from the other restaurant into the beach bar. My children don't each nuggets or burgers and that's all that the beach bar offers.
Clean, the bbq is good and the lounge chairs on the terrace.
No kettle, toaster or oven. These are basics.

Something to cater for everyone’s needs!!
A toaster in the accommodation would be great.
Loads of storage!
Broken cup and glass. No hand towel or tea towels provided. Grass outside balcony lots of weeds & roots sticking up (trip / fall risk)

The actitivies, pools and slides were enjoyed by all from the children to the adults. Hippocampes pedestrianised setup wad great for the kids ages 4, 6&8. The sites themselves were well maintained and the staff were lovely.
The lodge was great
The king sized bed in the master bedroom was slightly too big for the room. While it would have been preferable to be able to fold the kitchen table away to make more space inside

Plenty of activities for all ages, accomodation perfect, all aminities within easy reach.
Wi-Fi signal poor in L'Hippocampe.
Plenty of room for two adults, daughter's family accomodadion 20m away across the path.

Was with a big family group. Plenty for all ages.
Pillows were awful. No comfort- more like cushions. Each accommodation should have an iron.
Comfortable with lovely seating area
Pillows!!!

Very impressed with the entire site. Stayed on hippocampe side of the complex. Very safe for kids and adults alike. Loved the pool set up at both camps.
A lot of vehicles on the La Sirene camp. Felt a little uneasy with you kids moving around with the cars
Basic accommodation but it had everything we needed. We weren’t supplied with a kettle but we managed anyway. It was comfortable and clean and well laid out.
WiFi never worked.

Mobile layout, water park facilities in la Sirene, sports facilities on hippo camp.
Outside area at our mobile home no privacy.
Layout of accommodation
Outside terrace would be better if raised and some privacy

This is our 3rd year in a row in this campsite. Our kids are 14, 9 and 4. And there is something for all of them to enjoy day and night. We are looking forward to returning next year.
Perfect for family if 5/6. Clean and confortable
Would like bigger pillows

I enjoyed the Hippocampe pools and some of the staff were lovely. Also, I enjoyed having a grill to cook on.
Air conditioner was useless. The beds were very uncomfortable. Security mocked me when I complained of our neighbours partying until 2AM. I can't believe I paid my own money to feel uncomfortable and miserable for 2 weeks.
It had USB outlets to charge our devices.
I disliked almost everything about this unit. It was not as advertised. The beds were awful, the air conditioner barely did anything, the pillows were better left on the couch as we couldn't use them to sleep. It was extremely noisy from other neighbours and the late night entertainment. I think I slept 8 hours every 3 days.

The pools were amazing. Place is spot, clean and tidy
Main bin area bins very full a lot of the time
Clean
Space I. Bedrooms small but manageable

Lots of fun water slides for children . Everything you need on site
Staff in the beach bar were quite rude and cranky ! Not all of them but a lot. Animation are more for adults I think more interactive kids shows would be better .
Accommodation was very good . All thing worked well and spacious and new .
We arrived no sheets so slept with no bedsheets first night . Poor communication with cleaning people as also no baby stuff there . Pillows are not comfy at all

We have now been three times and loved it every time. This one was our best holiday yet. We loved our Lodge (number 1) and found it peaceful and quiet despite being easily accessible. The new swimming areas at La Sirène are amazing. And the food and drink continue to be excellent.
None at all
The decked area outside was brilliant and it was so quiet and tucked away despite being so close to everything. Very comfortable accommodation and well arranged.
No.

This was our third time here it is an amazing site and everything is really well thought out. Staff are all really friendly and it is safe for small children
We did miss the petit train this year a shuttle to argeles would be useful
Private really well maintained and a peaceful location
A toaster would be useful

Accommodation was good, nice size pitches. Pool area in both sites are fantastic, kids and adults loved it. The heated pools are great. Slides and pool activities for all ages. Make use of the activities provided. Very safe with no cars. Food nice, lovely bakery, shop has most of what you need. The shows are very good, very good productions. Sports area and park is great plenty to do for everyone. Kids club was great our children wanted to go back each morning.
The one big thing we missed and most of the people we spoke to said the same, it's really missing some children entertainment like a disco before the shows. Some of the shows are more geared towards adults so it would be great if the children got their little disco for half hour before the show.
Lovely area, nice sized pitch. Accommodation had plenty of dinnerware. Was clean enough.
Would be nice to have a toaster and hairdryer.

Very modern compact accommodation exactly everything what you need for family with two kids!!!

The site was very pretty. On the first few days was nice and quiet. But became extremely busy. The recycling of rubbish could be improved as apart from bottles it’s not clear what to do with the rest. Sanding and sylzvie were v helpful with a lost wallet situation, going above and beyond what we could hope/expect so thank you. Check out a bit unclear but all went well in the end
Clearer signs for the recycling
Sharper knives for food prep, but I guess they would disappear. More absorbent bath mats and 1 for each bathroom
The bath mat A quite unpleasant lady on duty in the pool area. Rules are meant to be adhered to but she was fierce. We were kicked out of the pool at 18.45 but the pool didn’t close til 19.00. Extend pool time when the site is at capacity
