We were pleasantly surprised on our arrival at how modern and attractive the campsite was. We simply "chilled out" for most of our stay, with visits to various attractions locally.
I can't actually think of anything!
Our pitch was flat, level with shade from trees and rather worn grass underfoot. We had no issues with the electrics, our electric grill and air fryer didn't trip them as we thought might happen
I know camping helps you get in touch with the Great Outdoors, but we were infested with little fleas, and with snails which found their way inside our Trailer Tent! The shady trees proved a mixed blessing as rainwater dripping off them left dirty marks on our tent's canvas, and birds roosting in them left deposits on the roof!
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed the modernity and attractiveness of our campsite and your relaxed stay. Regarding the minor natural inconveniences, we understand that proximity to nature can sometimes cause unexpected surprises. We take note of your comments to improve the experience of our campers. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

We liked the pool area and the on site shop. The food take away was good. Good amount of sanitary blocks.
Toilet paper in the cubicle would be good. Some entertainment in English would have been nice. More information given on arrival would have been useful, maybe a booklet with same as received on other sites.
We had our own.
Pitch booked for us was not kept.
Thank you for your review! We are delighted that you enjoyed the pool, shop and takeaway. We note your suggestions about toilet paper and entertainment in English. Sorry about the unmanned pitch, we will try to avoid this in the future. Thanks again and see you soon!

Great accommodation great site clean and well maintained

Clean well kept great space

As above
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We are sorry that your experience fell short of your expectations compared to previous years. We take good note of your comments about the supervision at the pool and the maintenance of the hedges. The safety of our holidaymakers is a priority, and we will be making our lifeguards more aware of the need to show more authority. As far as the restaurant is concerned, although it is managed independently, we will share your comments with the team with a view to improving the service. We look forward to providing you with a better experience during your next stay.

Pool was great, accommodation really good. Staff helpful, onsite shop good. Onsite park excellent
Drains were smelly, older children would struggle to be entertained. More entertainment for rainy days, older childrens play equipment a bit dated and tattered. Pool was great but perhaps not as big as some other parks (e.g lazy river is part of existing pool) therefore it got very very busy. I got whacked in the nose twice with balls in the indoor pool and was glad it wasn’t my children (it hurt!) but it’s because it’s busy and there’s no real rules. It was so busy the first week (still French summer hols) that it looked like a shanty town when we came in - tents literally everywhere.
Very smart chalet, lovely and clean, we actually upgraded to a 3 bed. Deck was great
Could do with a gate on the deck with young children. You have to rent a bbq, this should be part of the cost. Very close to chalet behind and the were out on the deck talking and laughing loudly til 2.30am every night keeping our children awake. When we spoke to them about it they were very rude and told us not to tell them how to do their jobs (they had a group of children in tents next to their chalet). They even argued with the warden when he eventually came down (after a week of no sleep we went to get him). There is a rule about not disturbing others but not obvious enough!!
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed the pool, the stylish and clean chalet, as well as the helpful staff and facilities such as the park and on-site shop. We are sorry that some aspects of your stay did not live up to your expectations. Regarding the smelly drains and the play equipment for older children, we will be looking into this further to improve. We are also taking on board your comments about the need for more rainy day entertainment options. As for the swimming pool, we'll be working to better manage the area to ensure greater safety and comfort for all holidaymakers. Crowding during peak season can be a challenge, but we are looking to adjust the organisation of the space to provide a smoother experience for our guests. With regard to noise and incivilities, we are going to make holidaymakers more aware of our rules on peace and quiet, and reinforce their application to ensure mutual respect. Finally, we have taken note of your suggestion about the terrace barrier for young children and the barbecue, and we are giving them serious consideration for the coming seasons. We hope these improvements will make your next stay even more enjoyable!

Bad attitude at reception didn't what to help or be bothered
Fix things when they break instead of not bothering for next customer
Disliked the bad smell
Smelt very bad drains or something but again you didn't seem bothered. Broken shower bracket which you knew about before we stayed but did nothing about before or when we stayed. 5 euro part you can pick up from anywhere but you decided not to bother and let paying customers put up with it. Quite frankly shocked as we paid extra to stay at gite
We are sorry to hear that your stay did not live up to your expectations. As mentioned at reception, we were indeed aware of the problem with the broken shower bracket. The missing part was on order, but unfortunately had not yet arrived at the time of your stay. Although the shower was still usable, we understand that this may have been inconvenient. As for the smell, we immediately brought a product to remedy it. We also regret that the welcome you received was not up to our usual standards. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again to one of our Chadotel campsites, in order to offer you a more pleasant experience. Yours sincerely The team at L'Océano d'Or

Excellent tent pitch with personal ‘shed’ with powerful shower, toilet, sink, mirror, hanging rails etc. Also covered area for all your camping cookware, lots of sockets plus the hook up, sink, cupboard and a good sized fridge. Great pools and slides, plentiful and available loungers. Sanded play area was superb as were the table tennis tables dotted around. 3 bars dotted around which were always staffed. Flat and safe for bike riding around camp. Lovely on site restaurant; we ate out too and on site was on par so well done.
Toilets in the bar areas were clean but smelly. Odd as communal toilets around camp didn’t have the same issues.
As above, the tent pitch with the ‘en-suite’ was superb.
None
Thank you very much for your detailed and positive feedback! We are delighted that you enjoyed your tent pitch, as well as the facilities and activities on offer at the campsite.

The site is family friendly, clean, updated and has everything you need for a lovely summer holiday!
Takeaway was too slow!
Pitch was close to everywhere and electric worked fine no problems!

We have taken note of your feedback regarding the slowness of the takeaways and we will be working to improve this service to reduce waiting times.

Site has a nice atmosphere. Very helpful staff, receptionists/ restaurant staff were great.
Swimming pool area felt almost too small for the number of clients on hot days, particularly availability of loungers.
Very spacious pitch, plenty of room for our motor home and gazebo. Had some shade as well as sunny parts, which suited us both! Tap close by.
No
Thank you very much for your enthusiastic feedback! 🌟 We are delighted that you enjoyed the atmosphere of our campsite and the service of our staff.

The accommodation, site, facilities, entertainment and staff were all 5 star. My family and I absolutely loved our stay, we cant wait to come back next year. Everyone was so friendly, everything was so clean. There is something to do for everyone..
The high roof and walls make this seem larger. We loved this villa and the grill outside
We stayed in a Villa which was quite expensive. Maybe having the sheets changed for us (only once and after the first week) as we stayed for two weeks would have been nice. But again this didnt annoy or upset our stay as i just changed them myself. Maybe providing more utensils to use the grill as there is no oven we used it nearly everyday.
Thank you so much for your enthusiastic feedback! We are delighted that you had an excellent stay and that you enjoyed all the facilities and service. We are taking on board your suggestions to further improve our service. We will consider offering a change of linen for longer stays and we will look into the possibility of adding utensils for the grill, so that you can enjoy it even more on your next visit. We look forward to welcoming you back next year! 🌟

I loved my stay at Chadotel, from the fabulous campsite where you can take a dip from 10am in the pool or hop into the jacuzzi pool which was a real treat for me. There were plenty of toilet blocks where we could shower and use the lavatory. There were sinks to wash our dishes quickly and easily. A well stocked shop that we frequented for ice cream and water every day. The kids were delighted as there was a climbing frame, soccer pitch and basketball court. We had a fabulous pitch where we could hear the laughter and chat around us in the evenings as people cooked up their meals on BBQs.
It would be even better if soccer pitch was separated from basketball court because if you fall playing soccer, which is inevitable, you fall on concrete which happened to my son. An astro type surface would be ideal.
I loved the size of the pitch and I loved our location in the corner.
Some nights there was laughter and talking well into the early hours of the night but I think that I have to expect that.
We're delighted you loved your stay at Chadotel and were able to take full advantage of our facilities, from the swimming pool and climbing frame to the sports pitches and well-stocked shop! 😊 We take good note of your suggestion regarding the football pitch. The idea of an astro-type surface to prevent accidents is an interesting one, and we'll look into it to improve player safety and comfort. Thank you for your feedback on the size and location of your pitch. We're pleased that you found your space pleasant, despite the occasional noise pollution. We look forward to welcoming you back for another equally enjoyable stay! 🌟

Had a lovely stay. Had a pitch with private facilities which was good although a window would be good in bathroom as in the sun it was very hot in there.
Not great for English as the entertainment day and night in French. Not much to do in the local area. Not well directed to walk into the local town, we needed to use Google Maps.
Great size pitch. Nice and shaded in the hot sun
No window in bathroom as got too hot in there
Thank you for your feedback! We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the spacious and shady location. We take note of your suggestion to add a window in the bathroom to better manage the heat. Regarding the entertainment, we will work on making some of it more accessible for English speakers in the future. We regret that you were not well guided on your walks and we will make sure that our visitors are better informed on this subject. We look forward to welcoming you back, The Océano d'Or team

2nd time here, much bigger than last year, the pool is fantastic, staff are all helpful and friendly, not all speak English, but this never caused any issues, food was really good, all amenities on site that you would need, near some fantastic beaches. Will deffo go back again.
Only. Negative would be the wait for the food when you order from the take away, sometime the queue was quiet slow to get through, but that was more due to how popular the food was, with the number of people ordering and the number of staff working, especially when you have kids who are hungry
Plenty of space for your tent plus car, no issues at all
None
Thank you for your detailed and enthusiastic feedback! We are delighted that you enjoyed the pool, the quality of the food, the service of the staff and the facilities on site. We take note of your comment about the wait at the take-away service and we will work to optimise this point to better serve our guests, in particular families with children. We look forward to welcoming you again, The team at L'Océano d'Or

Really enjoyed everything at thus site, the site was very well maintained, accommodation was lovely, very clean with everything you would expect from a 5 star site.
Iron in home, especially premium.
Layout. Seating was good. Grill outside.
No iron for clothes.
Thank you very much for your positive feedback! We are delighted that you enjoyed the upkeep of the site, the charming and well-equipped accommodation and the outdoor facilities. For your convenience, irons are available on loan from reception. We look forward to welcoming you back, The team at L'Océano d'Or

We have stayed at this site many times and feel this is the perfect site for our needs. The site is always clean, the staff very friendly and accomodating. On arrival this year we were very impressed with the upgrades to the front entrance and also with the new layout of the additional bar, restaurant, outdoor seating and petanque area which made the space more inclusive. Happy to see that no changes had been made to the pool area as this is ideal for all ages already. The site is ideally located close to the village centre, beach, marina and watermark. Keep up the excellent work
The only comment I can make is that large inflatables were allowed in the pool this year as apposed to previous visits, this made swimming and enjoying the lazy river difficult. I would like to see this returned with none allowed
The pitch was a decent size which allowed for an awning and be able to park the car on the pitch and private.
Our pitch was very difficult to get a twin axle caravan in without a mover due to the narrow entrance and space between pitches, it would have been impossible if there was someone on the opposite pitch.
Thank you for your note! We take note of your comments, so don't hesitate to ask for a more accessible pitch for your caravan for your next stay :) The team at L'Océano d'Or
