La Pignade Holiday Park

Definitely the worst holiday I've ever had. The accomodation was very poor and very cramped, with the worst mattress that I have ever slept on. It was situated next to the play park area which meant that we were kept awake until 2am each morning by screaming kids in the park. We contacted the reception several times about this and were told that it would be sorted by security in the evening, but nothing was ever done.
The bar was approximately 75 yards away and used to pump out loud music until 1am, which actually kept my kids awake, which ruined any plans we had for the next day as it was impossible to get them out of bed. The annoying thing was that the majority of the time the music was too loud there wasn't actually anyone even listening to it... bizzare. We again complained to the reception, but again it made little difference. Then we had the joys of children playing in the park loudly from about 6.30am every morning.
The facilities on site are poor in my opinion, one small pool that was too small for the amount of people on site, you definitely couldn't swim in it and sometimes you could barely stand in it when it got busy. The swimming pool had a sliding roof and was supposed to be heated... I think they must have been trying to save on their electric bills, because it was nearly always too cold for my kids to stay in. There are a couple of small slides that seemed to be closed on a regular basis, and lifeguards are the most miserable rude baywatch wanabees you're ever likely to have the misfortune to meet. Table tennis bats were older than me or you had the chance to play antiquated arcade games.
Reception area were not that helpful or interested and in general the staff on site were rude and unhelpful. The woman in the shop was quite possibly the rudest person on the planet, closely followed by the restaurant staff.
The only upside of the holiday was the location, absolutely stunning region of France, with fantastic beaches.
If you are thinking of staying at this resort please think again. Siblu will never receive another penny of my money.

This is a beautifully kept site, by far the prettiest and nicest Haven Europe site we have been too so far! We were told the site had had a lot of money spent on it recently and this was evident.
We were lucky enough to be upgraded to an owner's caravan - and this was very luxurious with outdoor decking etc - at no extra cost. It was the last week of the season when we visited and was very quiet however, that did not stop the entertainment continuing and despite our son sometimes being the only child there for the kid's club, they still carried on! The staff were amazing at this site and the facilities were excellent with a good bar and restaurant.
The shop on site was more like a small supermarket and very reasonably priced. We did not get chance to try the pool area as most days it was too cool. You can walk to the nearest beach and there are forest walks nearby too. I would definitely recommend this site to all.
