Résidence Vacances Bleues Domaine de l'Agreou

The property was in a great location. Staff were friendly and helpful. The apartment is very basic which is reflected in the price. It would of been helpful if the kitchen was better stocked but we got by. The facilities on site were great.

Although I booked this as a hotel, it is better to think of it as a holiday centre. It is a combination of appartments and a camping site around a reception area with restaurant. It suited us very well. A British family of four with two young kids (9 and 6), we wanted a few days at the seaside. We booked an appartment for 4/5 people for a short stay of three nights. The appartment was very well organised with kitchenette with hot plates and microwave. Plenty of space with bedrooms above and below the living and kitchen area and a balcony looking over pine trees. Price felt good value. The site is about 400 metres from the Atlantic with big waves great for surfers and bodyboarders and general fun with kids. The resort Seignosse-Penin is an essentially French Family resort (franco-français) but also a younger surfing crowd again largely French with only the odd Spanish, German and British group. But restaurateurs were welcoming and spoke enough English to help if your French is weak. Food outlets varied from French versions of fast food to decent family restaurants providing good French family fare rather than chic sophisticated cuisine. Markets on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday are worth a look. The resort/hotel had a lot for families: a children's play area, tennis courts, table tennis tables, various local variants of boule and pétanque. The on site restaurant has limited choice but there are plenty of alternatives in the main commercial area (5 minutes walk away). Only reservation would be about the bike hire. They didn't have a very wide range of sizes of bike. Nothing small enough for our six year old and so we had to put him in a baby seat in a bike that struggled to get up and down hills around. You might try the bike hire shop in the main commercial area instead (which looked a bit more expensive but may have a wider choice).
