Just don’t go

A bit painful to have to write a review like this, we always go to a place with the intent to enjoy it, not stress the little things, and I can’t remember the last time I scored a place below 3 but HGJ just doesn’t justify it.
Let’s start the with the extra charges : after booking a ‘luxury’... cabin we were told we need to pay extra for bed linen & towels.
Then there’s the multiple emails harassing us to pay a Eur200 deposit starting a fortnight before arrival.
Extra charges for cleaning, and they mean it too! We spent around 2 hours cleaning the cabin prior to departure and then there’s an inspection with a commandant forcing you to go back in to scrub and polish extra areas, standing over you with a clipboard.
No cleaning equipment is supplied, no mop, no spray, no cloths, no Hoover. It’s farcical.
The food is abysmal, I didn’t even know anywhere served food this bad in France. It’s far below the standard from the motorway service stations. There were , admittedly, clues before it arrived: why were the customers at the restaurant all English despite the majority of guests on site being French? This means you have to drive off site every evening to eat or make your own food in the poorly equipped kitchen, no oven or grill, just a stove. Even the coffee at the cafe hatch is poor.
There’s no amenities such as toiletries, kitchen wash items, water or coffee machine. Just nothing.
Overall this is the worst value for money holiday I’ve been on, spanning a range from high end hotels & resorts to bare minimum campsites & everything in between. In an attempt to be charitable, looking for redeeming features, I guess I could say the fresh baked goods at the shop were ok & the pool wasn’t too chlorinated. Struggling to think of anything else to praise.
Final comment on the water park. It’s rarely open, but that doesn’t matter as it’s so bad the kids didn’t want to use it.
Save your time & money and go to eurocamp instead.
