This is a fabulous site and whoever you are,and whatever your interests,your bound to have a great time.
With friendly people and a great atmosphere(provided by the nightly entertainment,pool complexe,weather and friendly staff as well as everything else)this is an obvious choice for anyone wanting a satisfying holiday abroad.

Im 15,and throught my 3 week stay there were plenty of people my age, slightly older and younger.there was also younger kids on site,meaning that whatever age you are they will be alot of kids the same age making it easy to make friends.
The kids clubs(paws:1-4,Tiger club 5-9 and T-co 10-14 +)make sure that you have a fun time and socialise with others,they do things that appeal to your age group from sports such as baseball and gaelic football to talent shows to provide entertainment for everyone.


The facilitees on site are amazing,the pool complexe boasts an indoor pool with heated jacuzzi,changing area with toilets,'beach' pool with running waterfall,first aid centre,length pool,4 water slides and flume,kiddies pool and aqua playstation-As well as all that there are fully qualified lifeguards around every pool to insure your safety and make sure things run smoothly.
Around the site,there is alot to do.There is assorted play areas from ages 1-8 scattered around the campsite for young kids,containing things such as swings and slides sure to keep them intertained.
They also have an archery court,a place to play boules,basket ball court,2 football pitches,tennis courts,indoor bar,entertainment venue(including a bar,stage, large seating areas,pool tables,vending machines and toilets)
They also have a running track for those keen on early morning runs.
Also,on entering the campsite there is a go-carting and quading area where you can enjoy yourself but sadly,at a price for 14 minutes it costs 20 euro.
As well as all this,the team(containing young and enthusiastic people)organise events every day such as soccer,archery and pool games(such as water polo and races) sure to keep anyone entertained.

At night this team of hardworking,decicated people also run the bar entertainment,organising things such as Kareoke,welcome show(involving sketches and songs),and Tierplayback(where they perform and you vote for your favourites in order to win prizes).

The local areas are also very interesting,la palmyre is beautiful with fabulous ice cream and souvenir shops,as well as selling many interesting things for prices much cheaper than ireland or the uk.There is also a harbour where you can rent jet skis and boats for very reasonable prices(40 euro for 70 minutes)
The kiddies park "Youpi land" also looks interesting,boasting many bouncing castles and rides for a entry fee of 7 euro.
Luna park is also great fun for all the family,It opens at the end of june and contains things such as water rides,rollercoasters,and prize winning games.It is quite expensive but tokens are available at reception to get money of rides on certain days(incuding Saturdays)
Royan contains thousands of shops,selling clothes,shoes and perfume for half the price we are used to!
La palmyre zoo,2 miles away is definatly one of the best in Europe,with a huge collection of exotic animals and performing sealions and parrots.
If you arent sure about holidaying here,look at the haven broucher,this campsite is amazing and whatever you want in a holiday,you can be sure to find it here.
