Dreadful. At €1500 for a week, that's €3000 for the fortnight, it's lamentable. When we arrived, the mobile home was not ready, back at 6pm, the cleaning had not been done, the hired cot was defective, the mobile home was old, and hardly got any sun all day, with 2 sunshades (but we couldn't eat on the patio), pool was cold, and the sea a long way away. They want to play at "club med", but this is the "Flots Bleues" campsite (for anyone that's seen this French film).

The kids club happens mid-morning and mid-afternoon, so if you'd thought of going to the beach, think again.

Great favouritism for the English [the writer is French]: some activity leaders do not speak a word of French - we are in France you know!

Summary: useless. Above all, do not go here!

We’re just back from La Carabasse after 3 weeks of idyllic holidays in June 2009. To start with, we had only booked 2 weeks, but then we didn’t want to leave! I took the trouble of phoning the site 3 days before arrival, to check all was ok, and the receptionist took the trouble to tell me the best time to arrive. Come the day, there was no problem at all, very nice welcome and answers for all our questions. The mobile home (Elégance 3 bedroom, aircon and terrace) was superb, functional, well equipped and very clean, with a sheltered terrace. True that the site team is bilingual, but I did not feel that the English were favoured. I should think they represented about 70% of the clientele in June, but rest assured that they are very friendly and courteous people who never bite [This was originally written in French, in case you hadn’t guessed!]. More seriously, congratulations to the entertainments team, brilliant, and always smiling (and they sing in Spanish). The evening entertainment happens on the bar terraces; we were never pushed into consuming more, and it wasn’t even obligatory to buy something before sitting down. The children’s clubs seemed very friendly, but we didn’t actually try them, as we preferred to remain as a family in the superb pool, whose temperature varied according to the outside temperature. As for the sunbeds, I don’t think that Siblu can do anything about the lack of consideration of parents who think that their children who pass the whole afternoon in the water need a sunbed each; we only needed one between four of us (and there was no lack). In summary, we had a brilliant time, we appreciated the welcome and the quality of the service (at a promotional tariff as well, having booked in April), and we will return without doubt!

Extraordinary!

Above all, the staff of this campsite are always available and helpful.

Certainly, this doesn’t come cheap, but it’s the price you pay for making your children’s dreams come true!

We’re even wondering, after meeting a salesman, whether next year we might buy a 3-bed ‘bungalow’.

I suggest that everyone come and join us and make merry around the pool!

Very clean campsite, but full of English. There’s no one else there. Shame. Even the entertainers spoke little French. As for the security service, don’t make any noise after 11.30 pm, or you’ll have to answer to the ‘Chips’ (police on motorbikes, except these were on pushbikes). Entertainment left something to be desired.

I am the owner of a mobile home at the Carabasse, and I've been taking my three children (14, 10, 9) on holidays there in July/August for 7 years now, and believe me, they enjoy every minute, and can't wait for their next visit!
