Sunelia Domaine De La Dragonnière

Just returned from 2 weeks holiday with my wife and kids (9 & 11) on the campsite and had a wonderful time. The several pools available provided a good balance for what individuals require. Adults tend to enjoy the deeper of the two "olympic" pools whereas kids enjoy the Havana pools, slides and lagoon. Worth noting that no inflatables are permitted in any pool and is strictly policed by lifeguards. Balls and sinkers appear to be fine apart from if a swimming session is on in olympic pool. We were camping on a premier pitch which was quite tight for our family tent (8m long) and didn't allow us to put up an awning to provide well needed shade. Gravel has been placed around the sanitary blocks on the pitches which has migrated onto the actual pitches making it uncomfortable under foot in a tent and actually punctured the groundsheet of our friends on an adjacent pitch. The pitches are probably more suitable for caravans than tents or require a good stone pick prior to pitching. Not sure how feasible this is though as some stones are bedded in. Despite the small issues with the pitch we still had a great stay. Several restaurants on site provide variety for adults and the option of takeaways from sushi bar, pizzas and also full cooked chickens provide options for food. Kids menu however is generally the same in most restaurants (4-5 options). Staff are generally very friendly and happy to help and although sometimes staff don't speak perfect English they are patient enough to work through with us when our French didn't make muster. We only had one experience in the grill restaurant where staff appeared disinterested and unhappy to serve, perhaps they were just having a bad day. Lots of activities going on around the campsite during the day should you wish to get involved. Entertainment on site on evenings was good, kids particularly enjoyed magic show although we did struggle to enjoy the clubbing night that went on until the early hours (We were a reasonable distance from the stage, I feel for those who were closer). Site has lots to offer with trampolines, ping pong, petanque areas, bike hire (not sure has the best cycle links around the campsite though but didn't explore in depth) skate park, tennis courts, volleyball etc. Site ideally located for visiting wider areas such as Narbonne, Beziers, Carcassonne, Montpellier (Has a free zoo), also possible to drive into Spain (We visited Gironde) which kids thought was an amazing adventure.
