  : Very nice property in the center of Camargue close to the etangs and the coast. Breeder of prized bulls, many camargue horses around.
  : A little too big

  : Breakfast was absolutely fantastic - top notch. Comfortable beds and exceptionally clean
  : Very poor Wifi - even though it was free. Made it difficult planning activities

  : The room was beautifully decorated, and the air conditioned worked very well, even in the middle of the heatwave. The place was very quiet, in the middle of the marshes, lovely night sky and beautiful light in the mornings. Fine kitchen facilities in the room. My daughter particularly appreciated that the stable next door offered poney rides all day.
  : Quite expensive, for a place which is 10 km away from the beach. We had a lovely terrace, with great views of the Milky Way at night, but it was covered in batshit. There were dozens of bats flying above us, and I appreciate that they kept the mosquitos at bay. But for 230 euros per night, I would expect the staff to clean their droppings every day. Not being squeamish, we very much enjoyed our breakfast there in the mornings.

  : The room is spacious and comfortable (though there are a lot of insects and mosquitoes - and no mosquito net). Breakfast is abundant. Cleaning ladies were nice and helpful.
  : We found a lack of services, and organization, in this hotel. Reception was non existent (we only ever saw the two cleaning ladies). We were given no information about possible activities in the Manade and therefore in the end we did none. We tried to organize horseback riding and it was impossible: the reception of the Manade was of no help, we were told we had to call directly the horseback riding teacher on her mobile, who was unreachable both on the phone and in person at the stable. In the end we went elsewhere to another stable which was weird and disappointing given that we had chosen to stay in a Manade and not a more central hotel closer to the town so that we could enjoy the ranch and activities. Our one time experience with the restaurant was disastrous and way different from the reviews (really bad service, incredible disorganization, our orders were repeatedly botched so it took 2 hours and half to get through dinner, meat was not good and we had the impression that it was not fresh and reheated -definitely not up to expectations and expensive too. In the end all we were offered to make up for the awkward experience was a coffee..). We paid 310 euro a night (plus 160 at the restaurant) which we thought was way too excessive a price for this hotel.

  : Beautiful apartment in the middle of the Camargue. Rich of services and opportunities. Excellent restaurant, super recommended.
  : Breakfast should be available even later that 10am.

  : The room was lovely and the area itself as well
  : The staff was not very helpful. I asked them help to organise a horseback ride and they gave me a number and did not help at all. Unfortunately, I do not speak French and I could not book that way. I would have preferred some more help from the propriety.

  : Very nicely renovated historical building in a wonderful location, surrounded by nature and many animals. Especially interesting for horse lovers, many possibilities for activities with horses. Beautiful restaurant location outside with a view. Close to village if you want to go to the beach.
  : Buffet during breakfast was almost empty when we came and was only filled up upon our request - other than that nothing else
