Domaine Le Sherwood

That jacuzzi is a lovely thing to come back to after the beach. The villas are cute and practical, with nice decor and everything clean. And the setting is hard to beat, tucked among the pines with the beach about a five-minute walk away.

We've been coming back for seven years, though the arrival and departure times seem a bit less flexible lately 🤷. It's a great spot for a restorative weekend, surrounded by pine trees and only a short walk from the beach. The themed places each have a sweet little garden and their own jacuzzi. I haven't tried things like the bike hire. A morning bread delivery would be a welcome addition, though 😉. Fantastic weekend! 👍

Being so close to the beach is a real plus, but there were several things we didn't like. There were ants all over the outside and on the accommodation, and quite a few had made it indoors too. We also found a lot of sand in the hot tub, so it didn't seem to have been cleaned between guests. And early one morning, someone came into our "garden" to clean the tub without warning us first. There was also a camera outside above the hot tub, which felt like spying, and nobody had told us about it.

The accommodation itself was truly excellent, but the way the stay was set up left me with the feeling that it wanted to be hotel-like without providing the service, while adding a long list of extras that made me feel ripped off. A few practical things bothered me: a place that sleeps up to 8 had just one bathroom for 6 of us, and there was only one luggage cart for all the rentals. There weren't any coat hooks either. Checkout at 10:00 AM felt too early unless you paid extra. We were also asked to clean before leaving, despite having very few cleaning products available. I'm listing this in the hope the service can improve. We didn't see anyone at checkout, though.
