We have stayed in Mer et Golf several times and think it’s a great choice – super location, friendly & helpful staff, clean throughout, heated swimming pool, relatively fair price overall (given post-Covid price inflation). Overall, we would recommend this option to others. But there are some improvement opportunities which are flagged in other reviews, which I would agree with: - Air-conditioning is necessary, especially with more frequent heatwaves. It’s a “must have”. At a very minimum, the fans provided should be silent - as they're too loud at night-time. - We recommend that the old bed linen and pillows are replaced with higher quality. - Wifi should be free for all and very reliable. I think this is the only place I know in the last 5+ years that has a fee for wifi. - Upgrade or replace the playground and games room. They’re old at this point and not much fun for kids. A slide in the pool would be a nice addition. - King size beds would be preferable for the bedrooms as opposed to the current double bed size. - The corridor areas could do with being brighter I think addressing the above areas would really improve the development and bring it up to the standard expected by today's guests.

“Do not really expect any great understanding during this terrible Covid situation. Business must go on !”

Based on the past reviews the place should be nice, no doubts. Of course, all the current reviews are from the past.

Based on the past reviews the place should be nice, no doubts. Of course, all the current reviews are from the past. Yet, if you have to travel to go there , think about booking during the current Covid time, In fact, it looks like many scientists predict it will be with us for long. Are they wrong? The property may not understand your needs if Covid cases surge, as it is happening now and as it may happen in the future. I am a faithful Booking customer and a frequent traveller. I always book when I can cancel. This time, based on France and Europe worsening general situation, I tried to cancel about almost 1 month before my arrival. Travelling and coming back would have been difficult. Such an early cancellation would usually allow the property accept another customer , a fresh one , maybe someone who is ABLE TO SAFELY TRAVEL TO CURRENT COVID FRANCE (!!!) and TO SAFELY GO BACK TO HIS PLACE. In my specific case, they have not accepted such an early cancellation(3-4 weeks before). Unfortunately, IT MAY LOOK LIKE they DO NOT TAKE their customers' NEEDS related to current France situation in any consideration. Probably I am wrong when I think that getting money while giving back nothing may be a much easier business. So, please, feel free to book there! It is a great place, maybe. Just know that if anything changes your plans you may find troubles, even if you are trying to cancel 3 or 4 weeks before your arrival. In case you want to book , do it freely. It should be a very nice place !!! If you like it, do not pay too much attention to the current ews about Covid in France, the new restrictions , the protesters, green passes, curfews , et cetera..... Paying without going does not look to me as a very goot deal, but.... you never know. You may like it, expecially if you pay for a nice place whose pre-Covid customers wrote nice reviews. I loved them when I myself booked. It's a wonderful place to go.... Enjoy it.... if you are sure you can safely travel and return. Good luck with such a wonderful place ! I may book happily again, after all pandemic effects are gone, maybe in 3-4 years, or maybe even more .
