Fabulous Family Site

Le Brasilia
We stayed as a family for 3 weeks during the Summer of 2023. There are very few negatives about this site and I will address them first. A potential issue is that the birds do target bomb some pitches with their droppings and whilst we were mostly fortunate, some caravans, cars,awnings etc are covered. The pines from the trees fall daily and are a minor inconvenience but the on site team pick them up daily.The large pine cones that are visible on the floor are more of a concern as they could do some damage if they happened to fall on your caravan. The slides in the water park are great for children up to around 11 years of age but they are tame by comparison to other sites we have visited. The amount of children and adults riding scooters,electric scooters and bikes quickly and with no apparent road sense was worrying. Now for the many positives. The site does have a wow factor and this is apparent from the first moment that you arrive at the entrance. The site is visually very impressive. There is a slick Saturday check in routine with plenty of staff to guide you to the lovely Reception building and to your pitch. The serviced pitches are large enough –just, for our double axle caravan, full length awning and a small Coleman sun canopy with room to park the car, everything is squeezed in. There are two toilet blocks near the CC pitches, the newish one is extremely luxurious. The free Wi-Fi is excellent and my daughter was able to watch Netflix. There is a fabulous shopping arcade on site with numerous small shops selling everything that you would need for your holiday. There is also a popular restaurant on site but we did not use as the Deli and Take away were wonderful and reasonably priced. The Water Park is great, there are several pools catering for everybody’s needs. There is a pool area for toddlers, young children and a pool that older children and adults can use to play. There are an additional two pools on the other side, one for proper swimming and the other to relax and chill. There is also a Jacuzzi pool for adults The onsite beach is a real plus and the reason that attracted us here in the first place. The sea is mostly calm and you can walk out a fair distance. Lots of people paddleboard on the sea and a few use kayaks. The on site entertainment is mostly very good, with tribute acts from Queen, The Beatles, Michael Jackson. There were gymnasts and acrobats, the onsite musicals such as The Greatest Showman were mimed but still enjoyable. You can book coach excursions on site to places such as Carcassonne, Barcelona etc for a reasonable amount and we went to Carcassonne which I would recommend. We also visited Collioure,which is famed for its Artists such as Matisse and Picasso, it is a lovely seaside village. In summary, this is a great site, very relaxing, it is a long way from home but would highly recommend.

It has everything.

Le Brasilia
We took advantage of the late Easter to attempt a beach holiday - although unlucky with the weather this site has a good location, having direct beach access ( we didn't get to sit on the beach at this time of year - sea too rough and it was windy). If you are unlucky enough to have poor weather then this site is the best place to be - the pool areas are fabulous and cater for all needs - so there is a pool with swimming lanes and another for playing so those who want to just swim can do. Heated too (which was necessary). There are very good food shopping facilities - bread / grocers / veg / butchers and deli where you can also buy pizzas or roast chicken off the spit. shops also sell clothing (for the beach) and a newsagents. Staff are super friendly, with reception reminding me of a hotel lobby. The site is kept beautifully clean and there are sharing showers for families. We were given a pitch on F block (so we could hear the sea) and one morning after particularly heavy rainfall we could see that the pitches closer to the central area of the row had flooded quite badly. We were lucky, being on the end of the row, but the ground was soft. Location wise there are quite a few things to do - leaflets can be found in the tourist information office on site (here you can also borrow books). We visited Tautavel and Castelnou. We also got the bus to Perpignon a couple of times and really enjoyed the place. It is a bit of a walk to the bus stop but if the weather is fine it is worth the walk. Very pleasant. We also cycled to the local Intermarche (bike stands outside). We also cycled in to Canet-en-Roussillon which is a very small, but pretty place. We were able to lock our bikes up on the stands outside the Mairie. Overall we had a lovely holiday exploring this lovely area (we went to Coullioure but were unable to stop as there was no where to park the motor home - but driving along this beautiful coast is lovely. Also, there was snow on the top of the Pyrenees - beautiful. We arrived the day after it had opened for the new season and it was pretty busy (to our surprise) - so I can imagine it will get very busy in summer. But a nice site for families.

We Loved it !!!

Le Brasilia
We stayed here in June 2018 with our 2 children 8 & 10 years. We are used to smaller sites and a little more peace and quiet, so were a little apprehensive when we booked La Brasilia. What we found upon arrival was a beautiful, well looked after site with so much to do for the kids and adults. (Cycling club for the adults was great -100Km ride outs most days). There is much mention on the other reviews about the trees. Yes, there are pine trees and yes they drop their needles. However, staff regularly clean up the roads and plots and keep the place looking beautiful. The needless are a small price to pay for the benefit of having shade and boy do you need it given the summer temperatures down there. We personally found the plot sizes big enough for a 7.5meter caravan with a full size awning and a further sun porch / awning attached to that. Fantastic toilet blocks, one of which is brand new and stunning. The only downside is that the increase in size of the new cubicles means that they have reduced capacity, which led to a little queue at peak times. Pools and facilities were amazing and the beach.. Awesome!! If I had to pick fault I would say that the noise that come from an adjoining site is at times a little too much. This will only affect you if you are right at the back of the site (which we were). That said it was silent before midnight, so I could live with it. It’s a long old journey from the English / Scottish border, but I can honestly say it was worth every mile !!!

Very friendly, despite the size

Le Brasilia
I agree with recent reviews that this an excellent very well equipped and maintained site. The pool complex is enormous and beautifully landscaped. Best out of season (or lunchtime) when it is still warm but not too busy. There is a whole mini village of shops so no real need to go anywhere else. In fact the place is something of a "bubble". There are sightseeing opportunities around but we'd done that on the way down so mainly stayed on site for 10 days. Despite it being very large with whole areas devoted to cabins, the atmosphere managed to be friendly and almost intimate. This is mainly due to the helpful staff and especially the animation crew. As a senior couple, we are not normally interested in on site entertainment (unlike the French who make it their top priority) but we thoroughly enjoyed the lunchtime pool exercises and the evening shows. How lovely to wander around at 10pm in a T-shirt listening to tribute acts and sipping cocktails! Great to have a beach adjacent but it does shelve steeply and you need shoes to get over the strip of stones at the water's edge. If you have really small children you may prefer to get the little train into Canet. We mostly had nice weather in early September but the Tramontane wind got up some days and quickly blew cloud in. Temperature remained in the mid twenties. I also agree about the shape of the pitches and the constant droppings from the trees. Some pitches were worse than others so it is pot luck. It seems like a posh tablecloth is not the only essential accessory - you need a car over and a spare tarpaulin over the awning. If you book through the Club you will be in an area with other Brits and have no choice. I suspect that any site in the South of France will have this problem if you have shade. We had grass underfoot further north but not here! Using the water connection and draining into the ditch we never used the site showers.

A Great All-round Site

Le Brasilia
Just returned from three weeks at this site and loved it. Despite my first impression on arrival, that made me think that I had arrived at one of those UK holiday camps. My misgivings were quickly dispelled by the warm welcome we received at reception and from our friendly escort to our pitch. It's a large site divided up into small areas with their own facilities that are regularly cleaned and as a result spotless. The pitches are large and fully serviced with water, waste and electric and most have trees providing some shade, which was welcomed. A slight drawback is that the trees are home for squirrels, pigeons and other birds that can result in your caravan/Motorhome,awning and car being subjected to,,, well I'll leave it to your imagination. The site has its own shops, bars, restaurant, spa, entertainment area, swimming pools with children's water play area together with various sports areas. There's direct access to the beach that had lifeguard cover throughout our stay. This site should suit all ages with something for everyone. Families especially will like this site as it provides a safe environment for their children to explore. We hardly left the site finding everything we needed for a very enjoyable holiday. If we had to say something negative about our stay, it would be, that it just wasn't long enough.
