Reviews Campsite Yelloh! Village le Brasilia*****

01/08/2011 Visited this campsite in July 11, party of 5 with 19, 17 and 14 year old. We all appreciated the quality of this campsite. The pool area, though busy, is surprisingly calm and a good place to spend the day. The beach is long and sandy though a bit difficult on windy days.
The shops on site are of a high quality, especially the butchers and bakers. Quite pricy but worth the money. The nearby town Canet Plage was not good value. The restaurants seemed set on ripping off tourists, providing poor quality meals for high prices - only two dinners out there, then we'd learned our lesson. Judging by the number of people eating at the campsite, we weren't alone!
Our teenagers loved the freedom on the site, mixing with people from around Europe and the elder two going to the night club each night. The entertainment shows were ok. I'd definitely recommend this campsite.

12/09/2010 We visited this site with our touring caravan and 3 children, girls 8, 6, and 2. The site itself was clean and well maintained and our first impression was good, it went downhill from there. The pitch had a large ditch down one side which was not good.
The pool was a nightmare, the so called new waterpark was little more than a few small areas of water with huge great rocks in the middle, we kept loosing the children!! The lifeguards were always telling people off for silly things, too small water area for such a large camp. The beach was even worse, so stoney that walking was painful, one foot into the sea and we were upto our neck. then we were ordered to turn off the aircon in our caravan after 11pm, it was so hot the children couldn't sleep. We have been camping in France and Spain for 10 years and never experience so many rules!! After being told off for talking at 11pm outside the caravan we left, 9 days early, luckily we found another wonderful campsite. Brasilia is a nighmare

22/08/2010 Since this was our first visit abroad from England (and its dismall weather) we opted to go with Eurocamp - Superior comfort - and chose Le Brasilia on a recommendation and Zoover seemed to confirm.

Le Brasilia has everything to offer - most importantly the weather. The campsite was well maintained, manicured and clean - it was beautiful. The new swimming complex was safe (due to the lifeguards vigilant patrols) - unfortunately I think it was starting to see some wear - on our last day the bubble beds in the main pool were taken out as they had become loose.

The mini disco is a must for those 11 and under (and their parents). Benji (the entertainment director we assume) must be a machine for the hours and smiles he maintains.

The onsite restaraunt and shops are fantastic.

The beach (and therefore the med) was seconds away. Le Swim (a fantastic restaurant on the beach) offered food and drink at reasonable prices.

A train/ferry is available to take you into Canet.

A++

31/08/2010 The location is excellent, clean and the Yelloh static caravans in Louisiane were perfect for keeping an eye on the kids.

Our holiday was somewhat soured by the attitude of the manager and the guards around the pool. The pool is problematic. Apart from health & safety (you cant see the kids from all angles), you can't so much as breathe without asking for permission, and when it was busy we were advised that using our small camping chairs was not an option. When I pointed out that this was not shown on any of the campsite rules he said it was his rules and if we didnt like it we could complain to Yelloh!, but it would'nt make a difference. Breathtaking arrogance! I will be writing to Yelloh and perhaps this review might make a difference? I doubt it. In any event some unsavoury characters stood over our heads until we folded the chairs and moved to the permitted seating areas. Incredibly the next day there were a number of plastic chairs available for use. Customer Service:0

29/06/2008 This camping is just right. Beautiful large spots for the most part and lots of shade. Beautiful pool and immediately by the beach which is very nice. In fact, no minuses!

05/09/2007 We have just come back from a 2-week stay at this great camping. Everything is good with this camping. There were many NL, GB and F on this camping located at the beach. We were in the mobile home Siena, with 3 bedrooms and a terrace. There is a lot of shade near the caravan which we experienced as very pleasant. The pool is large and comfortable. The entire camping is very clean and spacious in its design. Because our son is 2 years old, the mini show (every night dancing) was very nice. The other entertainment we cannot judge. We were daily on the beach, which was easily accessible, from wherever you were on the camping. The traiteur/supermarkt is good eand the baker is ideal. It's not really inexpensive, so we would advise to go to the HyperCasino for the weekly shopping, unfortunately with the car. The surrounding area is excellent, lots of wine and a day trip to Barcelona is to do. Recommended!

30/08/2007 Rednted a caravan gehuurd via Eurocamp, well executed. Nice, clean camping, nice on the beach, lovely shops. But ..... if you have children just under or above 16 then they cannot go together to the disco and the firness training (min. age is 16 and is strictly enforced!). And then the pool supervisor......... every day there were a lot of people complaining at the reception, for the most minot offence he would cut the wrist tag (that you are obliged to wear) of the children and the manager decides when they are given back ... sometimes days.
(no tag, not in the pool and neither in the disco). At several locations noise complaints coming from a nearby camping.

26/08/2007 We have been for the fifth time at Brasilia, and are as always enthousiastic about the camping. Every year sees improvements to make it still better. It has indeed the right to call itself a top camping. However, there is one big disappointment. The entertainer, Jacques doesn't work there anymore, after 8 years! He is really great! Speaks all languages and is an all-round entertainer for young and old. Musically he can do a lot, he plays his guitar, sings and has a large repertoire from beautiful French songs to the Beatles. He takes requests and knows all the texts by heart. he has furthermore a natural charisma and charm , something you cannot learn. He offers a very varied entertainment program. The entertainment team that replaced him was disappointing and offered the same entertainment that you'll also find on other campings: OK, but lacking the something extra. We hope that Jacques will be present again next year, because we really missed him.
