Could be better
The apartment itself was a good size there was only the two of us, but I think would be cramped for 6 people. The apartment had everything we needed. The swimming pool complex is under construction which we were aware of before we booked, however the restaurants have limited service We went to buy a take out pizza at 7:15 and was told there wasn’t a pizza chef working that day. Went to the golf clubhouse ordered a bottle of wine €19 asked for a menu and was told they stop serving food at 3pm So although the place has lots to offer, you can’t rely on the website for what’s actually available and when It was fine for the two of us, but if you have children I think this would be a disappointing holiday

A re-visit to Belle Dune
This was our second visit to this quiet, picturesque resort. We stayed in a well equipped, two bedroom apartment all of which are centrally located near the main facilities. The houses, however may be some distance from the centre. There are good beaches nearby at Quend (35 mins. walk) and Fort Mahon (50 mins walk). There are pay car parks at both resorts but they do get full early at week-ends on good weather days. Why not hire bikes or bring your own, there are good cycle paths to both resorts.

A short break at Belle Dune
We stayed for 4 nights in a two-bedroom apartment which gave three of us plenty of space. It was clean and tidy on our arrival. The kitchen was well equipped with a large fridge/freezer microwave with grill and a dishwasher (tablets for this were provided in a small welcome pack). The apartments at Belle Dune are all close to the centre but this is a large park and some of the houses can be further away. The indoor heated pool has small and large slides and each half hour the wave machine is activated. There is also an outdoor Aqua park but this is only open until early September. There are several walks through the dunes to the coast at either Quend or Fort Mahon, why not walk one way and take the free mini-train the other. (Mini-train operates only at week-ends out of season). My only criticism would be the Free Basic Wifi it could not be picked up in our apartment. (This was our second visit to the park and on the previous occasion the wifi was fine. Overall in my opinion a nice place to stay.

‘Cosy’ accommodation in a Centre Parc style resort
The accommodation flat was ‘cosy’ but very clean. The double room was 2 small singles which could have been moved together. Sofa bed in bijoux living area with kitchen (microwave and hob). Veranda overgolf course. Suitable for 3, and weather was good- not sure how Feel if wet. Village is spacious, Aquapool was brilliant for kids- mini centre parc style inside/outside with slides and waves. Beware the strictly follow the French skimpy shorts/ budgies- can buy from shop for a premium. Didn’t use lake activities but looked good. Excellent location- close to 2 beaches and 15-20 mins from Le Touquet.

Good location
A beautiful location with fantastic beaches nearby. Fort Mahon and Quend beaches both worth visiting, although check tide times if you’re looking for a whole day on the beach as Quend beach gets fully submerged at high tide. The sunsets there are amazing! We stayed in a two bed, first floor apartment near the main square. The apartment was clean and well equipped (note that if you’re staying in standard accommodation, you will be making up your own beds with the linen provided and must clean your own kitchen area before leaving) The sofa bed was creaky and rather noisy, but that’s the nature of them I guess. The Aquaclub pools were great with a super wave machine in the indoor pool! One word of warning - loose swimming shorts are forbidden, men must wear Lycra shorts or speedo in the Pools, which can be a trial for some! Overall a lovely week with a few small hiccups due to the language barrier!

Not a bad place but went totally off it when refused entry to pool facilities unless wearing Speedos. Thought they were joking but no, Speedos required or no entry. Speedos €40 in resort shop. No chance, very disappointed when that’s probably the main attraction unless you’re playing golf. Poor.

We stayed at P&V Belle Dune for 3nights for Easter holiday. We had a great time there. Staff tried to help us even if we can’t speak Franch and they can’t speak English. The swimming pool is much smaller than Center Parc but it is better for families who have small children. One thing we were not happy about is we had to make our beds. We don’t want to spend time for making beds after a long drive.

Mixed Bag
My partner and I stayed at the Belle Dune village with her 11 year old son. We thought the village had a nice layout with an attractive lake in the centre. Our apartment was OK with moderate facilities and was basically furnished. We thought that some of the village was looking a little tired and could have done with a freshen up. As we were located in the centre of the village we found it noisy in the evenings especially when a temporary disco was set up for an hour or two right under our balcony! We thought the reception staff were friendly and helpful and from our point of view spoke quite good English. The main restaurant was nice with a very good buffet style meal set up although a little expensive if you can't manage or don't want to eat everything! On the whole we enjoyed our stay but probably wouldn't stay again.

Lovely setting but disappointing comfort level
Our holiday was okay although once the staff realised we couldn't speak French their patience was limited. We were given the wrong code to the car park on arrival, (this also happened to a Dutch family that we found struggling on our last day), this meant that it was a bit stressful after a long drive finding our house and parking. On arrival the house was clean although it is a bit annoying having to make up your beds but we did know this prior to arriving. The kitchen is very basic with only a microwave and hob no oven or toaster although we did work out how to grill one pizza at a time in the microwave. There is a dishwasher but would have swapped that for a toaster! There was no English TV channels, luckily we had downloaded films prior to arrival and plugged the lap top into the tv. The WiFi was manageable but not fab. The only settee in the room was also a sofa bed and two wide to sit on comfortably we all ended up with bad backs particularly as the beds weren't comfortable either. Book a larger house than you need as a two bedroom house meant for up to 6 really is very tiny for 4. We tried our best to read the french information leaflets even using google translate but we would have got more out of the holiday if we understood what was available to us. I wouldn't recommend booking a holiday here unless you speak some French.
