My friends and I had just finished our final exams and we went to Moliets to enjoy our well-earned holidays. Because we came in the shoulder season, the five of us got a house for eight visitors for only €260 each, during two weeks. The people at the reception were very friendly, and they told us not only about the house itself, but also about the whereabouts in Moliets. There's plenty of things to do in Moliets, such as surfing and playing golf. If you want to go out however, you should visit during the high season for it really wasn't crowded yet when we did. We visited Moliets from the 28th of may till the 11th of june. The house was clean and spacious. The swimming pool was clear and we were happy to see that we had both a bit of grass and a wooden terrace. One of the window shutters didn't work anymore but the technician fixed it after we told the reception about it. Make sure you check the reception opening times; it's only open in the morning and evening. We've had two great weeks in Moliets and we would visit again. One advice for future visitors: during our stay, we may have reduced the fly population by a considerable amount, but bring something to get rid of them just in case.

“Fab holiday - good location with things todo...”

Myself and husband stayed here with another couple in Sept 2012 for a week. Overall the holiday was lovely - villa was in a great setting. Very large for just the four of us and there was another spare room that didn't have bedding made up. You do have to pay around 6euros etc if you want any more… Mais

Myself and husband stayed here with another couple in Sept 2012 for a week. Overall the holiday was lovely - villa was in a great setting. Very large for just the four of us and there was another spare room that didn't have bedding made up. You do have to pay around 6euros etc if you want any more towels - one per person simply isn't enough! There were no cleaning products in the villa even though one of your conditions of staying is that there is an inspection at 9.30am on the day you leave. So we had to go to a supermarket and buy some - but you would think stuff would be left over from previous guests! Someone came to read our meter one day and you are charged for cost of electricity etc. The oven wasn't working so took 2 days for someone to come look at it. Also due to local laws, BBQs aren't allowed. But there was a nifty tefal grill for outside use so the lads used that for cooking! Felt that the floors could have done with a proper mop before we arrived but never went around barefoot anyway. Bathrooms were lovely - each couple had their own. The beach is a 15-20 min bike ride away! Hiring a bike is essential, not only is it fun it gets you down to the beach in no time. Lots of little restaurants down on the beach, our fave was Dune! The food was so good!! We also hired a car and drove to Biarritz one day, and a local town called Dax which was disappointing. Overall a great place to stay if you want to catch up with friends in a relaxed setting, drinking good French wine and eating local delicacies. Oh make sure you go to the local boulangerie! Enjoy!!

We have just spent a week at Club Royal Aquitaine Villas in Moliets - beware lots of the reviews below are for other villas in Moliets eg La Prade despite the title. we enjoyed our stay but wont rush back to the Madame Vacances properties here but thought the coastline was SUPERB. Plus points - fantastic location very peaceful - between the sand dunes and the Forest/golf course. Our villa was not overlooked and was very peaceful - number 19. Development is quite small and intimate. Others villas seemed much more open either to the golf course or the road as you walked past. Reception staff very helpful. 20 minute stroll to the nearest beach - note other than a shower and lifeguards in the afternoon this beach has no facilities but does allow dogs on a lead - good for us. Collection service for bread, croissant etc in the morning very handy. Kitchen well equipped with cutlery, crockery and cooking items - we ate in nearly every night and no issues of only 4 glasses, 4 forks, 4 knives that you get in some places. Negatives- Linen pack - booked and paid in advance doesn't include teatowels, dish cloth or bath mats. bath mats could be hired as extras but why ? seemed very penny pinching to me. Villa seemed quite 'tired'. Outside furniture didnt match - 2 plastic sun loungers 2 steamer chairs - 4 oak chairs and table and two mismatched wooden chairs.Gave the property a downmarket feel yet we felt we didn't pay downmarket prices. We were only 4 in a property advertised for 6 but if 6 of you nowhere to sit around the dining table for 2, no sofas or comfortable lounge chairs for 2 and only 4 sunbeds or reclining chairs. In my view even taking into account the fact that they say in the he advertising that 2 of the 6 have to sleep on sofa beds not really a property for 6. Again not a problem for us but beware if you are thinking of filling these villas to their maximum capacity. Western style louvred swing doors to bathrooms were deeply irritating - they provide no privacy only irritation when in the middle of the night you have to go through them and disturb everyone else in the villa. I tried the slowly slowly approach - squeaked all the way open and closed and the dash straight through - swing backwards and forwards numerous times with a very loud noise - get rid of them. Vegetation on our villa was overgrown at the front - meant when we went out first thing in the morning we had to push through the leaves and get wet - much more disconcerting for the children who got the wet leaves in their face. Garden was not enclosed - in fairness it didn't advertise it was on the internet but it would be easy to enclose and many of the privately owned properties had enclosed gardens. Just means that when you are outside you are not only keeping an eye on your children/dog from not going in the pool but also running on to the road on either side of the property.. Overall we had a good holiday but seemed expensive for the price we paid versus the quality we got.
