Definitely recommend, and the location is incredible

We stayed for 7 nights in August 2024 as a family of 4 and had the most incredible holiday. We could have stayed longer. We stayed in one of the treehouses, and it was a fantastic experience for us as well as the children.
The accommodation had everything we needed and we found it handy that you can... park next to your accommodation.
The site was kept clean and tidy, and the staff were friendly. The reception staff were helpful. They regularly had ques and remained professional and smiling. We found the park to be relaxing and quiet. We did not have any issues with loud noise. We needed an iron during our stay which was no problem at all, we borrowed from reception, leaving and ID whilst we had the iron.
Bike Hire - we were planning to hire bikes and have a day out however there was a limited amount of bikes and a few were in need of repair which limited the amount further so we were not able to get 4 bikes in working order at the same time so instead we hired a bike for my youngest which still needed some repairs but it was usable, he had a day on the bike and we walked. I'm sure sandaya will have the bikes back in working order before long. It didn't spoil anything for us. We just changed our plans slightly. We found the bike hire prices were reasonable.
Go Karts - these were priced reasonable to hire. Both the children hired these and enjoyed riding around the park.
Table tennis- there are many table tennis areas around the park however they had ran out of balls and did not have any available to use during our stay however you could purchase them from the shop on site but we didn't do this. We would plan to bring our own if we returned for another holiday. Again, this didn't spoil our holiday. We just did something else instead, and we understand it is a busy time to visit, I'm sure they will re stock soon. It was easy to collect badminton rackets, footballs etc, you just needed to leave an ID at reception whilst you used them.
We enjoyed the tennis courts and bike areas next to the park.
Swimming pool and splash area - lovely little area, we all enjoyed an afternoon or 2 relaxing here. The jacuzzi is from 10 years up, so my youngest only had the option of the main swimming pool, which he was happy with, along with playing in the splash area. You do have to wear speedo type, tight fitting swimwear as they were asking people to come out of the pool if they did not have the correct swimwear on.
We had linen and towels included when we arrived it was in our accommodation ready for us to make our own beds up, this wasn't an issue, I have just mentioned it so others are aware that this is how it works. You also receive contact around 10 days before your stay to organise a secure deposit which is not taken from your bank account the bank details are just held and if your accommodation is left clean and tidy and nothing broken you do not pay anything.
Location - you can walk out of the site and into the local town of maisons lafitte with restaurants, cafes and beautiful patisseries which we enjoyed sampling a cake daily and pick up our Baguette in readiness for the next day. There is a local market on a Saturday and Wed at 8am - 1 pm, mostly foods 😋 but some little jewellery stalls too. It was lovely to look around and sample some delicious food products. You will find the local market just a short walk from the train station.
Train station - this is about a 10 minute walk from the park. Easy to find, we used the train service a few times during our stay. We found the best value for money was to get the book of 10 tickets, which was 48 euros for adults and 24 euros for children up to 9 years old. You only use 1 ticket per journey, it is valid tor 1 hour 30 min. We visited different areas of Paris using the rail service.
Supermarkets - there is a large carrefour approximately 10 minutes drive from the site. There is also a small aldi and a French supermarket right next to aldi, just a short drive out of the park, too. There is a local shop on site which sells patisseries, baguettes, etc, plus your usual local shop products. They are more pricey, but the option is there.
Tip - bring mosquito repellent, plug ins etc with you. As the mosquitos seemed to love us and the plug-ins were expensive out there so if you can purchase before you come, this would be better. The mosquitos didn't ruin anything. It's just one of those things that can't be helped.
I'm sure they are already on the case. Sandaya to have a check of sport and activity equipment and replenish the stock and repair bikes to have sufficient stock available. The shuttlecocks for badminton need replacing, and table tennis balls need to be re stocked. I'm sure it is wear and tear of the season and confident this will all be up and running in readiness for the next season.
We would definitely return and definitely recommend. One of our best holidays we have experienced.
