Good but needs improvement

This is a nice campsite, when i was doing my research it was with teenagers in mind and I'm not sure this is the place to be (ours are 15 and17), however if you have young children the site/entertainment/pools are perfect, id be wary of photos on websites as they make slides look better than they are,... that said the camp is very near Benodet town which has a beautiful beach and some nice cafes and restaurants.
Accommodation - The cabins are very good quality and very clean, we had the basic model, we booked a cabin with 3 bed rooms as our boys need space but you would be hard pushed to put 6 people in here. Nice area outside and a built in barbecue. We forgot that we had to bring our dirty linen to reception on leaving and the girl was very nice about it, we did however leave the cabin spotless when we left.
Pools - Not great outside, extremely small as are the slides, the teens stayed away mostly which was a pity as the second week was warm and they wanted to be outside. Inside pools are better which was handy the first week when the weather was bad.
Restaurant - We ate here 3 nights and each night we were charged for food that was never brought out, thankfully we checked our bill, this is quiet serious as the food can be pricey so we never went back after the 3rd time, the waitress's work hard here (in particular Agnes) but there isn't much presence of management, an older gentleman was coming and going but I'm not sure what his role is. The restaurant closes Monday and Tuesday but you can get snacks there, the restaurant food is nice enough though.
Inside bar - Again there was only one maybe two people working in the bar at times when it got busy while other staff members were just standing around talking to each other, like the restaurant no one was taking charge or giving directions, we were also over charged for drinks we didn't order but we got it sorted. We ended up walking into town for drinks and dinner the second week. They have a dance floor and two pool tables but the cues were in bad shape but only €2 to play, they also have a small arcade at the back near the toilets but it's shabby.
The outdoor bar with the plastic furniture is ok but it's not comfortable sitting for longer than one drink, the indoor bar is dark and loud, there is no way you could have a conversation with anyone, i understand the need for music to give a vibe but this was awful. The furniture is dated and the place needs a good overhall, drinks are expensive here (except wine).
Snack bar - it's in the entertainment area which is very big and holds lots of people. Pizzas are lovely here but some of the food just is overpriced, nice beers on tap.
Entertainment area - as above it's good, obviously it was in French and i wouldn't expect anything else and again if you have small kids they would be very happy.
Maintenance/Reception - excellent service from both.
Teen Club - We read the weekly line up and were impressed but when the boys went up some nights for 9pm there wasn't anything happening so they left.
There is a great Acro Bat climbing assault course here, we booked it but it was cancelled due to the weather which was the right thing to do, great reports about this but obviously you have to pay for it €84 for a family of 4 so you will only do it once.
To close i think there is great potential here, the campsite is in a gorgeous area with lots of places to visit but i would say be careful when taking into consideration your children's age. We were in La Mouettes las year and it was run so much better and was more stylish and comfortable. The people working in this site were very friendly as we have found all over Brittany , but this site needs proper management.
