Pierre & Vacances Résidence Les Parcs de Grimaud in Grimaud

🧭 Review of Pierre et Vacances Résidence Les Parcs de Grimaud (July 14–22, 2025)

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly base to explore the French Riviera and plan to spend little to no time in your accommodation, this residence might suit you. But if you value rest, comfort, and sleep — look elsewhere.

Pros:
• Convenient location: many beautiful Riviera destinations are easily reachable within 200–250 km. We thoroughly enjoyed day trips in the region.
• On-site parking is a big plus in this area.

Cons (and they’re serious):
• The lack of air conditioning in the apartments during the July heat (up to 35°C during the day and 25°C at night) made our stay physically exhausting. For people used to using AC even in Siberia, this was unbearable.
• Although there was a single fan provided per apartment, it did little more than push hot air around — absolutely ineffective for cooling the room.
• We tried to rent a portable air conditioner, as we successfully did in the same residence last year, but were told this was no longer possible.

Bottom line:
This place may work for those who only need a place to sleep and can tolerate extreme heat. But until the management addresses the lack of proper climate control, I cannot recommend staying here during the summer. Spend a little more elsewhere and actually enjoy your time in France

their check-in time is only from 5pm to 7pm. They don't even have a number to call after those hours. We lost all our money. horrible customer service. ******* should remove this place from their website.

We paid 300 euros upfront for 1 night and then they demanded a 200 euro deposit. We arrived at 5pm and the room was not ready until 7pm!? I explained I live over seas and that if they block 200 euros on my card it will mess up my holiday. They demanded it and i had no choice. We got to the room and there was blood on the curtain and ceiling. They even had a punch mark in the plasterboard wall. It was average to say the least. The pool is tiny and the security guards banned us from taking unopened food to the pool so we had to walk back and put it in the blood drenched vandalised room. If you are thinking about booking place just look the opposite side of the road there is a nice place with similar facilities and a more fraction of the price. I will NEVER return here as you get treated like a criminal just to stay in a kind of place only a criminal would. But they charge a fortune.

Correct

Very small!! Dont book here. We booked a 5 and 7 person appartements for 12 people in total. The rooms won’t even fit 9 people!!!

Its a shame to let people (who paid for the room) to sleep on the floor. Last time coming here.
