Electric grass and earth touring pitch
Liked: The reception guy,, was polite and tried to be helpful
Disliked: The site is unsafe due to state of the pool area ,,,, it is in a abysmal condition, the surrounding areas are littered with broken and piled up tiles ,,, the toilets were in need of a full renovation, showers , toilets were clean , but most were closed , we were told, were to be carefully used as they were solar ? , the grounds were very untidy and the bar, eating area was no better than a shed !, there are “large figures “ at the entrance area that had seen better days , probably 10or 15 years ago ,,, would advise anyone thinking of going here ,,,, to think again !!!

From the manager: Hello to get started, The pool is closed for work this has been specified, since it is under renovation it is normal that there are tiles and equipment. We are a campsite and not a 5 star hotel, the restaurant is an open snack that is to say accecible to everyone. Thank you for not disrespecting our figurines they date from 2022 just with the temples they were damaged.

Liked: The staff spoke good English and were very helpful. Beach was nice once you got there lots of information at the beach about the area
Disliked: When we got there it was cash only which wasn’t specified at the time of booking. Pool was closed as was the Cafe/bar. Most of the female toilets were out of order and the ones open were dirty. Was a 25 min walk to the beach. Would not book here again.

From the manager: Thank you for your comments, we are committed to remedying this situation and providing you with the services you are entitled to expect from us. however we inform you that the toilets are regularly cleaned and disinfected every day. closing women's toilets during this period allows our teams to better concentrate on the cleanliness of mixed toilets
Pitch up shouldn't be advertising this site until it has been cleaned

Liked: Nothink
Disliked: The site is dirty and not maintained most of the toilets weren't working swimming pool closed restaurant closed pitches were very stoney grass not cut. Not sure about the 2 x devils which greet you that are hung in the trees. The owner has bought new cabins but would have been better cleaning site up and installing new shower block
