Not all will agree but this is our experience. Access road is narrow and is built into the side of a hill you go up and then down last hair pin is very tight there are no barriers and it’s a significant drop. Booking in took a while as each arrival has to be taken to their pitch so you just wait and wait. Our pitch 38 was poor we booked a long time ago with the van size but it was too small could not be moved as they were full. The tarmac access stops and then it’s loose chipping but you have to run over onto them to back onto the pitch and the van sinks took a while to get out of it. You get a side space to put table and chairs but even attaching to the electric is difficult as you are in a bush. The van is 7m and was about a metre in the road to get it on the site. A nice Dutch man came over to say we had the worse pitch on the site. great! The pool and beach and restaurant are a fair hike from the pitch and down hill even longer coming back. Pool was ok but could not sit by it due to flies. We booked the restaurant they gave us an English menu with the worse translation I have seen as such we had some very poor food and under cooked fries. We try our best with the language and try and order with google translate if stuck but no hope here. Extremely unfriendly staff and again flies in everything we noticed everyone’s drink was given a top to protect from flies but not us we asked but they just shrugged Beach was ok but tatty in our view Shop opening hours not as advertised on arrival The result was booked and paid for 3 nights but left after one. This site is at the end of the road with nothing nearby it’s a beach holiday only. We were ok with this and wanted just that but we were genuinely unwelcome we realised that as soon as we said English on arrival . Sometimes even those who have been trained not to cannot hide it. Showers are dribblers of hot then cold then hot. Disappointed to say the least. This is not everyone’s experience but just a factual statement of what happened to us.

It’s the second time we have been here in our Motorhome and we will keep going back too! We stayed just the 3 nights this time but it was a lovely experience all round. We were there before the rush of the summer vacationers so it was a little quiet. The pitches are ample but not the largest you will find - but for the 2 of us in a 7m unit its big enough. Orientation means you can easily create a private sitting area and shade from the fierce sun in the middle of the day - that is of you are not down at the beach or at the well presented swimming pool. The restaurant is open pretty much all year I believe and although its not an extensive menu it caters for most things and was good value as you would expect in this region. The quaint little seafront village of Las Negras is 10 minutes on a bike or a 20 minute walk and has a few cafes, bars, supermarkets. Prices are reasonable at the site and it looks like they were redeveloping their shop while we were there so there wasn’t one on site although we always try to arrive at a site quite well prepared anyway. Overall I give it 4.5 as there are a few things we find better on a site i would rate as 5 but its pretty near perfect. One thing I would like to see at more sites in the hotter months is an option for a cooler shower - its hot or nothing - but the same at pretty much all places you go to but maybe more sites should have a cool outdoor shower for people like me! Anyway I digress… we love it and will be back at the next opportunity…. Thanks @wecamp

Arrived at campsite to be told no tents allowed. Absolutely ridiculous being as it's a campsite. It would be helpful if they wrote on there website that no tents allowed. Complete waste of our time grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr .......................................................................

El camping se encuentra en un lugar maravilloso, y tiene estructuras de lujo, como se puede ver fácilmente en cualquier foto. Pero hay cosas que no se pueden ver en las fotos. Las personas de la limpieza, que andan limpiando todo el día, con atención a los detalles (imposible encontrar algo sucio). Los de la manutención y de la recepción, que hacen un trabajo increíble, poniéndole mucha atención al cliente y ayudando en todo lo que pueden en caso de problemas. Son todas estas personas que —en el respeto del concepto del camping de lujo y de paz— dan al camping el toque humano, de alegría y de amistad, que te da ganas de volver mil veces más. Llegamos al camping para quedarnos solamente unos días, pero al final nos quedamos tres semanas… y seguramente vamos a volver el próximo año para volver a ver nuevamente a Manu, Preston, Patri, Almu, Dani y a los demás (perdón, pero no nos acordamos todos los nombres). Solo nos permitimos dar una sugerencia: sería muy importante para los clientes que viajan con sus mascotas tener una bañera (con agua caliente) para lavar bien los perros, después de varios días de playa. Un caro saluto dall'Italia, Sara e Dario.

Te dicen que el horario de descanso es de 12 de la noche a 8 de la mañana y a las 9 de la noche ya te están llamando la atención de malas formas invitándote a irte a la playa, pagas un dineral para tener que estar con miedo, una pena porque el sitio es precioso.
