Aminess Planet Camping Maravea Holiday Homes

The cabins were fantastic, and the campsite grounds were really well looked after. We had a lovely holiday there, but the service and practical details let the experience down. We had to ask three times before we got a high chair. The beach bar was extremely slow, and service across the campsite felt quite poor. The restaurant doesn't open until noon, which is tough with small children. You can't pre-order food to collect at opening time, so you have to come back to place your order, and even ice cream isn't available earlier in the day. I was also surprised that chairs by the beach and at one of the pools cost extra. For an already expensive campsite, that feels unnecessary and a bit unfair. The place is beautiful and has great potential, but these service issues and practical things need a lot of improvement to match the surroundings.

A quiet escape where the natural setting and simple pace make it easy to unwind. We stayed in a bungalow by the rocky shore, though chicly furnished apartments are another option. The greenery around the rocky beach makes for peaceful walks, and the evenings bring the smell of barbecues into the air as people spend time under the open sky. There are also areas set aside for nudism. Watch out for the sea urchins in the water, and bring espadrilles or flip-flops. You can also buy them from a vendor at the campsite. Every moment here feels like an invitation to relax and daydream.

The Kids Club was a letdown, especially for what the camping costs. The advertised activities rarely happened, and it seemed children were left without supervision for long stretches. A few times I saw the monitors looking at their phones, which made me worry about how closely the children were being watched. There also clearly weren't enough proper materials or resources. I expected much more. :(

Relaxing by the seaside was impossible, and the prices are crazy. A beer at the bar costs 7.5 EUR, and sunbeds are extra. It's a very big camping, but the facilities are old and not very well maintained.
