Large space with plenty of options for water sports enthusiasts. Large pitches with little shade and small trees. We have tried all seasons within the last few years. This time we were there in mid-August. In the high season in July it is very loud, also due to the youth camps, and you mostly meet Dutch family clans. Children drive motorized quads, electric vehicles and without lights through the area. There are campsite rules, but they are ignored and violations are not pursued. You can actually do what you want there. There are certainly quieter places, e.g. Zone 1, but then you stand very far from the sea - and you don't want that either .....
In the off-season from mid-August there are more Spaniards in the suburbs, but it is definitely more pleasant and there are plenty of free parking spaces. However, we also noticed that strangers who come over the bridge use the facility completely free of charge. This is unfair to the paying campers and should be checked. The campsite is not exactly cheap either. The entertainment is unfortunately mostly in Spanish.
The beach is clean and just wonderful. So is the local recreation area. Dogs are welcome on the beach, and there are plenty of them on the site. Small bags should definitely be attached here, as do other campsites. The internet and power supply have finally gotten better too. Otherwise little further development in relation to the past years - also in relation to garbage, this is still picked up with stinky diesel trucks.
Cleanliness: In the high season you try hard - but you can really feel sorry for the cleaning ladies. You work with a lot of water, so it's easy to slip in the sanitary area. It stinks badly. The windows and floors in the restaurant and in the pool area are also dirty and sticky and have round corners. A water hose is no longer a remedy!
Beach bar: The service there was unfortunately only average despite the annual change of staff. This year, after a long wait, we were only served 3 times (although it wasn't busy), otherwise we had to order and collect our drinks and food ourselves from the self-service. The pizza actually only ragged batter with a lot of cheese - a disaster. The beach bar could also be made more beautiful with accessories and a bit of color, we have already seen different things. Unfortunately, the prices have also risen and the coffee now tastes worse and looks diluted.
Supermarket: Priced higher - but okay so far. The meat offer is a bit poor.
Reception: Always very friendly and always with a smile on your face.
However, if you could give minus stars, we would do the same for this:
The worst thing is the manure smell, an absolute nuisance. We always hope it gets better.
Every time after the vacation we need at least 3 days until the olfactory organ functions normally again and can perceive other smells. This should be remedied urgently, because that is not possible!
Conclusion: You can not necessarily expect luxury and tranquility with relaxation on the Nautic Almata - but an informal camping feeling with some weaknesses and memories on one of the most beautiful campsites on the Costa Brava ....
