Summary created out of 288 reviews

Camping Valkanela is beautifully situated on a bay with crystal-clear water and offers modern, well-maintained sanitary facilities that are constantly kept clean. Guests appreciate the spacious pitches, swimming pools, and restaurants, as well as the friendly staff. However, complaints are regularly made about the high prices of food, drinks, and extra services at the park, and some visitors experience noise disturbances from music and parties late into the night. There are also complaints about crowding at reception and long waiting times during check-in.

    We booked a Premium Mobile Home. In the photos, it looks a lot bigger and more modern than it actually is. The floor plan is accurate, but otherwise the whole thing is misleading. The rooms are of lower quality than shown and much smaller; the bathroom is the same. There are hardly any places to hang up bath towels. The outdoor clothesline is … nice, but it’s TOO SMALL for a family of four. It’s also at least a 15-minute walk to the beach. So it’s NOT DIRECTLY on the beach.

    The floors in the mobile homes are dirty; you’d expect them to at least wipe them down with a damp cloth after each guest.

    I find it outrageous that you have to pay for the lounge chairs by the large pool (€20 for 2 chairs per day).

    So, for over 2,500€ (12 nights), I expect more than what’s offered here. Too bad.

    The only positive thing is that the service works when using the app.

    Wir haben ein Premium Mobile Home gebucht. Auf den Fotos schaut das ganze um einiges größer und moderner aus als es ist. Der Grundriss stimmt zwar aber sonst ist das ganze irreführend. Die Zimmer sind qualitativ schlechter als gezeigt und weitaus kleiner, das Bad genauso. Es gibt kaum Möglichkeiten Badetücher aufzuhängen. Der Wäscheständer für draußen ist ganz nett aber für eine 4 köpfige Familie ZU WENIG. Der Weg bis zum Meer sind auch mind. 15min zu Fuß. Also KEINE DIREKTE Strandlage.

    Der Boden in den mobile homes ist schmutzig, einmal feucht drüber wischen nach jedem Besucher wäre zu erwarten.

    Das man für die Liegen beim großen Pool zahlen muss (20€ für 2 Liegen pro Tag) empfinde ich als Frechheit.

    Also bei über 2500€ (12 Nächte) erwarte ich mir mehr als das was hier geboten wird. Schade.

    Einzige positive ist, dass bei der Nutzung der App der Service funktioniert.

    Unfortunately, we were disappointed with the campsite—we had a very awkward spot with no shade at all. The restroom facilities were cleaned frequently by the nice cleaning ladies, but unfortunately they were very run-down, and four restrooms are far too few; we had to wait in line every morning.The worst part, unfortunately, was the noise that … went on well into the night—with teenagers shouting,cars driving back and forth until late at night, people starting to pack up as early as 5 a.m., and the leaf blower going off at 4:22 a.m. Music blaring from two sides all night long—these were anything but restful nights!On the positive side, the staff at the grocery store were always friendly, and the rolls and croissants in the morning were great. And the staff at the seaside restaurant were remarkably friendly!! We found the value for money a bit too expensive. The bay by the sea was very beautiful, but because of the noise that lasted until the early morning, we wouldn’t go back to this campground!

    Wir waren leider enttäuscht vom Platz hatten einen sehr schrägen Platz und keine Minute Schatten Sanitär äe Anlage war von den netten Putzfrauen oft gereinigt aber leider sehr in die Jahre gekommen und nir 4 WCs sind viel zu wenig jeden Morgen war Anstehen angesagt .Am schlimmsten war leider der Lärm bis in die Nacht rein wo Jugendliche gebrüllt haben ,Autos bis Nachts auf und ab gefahren sind ab 5 Uhr morgen schon abgebaut wurde und um 4.22 uhr der Laubbläser durch ging .Musik von 2 Seiten bis Nacht durcheinander spielte waren alles andere wie erholsame Nächte !.Positiv war das Personal im Konsum immer freundlich super Semmeln und Croissants am Morgen.Und auffällig Freundliches Personal im Restaurant am Meer !!Preis Leistung fanden wir etwas zu teuer.Die Bucht am Meer war sehr schön aber durch die Lautstärke bis in der früh würden wir nicht mehr auf diesen Campingplatz fahren !

    Perfect campground.
    Lovor Real Grill has great food and extremely friendly service.
    My little daughter accidentally spilled her drink right away, and the friendly waiter immediately brought her a free replacement without her even asking.
    We’d love to come back here 😊

    Perfekter Campingplatz.
    Lovor Real Grill hat sehr gutes Essen und extrem freundlicher Service.
    Meine kleine Tochter verschüttete versehentlich gleich Ihr Getränk und Sie hat von dem freundlichen Kellner sofort ein kostenloses ohne Aufforderung nachbekommen.
    Hier kommen wir gerne wieder 😊
