    We've been to the Valkanela a few times now, but we definitely won't be coming back!!!! There are some factors that I don't like anymore! A few years ago it wasn't so concreted over! The whole beach is artificially restructured, yes it's nice when you can get into the sea, but when there is almost no current and jellyfish feel comfortable, then it's not so funny! And the whole natural flair of a coast is lost! You should allow enough time to check in, we were there at the end of September. We stood in line for an hour and watched as 2 people behind us and 1 couple in front of us drove off again! Despite 4 rows of vacation guests, 2 receptionists calmly started to put away the dinosaur brochures! I can't recommend the grill restaurant, where I ate a Maestra salad for 14.60, which only consisted of a small plate of green strips of lettuce, 2 cocktail tomatoes, a handful of bread cubes and 1 chicken strip the size of my little finger! I honestly can't understand why nothing is being done about consumption in the 60s! And what's also quite blatant here, unfortunately, are all the dogs! I love dogs. I love animals, but some owners are not able to take the poop with them! It's really borderline disgusting when you have to be careful with every step to make sure you don't step in something! The sanitary facilities are extremely clean! A big compliment for that! And the bakery on site has the friendliest staff and the best pastries I've ever eaten! Conclusion: It was a different place 10 years ago! Much more of a camping feeling, much more green, not so overcrowded! Not so many mobile homes! I wish they would offer these two types, mobile homes and camping, at different places! And dogs and their owners in a separate area!

    Wir waren jetzt einige Male im Valkanela,werden aber definitiv nicht wiederkommen!!!! Es gibt einige Faktoren,die mir nicht mehr gefallen! Vor einigen Jahren war es noch nicht so zubetoniert! Der ganze Strand wird künstlich umstrukturiert.Ja es ist schön, wenn man gut ins Meer kann, wenn aber dann fast keine Strömung mehr ist und sich Quallen wohl fühlen,dann ist das nicht so lustig! Und es geht der ganze natürliche Flair einer Küste verloren! Für das einchecken, wir waren Ende September dort,sollte man genügend Zeit einplanen. Wir standen eine Stunde an und haben miterlebt, wie 2 hinter uns und 1 Paar vor uns wieder gefahren sind!Trotz 4 Reihen Urlaubsgäste fingen 2 Rezeptionistinnen seelenruhig an, die Dinosaurierprospekte zu verräumen! Das Grillrestaurant, wo ich einen Maestrasalat um 14,60 gegessen habe, der nur aus einem kleinen Teller grüne Streifen Salat, 2 Cocktailtomaten, eine Handvoll Semmelwürfel und 1 Hühnerstreifen,die so groß wie mein kleiner Finger war, kann ich nicht weiterempfehlen! Von dem Konsum, der 60iger Jahre ist, kann ich ehrlich nicht verstehen,wieso da nichts gemacht wird! Und was leider hier auch ziemlich krass ist, sind die vielen Hunde! Ich liebe Hunde. Ich liebe Tiere, aber manche Herrchen sind nicht in der Lage, das Häufchen mitzunehmen ! Das ist echt grenzwertig und ekelhaft, wenn man bei jedem Schritt aufpassen muss, ob man nicht wo hineinsteigt! Die Sanitäranlagen sind extrem sauber! Dafür ein großes Lob! Und die Bäckerei am Platz hat die freundlichsten Mitarbeiter und die besten Mehlspeisen die ich je gegessen hab! Fazit: Es war vor 10 Jahren ein anderer Platz! Viel mehr Campingfeeling,viel mehr grün, nicht so überrannt! Nicht soviele Mobilheime! Ich würde mir wünschen, dass man diese zwei Arten ,Mobilheime und Camping an verschiedenen Plätzen anbieten würde! Und Hunde samt Besitzer in einem eigenen Areal!

    Our mobile home, right next to the pool and sea/harbor was great. All the staff from reception to the cleaning staff were friendly and courteous. The site is beautiful and spacious. The washroom/toilet blocks on the site are super clean, friendly, bright and well lit in the evening. A lot has been renovated/changed on the site. Gladly again.

    Unser Mobilheim, in direkter Nähe zum Pool und Meer/Hafen war super. Alle Mitarbeiter von der Rezeption bis zum Reinigungspersonal waren freundlich und zuvorkommend. Anlage schön und weitläufig. Die Wasch-/Toilettenhäuser auf dem Platz sind super sauber, freundlich, hell und Abends gut beleuchtet. Es wurde viel auf der Anlage erneuert/verändert. Gern wieder.
