Camping Village Baia Blu La Tortuga

“Great camp, so much potential, but slightly dull.”

We stayed for 1 week with eurocamp in a standard lodge. The lodge was spotless on arrival and had everything we needed. However on our first day, there had been a power cut so we had to wait for this to come back on. This also meant the pool had to be closed on this day too. We were able to go to t… more

We stayed for 1 week with eurocamp in a standard lodge. The lodge was spotless on arrival and had everything we needed. However on our first day, there had been a power cut so we had to wait for this to come back on. This also meant the pool had to be closed on this day too. We were able to go to the beach instead but high winds meant the sea was really rough and we couldn’t swim in there either. The pool was open the rest of the time but it only opens 11:00 - 18:00 which I felt is a short time. You also have to wear swimming caps in the pool which we had to buy there. There’s also no loungers round the pool so be prepared to sit on the grass. There’s only 1 small shop on site and it doesn’t stock loads of choice, it was sufficient enough for a few nights but we got bored with lack of choice. There’s a pizza restaurant on site which were really good to be fair, we didn’t try anything else. There’s also an ice cream place which again was really good and a beach bar which does amazing cocktails, the mai tai’s were lovely. We ended up eating at a restaurant on the beach called Jatika, about 5 min walk, a coupe of times. The food was really good in there and the service was friendly. Apart from ‘mini club’, ‘baby dance’ and a good playground, we found there wasn’t much else going on at this place. The only other activities were watersports which cost a fortune. To say it’s in the middle of nowhere this is a massive shame. It’s definitely not lovely as described on eurocamp site. If you want a peaceful relaxing holiday in the forest and by the beach then this place is lovely. I would not return because we found it quite boring. Maybe if we had a car then we would explore the island a bit further. We normally like to hire bikes but we didn’t see anywhere to do this either. Everything is mega expensive here too, restaurant prices and shop prices.

Overall a pleasant family stay in a decent camping house (Baia Lux) but given the price and 4 star ranking I would have expected higher quality of food offer (1 restaurant in camping is good only for pizza, other meals especially fish of really low level plus location and furniture is also not great - all plastic) and facilities (kids play area is ok but would need some renovation / same as sport facilities very old). Staff is great and friendly. Swimming pools are very new and nice but lack of free sitting areas oblige to stay on grass or pay to rent sun beds for the whole day, not ideal given we usually like to spend only some hours there the rest being at sea. Sea in front of camping: nice and clean but almost no sand only little stones and deep in few meters, so ideal for snorkeling or water sports not small kids or walks on the beach. Camping houses are too close to each other, not much space. Outside camping not much to do without long drives. Check in/out timings are also not ideal (after 17/before 9).

“Nice spot, wouldn’t return”

We visited the campsite as a family of 5 for 4 nights at the end of August. Pros: - nice location, just by the beach - there are plenty of different facilities that families will enjoy, games room, play park and a good pool complex - beach bar is lovely Cons: - there is NO shade around the pool a… more

We visited the campsite as a family of 5 for 4 nights at the end of August. Pros: - nice location, just by the beach - there are plenty of different facilities that families will enjoy, games room, play park and a good pool complex - beach bar is lovely Cons: - there is NO shade around the pool and if you want a sun bed you have to pay €15 (I’ve been to loads of campsites around Europe and we’ve never had to pay for a sunbed in over 10 years) You aren’t allowed to take your own umbrella or sunshade either - you have to pay a ‘Clubcard’ fee of €1.50 per day per person for the animation and facilities even if you don’t use them - not optional - there is NO toilet paper or soap in the campsite toilets (not very COVID friendly!) - campsite shop and restaurant extortionate prices eg - €17 euros for a plate of pasta in the restaurant/ €5.90 for a 4 box of cornetto style ice creams On the whole, we wouldn’t return or recommend even though the location was nice.
