We thought the site sounded great in the CC brochure so turned up with high expectations one evening in late June 2016, noting that we were still in low season so should qualify for the £13.44 rate. The staff were unhelpful and appeared to deny that there was a low rate - the woman on reception wanted to charge us the equivalent of nearly £150 for 3 nignts (for 2 adults in a camper van) which was much more than we had been paying on other, better sites in Northern Spain and a lot more than the CC brochure had led us to believe. The site seemed to have little character and the pitch we were offered was little more than a parking spot in a field, with no shade. Moreover, someone had parked a car on the pitch and the staff just shrugged their shoulders. We soon decided it was not for us and luckily found an excellent alternative site a mile or so away, nearly as close to the beach, which was much better value (Las Palmeras) with staff who couldn't have been more helpful - such a contrast!
What a great site. Just spent 3 weeks there with 2 children (4 and 6) and had a great time. Certainly did not want to come back home.
The beach is great and the swimming pools lovely. There is loads to do both on site and in the surrounding area.
We weren't too keen on the on site restaurant but it was OK and certainly popular - the takeaway was great.
The toilets were the cleanest I have ever seen.
Only 2 niggles - due to our location the entertainment at night was very loud (didn't disturb the children) but finished no later than midnight and 2nd our pitch was a nightmare to get into and out of. We are a good sized outfit and once you are off the main driveway through the site it gets tight and in the end we had to unhook and with the help of a couple of other holidaymakers push the caravan down the road to our site - not the end of the world though and our pitch was beautiful. Plans to go back next year.
Can't add much to Sue and Stuart's review below - it also sums up our experience at Camping l'Amfora. In addition, having a family member with dietary requirements due to Gluten intolerance coupled with vegetarianism, this was the first site to have something other than 'frites' to offer on the menu! Very reasonable prices along with good exchange rate made this an inexpensive place to stay.
We have just returned from spending 2 weeks on this site, can honestly say it has been one of the best holidays ever. Was impressed by the cleanliness of the site, the staff were friendly and very helpful, the entertainment was excellent. I cannot fault this site at all, it is a family site with entertainment for everyone, the security was spot on considering how big the site is. I would definitely recommend this site and would certainly visit again. There is direct access to the beach which was brilliant, the shower and toilet facilities are the best I have ever seen , certainly get 5* for that. Although it can be a little noisy in the evening when the entertainment is on that stops at 12, a very relaxed holiday. There are plenty of places to visit and you don't have to travel that far. The supermarket is well stocked, but the food in the restaurant is reasonably priced, as is the takeaway. All in all an excellent holiday. You certainly wont be disappointed.
Just spent two weeks at this fantastic site,it has every thing you need and easy to get to, the pitches are large and plenty of room the toilets are excellent never been to a site with such clean toilets. All of the walk ways are sweept every day and scrubbed once a week, supermarket has all you need and quite well stocked, hopefully will be going back for longer.
Spent 2 weeks on large pitch with own bathroom. Fantastic location, with many gorgeous beaches in close vicinity, including the beach that forms part of the site. Fantastic pool area, water a little cold, lifeguard continuously on site. Great children's disco on a Friday & Saturday night. Great facilities & the site is kept immaculate. On site supermarket with a good selection including bakery & meat counter but larger supermarkets available a short drive away. Will definitely return.
Absolutely fabulous site. Great location, extremely well kept site with very good sized pitches.
Cleaning staff keep the toilet facilities spotless and deserve credit for this.
Our first time taking our caravan abroad and we spent 3 weeks at the Amfora. It has everything you need on site and is kept immaculate. Pools are fab for kids as well as adults.
Would highly recommend.
