My stay at the camp was quite disheartening due to the substandard accommodation and hidden costs. While the beach was lovely, I was taken aback by the steep walk to the area and the overall pricing of the amenities. The staff's attitude also left much to be desired. All in all, I won't be returning to this place.

I had an incredible time at this camping site, offering a great variety of activities from swimming pools to water sports. The facilities are extensive and well-maintained, making it an enjoyable stay for all ages. However, the cost is higher than a regular campsite, which might be a concern for some. The accommodations could also pose space and safety issues for larger families.

We stayed in a 2-bedroom premium chalet, but it felt cramped for five people, especially with the pull-out sofa bed obstructing the dining area. A more accurate description of the capacity would be appreciated.

While the staff were generally helpful, there were some oversights regarding furniture removal despite acknowledging the safety hazard, which was disappointing.

The facilities are outstanding with swimming pools, a dog-friendly beach, and various shops and eateries within easy reach. However, the high volume of guests can sometimes detract from the experience.

We had an enjoyable time at Lanterna with our family, especially the kids who loved the pool area and activities. The campsite is large and offers plenty of options, but be prepared for some extra costs, especially for amenities like sun loungers and food. While the restaurants were mostly good, some pricing felt excessive, which took away from the overall experience. Overall, it was a great family destination, but with some room for improvement in terms of clarity on charges.

The location is fantastic for families, with easy access to pools and the beach, though it was a bit overwhelming given the size of the site.

Dining options were varied, and while the Oliva Grill had great meals at reasonable prices, some other places felt overpriced and lacking in quality.

Facilities were generally solid, but the extra charges for things like sun loungers and the saltwater pool were disappointing. The kids enjoyed the inflatable lagoon and pedal boats, but again, there were costs associated.

Our stay at the resort was nearly perfect, with a fantastic mobile home close to the sea and a beautiful campsite. The facilities were great for families, especially the sports ground. However, the waterpark was too crowded for comfort, particularly the smaller pools, which detracted from our experience. It's a shame because everything else was lovely.

Our stay at the Punto Blu part of the camp was simply amazing. The mobile home was small yet charming, incredibly clean, and had the additional delight of thoughtful welcome gifts. The pool area offered stunning sea views while the staff were exceptionally warm and helpful. However, the dining experience at Marbello Premium Village left us frustrated due to its exorbitant prices for basic items and lack of free amenities, which felt overly commercialized. Overall, the location and atmosphere of Punto Blu outweighed the negatives of our experience at Marbello.
