Magnificent site. The accommodation deserves to be refreshed. The catering is very average, plentiful at the start of the stay then the portions dwindle, good management of "leftovers" in the next day's meal. Be careful with the steps: sometimes more than 200 steps between the room and the swimming pool or the restaurant.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Cerberus beach (Pyrenees-Orientales) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Cerberus beach (Pyrenees-Orientales) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Cerberus beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
