2 Very poor

The customer service at this beach is subpar, as many of the staff members are impolite and struggle with speaking English. The food options at the buffet are disappointing, with some dishes appearing unappetizing and unappealing, such as the pizza which resembled vomit. Despite wanting to dine at the restaurant, the staff refused to accommodate the request, claiming it would not be open until 8 PM, even though others were already being served. Additionally, visitors must pay for a beach ticket, which is understandable, but they are also charged for using the shower to rinse off the saltwater. On a positive note, the quality of the water is exceptional, although this is not due to anything the establishment has done.

4 Frustrating

The beach offers a pleasant and cozy atmosphere, but the prices seem exorbitant in comparison to the actual amenities provided. To our dismay, we discovered that despite purchasing tickets, we were still required to pay extra for the use of the toilets and showers. However, what was particularly disconcerting was the fact that we paid for entrance, yet were given subpar sunbeds in a less desirable location than those given to the friends of a staff member who entered without paying. Shockingly, we observed approximately 12 individuals who managed to bypass full payment and gain access to the private beach by slipping 15 euros into the pocket of the staff member. It's unfortunate that we were not privy to this information earlier, as it would have saved us from wasting 25 euros. If you do decide to visit this lovely private beach, it's worth noting that you can obtain better sunbeds at a lower cost by offering a bribe.
