Disappointing from Sandaya

The positives - the location is great. Right on the breach with beautiful views and direct access. The site has a relaxed vibe and is in a easy cycling distance of the nearby town. The negatives- we were camping- the pitches are really small. They've clearly tried to ram as many in as possible- whilst this might sound predictable the other Sandaya sites we stayed at have been much better. Looking at some of the pitches you would be very disappointed if you'd gone all that way- some are tiny with no privacy at all. Our pitch was quite a good size, but clearly on what used to be a traffic roundabout with roads/tracks circling the pitch. The electric hookup was about 50m away, which lead to an interesting debate with reception who ultimately did resolve it with the load of a long extension cable (ours was only 20m!). By far the biggest issue was the toilet blocks. They weren't cleaned enough and absolutely stank. The toilets were mixed sex, but the male urinals blocked and flooded which resulted in all toilets being used for everyone. Shouldn't be a massive problem but does lead to the inevitable urine over the toilet seats (I'm assuming that's boys at night who can't aim). The toilet roll dispensers weren't big enough either, so would often run out over night. The met result was by the morning you have to try a find a toilet with roll that isn't covered in urine. Showers were a mixed bag. Typically they would produce hot water but it could take a few minutes to come through and typically the blue/red markers don't have any correlation to hot/cold water. Be prepared to spend a long time tying to get a warm shower. Overall though it was ok, if really for the beach access. Disappointing for a sandaya though. I'd certainly be upset at some of the pitches.
