Pros +
- - The camp is lovely, it's well organized and provides plenty of activities for the whole family.- The pine forest provides shade to counter the mediterranean summer heat. Considering the weather forecast, I was pretty sure I would suffer without air conditioning, but it proved to be almost no problem at all.- The staff is attentive and promptly reacted and resolved an issue we had when we arrived.- You get four meals per day, and I can guarantee you won't leave any of them hungry.- Reserving activities (SUP, kayak, archery etc) is easy and straightforward and we managed to try everything we had interest in.
- The location is very nice situated in a pine Forrest next to the beach. The food was good.
- Lots of activities, beach is very nice, food is delicious , very helpful staff
Cons -
- Food gets a bit repetitive after a few days (I appreciate the challenges of having to prepare meals for at least a thousand people day after day, but still..), and the vegetarian options are especially basic - they could benefit from adding a vegetarian chef to the staff and have them involved in meal planning / procurement as well as execution. A lot more can be done with what they had at their disposal, but you could kind of tell that there wasn't anybody there who has a bit more experience with vegetarian / vegan cooking.My wife has health-related food restrictions around protein so we have a lot of vegetarian staples at home. And while she was able to find options for herself and didn't go hungry, there weren't many dishes that she found enjoyable...
- The concept is interesting but there is room for improvement especially regarding cleaning in the shared bathrooms and showers. Also in the huts. I understood there is not much to be done but it was dusty and full of spider webs.
- Very few power outlets, restrooms are far from beach cabins, mosquitoes

It was our second stay at this place (the first one was in 2023), and the property again fulfilled all our expectations. Food, sports, beach, and weather — everything was as one can wish for.If you like SCUBA diving, a dive center is only 800m away, near Pakostane marina: Nadji Laguna.
One group of kids (ZPK) was rather annoying during the second week of our stay. It's not the resort's fault, but they might pay more attention to placement to maintain some separation between the groups and the rest of the guests. It should be mentioned that several other groups were fine and didn't create any problems, so it's likely to be just an unfortunate exception.
(+) The activities are almost all (with very few exceptions) included in the price, and you can use them as often as you want. Often in all inclusive hotels you have a cap or have to register for activities multiple days in advance. Here, you can do the activitites as often as you want, and there are usually enough resources available. They are not skimming on anyone. Definitely the highlight. (+) The same goes for food. The meals offer a lot variety, ranging from healthy options to fast food to soups, etc. You will never encounter a meal being sold out. This is a huge constrast to other places, where the good meals are finished after minutes. Very tasty and varied food and beverage options for everyone. Once again, they are not skimming on anyone or anything. (+) No Wifi in the cabins means you can truly disconnect and emjoy the facilities, which, on top of the activities and the sea, you can walk and explore. Overall, a very great stay and definitely a recommendation. Like any other places, it is not perfect, but the experience is much better than average. We look forward to visiting the place again in the future.
(-) The hotel does not offer medical assistance or is interested in helping more than doing the bare minimum. We got a torn stuck which is not major, but painful and if not dealt with, can escalate. We asked the hotel for assistance and their "medical representative" told us he could not see anything, so told us to take care of it ourselves. They gave us a needle and no further instructions than to go to our room and deal with it ourselves. The medical guy was definitely more concerned with playing ping pong than helping. (-/+) Needs Improvement(-/+) There was a day where there was a huge party and the music was extremely loud until late in the might, even after 2am. In the cabins, you can hear it like it is next door. However, we called the reception and they told us it was outside, and at least cared for their guests. In future, hotel could pre inform, or offer ear plugs, etc. (-/+) The contact with each worker is very different. Do not expect smiles. Very few are nice and customer oriented. The majority come off as very tired and sometimes annoyed or passive agressive. This might have to do with the long summer and the repetitive tasks that come with the service industry. This is an advice for management to look into and plan their human resources fairly, so that all workers do not have their energy used up.
We love this place. It has a lot of activites, nice beach.
Staff is not satasfied with their position and claims it outloud.
Really uniqe place, if you are fed up with classic apartman holidays with hunting for restaurants and shops in the city and rather just want to stay in one place then it is perfect, several beaches, great food, comfortable beds in the bungalows, great programs for the kids.Great animators.
Reception staff was unfriendly, and seemingly waited for the end of the season. Very UNSAFE some parts. Its advertised as a child paradise, but it is extremely dangerous due to the lots of rocks everywhere, deep drop offs without fences, very-very slippery algae covered concrete surfaces at the sandy beach, which is full of sharp big rocks, which would be only a days work to remove all with hand, also the removal of algae would be possible. Also at the top north area kids could fall between those carved out rocks, and there is no barrier or table notifying for danger. Also rocks in the middle of walking paths, which could be easily demolished if there would be determination for it. I strongly suggest a Health and Safety audit for the whole camp site. Also written information materials are outdated and not containing all things needed. Application does not work. All things has to be booked at the reception, which is a shame for example at the kajaks, as reception is 10 minutes walk from there and they could just check in a shared file whether there is a free one or not on the spot. Kids club was closed whole day when we wanted to go.
We liked the place. It was fun.
Got food poisoning and ended up in the ER. Resort took 0 responsibility. Ate there for 3 days straight, we did not leave the resort at any moment.
I liked the beach and I liked the food. The staff was helpfull
I didn't like the houses, since they have lots of bugs(spiders).
Great price for accommodation activities food and drinks
No fan in huts so very difficult to sleep at night as too hot
Fantastic location, plenty of water sports, great surrounding area to explore too. Gorgeous food and friendly staff. Thank you, Pine Beach is a family favourite
Closer to nature, with wonderful food, wide range of free activities and amazing bar with views to die for. Our 5th time here and we plan to go again next year.
Location,food
the sanitary block cleannesses. The shower and toaletes were not very clean
Food, beach, activities
Pillows are bad, water is cold/hot while showering
Beautiful nature, clean sea, natural shades on the beach, both sandy and rocky beach available, plenty of sunbeds available, various sports and entertainment activities available for no additional charge, very very good and various foods and drinks.
Sanitary block could have been cleaner, especially the one near the bungalows where camp staff was placed. We noticed that that sanitary block, unlike others, was cleaned and used by non-local staff. We have nothing against non-local staff but the locals are much more professional and doing their job better then their non-local peers. Overall cleanliness in the restaurant is amazing, but glasses which were obviously taken out from dishwasher were mostly appearing to be dirty, though this is probably not the real dirt but some smutges resulting from the washing (a bit wierd). It is great that there is a surf/sailing center, but the offer of wind surf boards and sails could have been better.

Cleanliness of men toilet, not so good smell, very dark toilets during day, beach toilet cleanliness
Staff, beach, facilities
There are no tags what meat is in the meals in most cases, and for breakfast ham, salamy all is pork.
In our short stay my partner and i got food poisoning
Not properly cleaned (chewing gums from previous customers, sand on the floor, cobwebs)
We loved the food and the services such as kayaking and suping
We would like our little houses to be better insulated or closed as we got a lot of bugs trough the holes between the wall and the floor which are meant to be there as it is a hut but still just a net would keep bugs away such as scorpions which we got in our bed. Luckily it was the bed we were not sleeping in and we got poisonous bug spray at the reception. Free of charge. Ps. Scorpions are not deadly they just sting like a wasp but still not a great experience to find one
Exelent beach for child. Very fine food. Very nice vacations. I bealive we might go again.
Sometimes some toilets and showers were not that clean.
