Camping Bayona Playa

Overall a lovely holiday in the Cies bungalows. Campsite is impeccably clean as are all the service blocks, they seem to have someone constantly cleaning them. The location is absolutely ideal, it’s a 40 minute walk into the old town in Baiona, we did try to get a taxi a couple of times but they didn’t seem to be plentiful. Views from the bungalows are outstanding and I spent a long time gazing at the Cies islands being reminded of the Skelligs back home. The Galicians are a friendly bunch but we did find we struggled occasionally as not many people speak English. The bar and restaurant have fantastic views also but bear in mind they stop serving food at certain times of the day, dinner available from 8.30pm. Service can be slow as they don’t seem to have enough staff on. Food is fine but restaurants in the port would be nicer so worth making the trip there. The breakfast is nice and good value. Reception staff could be friendlier, I found them to be very officious and smiles were not plentiful. The mobile/bungalow itself was very modern and well planned. Two ring hob, microwave oven, small dishwasher, large fridge freezer, usb sockets in bedrooms. King size bed in master but mattress not brilliant. Aircon worked fine but we didn’t need it while we were there. Could do with a few more hooks for towels etc and a larger coffee pot. Our kids loved the stand up paddle boards you could rent. €15 for one hour. Better to get them at full tide and you can paddle out to the estuary. The beach itself is clean and water clear. When the tide is out you can nearly walk over to the headland across from the beach. Good beach for serious swimmers, saw lots of them with their tows pulling behind them. Pool really only suitable for kids messing about. Can’t really swim properly in it but our kids loved the slide and spent hours on it. Would really recommend the campsite as a great base for exploring this beautiful area.

This campsite is superb! Lovely restaurant on site with great food. Shop is well stocked too. Staff in reception friendly enough not too much english speaking tho.only a few mins walk from the beach. Local town has lovely restaurants and lots to see with a lovely Castle walk both inside and out. Great cycling paths too in this area. We highly recommend this campsite. Not too expensive either with a lovely swimming pool.

I would live here the whole year in the bungalow I had. All the staff was nice, from the people at the reception to the cleaning and maintenance staff. The beach around the peninsula is the dream and the water is amazing.
