Village & Camping la Foce

The photos look great, but the reality is very different. The whole place is very run-down badly kept. The ground everywhere is just dusty dirt with weeds interspersed and there's isn't even a paved path to the pool so you have to walk through the dirt to get to it. The pool itself is in poor condition; the plastic liner is torn and bunched up in so many places and the water is not adequately cleaned. The slides are great, but the big slides are only turned on for an hour twice a day (no signs to tell you this - you have to ask the lifeguards). There was a DJ at the pool that blasted music at a horrendously loud volume every day (you couldn't hear someone talking right beside you) and he seemed to have no regard for the people at the pool - he was more interested in impressing the other staff members. There was also very loud music played at the stage area most evenings - I honestly don't know how people in the restaurant could sit there with the noise - we were in a mobile home far away from it and it was loud even there. The cover charge in the restaurant was €3 per person (including children) which was way more than we had experienced elsewhere in Sardinia and mainland Italy. And the washing machine cos about €8 for a single run! There was definitely a feeling of the whole place being run by teenagers - it was all very unprofessional. I complained about the music at night multiple times (it was still blaring after midnight) but nothing was ever done about it. Some other things: the boat to the beach only runs every hour, so that's not the most convenient. If you read some of the more recent 5 star reviews in Italian you will see that they are quite suspicious and look like they are written by staff of the hotel - they are all 2-3 sentences praising specific aspects of the property - exactly like you would read in a brochure. Don't believe them. This is an ok property - we didn't have a bad time here, but we definitely wouldn't go back. It's not up to a minimum standard in my opinion, even considering the price; there are much better places out there. It's a pity, because it has a lot of potential if some investment was made and if it was run properly.
