Oh yes yes yes! What a gem! We stayed here for the last 2 nights before the campsite closed for the season, and I don’t think we would have left if it hadn’t. This family-run site is beautifully and meticulously maintained under pine trees, right on a stunning sandy beach that stretches for miles in both directions. The facilities are immaculate, reflecting the love and care invested in creating and maintaining everything. The owner, Roberto, and his family were incredibly kind and engaging, and the on-site restaurant serves delicious food. We had our best meal here - freshly caught tuna steak and salad - the chef is truly an artist! The overall vibe is fabulous. We were warmly welcomed by everyone, and Roberto made sure we had everything we needed, which was greatly appreciated as we arrived quite exhausted. Traveling by motorbike and camping, we didn’t have the luxuries of a table and chairs, but he found some for us to use. We’ve dubbed it Tuna Bay beach - definitely bookmarked as a favorite. ❤️ I can’t recommend it highly enough.
We couldn't find a spot at the popular Lido of Caminia, so we decided to try out Lido Panaja. The beach manager was very helpful and quickly found us a free spot. She also recommended the shuttle service that runs every 20 minutes between Caminia and Pietragrande's parking lot for €8. The beach was peaceful and had a beautiful sea view. The restaurant served fresh fish, but reservations were necessary. Alternatively, we could enjoy snacks like arancini, croquettes, hot dogs, pizza, sandwiches, salads, and fresh fruit salad under the umbrella. It was all perfect except for the fact that we repeatedly requested a second cot (in addition to the chair) which was initially promised but was given to other customers who arrived after us. The lady replied that they have a subscription, which is why we gave one star less.
This seaside location boasts a delightful ambiance paired with a meticulously crafted menu and an impressive selection of classic cocktails. While the staff is generally friendly and accommodating, there was a slight issue with one particular blonde server who seemed to lack intelligence. Nonetheless, the overall experience was enjoyable and satisfying.
The service at this beach is fantastic! My friends and I have visited multiple times for both lunch and dinner, and we've tried a variety of dishes including pizza, pasta, calamari, and salads. The octopus appetizer is especially delicious. Everything is made fresh and to order, and overall the food is very good.
