We didn't have a good time at this beach due to the excessive number of people. Additionally, the resort has a sizable camping area that utilizes the same amenities as the resort. Despite the high cost, the resort charges for every little thing, such as sunbeds by the pool and entry to the waterpark.

4 Frustrating

We stayed at the beach for approximately 6 hours, and I must say it was quite stunning with its blue flag designation. However, we were taken aback by the parking fee of 35 Euros at the Zaton resort parkplace, which was one of the priciest parking spots I've ever encountered. Unfortunately, car pampering was not included in the price 🥴. Moreover, the cost of a draft beer at one of the ordinary restaurants was simply too high at 4.10 Euros. There were numerous water attractions available, and we rented a kayak for two people for an hour, which cost us 14 Euros. Overall, the prices were excessively inflated...

The beach is a great and peaceful spot. The resort offers a variety of shops, including a supermarket. The food is satisfactory. The only downside is that the room could be larger, especially since we were traveling with a child. However, there are plenty of activities to enjoy throughout the day and even after dinner.

The beach had excellent facilities, and the pools were fantastic. We had a great time paddle boarding and using the peddelows. There was a large Plodine supermarket conveniently located nearby. The cabins were clean and comfortable. Overall, it was the perfect glamping-style holiday for the kids.
