  Positive aspects include the location and relaxed atmosphere. The pool has convenient opening hours and there's a cafeteria. However, some negative points include: - poor hygiene in the bathrooms (moldy curtains, many lost items piled up and not cleaned, no soap, dirty shower walls) - During our two-night stay, we had trouble sleeping because of groups of very rude people who were singing, shouting, and disturbing others. Furthermore, the campsite staff never asked them to lower the volume. Even though it was a youth hostel, the disruptive groups were adults.

  Club Hipocampo isn't located at the location indicated on Maps, but it's well signposted. Reservations weren't possible, which is quite risky for a group of 17 young people. We still managed to get our three six-bed rooms. The rooms are quite run-down, and the bathrooms are in a bad state, but the campsite's restrooms are surprisingly nice and clean. The food is okay, with a Spanish/spartan breakfast served at exciting times. The staff is very accommodating, and the pool area is actually quite decent. The crowd is quite interesting; you can't be picky. For our purposes (youth camp, two-day stay), it was sufficient.

  It's not a campsite, it's a camping area with toilets. Packed with groups of French teenagers in August, they monopolize the space and make a racket until well past midnight with loud music everywhere. It doesn't seem like anyone in charge is concerned about the campers' well-being, least of all the monitors for the French groups. It feels more like a holiday camp with "permission" to camp and use the toilets for €11. Plus, there's no drinking water. The water temperature isn't regulated; sometimes you want a cold shower and it comes out hot, and vice versa. It's more like a French beach bar than Mallorca. For everyone (including these 100 French campers) and the "outsiders," there are two sinks and four showers. For what you pay, it's pretty basic, but maybe in August there's no other option.
