Nice friendly campsite, almost completely in the shade. Close to good beaches and very popular with Spanish families. It was a bit noisy at weekends due to the cafe del mar nightclub nearby. Torre del mar is a nice resort with lots of places to eat and within easy walking distance of the site.

Site well situated close to town. Shady and relaxed. Easy walk or cycle. Shop open but not well stocked. Good swimming pool. Bar and restaurant open. Quiet site. Toilets etc being renovated. Beware sticky yellow flowers falling off trees in late April and impossible to remove from clothes and chairs. Very good free wi-fi.

We stayed here in October and found the facilities very good and the staff helpful. The weather was not kind but the site is well drained and has ample water points and refuse bins. This helps in bad weather. Nicely situated on the beach and walking distance from town centre. Will use again

Our initial reaction to this site was it was like a travellers' camp. The pitches were large but no money has been wasted on landscaping.

The staff were friendly and helpful (especially when we had to move pitch due to an infestation of blackflies)

The ground was very hard, so "tenters" beware, you will need hard ground pegs.

The washing up facilities were 50% cold water only and 50% mixed.

Our first night was a Saturday night and very noisy. My wife asked the Spanish family next door to keep it down at 1.30 and there were young lads driving round in cars blaring loud music well after that. The disco in Torre del Mar could be heard as a bass thump for most of the night.

Laguna Playa was a grey dust beach and it was about 1km to the Paseo Maritimo which was beautiful for an evening stroll.

WiFi is free but restricted to one device per pitch.

There is a pool but you have to take your own chairs as there are no sunbeds

We would have moved on after one night, but had places to visit in the area ( I can recommend Velez-Malaga itself)

My advice is don't bother as I don't know why this is a category one site!

We stayed here August 2012 for a week, there was no English people there but all the spanish were very friendly, the toilets showers were cleaned all the time, the pool is small and was over crowded, there was a restaurant but we didn't eat there so can't comment on that, the town is ok, the sites on the beach, would recommend as a stop over site or a quiet place to stay, I would go again if travelling through area

Staying at this campsite 5 weeks in March. Very friendly Staff/Owners, nothing too much trouble. Very refreshing to be made so welcome on a Spanish site. Very clean showers, plenty of hot water all round. Handy for shops/bars. Good walking on front. Would be the only site I would stay at if we return South. Would like to thank Staff and Owners for very pleasant stay. Most of all Pepe is a hard working star. Thank you all.

Wash-basins too narrow and taps with bad maintenance. Few toilets in comparison with the numbers of people.
Ground of plots badly levelled.
Smell from sewers.
Many dogs bothering.

We travelled in late August and therefore the reservation wasn't required. The staff was exceptional, offering loads of information about any facilities in town and in the surrounding area.
Cleanliness was at a very high level and the local supermarket was stocked regurarly and offered high range of products.

We stayed here in July 2010, mainly Spanish but we really enjoyed our 7 night stay, didnt want to leave, nice beach, resort is quite quiet, no roudy bars, family place, not too far from malaga etcetera, quiet at night, cleaners always keeping place very clean, quite a nice place, not for young party type, families and couples great, recomended
