Dinner
However, not all feedback was glowing. Several guests noted the limited variety of dishes, particularly in terms of vegetables and grilled meats. There were multiple complaints about the quality of the food with instances of pizzas being defrosted and other meals being described as pre-cooked and of poor quality. Additionally, some diners found the pricing, especially for items such as frozen pizza, to be excessive.
Communication seems to be an issue at the restaurant, especially for English-speaking guests and the operating hours are a concern for some with the kitchen closing quite early around 3:15 pm. Despite these drawbacks, for those content with the offerings, the combination of decent food and fair pricing made the restaurant a worthwhile dining option at the campsite.
Rooms
However, some accommodations, especially the smaller bungalows, face criticism for being cramped, outdated and lacking in necessary storage space. The cleanliness levels have been inconsistent with reports of ants, spider webs and occasional musty smells. Bathrooms and beds tend to be on the smaller side with many guests finding them uncomfortable. Issues such as broken furniture, clogged showers and intermittent water heaters have been mentioned, indicating that maintenance and renovations are needed.
The mobile homes, while often described as spacious and new, sometimes fall short in comfort due to their aging interiors and proximity to noisy train tracks. Specific concerns include tiny, uncomfortable beds, lack of proper ventilation and inadequate space for larger groups.
Despite these drawbacks, the serene and well-maintained outdoor areas, complete with nice terrace spaces, add a touch of charm and comfort to the stay. The reception staff receive high marks for their service, contributing to a positive guest experience overall.

Overall, the bedding situation at Camping Estival Vendrell Platja suggests room for improvement. Updating and standardizing the mattresses and bed sizes could significantly enhance the comfort and satisfaction of future guests.

There is a children's play area and facilities that provide ample entertainment, contributing to an overall family-friendly atmosphere.
However, the indoor pool and some parts of the pool area have received criticism for being outdated or less appealing.

Despite some reports of tight parking spaces and difficult navigation within the campsite, the overall sentiment leans towards convenience with ample parking next to the camping areas and free, private options available.
However, some find it inconvenient that parking cannot always be right next to the bungalows, which makes luggage unloading less straightforward. Additionally, there are isolated complaints about the unfriendly staff managing the parking areas and the difficulty of parking around certain parts of the campsite due to annoying curbs or sloping terrain. Despite these minor drawbacks, the free and guarded parking options remain a significant plus for many guests, offering peace of mind and ease during their stay.
