Info
Summary of reviewsCamping Resort-Bungalow Park Mas Patoxas offers a highly praised experience for visitors, situated conveniently close to the medieval town of Pals and the charming village of Begur. This location provides an excellent base for exploring Costa Brava’s beautiful beaches and hidden coves with many guests appreciating the short drive to local attractions and historical sites. Despite its proximity to a busy road and the need for a car for full exploration, the campsite's quiet environment, combined with well-maintained on-site facilities such as clean pools and a handy mini-supermarket, makes it a favorite among regular visitors.
Dining at the resort generally receives positive feedback with the restaurant's offerings, particularly the seafood paella and pizzas, being well-regarded. Guests note a satisfactory quality-price ratio, although some meals were considered expensive. The on-site supermarket's early closing time and limited selection of essential items were minor drawbacks.
Accommodation at the resort is a mixed bag. While the nature tents and glamping options are comfortable and well-maintained, many bungalows and mobile homes fall short, often described as old and in need of modern renovations. Issues like minimal kitchenware, small room sizes and the absence of air conditioning in some units were common complaints. However, the friendliness of the atmosphere and proximity of facilities generally provided a pleasant stay for short trips.
Cleanliness at the resort is inconsistent. The common areas, including pools and sanitary facilities, are frequently praised for being well-maintained and clean, meeting hotel standards. However, the cleanliness of the bungalows often disappoints with reports of dirt, dust and infestations detracting from the overall quality.
The staff at Mas Patoxas receive predominantly positive reviews for their friendliness and professionalism. The reception and maintenance teams, along with lifeguards and animators like Lluís and Olga, enhance the guest experience. However, occasional miscommunications and lapses in professionalism at the cafeteria and bar are noted.
WiFi services at the resort are a significant area for improvement. Guests frequently report poor or non-existent internet and mobile phone reception with paid WiFi proving inadequate and costly. This inconvenience is compounded by a lack of 4G coverage, frustrating visitors who rely on mobile data.
The resort’s pool facilities shine as a standout feature. Two large, clean pools cater to different preferences with one ideal for fitness and the other, a newly constructed leisure pool, suited for children. The pools are praised for their cleanliness, safety and engaging elements such as slides and play areas, making them highly appreciated by families. Despite occasional early shutdowns of water slides and slippery pool floors, the overall pool experience is positive and memorable.
For accessibility, the resort scores well, particularly for those with mobility impairments. Facilities and amenities are accommodating and user-friendly, though the reliance on a car for accessing the town remains a minor issue. Medical services and friendly, communicative staff add to the ease of mobility and comfort for all guests.
In conclusion, while Camping Resort-Bungalow Park Mas Patoxas has certain areas requiring improvement, particularly in accommodation quality, WiFi services and some aspects of cleanliness, the overall experience remains positive. Its prime location, excellent pool facilities and friendly staff contribute significantly to its appeal, making it a favored destination for a varied and fulfilling holiday in Costa Brava. Show more

Rooms
At Camping Resort-Bungalow Park Mas Patoxas, guests appreciate a mix of well-maintained facilities and cozy accommodations. The nature tents and the glamping options receive high praise for their standards and comfort. Many bungalows are noted to be comfortable and equipped for basic needs, contributing to a pleasant stay. However, a recurring theme among reviews is the lack of air conditioning, which can make the bungalows quite hot during the day, especially during summer.
The mobile homes and bungalows, though clean and well-kept in some cases, are generally described as old and outdated. Several guests mention issues like small room sizes, aging furniture and a need for modern renovations. There is also a noted presence of ants and some units have unpleasant odors. Although some bungalows are spacious and come with necessary cooking and cleaning amenities, others are critiqued for their minimal kitchenware and poor maintenance.
Despite these drawbacks, the friendly atmosphere and close proximity of facilities manage to make stays enjoyable for short trips. Bedding can sometimes be lacking or worn-out, but this is often clearly specified before booking. Overall, while there are areas that could use improvement and modernization, the camping resort offers a convenient and functional stay, especially for those planning brief getaways.
Beds
At "Camping Resort-Bungalow Park Mas Patoxas," the bed experiences vary widely according to guest reviews. While some guests found the beds to be super comfortable and the bedding quite satisfactory, a significant number of reviewers mentioned several issues regarding the quality and comfort of the beds and bedding. Many guests commented that the mattresses were thin, old and in need of replacement with some describing them as excessively soft or sinking in the middle. Complaints about narrow and creaking beds were also frequent with several noting that the bedding and towels could use an update. There were also remarks about the uncomfortable and uneven nature of foam mattresses with some guests even reporting allergic reactions seemingly linked to the bedding.

However, the bungalows present a contrasting picture. Multiple reviews point out that the bungalows are old and some are quite dirty upon arrival. Specific issues mentioned include dirt under beds, poorly mopped floors, dust in various areas, humidity and in some cases, infestations of ants, bed bugs and even cockroaches. This disparity between the cleanliness of the common areas and the bungalows leads to varied guest experiences with many recommending improved and more consistent cleaning standards for the accommodations.
In summary, while the park and its shared facilities maintain a high level of cleanliness and are well-regarded, the bungalows themselves often fall short, needing more attention and updates to meet guest expectations uniformly.
