a magnificent hotel in a luxurious location. I love it)

I was travelling alone and decided to stay at Camyuva for 9 days. Although l was alone, l always felt at home. Everything was very well organized. Eve the time-schedule of sport-freaks was very well planned. It`s not possible to get bored due to many sport evebts as well as again very well organized entertainments during the day and at night. Another great part is atmosphere is really great, which makes it possible to get to know many people from different countries and cultures. I will be visiting Camyuva again certainly very soon.

The gardens are beautifully maintained and very pleasant. The resort is of good size and the rooms are well situated so that no night time noice can be heard in the room.

Majority of staff is on the verge of unfriendliness, as if the guests are a nuisance. Also there is not enough staff during meal times to provide good service with the COVID-19 measures, instead of serving clients their priority and attention is on other tasks then clients. Also information about how the resort and all it's facilities function is delivered in a scattered way and not clear at all. The application that is supposed to have the information is basically useless as it doesn't contain any valuable info about the resort. The way one must reserve a sun or daybed is ridiculous given the price of this all inclusive enterprise, there should be enough sun beds that a client doesn't have to think about having to reserve one. The image the resort tries to make and the reality is far away. The all inclusive package is not worth the cost, it is better to pay especially for drinks and get the quality rather than a very limited choice of poor quality.

Let me start of by saying that this was a bit of an experiment for me, since the Dutch aren’t really known for ‘Club Urlaube’ and I am usually a bit more adventurous. But since I was looking for a place where I could do sports, enjoy good food and maybe do some dancing, I ended up booking the Robinson Club Camyuva for 5 nights. It was quite an experience, and hopefully without boring the reader, I will try to sum up all the pros and cons (in my humble opinion of course). Pros: - Wonderful location with enough sun beds on the beach and around the pool (which I didn’t use once, since the seawater is just lovely in July). - Perfect sports program that fit all my needs. - Very friendly staff and especially ‘Robins’ who sincerely seem to enjoy talking to the guests and having fun with them. - Incredible food; more than one could wish for. Lot’s of variation and enough healthy options to stay in shape while doing your sports program. - Entertainment program thought through very well and lot’s of eye for detail. The restaurant changes looks according to the theme and on Turkish night, dinner and entertainment is along the beach. - Options for dancing every evening and if you have a quiet room (which I asked for and got in the 400 block), you can escape the noise if you wish to do so. - Overall friendly and ‘non obnoxious guests’ who mingle easily. All in all a great 5 days. If I would go again, I would definitely make sure I would either go with a friend or make arrangements in the same period my newly acquired ‘Klicke’ would go; that does definitely make a difference. One more note: I am fluent in German, which comes in very handy in this German speaking club. Other languages are definitely note spoken automatically.

Cons - The mingling also has a con. Since there are only large tables for 8 (some for 6), you always sit together with other guests at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Of course this will help you get in touch with people when you travel alone (like I did), but at the same time there is no way to escape the social interaction. Forced to socialize, you can feel a bit lost when you first get there, because it can seem that many people know each other already. - As a matter of fact that is actually the case, since many guests have been coming there for years and know each other. Because of this, the ‘real’ solo traveler is somewhat of a different species at the Robinson Club Camyuva, since most solo travelers might go there alone, however are welcomed by their social warm bath once they get there. As a ‘first-timer’ you do indeed feel like an outsider at first and if you have some challenges socializing, you might have difficulty finding a group to be part of. The club does organize single/solo traveler gatherings every evening at the bar, so that’s nice if you need some help getting in contact with others. Doing sports, especially volleyball, will help you with this also! - The party aspect of the club is good and you can dance every night. The music is ok, however in my opinion there needs to be more variation in music styles. Also, after a couple of nights it gets a bit boring that the same playlist seems to be played over and over. I have heard many guests complain about this aspect and also read it in the reviews before I went. I feel the club does have some work to do there. - My biggest con is the fact that many people (of all age groups) really seem to be there, not only to let their hair down and have some fun, but to hook up with other guests as fast and even as much as possible. It made me feel a bit uncomfortable interacting with men, because quite a few did indeed seem to have a different agenda than I did.
