We paid the same for this spot as the others, though we were dealt a bad hand. Wouldn't stay there again, though there are many other campsites in Bilene which I...

Calamari was overcooked to epic levels. Sent it back and got another fish instead, as that was the best dish we'd had. Still charged for the calamari. When I asked to speak to the manager, the waiter simply said no I can't and walked away... 🤔. Prawns also very mediocre. Much better places to spend your day further up top of the lagoon. Pity, as aesthetically its a lovely and very...
