“Best Value Resort at Big Laguna Beach”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 March 2011
3
people found this review helpful

This very friendly and comfortable resort is located at the far end of Big Laguna Beach .... which is not very big ... we stayed at La Laguna first for a few nights and we had a beachfront room ... this meant no privacy as the incessant and persistent hawkers and pedlars were sitting on our porch waiting for us to emerge in the morning ... we had to keep the curtain drawn so had no view ... the back wall was shared with the compressor room for the dive shop ... enough said .... the management were only interested in helping when they new we went to check other accommodations the restaurant was good and comfortable but not that cheap and the dive shop was very good ..... we moved to Campbells and ahhh the tranquility ... no passing pedestrian traffic, and an invite only admission for hawkers and pedlars .... that alone was bliss. The Scandanavian Dive Centre which is part of the resort was excellent, the food was excellent and more reasonably priced than the other place and the service was great and always done with a smile. We had a room with a large shared covered terrace on the second floor (3 floors), which was adequately comfortable and roomy but not luxury, we would have gone for the bigger slightly dearer rooms on the top floor but no roof over the terrace so no shade or rain protection .... I will definitely go back to Campbells and I note there were a few long term guests, couples staying 3 months (return customers) ... Campbells will do a good price for longer stays ... thank you Campbells, my girl friend and I loved staying with you. .... Tosh from Australia

“Great Value!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 February 2011

A great place for skin diving...hire a boat and guide (safety first) and within 1/2 hour you are in coral diving. Easy walk to restaurants and shopping. If you are looking for a tan, look no farther - pool and restaurant. Sure the place is a no frills, but I think I paid $65 a night - or less! But the real deal is the night life...

“Not What the Website Says”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 December 2010

people found this review helpful

There is a beach, but as you go to the water's edge, it gets rocky. There is no swimming anywhere to be had. There are nasty rocks everywhere. As far as snorkeling, there is none. The last typoon covered all the coral. If you want to snorkel, you have a hire a guide to take you to White Beach for 800 pecos. So much for the good deal on the room. The website talks about "cottages". We stayed in one. It is not a cottage. The "cottages" are one room units with an extra bunkbed. The bathroom is not good. There is no shower stall. You stand next to the toilet and sink and soak everything. The only positive is the staff. They were cordial.

“Nice Place. Great Views.”

Good, well priced little resort.
Nice rooms.
The manager, Shirley, is a gem and will help you with any travel needs. When the resort was short on small bills she even changed my money from her own wallet. If I owned a resort I would steal her to work for mine. She also knows most ofthe locals and can arrange tours, activities.

Penthouse rooms are nice. Views teriffic.

Price of all the rooms is well competitive.

“One of the best room views...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 November 2010

people found this review helpful

Situated on farther side and on the corner, for the price paid, the ocean view from the room was awesome. Waking up to postcard ocean views every morning was fantastic. Or for some of you, going to bed in the morning! Not too far from P.Galera town, but far enough from the rowdiness there. The bar is ok, aptly named "Fat B******s Bar" as the owner kinda looked like that character from Goldmember. Cheerful bloke. Has a small menu but enough. Was a nice stay. Will def return in near future.
