Among the equipment that holidaymakers are most satisfied with operationally, unlike primitive camping conditions, each accommodation unit features a sparkling clean indoor bathroom and uninterrupted hot water infrastructure.

The most attractive aspect of the facility is that guests can freely spend time with a sea view in designated green areas without disturbing the surroundings.
However, there are some warnings associated with being in a location that is intertwined with nature and right by the sea. Due to the facility's back being against forested slopes, precautions should be taken against the increased population of mosquitoes and insects, especially during the evening hours. Additionally, the sharp night frost of the Marmara can catch holidaymakers unprepared. Therefore, it is an important detail to remember to add insect repellent sprays and thick windbreakers to the luggage before setting out for the facility.
