Åros Feriesenter

Nice housing, but terrible management. Not a single hair dryer available in all of the camping, cold water from the shower, very unfriendly young kids that answer clients’s requests with a smugly, listless way. Franky, not worth the money.

We stayed there for 3 days. And I can say that the pool was amazing because it was seawater and it was warm! It was good to swim even it the weather was cold. Another plus point was that the surroundings was very beautiful, nice nature and good for morning walks, nice beachfront and playground for children was top! But there was this wedding and they partied up to 3 am. We could hear the party at the whole resort. We thought that the resort's curfew for noise is 11 pm. But the music and partying was until 3 am. My family including my little children did not sleep well the whole night! The place is also not suitable for tents. they have places for tents but the areas are too small and close to the cabins. This resort should have been the best in Kristiansand if they have place for everybody including campers. But I can say that the toilets were very clean. Sadly they only have one kitchen facility for the whole resort. I hope they could add more facilities

The cabin we rented wasn’t big - but it turned out to be very very small. Hardly any place for the suitcase to stand without tripping over it. When checking in we were not told how to lock the cabin’s door with electric lock. Swimming pool, playground, and sea view were great!

Nice surroundings but horrible accomodation. We came to spend a week at the beach with our kids and extended family. We stayed at a two-bedroom cabin with the most horrible location ever! Why they decided to place a cabin right next to the gate entrance of the whole property is s mystery to me, because no one will EVER enjoy staying there. Every vehicle entering or leaving the premises had to stop and start right outside our cabin. Also, every pedestrian entering or leaving the site, pool or beach had to squeeze through the small opening between the gate and our cabin wall. The disturbance and lack of privacy was torment the entire week. Stay clear of cabin number 29! We received no information about anything when we arrived. No information about services such as where to do laundry, wifi-passwords, the possibility of borrowing a barbecue or anything. We got told by other residents at the site. Also, the workers seemed very young and no one made eye contact or greeted us during our entire stay. The cabin itself was old and dated - and not in a charming way. The small seating area was also the dining area - meaning it didn’t work as any of them. Instead of a sofa, you get an uncomfortable bench, paired with a table too low to function as a dining table. I really missed somewhere comfortable to sit at the end of the day. The kitchenette was okay, but blunt knifes (unusable) and no oven was a disappointment. The cabin had sleeping arrangements for six people, but barely any storage space. There just wasn’t anywhere to unpack except for a small drawer, a shelf in one of the bedrooms and a tiny shelf in the bathroom. The beds where okay, we slept comfortable. The play area, the heated pool and the beach was absolutely beautiful and the kids loved it! They had lots of beautiful plants and greenery, and every cabin had their own flower arrangements outside. It was lovely and I really appreciated that.
