    Breakfast - a bit limited choice

    An ideal location for those who seek peace, quiet and enjoy communing with nature. The hotel is located in the middle of the dunes right at the entrance to the beach. Parking 100 m from the hotel. Dog-friendly place. The dog was welcomed with bowls and mattress. It was so kind surprise. Thank you

    Staff was very welcoming and check-in was a breeze. The hotel is located right at the beach and easy to reach by bicycle, car or bus from the harbour. The room, communal areas (including the pool / spa) were all very clean and the room included coffee+tea. The hotel restaurant provides some great dinner options in a very nice, comfortable and cozy atmosphere.

    Pool was more for kids enjoyment than adults. As adults without kids it’s nice to have separate kid & adult wellness areas.

    The options at breakfast could have been more with a little more variety but it was still good for the options that were served.

    This was a dream stay. The room was so spacious and since I had taken the love package, we received Bubbles & the bed was decorated. Although we both would have liked the bed to be decorated with real flowers instead of artificial but I also understand the decision behind it. We loved the balcony and the beach view it had provided. Wish we could have stayed longer. We also appreciated the options for renting bike directly from the Hotel.

    Very good breakfast although the only missing were the "on-demand" prepared eggs e.g. omelette, fried eggs The pool is too small for a real swim (it is refreshing after the sauna)

    We got a nice family room with two floors including 2 balconies (one with sea view). The living room was very large so also with poor weather you can enjoy the stay at this hotel. The dunes and the beach are just in front of the hotel Very friendly staff Very quiet at night Public parking 100m away Very good breakfast (only missing the "on demand" prepared eggs e.g. omelette, fried eggs)

    A spa or massage service would be great to have. There is only an independent lady that can come to give a massage but had already been booked for all the days we stayed.

    Amazing location! Rooms too hot in the summer.

    • Leisure trip
    • Group
    • Large Family Suite
    • Stayed 3 nights

    The room was very hot (outdoor temperatures were reaching ~25C during the day) and there was no aircon. At night time we could open the balcony doors and this helped to keep things cool during the night, but then you are exposed to noises and cigarette smoke from other guests. The TV had very few channels to choose from (as an english speaker... no BBC1 or BBC2, no TLC, no National Geographic, etc etc... which are usually standard). The staff in the restaurant were extremely unfriendly and the food was at best mediocre - healthy but lacking flavour. Sometimes there was dog pee in the lift. Toiletries could be improved - would really like a liquid soap in the toilet and bathroom for hand washing - for hygiene reasons I don't want to share a bar of soap with others.

    Location is amazing, in the dunes and just a couple of minutes from the beach. The room (large family suite) was very spacious. The decor is not the most modern, but everything was clean and comfortable. Nice that I could bring my dog with me (for an extra fee). The mini kitchenette was really handy (sink, fridge, microwave, kettle, cutlery & crockery).
