We stay there for one night. We were the only guest in the resort so we had a really good service. It's very quiet and you can do is relaxing and walking on the dunes right behind the resort. The room was spacious and very clean. The food for dinner was very good. As for the breakfast, some fruits or real fruit juice would have been nice. Overall, we really like our stay.

We had a delightful stay at this hotel. Our spacious and well-maintained room with a balcony was bathed in natural light. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious! The hotel is conveniently located near a dune that you can easily walk up. They also offer exciting activities like dune bashing in a 4x4 or quad bikes, but these come at a higher price point. While the hotel’s location could have been better, as the balcony faces the street, the ambiance at night was peaceful and cozy. Despite this minor flaw, we highly recommend staying here. The cozy rooms and exceptional staff make it a truly memorable experience.

Ein sehr schönes Camp. Gut mit dem Auto zu erreichen und nicht so überlaufen wie andere Camps da am Rande der Wüste. Dennoch kommt gutes Wüstenfeeling auf. Sehr nettes und bemühtes Personal. Alles tip top sauber. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Hartelijk ontvangst en vriendelijke doch lichtelijk schuchtere bediening; wellicht vanwege de taalbarrière maar dat was niet echt nodig. Schone bungalow met schone lakens en goed werkende douche en airco. Diner en ontbijt uitgebreid maar aan de kwaliteit van het diner zou wat extra aandacht besteed kunnen worden zodat het er wat definieerbaarder uitziet. Geweldige ervaring om duin omhoog te lopen pal achter het terrein om zon te zien ondergaan en opkomen. Wat een rust.
