Perfect beach and dune location

Perfect location: 3 min walk from the beach, free access to nice indoor pool with hammam and sauna, good restaurant, breakfast is fine but always the same choice (we stayed 6 days). Child friendly, nice staff, bike rental on site, bus stop in front of the hotel, free public parking (2 min away). Cleaning could be much better (5 nights, no new clean sheets...), 2 min to clean the bathroom, no vacuum... far from shops and restaurants.

5 Star location but 3 Star hotel

Reception area not clearly indicated. Parking is in unsecured public car park located several hundred metres from hotel. Rooms clean but overdue for refurbishment. Breakfast buffet lacked variety and choice for a 4 star rated hotel. When I asked whether I could have/buy an omelet for breakfast I was informed that was not possible! Staff otherwise helpful and friendly.

Een schitterend en recent gerenoveerd hotel op een prachtige plek midden in de natuur en 100 meter van zee. Fijn hotel, gastvrij voor een prettig verblijf. Goede uitvalsbasis om Terschelling met de fiets te verkennen. Mooie en ruime kamer met balkon. Goede badkamer met bad en aparte douche. Fantastisch ontbijt in mooi restaurant met veel ruimte tussen de tafels. Kortom een hotel dat een aanrader is als je van rust en ruimte houdt.

Het is een prima hotel op een perfecte plek. Het personeel is vriendelijk, kamer was zeer goed met een mooi uitzicht. Ontbijt was goed verzorgd en de diner mogelijkheden goed. Het geheel (inclusief kamer)was zeer schoon en de kamer had goede bedden. Fijn dat je huisdiervrije kamers kon kiezen. Een aanrader ook voor mensen met een huisdier.
