Solo Retreat - 4 personer

This is our second time using EuroParcs in the Netherlands. We stayed in a La Mer 4 accommodation with our dog. Overall, it was clean and well-equipped, though the rooms were slightly smaller than our last EuroParcs stay.

A minor design flaw: the bathroom door is right next to the main bedroom door, so you have to be careful not to bang them together!

​A few things to keep in mind for hot weather:
​No Air Conditioning: With 36°C temperatures outside, the large living room windows and French doors made it feel like a greenhouse.

​Mosquitoes: There were quite a few around, but that was expected given the time of year and heat.

​Gym: Located in an unventilated loft, which felt like a sauna in the heat.

​The Highlights:
​Outside Area: The enclosed hedge around our unit was fantastic and very secure for our dog.

​Pool & Wellness: The kids loved the pool, and the wellness area/sauna was excellent. Tip: Avoid the pool between 10:00 and 12:00 —they hold swimming lessons for toddlers then, and splashing can net you a few glare!

​Staff: Super friendly, lovely, and helpful throughout our stay.

​Location: Great base! It's ~40 minutes to Amsterdam and under 30 minutes to Walibi Holland (a must-do for kids, though note they are strict on the 1.4m height limit for big rides).

​Areas for Improvement:
​On-site Shop: Very limited compared to other parks. You can order fresh bread in advance, but don't expect a fully stocked mini-market for basics like eggs, milk, butter, or coffee.

​Tech & Amenities: The barcodes in our welcome pack mostly didn't work which was surprising. The fun zone room was closed for our entire stay, and there was no entertainment team.

​Nearby Beach: Note that the beach is not a part of the park. It is right next door (3-min walk) does not allow dogs from April to October. The water quality was also poor due to the heatwave, so we stuck to the pool.

​Road Noise: The park is near a main road and motorway, so there is constant background traffic noise. Not laud but always there.

​Despite the heat-related challenges, we had a good stay and appreciated the lovely staff!

Vi var meget skuffede over vores ophold. Det hus, vi fik, svarede ikke til det, vi troede, vi havde reserveret, da vi så billederne og beskrivelsen på hjemmesiden. For en lejepris på omkring 1 500 € havde vi helt klart forventet noget meget bedre.

Det første store problem: Varmen i huset var simpelthen uudholdelig. Mens det var omkring 33 °C udenfor om dagen, målte vi op til 41 °C INDENFOR i huset om aftenen! Det var umuligt at sidde behageligt eller sove ordentligt under disse forhold. For en leje til denne pris er det virkelig uacceptabelt.

En anden ubehagelig overraskelse: håndklæder er ikke engang inkluderet i lejeprisen på 1.500 €. Man skal betale yderligere 5 € PER HÅNDKLÆDE for at få dem. I denne prisklasse er det ærligt talt urimeligt at opkræve ekstra betaling for noget så grundlæggende.

Vaskemaskinerne koster også penge: 4,50 € pr. brug. Og i mit tilfælde måtte jeg betale TRE GANGE, fordi maskinen var slukket, selvom beløbet alligevel blev trukket. Resultat: 13,50 € brugt på en enkelt vask!

I sidste ende betaler man allerede et betydeligt beløb for boligen, og når man først er på stedet, opdager man endnu en række ekstraudgifter. Mellem huset, der ikke svarer til det, der blev præsenteret, de 41 °C indenfor, håndklæder, man skal betale for, og vaskemaskiner, man skal betale for, og som har driftsproblemer, er forholdet mellem kvalitet og pris virkelig meget dårligt.

Med en lejepris på 1.500 € forventede vi et minimum af komfort og service. Desværre var vores oplevelse yderst skuffende. Jeg kan ikke anbefale det.

Dejlig feriepark, hyggelige indkvarteringer, flot anlæg med grønne områder og damme. Meget venlig betjening.
Generelt kunne hytterne og anlægget godt bruge lidt mere pleje.

Fine hytter, ikke noget særligt. Hytterne var rene og pæne. Servicen er god, og man bliver taget godt imod, hvis der er klager. Restauranten i parken er også fin, hvis man lige vil spise noget.
