Summary created out of 203 reviews

MarinaPark Beach Resort Soal is located directly on the IJsselmeer with a beautiful beach and good facilities including a supermarket and restaurant. The location is widely praised by guests, as well as the friendly staff and clean sanitary facilities. Unfortunately, stays are currently overshadowed by large-scale construction work for new villas and bungalows, causing significant noise disruption from 7am onwards. Guests feel misled as construction work was not always clearly communicated in advance, and the park appears to be increasingly focusing on luxury accommodation at the expense of camping pitches.

    The staff at the front desk were incredibly helpful and quickly came to our aid when we found ourselves in a difficult situation. Thanks to them, we were still able to enjoy our vacation and leave feeling relaxed. Thank you so much again 😊.

    We were supposed to stay for a week, but unfortunately had to leave two days early because my son got sick.
    We had booked a spot at Surffeld and weren’t disappointed. The facility was clean, the staff was super friendly and helpful, the food at the snack bar was really good, and the restaurant at Surffeld was great, too. The wash houses with … showers, restrooms, and sinks were always clean and didn’t really need renovating (though that always depends on what you expect). There was a construction site in front of the chalets, but we didn’t notice it at all. And besides, work has to be done sometimes at a large “campground.”
    From the Surffeld, it was only a two-minute walk to the beach, and we also had a small “harbor” (a dock for small boats) right next to us. The small supermarket has everything you need for daily life, and the prices are reasonable. Otherwise, it’s a 3-km drive to the town center, where you can shop wonderfully.
    For me and my son, one thing is certain: this wasn’t our last visit, and we’d love to come back!
    Thank you so much for the wonderful stay <3

    Wir sollten eine Woche bleiben, mussten aber aufgrund von Krankheit meines Sohns leider zwei Tage eher abreisen.
    Wir hatten uns einen Platz auf dem Surffeld gebucht und wurden nicht enttäuscht. Die Anlage war sauber, die Mitarbeiter super freundlich und hilfsbereit, das Essen an der Snackbar war echt gut, das Restaurant am Surffeld war auch klasse. Die Waschhäuser mit Duschen, Toiletten und Spülbecken waren immer sauber und nicht unbedingt renovierungsbedürftig (kommt aber auch immer drauf an, was man erwsrtet). Vorne bei den Chalets war zwar eine Baustelle, aber davon haben wir nichts bekommen. Und andererseits muss auf einem grossen "Campingplatz" auch mal gearbeitet werden.
    Vom Surffeld hatten wir es nur zwei Minuten zum Strand, hatten aber auch direkt bei uns einen kleinen "Hafen" (Anlegestelle für kleine Boote). Der kleine Supermerkt bietet alles, was man für das alltäglichen Leben braucht und die Preise sind akzeptabel. Ansonsten fährt man 3km zum Ortskern, wo man wunderbar einkaufen kann.
    Für mich und meinen Sohn steht fest, wir waren nicht das letzte Mal da und kommen gerne wieder!
    Vielen Dank für den tollen Aufenthalt <3
