Summary created out of 241 reviews

Park De Zanding is beautifully situated on the edge of Hoge Veluwe National Park, offering a nature-rich environment with walking and cycling routes directly from the park. The location is highly appreciated, as well as the attractive grounds with water features, playgrounds, and spacious layout. Guests praise the friendly staff at reception and the smooth check-in process. However, there are significant complaints about accommodation cleanliness: guests regularly report dust, dirty pans, hair, and insufficient hygiene. Reception and customer service also receive criticism, as well as technical issues with showers, dishwashers, and bed linen.

    Unfortunately, there was no guest information in the house. As a result, we couldn't use the gas fireplace at all, and our use of the microwave with oven was limited. Too bad. The house and the surroundings are a dream.

    Leider keine Gästeinformation im Haus. So konnten wir den Gaskamin gar nicht und die Microwelle mit Backofen nur begrenzt nutzen. Schade. Das Haus und die Umgebung ist ein Traum.

    Disappointing experience at EuroParcs De Zanding

    Upon arrival at our Tiny Lodge, we discovered that the shower thermostat was broken. Unfortunately, this problem wasn’t resolved immediately. Since no technician was available that same day, he didn’t come by until the next day. He confirmed that the thermostat was indeed … broken.

    Midway through the day, we were offered the option to move to a similar cabin for one night. It’s understandable, of course, that something might break during a stay. What I find very disappointing, however, is the way this was handled.

    I especially missed the personal service and customer-friendliness. It’s precisely when something goes wrong that you expect the resort to be proactive and attentive to the guest’s needs.

    Three weeks ago, I sent a letter about this, but to date I have not received any response. I find that disappointing as well, and to me, it doesn’t reflect the level of service you should expect from a vacation park.

    Unfortunately, this experience has led us to decide that this will be the last time we book a stay at EuroParcs De Zanding. It’s a missed opportunity, because with a little more personal attention and proper follow-up, this could have been a completely different experience.

    teleurstellende ervaring bij EuroParcs De Zanding

    Bij aankomst in onze Tiny Lodge bleek de thermostaat van de douche defect te zijn. Helaas is dit probleem niet direct opgelost. Omdat er diezelfde dag geen monteur beschikbaar was, kwam deze pas de volgende dag langs. Hij constateerde inderdaad dat de thermostaat defect was.

    Halverwege de dag kregen we de mogelijkheid om voor één nacht naar een vergelijkbaar huisje te verhuizen. Dat er tijdens een verblijf iets defect kan raken, is natuurlijk begrijpelijk. Wat ik echter erg jammer vind, is de manier waarop hiermee is omgegaan.

    Ik heb vooral de persoonlijke service en klantvriendelijkheid gemist. Juist op het moment dat er iets misgaat, verwacht je dat er vanuit het park wordt meegedacht en dat er aandacht is voor de gast.

    Drie weken geleden heb ik hierover een brief gestuurd, maar tot op heden heb ik hierop geen enkele reactie ontvangen. Ook dat vind ik teleurstellend en getuigt voor mij niet van de service die je van een vakantiepark mag verwachten.

    Helaas heeft deze ervaring ertoe geleid dat dit voor ons de laatste keer is geweest dat we bij EuroParcs De Zanding hebben geboekt. Een gemiste kans, want met wat meer persoonlijke aandacht en een goede afhandeling had dit een heel andere ervaring kunnen zijn.

    A beautiful and very green park. Lots of water. We had a spacious, quiet, and clean cottage with a large garden. Plenty of privacy, too.
    The staff is very friendly and resolved any minor issues right away.
    The pool is small but quiet early in the morning and around dinnertime, in the early evening.
    The park store has a wide selection.
    Very nice biking and hiking trails starting right from the park.
    We had a wonderful vacation

    Prachtig en heel groen park. Veel water. Wij hadden een ruim, rustig gelegen en schoon huisje met een grote tuin. Veel privacy ook.
    Het personeel is erg vriendelijk en losten wat kleine ongemakken direct op.
    Zwembad klein maar rustig vroeg id ochtend en rond etenstijd, begin vd avond.
    Parkwinkel ruim gesorteerd.
    Hele mooie fiets- en wandelroutes direct vanaf het park.
    We hebben een heerlijke vakantie gehad
