Ambiant is super good ,very nice place good for relaxation ,super nice place

This is an outstanding place unlike anything we’ve experienced before. It really is everything you need in luxury in a great location from which to explore the coastline and delights of Ostend. We had a fabulous time and will definitely be back!

The house itself is nice. However, the toilet smells strongly of urine, and there’s a buildup of urine scale stuck in the bowl. There’s no cutting board in the kitchen, and there’s also no corkscrew, no garlic press, and no lemon squeezer. I had to buy a few things myself, which is annoying. While making the bed, I found a chocolate bar wrapper in the sheets 🙄. Seriously… I’m paying for a vacation home, not to have to buy everything myself and find the previous guest’s chocolate bar wrapper. That really annoyed me. / The staff at the Service Point are friendly and speak German well enough. / Renting the bikes went smoothly—I was very satisfied with the e-bike!

The perfect campground for visiting Strasbourg—with the TramB just a 10-minute walk away, you can reach downtown in just 15 minutes (5 stops). I’d definitely go back.
Dogs allowed.

Nice, but the heating is bad—it's really cold.

We visited the IJsvogel based on their social media posts and the description on the website. It was supposed to offer extra thorough cleaning, but unfortunately, there was no sign of that. There was dust everywhere, and the tables and other surfaces didn’t seem to have been wiped down. The cleaning staff came by again and was done in just 20 minutes. We ended up vacuuming and wiping everything down ourselves with soapy water. The website mentions luxury box-spring beds, but in reality, you’re sleeping on a sagging plastic mattress covered by just a single sheet. The bathroom and toilet smelled strongly of urine. Upon arrival, there were 30 flies in the living room. The excuse given was: “You’re here in the Veluwe, so you’ll have flies in the house.” Still, it seems only natural to me that you’d check the accommodation and remove the flies where necessary before guests arrive.
They charge €4.00 per night for an IKEA high chair that costs €17.99. Unfortunately, the maintenance of the cottages is very poor.

One positive aspect was the hot tub; it seemed well-maintained. The surroundings are also beautiful, and the park where the villas are located is peaceful. The new playground is very nice and child-friendly.

Pros:

* Very beautiful location
* Great beaches of various sizes. From coarse sand to pebbles, there’s something for everyone. Perfect for swimming, building sandcastles, and snorkeling.
* Overall, a very clean resort
* Restrooms well-distributed throughout the resort
* Well-stocked supermarket
* Our “Babul” accommodation was very high-quality and well-equipped

Cons:

* Unfortunately, we cannot recommend the new pool for families with children. There are a lot of restrictions: no jumping into the water, no balls, no toys, and children aren’t allowed in the hot tub. The rules are enforced very strictly. Even if you’re practically alone in the pool and aren’t bothering anyone, the lifeguard will immediately warn you. As a result, our children (ages 8 and 9) didn’t want to go to the pool at all after just a short time because they were hardly allowed to play there and weren’t having any fun. Also, the hot tub was very cold now that the season was ending.
* You have to park your car outside the campground. It was about a 10-minute walk from our parking spot to our accommodations—even though there were parking spaces right in front of our accommodations.
* Prices at the supermarket are relatively high.
* The mattress in our Babul accommodations was extremely hard. After three nights, we both had back pain.
* The evening entertainment program—including the main show for children—doesn’t start until 9:45 p.m. That was much too late for our children. At the same time, the music is so loud that it could be clearly heard in our accommodations until around 11:00 p.m.
* In addition, the bass from Phi Beach on the opposite side of the bay could be heard at night until around 3:00 a.m. Of course, the campground can only do so much about this, but it’s important for noise-sensitive guests to know.

Would we come back?
Probably not. The campground definitely has its nice points, especially the location and the beaches. For us as a family, however, the drawbacks mentioned above outweigh the positives—especially the very strict rules at the pool. So if we take another vacation in Sardinia, we’d probably look for a different campground.
