Never again

Ah, we loved De Twee! We stayed in one of the Boerderij chalets, which was clean and spacious. |The chalets have a generous 'garden' and parking space, so we never felt hemmed in.|The kids' club and facilities are amazing- the pumptrack, mini golf, tennis courts, bowling alley and indoor and outdoor water slides kept our fussy children so happy. |Felt safe enough to let the kids cycle around alone. |Full of Dutch families, always a good sign. |Excellent shop, well stocked and with lovely staff.

Totally understand that everyone's experience and reviews are their own but some of the negative reviews on here are a bit odd.||We're a family of 4 and visited during October half term and can honestly say it was our best ever holiday.||Let's start with the accommodation, we had a two bedroom Ibiscus apartment which while 'basic' as some have described, was absolutely fine for 4 people, there was a fridge, gas hob, microwave if you fancied cooking. The benefit of this type of apartment is that all linen is included and we got a change of towels midweek.||The beds were comfortable and we all enjoyed a great night's sleep, only bug bear was we had a ground floor apartment so could hear our upstairs neighbours move chairs, but that's life and they probably could hear my snoring!!|The site itself is fantastic, situated in the shores of beautiful Lake Garda it had several restaurants (which were amazing), onsite supermarket (who sell gorgeous brioches for breakfast), football pitches, tennis courts and pools. We were very lucky with the pools as they were supposed to shut in September but were still open for most of our stay, and if you don’t fancy swimming in the pools or the water park have a nice dip in Lake Garda|One thing to note though, like most European places there is a hygiene requirement to wear a swim cap in the big lap pool.|The site is 35-40 minute stroll along the shore of the lake to the gorgeous town of Peschiera del Garda, which while it not offer the bustling nightlife of a big city is a lovely place to sit and enjoy a glass of wine or a negroni |The train station here also connects with Milan, Venice, Verona and onwards and there are bus stops at the site entrance to take you to some of the other pretty towns and villages along the lake.||

Wasn’t sure what to expect after reading the reviews on here. However we had a great time. We visited the week before UK half term and Into half term. The first day they were hosting a Dutch football camp. Was quite busy but no bother. It rained most of our stay but we still managed to get out. Take an umbrella if you go sep/oct time. The walk into Peschiera was along a promenade and about 15/20 minutes there’s a few cafe/ restaurants along the way. We took a boat trip from Peschiera, it was an hour and cost €20 per person. We also got the train into Verona. Cost us €6.90 for all 3 of us. Great value. We visited the children’s museum in Verona. Well worth a visit on a rainy day if you have children. My 7 year old loved it. We visited Gardaland. If you get to the main station in Peschiera they run free buses to Gardaland and back. Again my 7 year old loved it. Plenty of rides and you can spend the whole day there. We also visited the sealife centre. It was good but don’t expect to spend much more than an hour there. We booked a combo ticket for Gardaland and sealife. You could visit the sealife either on the same day as Gardaland or the day after, my recommendation would be to visit it on the day you visit Gardaland as it seemed a bit far for us to come again the next day just to spend an hour there at the sealife. We visited in the afternoon after a morning in Gardaland then went back into Gardaland to finish the day off. Gardaland was great and really set up for Halloween. Such a great day. |The campsite itself was fine, lots for kids to do. Be warned the pool was freezing. Although we didn’t think they’d be open as it said they were only open till end September I think. However they did open them up on the 2 sunny days we had. No bother getting a lounger in the afternoon. Pools closed at 5.30. We ate at all of the restaurants. All fairly decent. However our favourite was the one up past the hotel. Not corta riga, the one to the left of the hotel. Supermarket had most of what you would need. There is also a gift shop and pharmacy on site too. We used the train most times to get to Peschiera, fun for the kids and reasonable value. All in all we had a good time. We stayed in oleandro bungalow. Small, and dated but absolutely fine for what we needed it for. It was clean. I liked the fact they give you a disposable mop head. So you know it’s a clean one and can throw away at the end of your holiday. We didn’t have any complaints.

Where to start. We have stayed in a Europarcs in Bad Hoophuizen before and it was really nice and clean, the house was a dream and unfortunately we thought we would expect the same here. The cushions of the garden furniture all wet and dirty and stacked on top of each other, the house for 6 people much too small you only have one toilet and a shower that looks like you are in the hospital, the fireplace is not a real fireplace it is a fake fireplace, the TV much too small and the worst the couch stained and dirty. In the closet of the master bedroom is a system in it that is very loud at night.the table lamps are I think deco and do not work.the system itself is a bit old.so super disappointing and the money is not worth it so never never again Europarcs and if then only Bad Hoophuizen. That was our first night am curious what to expect.

Fine campground in Denekamp. Close to German border to Nordhorn. Nice, small town for an excursion.

Worth a visit

Family-friendly, relaxed.

Perfect family weekend!

Lovely few days had, love to come again

Currently closed but superbly located, right on the water

Very bad if you are on vacation and you are working from home office. Security service is very pushy, asking a lot of personal questions and if you don't want to answer they start following you. Then the security service will knock on your doors late at night and they want to kick you out of the accommodation. Their argument is "you are a worker, this is not for workers". You don't have any chance to defend yourself. I don't recommend. 👎🏼
