We were the only guest in the resort so we had a really good service. It's very quiet and you can do is relaxing and walking on the dunes right behind the resort. The room was spacious and very clean. The food for dinner was very good. As for the breakfast, some fruits or real fruit juice would have been nice. Overall, we really like our stay. ##### Marie-Pier Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### karim 30 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities l’accueil du personnel, le lieu, les équipements, le repas tout était magnifique ##### karim Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Henrik 23 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Ein sehr schönes Camp.

Schone bungalow met schone lakens en goed werkende douche en airco. Diner en ontbijt uitgebreid maar aan de kwaliteit van het diner zou wat extra aandacht besteed kunnen worden zodat het er wat definieerbaarder uitziet. Geweldige ervaring om duin omhoog te lopen pal achter het terrein om zon te zien ondergaan en opkomen. Wat een rust. ##### R. van ### 10/10 Excellent #### Egon 10 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Egon Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### BOUMEDIENE 19 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### BOUMEDIENE Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Juweira Boutique Hotel - Adults only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salalah-Hotels-Juweira-Boutique-Hotel.h5155635.Hotel-Information) > > [Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sayq-Hotels-Anantara-Al-Jabal-Al-Akhdar-Resort.h15161725.Hotel-Information) > > [dusitD2 Naseem Resort, Jabal Akhdar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sayq-Hotels-DusitD2-Naseem-Resort.h67425555.Hotel-Information) > > [Masira Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Masirah-Hotels-Masira-Island-Resort.h3033828.Hotel-Information) > > [Spa Hotels in Norway](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Norway-Spa-Hotels.0-0-d138-tSpaHotels.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [The Plaza Hotel and Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salalah-Hotels-The-Plaza-Hotel-And-Resort.h78079210.Hotel-Information) > > [Atana Musandam](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Khasab-Hotels-Atana-Musandam.h8656550.Hotel-Information) > > [Jabal Akhdar Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sayq-Hotels-Jabal-Akhdar-Hotel.h7399623.Hotel-Information) > > [Mama Shelter Lisboa ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lisbon-District-Hotels-Mama-Lisboa.h69863295.Hotel-Information) > > [Al Salam Grand Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Buraimi-Hotels-Al-Salam-Grand-Hotel-Resort.h73442140.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Burford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burford-Hotels.d11369.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Barceló Mussanah Resort, Sultanate of Oman](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Musannah-Hotels-Barcelo-Mussanah-Resort.h4100127.Hotel-Information) > > [Turtle Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Al-Hadd-Hotels-Turtle-Beach-Resort.h6252946.Hotel-Information) > > [IntercityHotel Nizwa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nizwa-Hotels-Intercityhotel-Nizwa.h45973771.Hotel-Information) > > [Al Asala Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Al-Asala-Resort.h42673651.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Desert Camp Oman](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bidiya-Hotels-Luxury-Desert-Camp.h83664228.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Havre des Pas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Havre-Des-Pas-Hotels.0-l6169674-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Hounslow (LHR) to Newark (EWR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/ewr/london-to-newark-liberty-intl-airport) ### Cars ### Activities > [Things to do in Sacramento](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Sacramento.d180049.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Lake Annecy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Annecy-Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes.d6355929.Attraction) ### General > [Visit Colorado](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colorado.dx207) > > [Visit Fourways](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Fourways.dx6049298) ---
