We stay there for one night. 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.

Ein sehr schönes Camp. Gut mit dem Auto zu erreichen und nicht so überlaufen wie andere Camps da am Rande der Wüste. Dennoch kommt gutes Wüstenfeeling auf. Sehr nettes und bemühtes Personal. Alles tip top sauber. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Hartelijk ontvangst en vriendelijke doch lichtelijk schuchtere bediening; wellicht vanwege de taalbarrière maar dat was niet echt nodig. 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.
