Velsen-Zuid

We were looking for a base near Amsterdam and the coast and this fitted the criteria. Looked at previous reviews on this site and note the comments regarding the flight path to the nearby airport. 
This was a constant issue which should be considered if looking to stay in peak times with family but as we only used it at a base for day trips it didn’t spoil our stay. 
Faults/damage need to reported within 2 hours of booking in which apart from a few marks and stains on curtains the accommodation was overall in good condition. 
Due to the time of the year the site was quiet but the Clubroom/bar was open and we found all staff friendly and helpful.
As it states on the web site you need to take everything for you stay apart from bedding. 

Great Location for Touring

The worst place ever! Haven’t even been there, but I booked a stay for my family and me (3 small kids), we are traveling through Europe and this was our second last stop before going home. 5 min after I booked, I noticed I’ve booked the 20 June instead of 20 of July. I call immediately after (10 min after I payed), and they rejected to fix it. I’m so sad lost the money and I don’t have many, because of a stupid mistake. And on their website it says free cancellation within 24 hours. I did it in 10 min.! And still no help. I would never go there now never recommend it. They stole my money and they just have an empty house now on the wrong dates instead at a little bit of service and politeness. I’ve been calling so many times to ask, and one lady said no problem, men the. The front desk maneuver Roberto rejected us. :-( 

Don’t go there they only care for money

I have very mixed feelings about this place. We stayed in one of the tiny homes. The home was very nice, clean, kitchen was perfect and functional. Beds were comfortable. Nice table and chairs and small living area with comfortable couch and TV. 
This home is really not for people traveling internationally like us. We came from the US, traveling around the country, and we did not have amenities that we needed with us.  
We did pay for linens, but you do have to pay six euros per towel set. We had to buy our own toilet paper. They were no kitchen towels. They do give you a small package with a garbage bag, dishwasher, tablets, and sink soap. 
They do have a sauna, but you can only use it when the desk is open, which is limited hours. And even the hours posted or not necessarily the hours that they are there. For example, after a long day of touring, it would’ve been nice to use the sauna. But at 5:30 PM they were closed. No one at the front desk. Even though it said there would be.
I think if you were traveling and you were local, I wanted to do this for your vacation, it would probably be very nice.  If you were a family, you certainly could get the joining homes. But there’s nothing to do actually in the facility and you have to drive wherever you want to go.
It is close to Amsterdam and the beach. 
The other thing, is, if the sound of airplanes bother you, forget it. We did not find them bothersome, but we did keep the windows closed at night. (we didn’t use air conditioning or heat so I don’t know if that works). The airplanes are about every two minutes and they’re pretty low. I don’t know how people live here, there are a few permanent residence in the area. It would drive me bananas, sitting outside, listening to airplanes that often.
Otherwise, it’s near a Park, which we didn’t investigate at all. There’s a mode train museum nearby, but apparently all train museums in the Netherlands are permanently closed for some bizarre reason.  
I would say, just look carefully at what your needs are before you stay here.

Depends what you are looking for

+ more beautiful in the green park. + very idyllic, beautiful area. + parking possibility in front of the chalet. + Distance Amsterdam by car good. - arrived at 23:30 the barrier to our chalet was closed despite the map could not open. Parking at the main parking lot could not carry suitcases through the area to the chalet. Not optimally rather annoying and illogical. - we had to leave our chalet the day before due to private affairs. Unfortunately the day did not have to be paid, no cooperation from the European authorities. - Supermarket nearby.

It's nice to hear the noise.

The location is nice so the pictures might seduce you into booking it, but please consider the following first:
- you are immediately charged in full for your upcoming stay
- the property will keep 50% of your money should you decide to cancel less than 6 weeks in advance
- after you book, you are informed that you have to pay extra if you want bed sheets and pillow cases; don't even think about towels, you won't get any (hidden costs!)
- the property claims to alow pets for a surcharge; after I have booked it, I was asked to inform them within 24 hours if I want to bring a pet; I have replied within 1 hour, and then 3 days later they have told me they do not have a pet-friendly cabin for me, and refused a full refund; apparently only a small fraction of their cabins are pet-friendly, not all (misleading information!)
- the whole area is very noisy as all planes landing on Schiphol are passing over it; furthermore, in a total disrespect for their customers, they ran the lawnmower at 14.40.
- the cleaning can definitely be improved - I woke up with spider bites on my legs

The bottom line: better find another place to stay!

Avoid it if you have a choice!

Negative: - dirty and dirty sofa - shower full of hair - mattress scrubber dirty and not clean - air conditioning equipment only available for rent - Extreme flying noise - no kindness from staff - ants, many of them, in the kitchen - under the coffee table was a used nail polish positive - the weather The plan was that we wanted to come with friends next year. We're sure nothing. The disappointment is great.

A Disappointment

Arrived here together with my family. On arrival everything went smoothly. Nice staff to welcome us and some free food was a nice welcome they gave us.

Upon arriving to our chalet, someone else parked on our driveway. Luckily they offered to move their car right away.
Upon entering the house, I stumbled across a number of defects and issues with the room to the point where it felt unclean and unfit.

I came across lots of brown rust on the radiators, pretty much all of them felt like they were in a bad condition.
The baseboard was damaged and tarnished all around the rooms, in some spots completely broken lose from the floor. 

The door had holes in them as if they were kicked in and clothing (perhaps from the previous visitors?) was found around the chalet.

The BBQ in the garage still had burned up coal inside, along with some burned food (also previous visitors?). Some of the chairs had their upholstery damaged. Later that night, I also discovered beer caps and lids together with cardboard and dirt stacked up in the corner of a room under a bed.

Mind that even though it was supposed to be a non-smoking, the faint smell of cigarettes could clearly be smelled upon entering the room and in the furniture.

Please check out the pictures for an impression of the Chalet.

Even though the above caused my rating to be lower. The location is great and the facilities are nice. I am trying to reach out to the park to see what the reason for this could be. 

Please have a look at the pictures. I do not believe, by visiting this house, it holds up to a 4-start hotel rating. However, service is good and location is nice. The chalet could have been better.

(Subject to change as I am still trying to get in touch and awaiting a response from the park)

Good location, mediocre chalet

Hello, unfortunately, my family and I can't make a nice trip to this resort. We were there for a week and we wanted to leave right away. We've been to many resorts in the Netherlands, and we can only say that here was one of the worst. Unfortunately, the houses are not well insulated and have no air conditioning. So even at temperatures around 20 degrees Celsius, it's very warm inside the house. Man can count on every 5 minutes of flying noise. In our house number 158, it was very dirty.

Never again!

Very nice place, easy access to Amsterdam (it takes 20 minutes to walk to the tram stop). The bungalows are clean and there is something to wash dishes in. You can rent bicycles there. Unfortunately breakfast is expensive and the people who work there are very unpleasant and uncooperative.

It's beautiful.

I've been in Amsterdam twice in my life and twice in droompark.. We stayed in the house 36 the first week of March..i have to say i could find a better place.. Easy to reach, super clean and super quiet. The staff is gorgeous nice.. And i truly recommend to get the E-bike and go around.. We are already planning to come back this October again 😍😍🌷🌷🌷.. Thank you
