Akkerendam Nature Reserve

I honestly can’t recommend this hotel highly enough. Staff: Elton, Melody, and the entire team — from the kitchen staff to housekeeping and the night guard — were truly exceptional. Warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, they go above and beyond to make you feel at home. Every interaction was kind, cheerful, and professional. Room: Spotlessly clean and beautifully designed with soft, home-like touches. The shower was spacious, towels perfectly fluffy, and the bed incredibly comfortable with crisp, luxurious linens. The city and ocean view were breathtaking — I even saw an eagle land on my balcony one sunrise! Breakfast: Absolutely excellent. Freshly prepared each morning with a great mix of made-to-order hot dishes and a lovely cold buffet. The fruit was perfectly ripe, and the warm croissants were a delightful treat. Facilities: Inviting lounges create the perfect space to enjoy coffee, the wine of the day, or freshly baked afternoon cake. Games and puzzles are available for guests to unwind and relax. Location: Central yet peaceful, with quick Uber access and a convenient supermarket nearby. Despite being close to everything, the setting feels calm and secluded — ideal after a busy day out. This hotel exceeded my expectations in every way, especially thanks to the outstanding staff. I’ll definitely return and will recommend it wholeheartedly to friends and family.
