My parents have spent 3 unforgettable days in the Beachhouse hotel. These 3 days were about replenishment and rejuvenation. Time in Beachhouse hotel would definitely be part of their ideal holidays, at Zandvoort, directly on the beach, of absolute gorgeousness. My parents could already feel the air working its magic, with the sea breeze drifting over them. Beachhouse Hotel is an Excellent hotel!!! Everything is clean, comfortable, tastefully done, with love and attention to the guests. Nice design, new furniture, snow-white linens. My parents were vacationing in January, so the room was warm and cozy. The staff is polite and friendly, quickly answered all questions until the settlement. There were no complaints about cleaning. Since the hotel does not have a restaurant, the staff made up for this lack by having a delicious breakfast, where there was always fresh bread, red fish, honey and other goodies. My parents were pleasantly surprised that during the day they could enjoy fresh tea and sweet foods for free, which made it possible to sit in the hall and enjoy the seascape. When it was raining, the room had the opportunity to turn on Netflix, under your password, and watch some interesting movie. And, the feature of Beachhouse Hotel in Zandvoort, which can not be compared with other hotels, is the view of the ocean in front of your eyes 24/7, and the sound of the surf as a lullaby! Next time I will come to Beachhouse Hotel with my parents to celebrate their wedding anniversary!

As first-time visitors to the city, we were not disappointed. It's a friendly city. Very easy to go by tram or bus to wherever you want to go. A lot of museums to choose from. The Van Gogh museum was amazing! In the center of the city you find bars, shops and churches next to each other. Easy to find restaurants and you must try the local food like 'Bitterballen'

Inflation is a common thing, but Zandvoort tops it all.

Inflation is a common thing, but Zandvoort tops it all. Parking for the week was 120 €. In town you have to pay 4€ for the first two hours (minimum time), thereafter 7 € per hour. Frikandel from the FEBO vending machine was 3 € a piece. More expensive than in Alkmaar (2.40€) and even Amsterdam. Kibbeling varied in quality, but we found a good place at the beach (7.50 € with 4 sauces!). Restaurant were generally very "greedy". Top prices for Pizza Margherita 14.50 €, Tomato Soup 9 €, Cheesecake 9 € and Schnitzel with fries and salad 37.50 €!!!! Petrol about 30-35 cents per liter more than in Germany. I don't know how families with children can afford these prices??? I believe that other locations in The Netherlands are more reasonable, for example Provinz Zeeland, which we visited earlier this year. Zandvoort is for "High Society"!!!???

Haarlem is a city with a great history and so lots of places to visit to learn of the Dutch days of the past. Being not far from Amsterdam is easy to access. It has plenty of varied places to eat to suit most peoples culinary favourites. City is easy to navigate, but if you are not used to the extensive use of bicycles in the Netherlands take caution when moving around the streets! The two museums, Jan Teyler (oldest museum in Netherlands) and Frans Hals are kept in good condition well worth taking time to visit providing tourist information in English. Both have websites which give details of special events.

Zaandam is a little away from the center of Amsterdam but there is a train station within walking distance, though no subway system out there. There is a pedestrian shopping area with eateries and grocery stores, etc. It is a quieter area to stay than the main city center. Train fares are a bit more expensive than other EU countries but are regular and on time. Most of the eateries in this area were Turkish and similar, and delicious.

Stedliijk Museum very good and an interesting and original display of art and worth visiing, coffee shops Ok and the town easy enough to walk around and OK and I'd rather go there for a few days than Amsterdam, being from a small town, myself and good to visit the beach and get a agood blast of air. I diidn;t visit the cheese museum (I don't like cheese) or any other museums apart from the Stedlijk but I enjoyed saying 'Cheese' to folk taking pictures of themselves, as that is what you do in England! :-)

Egmond aan Zee is a charming little beach town in the Netherlands with all the shops and Restaurants you could wish for. As a family of four we liked to walk to the Dekamarkt for our daily breakfast and snacks at the beach. At night we would eat at restaurants, at the typically Dutch snackbar 'Bij Brigitte' or eat Kibbeling(fish) at the Coast. We rented bikes for the day to travel further out. The remains of a castle in Egmond aan de Hoef was very interesting for our preteens and the next coastal town over 'Bergen aan Zee' was lovely as well. We visted the Aquarium there which was facinating for the entire family. Venturing out by foot into the Duinen is recommended as well. We saw wild Horses, oxes and a gorgeous sunset. In the Smidstraat there was a little secondhand Shop full of antiques. So much so that it seemed more a Museum than a shop! Everybody seemed to be able to speak a little German and if not their amazing english skills were impressive! I hope you have a wonderful time in Egmond aan Zee.
