EuroParcs de Rijp

We recently stayed here with a tour group of parents and rugby players. A picturesque location with canals surrounding, some houses had boathouses, all had parking and outdoor seating areas. The houses were excellent, clean, tidy, comfy beds, basic kitchen needs satisfied. The clubhouse with bar/restaurant was very welcoming and the staff very friendly. The boys made use of the pool and outdoor area for sports. It was well situated to visit Amsterdam and many parents commented on how they may come back again! There are local takeaways, (recommend La Pizzeria!) that deliver to site, and the on site food offering was also excellent.

Europarcs is a lovely place that has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, they're not living up to their full potential. We arrived at our tiny house, which was dirty, there was dirt, dust, and hair underneath the table and in corners, as well as MOLD behind the toilet and downstairs beds. There was no toilet paper in the bathroom, no towels, plenty of dishes in the kitchen with no paper towels, no dishwashing liquid, and all the dishes were put away in the cabinet, dirty. We went to the office and the staff was amiable and accommodating. They explained that towels were an additional cost. I have never heard of this, nor was there an option to "pay extra" upon booking. They gave us towels for "free" a roll of toilet paper and a super tiny bottle of dishwashing liquid so we could wash all the half-washed dishes. I am a writer and I rely on Wi-Fi to complete my work. I was told that there was a problem with the Wi-Fi in my house, but I could use the service from a nearby house. The first night, the Wi-Fi didn't work from either of those houses, so I missed out on an assignment that went past the deadline. When the Wi-Fi did start working from the other house (it never worked in mine throughout the entire 10 days), it was very intermittent and unreliable. ALSO, IT WAS NEVER MADE CLEAR THAT YOU CAN LEAVE THE PARK ANYTIME, BUT IF YOU RETURN AFTER 11 PM, YOU ARE LOCKED OUT AND MUST PARK SOMEWHERE OUTSIDE THE GATE AND WALK QUITE A WAYS IN THE RAIN BACK TO YOUR ACCOMMODATIONS!

Yes, this place is unique in a few ways. Unique and different from a North American perspective perhaps. From the *******/Website images its uniqueness was what drew us to the property in the first place. From the homes design (interior and exterior) to the amenities and layout of the accommodation site. We definitely enjoyed our stay here despite the distance from central Amsterdam and sites. A little advice for upcoming travellers, (of course do a bit of homework) you require a vehicle if you are to stay here and see the sites of Amsterdam. We rented a vehicle and and parked close to a bus/transit facility to get to where we needed to go. Yes, get here (if possible) within the time laid out on their website. If I where to have a minor complaint, which I am sure you have already read past guest comments, it is a challenge when arriving late and/or in the dark. This if anything is where guest satisfaction/needs to be met or improved upon. Oh yeah, bring your own bath towels, shampoo and bath soap.

I Like the House. They have a Parking. The have a Supermarkt in the Near. The people are very friendly.

I would have liked to be inform that we have to bring our towels, shampoo etc. The give soap for dishwasher but there is non dishwasher??? an air conditionning would have been appreciated. Snack bar open too late (around 3pm) so no possibility to by what is missing all day. The site itself is very nice and houses quite good

Very nice, quite and lovely place to relax. The whole family had a great time. The only issue was the existence of mosquitoes and spiders.
