As announced in the travel description the front desk on the day of arrival was only until 17 o'clock occupied. Due to dust we were late. When we communicated this at 1530 by telephone, we were first asked to transfer the deposit and the remaining on-site fees (final cleaning, ...), so that a key can be deposited in the outdoor safe. Since we could not comply with this request, the reception was then - after some back and forth - even longer open. At the first moment we saw ourselves already back ... Overall, the front desk is occupied only on Fridays and Mondays. So we were able to complain about our defective wireless Internet access on Monday, but got a replacement access immediately -) The park is overall very modern and new. Due to this, the landscape gardening plant of the outdoor area is still growing up. However, this increases the opportunity for all fellow travelers (especially the children) to quickly make new contacts. The bungalow No. 11 is very new and functional. It lies in the third and thus the last row, seen from the shoreline. Unfortunately, it has a more or less clear slope towards the terrace, as if it had been pitched from the beginning. Thus, the sliding door to the shower opens automatically after a while, if you do not close with force. The right next to the park running national road is quite loud. Even when the window is closed (in April) you are awakened in the morning by the very numerous traffic flowing. With correspondingly higher temperatures and windows open at night, this effect is certainly even more disturbing. The more one moves with the bungalows from the road to the coastline, the quieter it gets, whereby the road is always noticeable. The terraces of the houses directly on the coastline are likely to be very drafty with the corresponding wind direction and strength. The sandy beach on the map at the playground is not (yet)

Upon arrival it was not entirely clear where the park was, was not indicated anywhere. The reception was very friendly. Everything was clearly told. The staff who work at Resort Markermeer are all very nice! The house looked fine! (missed only a microwave, which was on the accommodation description.) Everything was on and on. Our house was on a busy road, but at a certain point you do not hear that anymore (idea to install a sound wall?) You saw that the resort was still under development, but we had no noise from the work traffic. Our first holiday together with our 5 month old puppy, was great! Walked wonderfully in the area, visited towns (Enkhuizen, Hoorn) and went to the beach (Callantsoog). All in all great holiday!

First of all the positives - the cottage, the location right on the water, the surroundings, the possibilities in the area, value for money great (price was significantly reduced). The negatives - the resort is still under construction (but we knew that) Location right on a main road (it is to be hoped that a noise barrier will be built), too little dishes (the dishwasher would have to run after every meal), well cleaned was not (dust under the bed, shower with hair clogged). We had a great holiday, so the positive overall has therefore clearly outweighed. The children could bathe spontaneously, because right on the water. The water was long very flat, also very nice. The environment has much to offer.
