Hotel Ara Dune Hotel
Duinhoekstraat 164, 8660 De Panne, Belgium – Great location - show map
Staff extremely friendly and helpful, rooms very nicely decorated, enough space, excellent breakfast, child friendly environment
BelgiumThis hotel is one of those incredible finds you want on a vacation. The rooms are spacious, well decorated, and immaculately clean. The location is perfect for day trips around the region. It is 15 minutes from the beach and shopping. A grocery market is across the street. The restaurant is very good. Our dinner was delicious and worth "writing home about". The breakfast buffet was also delicious with a good selection of hot and cold treats. The staff were so friendly and helpful. They went the extra mile to make our stay enjoyable. We will definitely stay here again.
United States of AmericaThe hotel is on the road and delivery trucks arrive in the morning and can be loud. The location is good if you want to explore the region, do some beach horse back riding and have a few walks in the dunes. The hotel does not have any spectacular dune views. Staff are really nice. Useful to speak some French.
AustriaExcellent service, great food . Hotel did a great job adapting food service in room
BelgiumThe bed was really comfortable, the room was perfect and safe for the baby.
BelgiumSuper clean, quiet, cosy and the staff is so nice.
LuxembourgLovely hotel, very easy to locate. The room was extremely clean and well made up with useful toiletries - and the bonus of a shower mitt which was a very welcome, but rare addition. Decent shower with plenty of hot water. We had a superb meal in the attached bistro. On checking out, the owner gave us a small, wrapped gift which was a nice touch.
