My girlfriend and I were there for a few days. Very nice hotel right on the harbor, great cozy rooms. The hotel staff were absolutely nice and accommodating (although I have never experienced anything different from Dutch people). It certainly wasn't the last vacation there.

Stay in boutique hotel De Eilanden, which also turned out to be part of Zeezicht... (this was not made known to us in advance.) Rooms there were fine! Nicely decorated in a beautiful old building. …
