We went to the Zwaluwhoeve again yesterday, this time the new one. It already started in the changing rooms where you can hear everyone complaining that with all those bags you only get 1 dressing safe per 2 people. This was at 10 in the morning and there are plenty of lockers there! The thought behind this is probably clogging, because oh .. it could happen that we get all the lockers full today .. The hammam that we had booked at 64 EURO per person was super, great masseur / masseuse. Only the Turkish tea and Turkish fruit afterwards a big flop! You can eat it in the Buitenhuys, hello? Service? Then ask yourself because the ladies are busy chatting, even though they saw you coming in. Tea water coming from the hot tap? The foam was on it, lukewarm and in a glass with which you are finished after 2 sips .. turkish fruit a jelly block with excessive powdered sugar .. and that for 64 EURO per person? !!! Come on, you expect boiled tea water and a bit of decent tea, no Pickwick and maybe instead of that jelly block, an apple with some cinnamon. And if I may give a tip .. Give that Turkish tea nice in that waiting room, then you hold the feeling of the hammam for a moment, instead of the friendly service in the Buitenhuys. Moreover, the upholstery of the seats in the Buitenhuys really needs to be cleaned, a simple steam device can help you solve this problem. And maybe a sign DO NOT disturb on the door that during the hammam others do not open the door and stand to look, what happened to us up to 2x while you lie there! Well .. then you want to eat something around the clock from 1 pm. Eating outside is not an option, because smokers and non-smokers are just mixed up ... which also includes the necessary comments, as there are more non-smokers than smokers. Just like the fixed ashtrays at most doors, what draws to smoke there. Most saunas / wellness areas now have a separate smoking area and terrace / catering are smoke-free. No more ash in your food and drinks. Culinary market so just visited .. French fries, croquette, pizza, culinary? And the prices are not in proportion because you walk / wait past the buffet. We eat out regularly and then you have these prices in restaurants where staff serve you from all sides (and is friendly). It may be (partly) fresh, but I think the price is not in proportion to quality. Pepper in the mills are leftovers together because we had grit of old black pepper on top of the mixed peppercorns at the bottom. Salt and pepper sets were dirty. Apart from that, it turned out that if there was a calamity in the culinary market, ALL doors were closed all but 1! Are the curtains (rags) on top of the beams fixed with BRICK? !! It must give a luxurious appearance but is finished in a cheap way. Similarly outside the loungers, without cushions, completely sagged and floor slats broken, black lounge sets also almost all sagged. There were a few good sun beds but by far too few in relation to the number of guests. And as a guest, can everyone sit / lie properly? Outside, a locked toilet is also not enough for the amount of guests who visit the Zwaluwhoeve. I no longer had the feeling of a sauna, but the idea of staying at a holiday park, unfortunately ...
