Review of Holiday Inn Seaport Beach IJmu...

My very good friend and I had a reunion in Ijmuide...

My very good friend and I had a reunion in Ijmuiden and one of our days was spent doing the N15 Etappe of the Nort Sea Cleanup Tour.

What a lovely surprise it was that the hotel decided to spoil us (for our charitable efforts) by upgrading us to the Superior Suite with Jacuzzi and fireplace... What??? Wow!!

Special mention to Gyon for the relaxed and friendly check in. He had a big group of Italians checking in before us, but he acknowledged us and chatted pleasantly with the group while doing all the million things receptionists do to check guests in. Payments, keys, information, all the while keeping focused on the guests and providing useful info. Well done that man!

And then that room.... Sooooo nice that we spent the whole night bathing, lounging, eating - great food delivered to our room, drinking, chilling and girly giggling in that awesome room, from which we could see Zandvoort, where we walked to earlier that day. Slept like babies too, bed is massive and very comfortable. We had a breakfast inclusive rate, which was another little fest. Suffice to say we skipped lunch that day!

A little shout out too to Simshie in the restaurant for creating a space for 4 out of nowhere (we had guests joining for b/fast). She and Mandy ran round serving everyone, and also Salem from the kitchen who kept replenishing all the food and waffle-making mix all the time.

The checkout ladies Gabrielle and Sanne where also lovely. Thank you to everyone at team IJmuiden for going the extra mile with service and hospitality.

We had a really wonderful stay and I'm sure we'll be back again in the future!
