Beautiful little hotel, recently renovated with great staff! Free bus from the De Panne train station (and Plopsaland), and as a bonus the stop is in France!

Just over the border from France, a good stop if you are heading north from Clais. Quiet location, parking appears limited at first sight but the hotel will tell you where you can park if you arrive when the restaurant is busy. Staff all very friendly, welcoming and professional. Bedroom is by some standards "neat" but comfortable and clean. It is obvious that the owners are hands on and want to build and maintain a good reputation. Breakfast buffet is comperhensive and the restaurant is light and pleasant. Ate in the restaurant and would do so again. Will certainly return and recommend this 3 star hotel.

A superb hotel in a useful location for visiting western costal areas of Belgium and the Nord Pas de Calais region. Particularly well looked after. We do recommend using the elevator as the stairs may be challenging for some.

Outstanding hotel. Difficult to manage without a car, but a very nice property

Shower was not provided with a floor mat. Therefore, the floor was very slippery and dangerous. The possibility of falls was very concerning. Washcloths would have helped as only liquid soap provided. I would stay again in a heartbeat.

Just a one night stopover enroute to Calais. Comfy clean room and friendly helpful staff. Good food and drink in the restaurant.

Very nice hotel run by the owner and her team. Officially 3 stars, but really deserves 4. It’s the type of place which feels incredibly authentic, and gives you the experience of what hospitality really should feel like! Excellent location for a splurge into nature. Strongly recommend to take a room with a dunes side view.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2-night stay at the Ara Dune. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the hotel seemed to be brand-new, and our room was spotless and very comfortable. Would definitely recommend this hotel

This is a beautiful, cozy hotel right on the border of Belguim and France. Beautifully laid out in a way that uses its space wisely.

Beautiful, clean hotel with a nautical theme. Light and breezy decor. Spotlessly clean and spacious guest rooms. Breakfast was wonderful with a range of items to fill all tastes and nationalities. Would definitely stay here again!

The quality of the hotel was excellent, they even have a interiors/gift shop within it. The restaurant was very well presented and the food excellent. It is out of town and in a very quiet location.

Friendly staff and very clean and nicely presented. Very comfortable room and bed

This is a very nice hotel with attentive staff. I would stay here again if in the area. The restaurant food was very good and served in a casual atmosphere. There was very little road/external noise in our room and the rooftop patio is relaxing. Be aware that air conditioned rooms must be booked specifically.

Overnight stop on the way to the Eurotunnel. Fantastic find. The standard of the hotel if it were located in London, Paris, Berlin or et al would be that of an expensive boutique hotel. The decor, comfort, cleanliness and friendliness of the staff are of the highest standard. Even small things such as at least 10 electrical sockets in the bedroom show considerable thought towards the needs of guests. Close to DePanne and its restaurants if you choose not to dine in the hotel itself. Mama Thai is highly recommended for authentic and reasonably priced Thai food.

Very welcoming, reception took time to show us around the hotel and to our room. Room spotless. Breakfast a tad expensive at EUR 12.50 a head

Superb hotel and we have no complaints whatsoever. When an hotel management sets such very high standards for itself, there will be those few guests who cannot align with strict rules of conduct, and it is those, only those, who could possibly have complaints about this haven of sheer comfort.

We often stop in Belgium just for tobacco ,never thought to stay longer this was a wonderful surprise after a long journey ,the welcome we received was so lovely and a tour of the hotel too,the hotel was peaceful and so comfortable and well worth the overnight fee we will definitely be returning here again

Excellent food, facilities and staff - and we'll certainly stay again

Nice hotel. Clean, nicely furnished to high standard. Restaurant meal was also very good and better value than many places we ate at. Only comment was our room didn't have a shower only a shower attachment in bath and no curtain. Also front rooms a little noisy at night with road noise. Staff friendly and helpful. Would stay again. It is also quite a way out of Dr Panne and you need to rely on car.

This hotel is fab.. The cleanliness cannot be over stated and the facilities are very good... The entry system air-conditioned etc all top of the range. We had a junior suite very comfortable. Got shown to our room by the friendly lady in reception... Could not have asked more from this hotel... Plenty parking also..
