A Fun Concept That Misses the Mark – Beverland Resort Review
Beverland Resort sounds like a dream: quirky themed rooms, a countryside escape, and a unique atmosphere. And honestly, the idea is great. But unfortunately, the execution just isn’t there — it feels like a once-fun party that no one bothered to clean up after.
Let’s start with the room. While some are creatively themed, ours was one of the more “standard” options — nicely decorated, yes, but with a TV that looked like it was last used to watch the 2006 World Cup. No Chromecast, no AirPlay, no Netflix — just a relic reminding us of simpler times.
The evening buffet? Way overpriced for what was on offer. The meat was incredibly dry — like, desert-level dry. I’m still trying to understand why a simple glass of tap water costs so much in Germany, but that’s another story.
Now for the positives: the breakfast buffet was genuinely the highlight. Fresh omelets made to order at the stove — warm, tasty, and exactly what you’d want to start the day. A small detail, but it stood out. (Bonus comedy: the pancake machine wasn’t working… again. Same issue as our last hotel, same machine. Is this a running joke in German hotels?)
We tried the pool, but it was too cold to enjoy. And the sauna — which is still shown on the resort’s website — has actually been removed. No notice, no update, just an empty promise.
On a walk through the Beverland property, we stumbled upon piles of empty bottles and leftover trash from previous polterabends — not quite the peaceful nature stroll we had in mind. It gave the impression of a place coasting on past glory, not one actively maintained or cared for.
In the end, I’m left with mixed feelings. It was fun to try, and the concept has a lot of potential. But for the price, I wouldn’t recommend it — not until they give the place the refresh it clearly needs.
