"The Leonardo Hotel IJmuiden Seaport Beach was a PERFECT place to stay prior to my granddaughters embarking on her "Semester at Sea" program cruise ship. We were greeted by friendly and helpful staff upon our early arrival. It seemed they were well prepared for the many guests arriving for this program. Our room was available for occupancy in advance of the published check in time. Additionally front desk staff arranged for a taxi in advance of embarking on the ship as the "path" appeared close but was hindered by staircases and as it turned out heavy rain the next morning.
We selected a room identified for families in order to accommodate the three of us. The room was very spacious room, an additional bedroom, a beautiful balcony with a view of the marina and cruise ships. The shower, sink and dressing area were in a separate room from the toilet and sink. This configuration made it quite convenient for multiple guests.
My compliments to all the staff in the restaurant. The design of the kitchen allowed visibility of the chefs preparing meals and they were responsive to arriving guests. The wait staff and bartenders were equally pleasant and offered delicious suggestions for our meal. A morning buffet for breakfast was beautifully presented but we chose just specialty coffees to start our day.
This was a wonderful location for our "sendoff"."
