Beachclub Bistro Lounge - Later aan Zee — Restaurant in Bloemendaal

I recently had a disappointing experience at Later aan Zee in Bloemendaal and I feel compelled to share my negative review. The staff at this establishment were incredibly unprofessional, which greatly affected my overall impression of the place. To begin with, I found it incredibly disrespectful and unsettling that bills were flying around right in my face. It's unacceptable for a business to have such a lack of organization and attention to detail.

Furthermore, the pricing at Later aan Zee was exorbitant, particularly considering the quality of the amenities. I was shocked to discover that I was charged a staggering 50 euros for a second-hand bed. This is an outrageous price for what should be a basic necessity, and it left me feeling cheated and unsatisfied with my experience.

Another major disappointment was the location of Later aan Zee. Despite its name, it is not situated on the beach as one would expect. This false advertising led to a sense of deception and made me question the integrity of the establishment. I had specifically chosen this place to enjoy the beachfront atmosphere, only to find myself misled and disappointed.

To add to the list of grievances, the umbrellas provided were not in working order. It was frustrating to discover that there was a lack of functional umbrellas available for use. This meant that I was unable to find proper shade on a hot day, making my time at Later aan Zee quite uncomfortable and inconvenient.

Overall, my experience at Later aan Zee in Bloemendaal was extremely unsatisfactory. The unprofessional staff, the absurdly high prices for subpar amenities, the misleading location, and the lack of working umbrellas all contributed to a disappointing visit. I would strongly advise others to explore alternative options when looking for a beachfront experience in the area, as Later aan Zee fell far short of...

The event itself was fantastic, but the venue left a lot to be desired:

You had to pay to use the toilets after entry, which felt unreasonable. The sinks in the restroom area ran out of water three hours before the event ended — completely unacceptable for hygiene. Prices were excessive: €6 for 250ml of beer and €4.50 for the same amount of water. There was no visible EHBO (first aid) area, and staff couldn’t direct anyone to assistance. Lockers were €12.50 with a €10 deposit, and used outdated key systems instead of more secure, modern options.

The venue clearly needs major improvements to match the quality of the...

Had lunch here, because this place is a bit further away from the crowd. Though, the food is not great.

The kroketten were too crusty (fried dark), and the hamburger was just over done (it tasted gummy). The waitress reported it back to the chef, but that’s it.

Pure taste, but the fries were pretty salty, and the bread was crunchy as well. Either you hate it or love it.

The service was quick.

Use as this place a lounge? Definitely, it’s cosy! Have lunch or dinner?...
