Op Oost - Boutique Hotel & Restaurant - Oost 76

Geweldige locatie, super personeel en fantastisch eten! Wát een belevenis; vanaf het moment dat we (een groep van 15 personen) aankwamen bij Op Oost was het meteen feest. Bubbels en heerlijke hapjes in de tuin waar kippen en pauwen rondscharrelen. Fantastische kamers, of liever gezegd appartementen, die allemaal uniek zijn. 's Avonds het 'Served by Nature' menu in het pop-up restaurant van Op Oost in hotel Opduin. Heel bijzonder! De volgende ochtend stonden de gehuurde fietsen klaar zodat we, na een luxe ontbijt, naar Oudeschild konden fietsen. Van daaruit zijn we met kapitein Frido naar de vismarkt in Den Oever. Uitgebreide rondleiding over de vismarkt en door de haven waar Frido van alles vertelde over de visserij. Tijdens de tocht terug naar de haven van Oudeschild cava en oesters! Na een middag die we vrij konden besteden (genoeg te zien en beleven op Texel) gingen we onder leiding van Jan Wolter (na een "theorieles" over oesters) zelf oesters rapen en eten natuurlijk, met een heerlijk glas Vonkelbier. 's Avonds weer op de fiets richting een strandtent in de buurt. De volgende ochtend weer een heerlijk ontbijt en daarna weer richting het vaste land. Kortom; we hebben een fantastisch weekend gehad (kantooruitje) en het team van Op Oost, maar ook Frido en Jan hebben daar een grote rol in gespeeld. Enorm vriendelijke mensen en fantastisch hoe gepassioneerd de beide mannen vertellen over hun werk! We zullen nog lang nagenieten van alle indrukken en belevenissen...

Wonderful, delightful, charming, delicious, simple, beautiful.

Stayed here from 24 to 26 July 2020. Stylish rooms, and had a very pleasant stay. Looking forward to returning when the restaurant is opened as well.

The owners come from restaurant and events/hospitality background and it shows in all of the lovely details of the property. From the "pick yourself" herbs for tea in the common garden to the high quality COCO-MAT bed mattress to the home grown breakfast basket, the entire experience was amazing.

We've been to a couple of one and two stars restaurants this year but none of them was as good as this non-star gem. Go with the eight course surprise menu and enjoy every bite. Very special: the non-alcoholic food-pairing is outstanding and even better than the already amazing wine-pairing.

To be honest we made a mistake by booking Fruits de Mer Compleet while in fact we thought we booked another menu at the location in West, so this amount of seafood was more than what we could expect, but I believe this will be perfect for the fresh seafood lovers. I saw everyone happy in the restaurant, the service was great, the drinks were great, the mood was nice too. No loud tourists. Next time we want to stay in your room too. Thank you for having us.

A fantastic getaway that you'll simply not find elsewhere! I was treated to a wonderful weekend in Texel by my girlfriend and was absolutely thrilled to have stayed at Op Oost. Among the chickens, tweeting birds and the great outdoors, this is a cozy hotel in a tranquil area. There's a beautiful garden to it with plants, well groomed shrubbery, a swing chair and outdoor terraces for all the garden rooms! We were well taken care of with all the necessary amenities, housekeeping and friendly staff throughout our stay. Breakfast was terrific and came delivered in a picnic basket to our doorstep. The restaurant on premise is a must-book too, with many of the ingredients coming from the hotel garden! If you're not dining with the rest, you'll even spot some staff plucking extra ingredients at dinner time. Overall, Op Oost is a serene, hearty hotel with reliable staff. This place is highly recommended.

Beware the application of cancellation terms at this hotel. I was scheduled to stay for 2 nights from 18-20 February and was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately Storm Eunice hit the Dutch coast on Friday 18th, and I decided to cancel my stay as the ferry company said they might not be running ferries to Texel that day (as it turned out, all ferries were canceled for several hours that afternoon and the harbour in Texel flooded). The return on Sunday 20th was also in doubt due to a predicted follow-up storm system (not as severe, but which also caused delays). I (foolishly) had prepaid and was of course prepared to sacrifice the first night's stay due to the late change of plan. I asked the hotel to refund the second night, as I was providing more than 24 hours' notice, and this was refused. I even had to fight with them about refunding the prepaid breakfast charges, which they eventually did. I am sympathetic to the challenges hotels have faced during the pandemic, but given the unique circumstances (winds of 140km/hour; no ferries) I would have expected much more flexibility. I would have liked to stay at this hotel, as it has positive reviews, but I will not be giving it a second try.
