Moderate Fitness Required

Hi, The place is beautiful and the cabins are amazing, but not for the elderly or anyone with mobility challenges. Our cabin had many stairs. To get to the swimming pool - many stairs. To get to the private beach - for me was impossible. They said it was 50m from the parking area. That was the longest 50m I have ever walked (+- 500m) Although the walk on the wooden boardwalk was pleasant, an insurmountable sand dune without stepping stones, walkway or even rope to pull on to help with the ascent, prevented me from reaching the sea. :( A handrail at the steps in the pool would also be appreciated. Otherwise very nice place.
