Escape to Paradise: Your Modern Ostsee Retreat Awaits in Kellenhusen!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the sparkling waters (and hopefully, the perfect spa) of "Escape to Paradise: Your Modern Ostsee Retreat Awaits in Kellenhusen!" Prepare for the full, unfiltered, and maybe a little bit wonky review. Let's call it a "Real Review," shall we?
First Impressions: The Promise and the Parking… Oh, the Parking
So, I’m picturing escape, right? A modern Ostsee retreat. Kellenhusen? Sounds exotic, like a Bond villain's beachfront lair…hopefully without the death ray. The website promised gleaming modernity, sleek lines, and… well, paradise. The reality? Pretty darn close, folks. Check-in was a breeze – thank god after that drive. Contactless, super efficient (a definite plus in these times) and the front desk staff were genuinely friendly, not just the "I've been trained to be friendly" kind. They felt… normal.
Okay, now I gotta be real. Finding a parking spot was a bit of an adventure. There's on-site parking, billed as "free of charge." But, uh, it's not as plentiful as the website suggests. We circled a few times, which caused my travel companion and I to engage in a minor parking lot spat. Nothing major, just some passive-aggressive sighs and a pointed "are you sure that's where you want to park?" Thankfully, the valet was not available at the time, so the parking situation was the only major issue.
Accessibility: The Good, the Great, and the… Needs Improvement?
Accessibility is a big deal, especially considering the 'modern' promise from the hotel. The elevator was a lifesaver, getting all the way up to our room (more on that later!). I didn't personally need full wheelchair access but noticing things about it is a habit I picked up from a friend. They had facilities for guests with disabilities, which is a big win. I did, however, only see the elevators and the accessible corridors, so I'm not sure about how much accessible the amenities really are.
The Room: My Personal Oasis (with some minor hiccups)
We ended up in a non-smoking room – thankfully – with a killer view. The room itself? Clean, modern, and with all the bells and whistles you'd expect. The air conditioning was a godsend (it got hot). The blackout curtains? Glorious. They really did block out everything. The bed? Cloud-like, with extra long beds. I passed out the first night without even realizing what happened.
- The Hiccups: Okay, honesty time. The bathroom, while modern, could have used a little more oomph. The shower was fine, good water pressure but not a jaw-dropping experience. The little details, like complimentary tea and good toiletries made up for it though.
- Tech Stuff: Free Wi-Fi? Check. Fast and reliable? Double-check! The internet was solid, which is crucial even on vacation. I could stream my shows, and annoy my coworkers with ease. I even had a laptop workspace, which I didn't use, but hey, it was there!
- The View: The window that opened… the light! The view itself was great, but I'd recommend requesting a high floor. Worth it.
Food, Glorious Food (and Booze!)
Okay, let's get down to the essentials: food and drink. "Escape to Paradise" doesn't disappoint. Several restaurants are on-site, and the breakfast buffet is legendary. Let's be honest though, the buffet experience is a gamble. Sometimes it's amazing, other times it is a stressful, people-filled minefield. Still, the options were fantastic, especially the assortment of breads, cold cuts, and fresh fruit options. They had a selection of Asian cuisine too, which was a great unexpected addition.
- The Bar: The bar was also a highlight. They have a poolside bar, which, in summer, is just. The perfect spot to sip a cocktail.
- Room Service: Room service was available, 24 hours. A lifesaver after a long day of… relaxing.
- The Snack Bar: The snack bar was a good spot for midday bites. I'm a sucker for a good snack bar.
Spa & Relaxation: Where the Magic Happens (or Almost Happens)
- Sauna: "Escape to Paradise" boasts a spa with a sauna, steam room, and the promise of pure bliss. The sauna was amazing. The steam room was a little…underwhelming. The massage, however, was phenomenal. Seriously, one of the best massages I've ever had. I'm trying to get the masseuse's contact information so I can bring them back home with me.
- The Pool: I opted for the swimming pool with a view, and it was wonderful.
- Body scrub, Body wrap: Not experienced.
- Fitness center, Gym/fitness: The gym was pretty well equipped, though not huge. Still, enough to get a good workout in. I only dropped by to take photos, but it did have a good range of equipment.
Cleanliness & Safety
This is where "Escape to Paradise" really shines. They take cleanliness seriously, and it shows.
- Anti-viral cleaning products? Check.
- Daily disinfection in common areas? Check.
- Rooms sanitized between stays? Absolutely.
- They are fully in line with the new hygiene certification.
- Hand sanitizer was everywhere.
- Staff trained in safety protocol? Felt like it. Everyone was helpful, and the whole hotel felt safe and secure.
- Physical distancing of at least 1 meter? Mostly enforced.
Things to Do:
Kellenhusen itself offers a range of activities. You can hit the beach (obviously), stroll along the promenade, or explore the local shops. "Escape to Paradise" offers things to do too, by way of being next to the beach.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
- Daily housekeeping? Yup, the rooms were always spotless.
- Laundry and dry cleaning? Available, which is handy.
- Concierge? Extremely helpful.
- Elevator? Yes, which made life much easier.
- Cash withdrawal? Conveniently located on-site.
- A convenience store.
For the Kids:
While I don't have kids, the hotel seemed very family-friendly. Babysitting service was available, and there were kids' facilities. They also have a kids meal, which is a godsend.
Overall Vibe & My Emotional Takeaway
So, did "Escape to Paradise" actually deliver on its promise? Mostly, yes! It's modern, clean, and well-equipped. The staff are lovely. The spa is worth the price of admission. The location is great. Honestly, it's the kind of place you can imagine yourself being on vacation for weeks on end.
My biggest takeaway? This is a hotel that tries. They actively try to give you a great experience. They pay attention to detail. Yes, there were some minor bumps in the road (parking, a slightly underwhelming steam room), but overall, they hit the mark.

Escape to Paradise: Your Dream Veere Holiday Home Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups. This isn't your glossy brochure itinerary. This is my (potentially disastrous) attempt to experience the Landlust Modern retreat in Kellenhusen, Germany. Prepare for sand in your shoes, questionable food choices, and the occasional existential crisis.
Landlust Modern Retreat: Kellenhusen – A Messy, Wonderful Adventure
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Expectations Crash (and Burn, Slightly)
10:00 AM: The Dreaded Drive. Okay, so the drive from… well, let's just say somewhere inland was LONG. I'd packed everything I thought I needed: three novels (I’ll probably only read one), five different types of sunscreen (because, you know, German sun), and a whole bag of emergency chocolate. (Priorities, people!) I'd envisioned myself arriving, fresh-faced, ready to conquer the Baltic Sea. Instead, I arrived, slightly carsick, and already questioning my life choices.
12:00 PM: Landlust Liberation! (or, Finding the Damn Retreat). Google Maps, bless its heart, led me on a scenic tour of Kellenhusen. Finally, SUCCESS! The retreat looked… exactly like the pictures. Clean lines, blonde wood, perfect. My immediate reaction? "Oh GOD, I hope I don't spill coffee." My inner slob was already in full panic mode.
1:00 PM: Unpacking Chaos & The "First Bite" of Disaster. The apartment was gorgeous, seriously. I swear, I spent a solid hour just staring at the minimalist kitchen. Then, the unpacking commenced. My luggage spat out clothes like a deranged clown car. The chocolate survived, at least. I decided on instant ramen for lunch. Classy, right? It was the only thing I could find in the grocery store that satisfied my craving, which was a very specific longing.
3:00 PM: Beach Reconnaissance & The Case of the Missing Seagull. I HAD to hit the beach. The Baltic beckoned! The sand WAS glorious. Soft, cool, and perfectly… sandy. I walked for a while, watched a little kid try to eat a dead crab (ew), and tried to meditate. My meditative state lasted approximately 2 minutes. Then, a seagull swooped down and stole my attention with its weird, aggressive eyes. I am fairly sure that seagull glared at me for a good 10 minutes.
7:00 PM: Dinner at the Local (and the Questionable Schnitzel). I'd prepped a restaurant recommendation, but my German is, shall we say, “interpretive.” The waitress, bless her heart, must have sensed my panic when I butchered the pronunciation. I ordered the schnitzel, expecting crispy perfection. What I got was… something. Let's just say, the emergency chocolate came in handy. I was definitely hungry because i hadn´t eaten much all day.
9:00 PM: Sunset Stunned Silence… and Mosquito Mayhem. The sunset over the Baltic was genuinely breathtaking. Golden light, gentle waves…it almost made me forget the schnitzel. Almost. And then the mosquito attack began. I ran back to the apartment, swatting, slapping, and muttering about the insect population. Lesson learned: Always bring bug spray.
Day 2: Rediscovering the Joys of…Doing Absolutely Nothing
9:00 AM: Coffee, Contemplation, and the Unbearable Lightness of Being… Bored. I had grand plans! I was going to hike, cycle along the coast, and write my novel. Right now, I was staring at the ceiling, contemplating the existential dread of an empty coffee pot. I was a bit in a mood.
10:00 AM: The Great Beach Read (Finally!). I grabbed my book, my sunscreen, and my emergency chocolate (again, priorities!). I found a spot in the sand. The sun was gloriously hot. The book was good. The world was… good. For two glorious hours, I was serene.
1:00 PM: Lunches are hard. Another instant ramen. I was running a little late to get to the grocery store. The panic was setting in, I was starving. I was starting to resent my inability to procure more substantial meals.
3:00 PM: Cycling…with a Side of Disaster. I rented a bike. "Easy," I thought. "Scenic." I was quickly proven wrong. The bike seat felt like a torture device, and I nearly face-planted into a bush at least three times. I got some good pictures, though. And, I needed to get some exercise, so I pushed through it.
6:00 PM: Apologies to the Beach. A little bit of self-loathing. I returned to the beach and I stood for a while. Then, I watched the water. It seemed to be the only thing I could do well.
8:00 PM: Trying not to drown in boredom is hard, Dinner at home. I managed to whip up some pasta. It wasn´t pretty, but it was edible. Afterwards, I sat as a very depressed pile in the apartment.
9:00 PM: Early Night. The only thing that kept me going.
Day 3: Embracing the Mess… and the Unexpected Joys
9:00 AM: The Sun is Shining. I got some coffee and some pastry. I felt a bit better. I decided to start my day a little happier.
10:00 AM: A new place to visit. I looked up a new place to visit in town. I wanted to get a bit of an experience and to get to know some locals.
12:00 PM: The local shopping market. I roamed around and bought some of the local products. It was awesome.
1:00 PM: Lunch. I grabbed some lunch at a restaurant I looked up. It was really good and I felt a huge relief.
2:00 PM: Beach. I went swimming, I got water in my eyes. I hated the beach again.
6:00 PM: Dinner. I went into a restaurant again and this time I ate a burger. It was amazing.
7:00 PM: The best night. I went to a bar and I talked to a couple there. I felt a little less alone.
8:00 PM: Bedtime.
Day 4: Departure…with a Hint of Regret (and a Whole Lot of Sand)
9:00 AM: Coffee and a Sigh. Time to pack. Ugh. I swear, my suitcase is a black hole.
10:00 AM: Last Beach Walk. One last stroll on the beach. I actually felt…a little sad to leave. Even with the mosquito bites, the questionable schnitzel, and the near-death biking experience.
11:00 AM: Goodbye, Kellenhusen! I locked the door. I made sure I didn’t forget anything. I think.
12:00 PM: Drive home. The dreaded drive. My car was filled with sand, emergency chocolate wrappers, and a newfound appreciation for… well, everything.
Okay, spill. Is "Escape to Paradise" *actually* paradise? Like, real-deal, coconut-drink-with-a-tiny-umbrella paradise?
Alright, buckle up, buttercup, because the truth is... it depends on your definition of paradise. Let's be honest, I went expecting a *little* bit of that tiny-umbrella action. And did I get it? Well... No. But did I have something even better? Yes, kinda. Think less sweltering tropical heat, more crisp Baltic Sea air that practically slaps you awake. Paradise is a feeling, not a location, and at Escape to Paradise, I got that feeling. It's less 'castaway on a desert island' and more 'cosy weekend away where the biggest challenge is deciding if you want another waffle.' And the waffles? Oh, the waffles...
What's the deal with Kellenhusen itself? Is it… you know… *interesting*?
Okay, Kellenhusen. My first thought? "Huh. German beach town. Alright." My *second* thought? "Wow, those are some serious beach chairs." Seriously. They're the kind of chairs you could build a small fort in. And you know what? I loved them. Kellenhusen is charming, in a very understated, *efficient* German way. The pier is *amazing* for a sunset stroll. There are adorable little shops selling… well, I can't remember what they sold, but everything looked delightful and I desperately wanted a nautical-themed mug even though my kitchen is already a graveyard of mugs. It's not exactly Ibiza, but it’s the perfect combination of relaxed and… well, German. It's like stepping into a postcard!
The apartments… are they, like, *Instagrammable*? I need the aesthetic, people!
Okay, okay, I get it. Instagram, you gotta feed the beast, right? Well, the apartments? They *are* pretty darn nice. Clean lines, modern furniture, everything feels fresh and… well, *designed*. I spent a solid twenty minutes just taking pictures of the kitchen (because, let’s face it, the food is the most important part of any trip). The balcony? Perfect for morning coffee and brooding. The only problem? My actual real life, which is not aesthetic at all. I spent a good hour trying to get the *perfect* flat lay of my waffle, and my phone ended up covered in syrup. So... maybe ask the cleaning staff to clean after the waffle-spill is my recommendation.
What about the beach? Is it a sandy paradise, or a seaweed-infested nightmare? (Be honest, please!)
The beach? Oh, *the beach*. Okay, okay, deep breaths. It's… beautiful. It's wide and sandy with a very gentle slope, perfect for a leisurely swim. The sand is clean, and it *sparkles* in the sun. And the water… well, it's the Baltic Sea, so the water is cold. *Very* cold. I went in. I regretted it *immediately*. My scream probably woke up half of Kellenhusen, or at least startled a few seagulls. But you know what? I'd do it again. Because after the initial shock, it's exhilarating. And the feeling of being *alive*? Worth the temporary hypothermia. The seaweed situation? Minimal, surprisingly. Mostly just found some interesting shells, which I'm now using as tiny ashtrays (because, you know, I'm *that* person).
What kind of activities are available nearby? I don't want to just sit on a beach chair (though... tempting).
Okay, look. I *did* sit on a beach chair. For a *very* long time. No regrets. But yes, there are things to *do*! I walked along the pier (multiple times!), went for a bike ride (nearly crashed into a flock of geese, a total adrenaline rush!), and ate ALL the fish sandwiches. Seriously, the fish sandwiches are a must. There are also opportunities to do watersports, but I preferred the beach chair. There are also spas for those of us who are obsessed with relaxation. And... and... I think there were some nature trails? But honestly, I was mostly focused on the waffles and the fish sandwiches. Priorities, people!
Is it family-friendly? Or more of a romantic getaway vibe?
Both! It's that kind of place. I saw families building sandcastles, couples holding hands while watching the sunset, and solo travelers like myself embracing the blissful solitude. It's a very inclusive place. The apartments have space for families, there are playgrounds and activities for kids, and the overall vibe is chilled out. But, equally, it's absolutely perfect for a romantic getaway. Seriously. Just the sound of the waves, the cosy apartments... if I wasn't a solo traveller, I'd have brought a partner. Just saying.
Should I bring my doggy?
Ummm, yes! Absolutely! There are plenty of dog-friendly spots, including the beach (certain areas, of course, check the rules). I saw THE cutest golden retriever frolicking in the surf. It honestly brought a tear to my eye. So, yeah, bring the furry friend. But be warned: you might end up spending your entire vacation taking photos of your dog. I nearly did. And now I feel bad because I didn't. So, yes. Bring the dog. You won't regret it.
What's the food scene like? (This is important.)
Okay, hold onto your hats, because the food is… well, it’s German seaside food. Which means… AMAZING. Fresh fish, delicious bread (the Germans take their bread *very* seriously), and… and the waffles. Oh, the waffles. I may or may not have eaten waffles for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Don't judge me. They were *that* good. There are plenty of cute little restaurants and cafes, but honestly, I was pretty happy with a fish sandwich on the beach. Simple, satisfying, perfect. Just be aware that service in general may be slower than you're used to. Relax, grab a beer, and enjoy the view!
Any downsides? Because nothing's perfect, right?
Alright, the truth bomb: The Wi-Fi was a little… spotty in my apartment. And, let's be honestHotel Adventure
